Like all of Jacqueline's writing, just perfect. Exquisitely perfect.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

The status is NOT quo.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I can't speak for Matilda, but I certainly needed to hear that.

Mostly lurking...
Such wise and loving words.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Such beautiful words. I know that I wish my father had left something like that behind for me. My heart breaks for Matilda so much.

Since I haven't been on the board for so long, I was poking around in some TV threads and found JZ's Our Flag Means Death-related burbling yet insightful analysis of the characters and it's just so Jacqueline, having the squees and also talking about the why of the squee. Everything she writes is a pure delight to read. Always.

Our wings are not tired.
Beautiful and wise.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am here for JZ’s words of hard won wisdom. I love you all. This is so damn hard. Again.

It made her write fanfiction again which was such a joy to her after so many years of not writing.
That and her return to RenFaire this last fall were two huge reclamations of her creative self.

JZ always seemed so happy to do RenFaire. I think I’m going to finally take ltc to King Richard’s Faire this year in honor of JZ.

JZ, David, all - all my love. I am so sorry, and I love you all.
I wish this was a better world for so many of us. But having you people in it makes it abundantly better.
I have no other words right now.
