Thanks to colls for brainstorming with me! Note: this fic contains references to sensitive issues, including abortion and 1960s attitudes toward single parenthood ( ... )

4. It's not until she's happy, of course--not until she's figured things out and settled into the role and everything's going smoothly--that it all comes crashing down ( ... )

This was just absolutely wonderful. I love that you did it with a tertiary character, and really gave the pieces a chance to grow by using two posts. You also did a neat thing with the Summer of Love and Pill parts, aging the piece into a time frame that fit for Wendy. I liked that you really chose turning points in Wendy's life. Literal moments of change. Well done!

Thank you! I notice we all went with non-major characters; it was a good prompt for exploring other people.

I had fun coming up with historical events for Wendy to have participated in, so I'm glad you enjoyed that!

*draws hearts around your Wendy and offers her some pie*

Great job!

Thank you for your help! Great ideas, and it gave me a whole new take on Wendy.

dizzydame March 13 2012, 13:13:06 UTC

Oh, I love these little bits of her life so much.

skieswideopen March 14 2012, 04:03:19 UTC

Thanks! It's kind of fun filling in what they don't give us on the show. :D

I love this take on Wendy!

skieswideopen March 14 2012, 04:03:35 UTC

Thank you! I think some of this will be my new mental canon for her.

Whoa, very groovy! *g*

The last line is so great, because we can all see that Wendy not only adjusts to change very well, and sometimes even seeks it out, but will wrestle change into submission if it messes with her family! I'm admiring her a lot right now.

Thanks!

Wendy will find a way to get things into shape. Definitely.
