This is such a sweet chapter. I love it.

And you're right every child should own a copy of Where the Wild Things Are.

Your ending reduced me to tears. In a good way. But excuse any typos I make because the keyboard is all blurry now.

There were some moments that made me laugh out loud, like the 'hero, much?' conversation, and Cassie's college roommate. I love that Will and Finn essentially adopt every troubled teen that they come across (how many do they train up to being their sidekicks in fighting crime?). I love that Cassie had a difficult life, but had some doubts that were oh-so-easy to identify with. She felt very bland to me right up until she started worrying about whether she was ever going to have a life, and then BAM, she really came alive to me.

At first I was like, 'this is Juno', then the bit about Quinn made me realise, yeah, Finn is reliving that whole thing again kind of. I'm guessing that's what was going on when Finn got angry? I was kind of confused about that

Sigh. This is the problem with outsider POV and why I am seriously tempted to do a remix of this from Finn or Will's POV. Because poor Cassie totally doesn't get that while it may have sort of started out about Quinn, it's very quickly about her. Not it being Finn's job to care, not them taking her in b/c she needs a place to stay, or because it's his chance to 'do this right' but because they love her

[momoda6]

Ohhhh, that totally makes sense. I think it's fine without being remixed, I mean you kind of understand that it's Finn genuinely caring because Cassie eventually realises that. It's just weird to see Finn and Will talking without talking and not knowing what's going on. xD

Cassie could totally be like one of those friends your parents have who you don't see very often but is totally cool but you're not really that attached to in any way. (Ew that sentence was a trainwreck, I hope it makes sense. x_x) Because she's totally going to stay in touch with Finn and Will anyway, but wouldn't really be in Melody's life enough to be a mother since she's off doing her own thing.

Um, yeah. I'm rambling.

Oh, btw, loving Finn and Will's characterisations again. Cassie portrays them totally as a married couple which is kind of hilarious, but then it's contrasted with them laughing over the tights thing and making the ultrasound person confused and it's like they're kids and not the adults and it's just <3. I love that even though things are

Oh, this was wonderful and I cried.

(Also, women's colleges are totally awesome. I go to one.)
