Summary
Kindness is a matter of perspective, especially during a war.
Marian once wrote her first and last letter to Bea.
She said the kindest thing she knew- you will live through this. She didn't know if this was a promise or a curse.
Bea once watched the sister-in-law that she thought she'd never meet walk out of her bakery to shatter in peace. Bea didn't know how many times this girl-woman-child-sister-mage-aunt-so many titles- had been told her emotions were unseemly. But Bea thought if she looked hard enough she'd be able to count them like links in chainmail.
Bea handed the tall, aristocratic boy who stared after the breaking girl an ax and mentioned there was wood to be chopped. Practicality and filling hands were the kindest things she could give.
People all start small. A shutter shattered, empty hands reaching, a burning pryer in a winter forest. A prayer whispered while hidden in a farmers cart.
In the desert they fill the sky with their mourning.- Language:

Summary
It felt like she was sixteen again in all the best ways. Up against the hordes of hell with nothing more than a stake and a push up bra. Well that and back up, and people who cared about her, and people to call home and check in on. Turned out everything she fantasize when she first heard there was a second slayer? Well two decades and change later she got it. And that felt so good.
Fucking off for a few hours in the middle of the day so she didn't have to hear Buffy and Spike wear off the energy from the previous nights slayage on the other hand....

Summary
She wondered if those men, eons ago, hated themselves as much as she hated herself. She wondered if they held their abacus and weighed girls doomed to die against men to scared to fight themselves.
She wondered if they ever found themselves as wanting as she found herself.
She wondered if they cried every time a child died in the name of their war. She wondered what words they used to justify the amount of child's blood on their souls. She wondered if they slept with the peace of those who condemn without ever stepping into the fray.
She wondered if they believed in the greater good.
She hoped they choked on their righteousness.

Summary
Buffy and Faith were decades past childhood and still needed to get carded at half the bars they went to. Buffy more than Faith. Faith always wore her darkness on the surface. Still they couldn't stay among the young slayers anymore- the couldn't watch more children become heroes.
Faith wondered when the word hero stopped being something to aspire too and started sounding like a curse.
Buffy wondered when she ever believed being a hero meant anything but being soaked in blood.

Summary
"I hated you for staying. After high school. You were supposed to be the one of us that got out of here. You and Kurt and the others. You were supposed to be everything you promised the world you'd be."
Rachel could hear all the things he wasn't saying. She didn't want to. High school was a decade ago.
"You were supposed to be better Rachel."
Maybe they were putting words to all those feelings.
"You were supposed to end up in jail before your twenty-first birthday. Life isn't about supposed to Noah."

Summary
Toni liked to poke people. She liked to see how far she could push them. Becky really didn't like being pushed. The last time someone pushed her too far she'd flattened Harlem. Toni would fling questions at her left and right and than poke her with the edge of a sharp point to see how she jumped. Becky was terrified Toni would make her Hulk out and cause another instance.
She did Hulk out but she supposed since someone shot explosive arrows at the hellicarrier that could be kinda forgiven. Natasha seemed to forgive her quickly enough either way.

It’s true a woman’s kiss can kill a damned man.
Damn him to save the rest.

Summary
Stacy Rodgers met Bucky Barns in a Queens back alley where some boys were about to beat the ever loving shit out of her for daring to tell them to fuck off when they tried to stick their hands down Mary Lou’s dress. They were nine years old. The boys were twelve.
It might have been the first back alley fight Bucky found her in but it wasn’t the last.

There’s a difference.
There’s always a difference.

Summary
When her tribe staked her out on the sand dune there was no blacksmith to press her a knife but not reasons. Laney did not scream and cry when she saw the red colored lot in her hand. She did not fight the men of the tribe as they brought her to the highest dune near the oasis. She was her mother's daughter and her mother’s daughter did not let her enemies see her cry. Laney Jones wasn’t born with steel in her spine but she watched her mother long enough to find it.
Laney did not have a blacksmith to press her a knife, and she had not once in her life asked for reasons but she had a brother who could whistle the world on his voice and a desire to be more than a failed peace maker. Laney had been pressing her hands against the walls of the universe for years and there was just enough wiggle in her hands to steal magic from the air.

Summary
“Happy endings are a bit overrated aren’t they?” She asked one day. “The wolf eats the little girl, the witch pushes the children into the oven. The lion exiles the queen. Happy endings are pleasent fantasies to help children sleep at night. Real life is messy, it’s dirty and most of the time it hurts and we cling to the brief moments of joy and tell ourselves that those moments make it all worth it. Growing up is nothing more than learning to lie to yourself so well you start to believe in fairy stories again.”
