Okay, that's a bit recursive.
But as Ginger notes, you've got to move the parents out of the story somehow to give the kids agency.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aimee, I'm so sorry. All strength and courage to your dad, to you and the rest of your family and those who loved her.

Breaks me every time.
Matilda and Emmett are luminous together. Iris is a beautiful butterfly. But then second-generation Buffistas are all beautiful and brave.
I'm a day late, Daniel, but I hope your birthday was happy.
Libkitty, I hope your mom is doing well, and that you're holding up okay.
Sorry to be scarce. Can't be helped right now. Miss you all.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper - and those are from just Twain. There's Prince Caspian, and other assorted semi-orphans in Narnia. Jumanji - may not be a classic example, but I really liked the movie.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

God, thee and me both, love.

IOpettymeNews, fuck it. I'm quite sure now that something went wrong with my dental surgery last week, now that the swelling calmed down. I think (I don't think the next part is gross, but your grossness may vary) they sewed the part between the lip and the gum a little bit too close (and it's about 3 milliliters under my nose), so laughing, talking as usual and chewing as usual hurt. And while there are many things I'm OK with getting used to while having the braces, I'm not OK with not being fucking able to laugh. Leave me this, at least? I'm already talking like the girls I despised in junior high, that's bad enough, trust me.
And there's nothing I can do about it until Thursday night, the earliest, without skipping classes in my first week in uni.
Don't wanna have another dental surgery in one month to fix the previous one. Really, really don't. That was scary.
