    Bookmarker's Notes

    Rarely do I find a writing style with such a beautiful balance of humor and those deep, aching feels

    He misses the consonant of the Russian ‘nyet’. The English ‘no’ just makes you sound like a pussy. The way the vowel can keep rolling and rolling and rolling. Nooooo. Nooooooooooo. Like a sullen toddler at the skirts of its mother. God, have all his analogies always been so child and parent centered?

    “So,” Yuna says, as she polishes off her third glass of cabernet. “When are you boys going to get started on kids?”

    Shane chokes on his tiramisu.

    Or: Maybe Shane doesn’t want kids.

    This fic single-handedly cured me of the burning rage/fatigue combo I feel when it comes to kidfics. I can now see a kidfic from any fandom whatsoever and feel normal about it. It reinforced my 'if you don't like it ignore it and move on' agenda with steel and then some. Thank you.

    Summary

    After Ilya leaves the cottage, Yuna comes over to cheer Shane up. And maybe—maybe—excavate some shit she's buried inside herself.

    Basically I think Yuna and Shane should let their hair down and gossip a little. And, you know. Heal.

    Summary

    It begins with a diary, like all things with Daddy do.

    (In which Trucy discovers Phoenix’s diary, reads it, and learns a whole lot of miserable dad-lore in the process.)

    “Let’s burn it,” Trucy says once more, urgent this time, “and then let’s get up early tomorrow and go for a walk, and let’s say ‘good morning’ to strangers, and let’s listen to the wind between the pines, and let’s smudge our shoes on sidewalk chalk and feel bad after ‘cause, damn, that was some kid’s hard work, but we didn’t mean to step on it, it was an accident, we’re only human.”

    The way Trucy and Phoenix and Edgeworth love each other so fiercely beyond measure will never not drive me insane really.
