So Merry of kaneresidence just suggested I join almighthat and kittydesade's ridiculously long fic. (Starring Griffin and Rose of hats_head and co-starring sebastian_kane and the ladies at 73littlesurrey.) She was under the impression I could help. Help Griffin, that is.

Okay, so there are a couple of flaws in this master plan.

I am a turn-of-the-current-century Californian Mary Sue. Puella Moderna all the way,

Then perhaps you shouldn't help at all.

[gina_burnett]

*shrugs* Maybe I shouldn't. But I offered to have a conversation, not dress up in period costume and go... mess up a story.

Sometimes it helps folk like them to let folk like us talk things out. We put things differently, or know things that they don't know on a conscious level. I thought I could help Juli. This has to be hard for her.

You have no idea.

It rarely helps for ... well, it rarely helps to interfere.

[gina_burnett]

I can guess. And maybe I can't put it into words, but I can make a pretty good guess.

But okay. I can not interfere, if that's how it looks or feels. If it doesn't help.

*half a smile* But you do know that about me. That I try to help, if... Well. That I try.
