*draws hearts around this whole thing* I love how the poetry moved with this (a lot of times with this motif, it hurts rather than helps, but here it works so well). I love your Tosh voice, and how she comes to her decision. I love her look at London and her childhood.

*gets out another glitter pen to draw more hearts*

:D :D :D

Thank you! The original story idea was something completely different until I read the poem. And then I realized it could make it into this instead! I'm so glad the words worked. (I admit that I have skipped the poem bits in fics before, so I tried to tie them together.)

*admires glittery fic.*

This is lovely.And for some reason that last line really got to me. Maybe because we know where that choice eventually leads to. And who knew Beowulf could be so versitile.

Thank you! It did get a bit melancholy on me.

And who knew Beowulf could be so versitile.

I know, right? I actually skipped quite a lot of stuff in Beowulf to get the quotes I wanted, but I was surprised how easily I could work with them.

Thank you! Whenever I hear something interesting about Japan like that, I try to figure out what the implications would be for Tosh. :)

this a a beautiful way of filling in Tosh's yonger years. her choices..surely she must have made choices...

[eldarwannabe]

Thank you! Despite Fragments, we really know very little about Tosh's background and choices and it's really interesting to explore.

A lovely look at Tosh at a pivotal point in her life. Makes me wonder what her life would have been like if she'd chosen Japanese citizenship instead.

Thank you! It's an idea that's been bubbling in my head since I found out that Japan has a strict no-double-citizenship policy. What would her life have been like in Japan?
