Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dana, that is just a clusterfuck for your family. The sort of people who pre-announce a termination don't sound like they're all warm and fuzzy about work/life balance, but I hope they do your husband fairly, and that he's not even on the potential list anyway. Y'all need to move on your schedule, not anyone else's.
Why won't Gina Torres marry me? What did I do wrong? Is it the straight thing? Me? Or her? Shit.

I'm so sorry Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Husband is talking to his parents, and apparently his mother doesn't think he needs to come to the funeral. His family is very different than mine.
But they both agree that the timing would be bad, with the layoffs.

I'm sorry, Dana. I can't imagine why they'd think it was a good idea to tell a department that small that one would be let go. Did they expect the four to arm wrestle for it or something?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, no, Dana.
I would still go, layoffs be damned, but that's my family.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm sorry, Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would go too, and have choice words for anyone who suggested I shouldn't go, but it's his family, so.
