Title: Velveteen vs. Going Home Again.
Summary: What happens when a former child superhero returns from her travels in the seasonal lands, only to discover that things have changed, possibly forever? Velveteen is home. Home is not the same.

The Princess sat on her (increasingly tarnished) throne, hands gripping the armrests so tight that it felt like she was going to break a nail... )

I love Velveteen and remember this part of her story. Often I forget parts of a story a few weeks after I have read the book. The fact that I can remember so clearly is a sure indicator of your talent as a writer.

I still haven't figured out exactly why this series is my favorite, but I will just to accept it is. I guess knowing why isn't important. :)

Currently started to read George R. R. Martin's Wild Card series of short stories (20+) books, but Velveteen and your writing style is the top Ace of "Aces" to me.

All of this.

I didn't think my heart could ache more for Vel, and Jack and Jackie and the Princess, and Torrey.

And then this.

I have faith that Vel will overcome again, and remake the world, but I cannot bring myself to consider the cost.

I know it will be far too high, and I cannot bear the thought.

^ What they said. So many emotions, so much pain, but the possibility of hope...

Thank you, Seanan, for giving us Velveteen.
