Summary: Set post-movie. Jade tries to make sense of her place in the world. I was a small cloud in the vastness of the sky - I could evaporate any time or dissolve into rain, and no one would notice.

Oh JADE. *hugs her*

This was subtle and lovely. And clouds FTW!

\o/ Thanks, you! \o/

"I need one that says I'm an independent adult and I'm not sorry that I left but I still love you. Not that he'll open it."

Oh, yes, exactly! \Jade!/ with just a little bit of heartache in.

*snugs her* Thanks! :-D

Oh good, I'm so glad the Jade-Pearl dynamic worked for you! In the film, it seemed like the hardest part of leaving, because her mother had chosen her life, but Pearl was really just getting left behind without any choices yet. *snugs her* And they were such good friends, too.

Thanks! :-)

This is absolutely delightful. So sweet and a little sad, just like the movie. Also, I think you nailed all the characters perfectly.

"You got it," said Pearl, positively. "You've got the best scream out of anyone I know."

"You haven't heard mine," Mark told her.

HEE! You should have written the movie sequel and they should have filmed it. Alas. But that is what fanfic is for, I guess.

Thanks so much! *beams*

Whee, China! This is GLORIOUS. I am, as always, stunned and delighted by your talent with the words. Jade! Pearl! Mark! Love being hard! Jade being really good at screaming and Pearl's loyal, automatic "You've got the best scream out of anyone I know." AWESOME.

Oh YAY! I am so very very glad you liked it! It was terrifying and fun to try to get my head around Jade's feelings at being cut off from her family like that -- I would never have attempted to write it if you hadn't asked for it, and I'm very glad I did. So thank you, and also for the generosity of your prompts which gave me so much room to move! <3 <3 <3

GLOMP!

[slidellra]

I love it! I definitely appreciate the challenge in getting into Jade's head, and I think you did an amazing job. And, wow, you're generous in calling my prompts generous; the lack of structure must have hurt your brain. Thank you so much for triumphing!

Actually the lack of structure meant I didn't have to force it to be more pairing-oriented than it wanted to be. ♥
