Oh, man, Scrappy. I'm sorry--that's awful.
I'm sitting here all pouty and cranky, and, now...well, also sobered. Everything is so very fragile.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Scrappy, I've been thinking of your niece and your family. I'm so sorry about all of this.

YAY for the apartment, Allyson!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Scrappy, much ~ma to you and your niece.
Allyson, I'm so glad things worked out! And good on the landlady for giving you a break on the deposit for putting up with the confusion.

So very sorry your news isn't any better, Scrappy. My fingers remained crossed as they can be for her and all your family.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Scrappy, I would like to provide both hugs and brackets anyway. So hard.
Allyson, that's great news!

Oh scrappy. I am so very sorry.
Colin's landlord just called and offered me the apartment, and gave me a big break on the security deposit for the trouble.
Yay! allyson! can you go sign a lease today? how can I help?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, Scrappy.
Yay on the good apartment news, Allyson.
I got up, fed the cats, and started making coffee this morning before I was awake enough to realize it was Saturday and I could slounge in bed instead.
I like Saturdays.
