Gabby: If this is any different
She endured it all, like a bit of sand that is made into glass, and then, thrown again into a furnace to melt, made into something better.
She said the things she had to say. (Ah, granpere, she thought, did you ever want to kick him in the teeth like I do?) The response was more or less as expected. She was tired-of self pity, so she pushed away ( Read more... ) -
Awakenings
“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?” - John Lennon
She came awake at sunset with a scream pouring out from her throat. She clenched her fists convulsively into her sheets, her ( Read more... ) -
I found a reason
She chose her words deliberately, deliberately refusing to give him her answer until the night when he posed the question.
There were a lot of good reasons to choose the Vth, but the one that tipped the scales was this... I want to be your friend, your equal. Not your underling.

Midwest Assembly 2009: Stop that idea right there
She had remembered to tell Monica that she had come back from the caves unharmed. She knew there would be worry, she hadn't thought it would make Monica temporarily take leave of her senses.

Midwest Assembly 2009: TB
Fuck you, TB.
You've claimed to be my friend, but you don't know me at all if you think that there are no vampires capable of altruism.
You claim to be fearless, but instead of going after the real enemy, you try to bully strangers.
You make assumptions, fly off the handle without facts.
I wanted you to be better than this.
Fuck you, TB. -
Midwest Assembly 2009: An interview
Power and greatness.
I do not want these things. I want to create a meaningful life for my friends and family and for anyone else willing to come along for the ride.
You think that I think I'm special.
You have oversimplified. I know what I am. I know what birth and blood call forth from me.
Special is not a thing I am. It is a thing I do.
But what you ( Read more... ) -
Gabby: Shoulda Known
After a period of inactivity, things began to move again. Perhaps it was simply that she had placed herself in Monica's orbit, in a city under siege. A city run by dangerous idiots, from what she could tell.

Gabby: Family
She wonders if she could put her feet up on the pristine desk, if it would make him smile or scowl. "How much I'd love..." he told her, "to be a family again... but perhaps good things are not meant to last."
I would love it too, she thinks. Ambition has made the Lie true, finally, and a few succeed, while the rest struggle and fail.

Gabby: Home
In the thick Russian woods that surround the old military base, there is a tree with branches close together, perfect for a child to climb ( Read more... )
