And then I switch from poking Jowy Atreides with all the sticks to Flik and Odessa being awkwardorable. I think this one is basically spoiler-free, too! Unless “Flik and Odessa are my precious precious babies” is a spoiler, which I don’t think it is.

(Leaving a comment here because I don't have an AO3 account and don't like commenting anonymously, but may I say girl you should have known he was a virgin was the BEST tag) Yes, so, my erudite and thoughtful response to this is basically a high-pitched squeal of utter glee. This was delightful on basically every possible level (except for the part when Odessa mentioned knowing she could trust Sanchez and I was momentarily blinded by rage, but I was honestly expecting so much more dramatic irony from you two, like more on the level of, "You know what the best part of this is? How no one in this room is ever going to be tragically murdered! Isn't that the best? Hahaha," so). Also, this totally makes me want to have Silverberg fic with Leon and Mathiu and Odessa and baby Albert and I digress ( ... )

You do realize that Mith and I now have to use that line in a future fic, right? :D But I'm glad this delighted you! And I kind of want to write all the growing-up-Silverberg fic in the world, because I'm pretty sure that neither Leon nor Mathiu have the slightest idea what to do with Odessa. She runs around outside. And climbs trees. And comes home covered in mud, when she actually gets around to coming home. (At some point, I think Leon decides that Odessa will come home when Odessa feels like coming home, and giving the matter any more thought than that just makes his head hurt.)

I love Odessa so damn much, and the balance she strikes between idealism and practicality is a big part of why. She's wholeheartedly dedicated to her cause, but she's realistic about what she and her forces can accomplish and picks and chooses her battles. (Unfortunately, Flik never quite picked up that last part from her.) Granted, I'm not sure her expectations of herself are always as realistic because I can't help but see her as a bit of a workaholic, ( ... )
