Appropriate, this fic is appropriate.

I like the restraint here, and how the YA surround Eli and become his siblings. His grandparents are already his parents, but with his siblings so far away, yeah.

A correction : the plain tickets - plain should be 'plane'. A plain is a flat surface, a 'plane' is an aircraft.

Kanye West! Yeah, baby. *flusters at the thought of YA listening to his last album - good music, but problematic. Oh, Kayne*

Food, omg. Food! Birthday food is the best food, I swear. Meatloaf, and cake? Nom.

My favorite line has to be the bit with Tommy handing the gift, because out of all the gifts, that one was the most suited to Eli :3 Which is about right up there with all the awesome big gifts the others got him.

This was very striking to me. His grandma and grandpa have been more of parents to him than his mother ever was, but his Mom, though not very good at showing love or affection, still cares enough to remember and to contact him.

This is both sad and yet uplifting; sad because poor Eli, uplifting because yay Eli who is now so loved. :) He deserves it.
