Aw, I love it. I think it works perfectly with the prompt. And the angst! The ending is just perfectly painful and sad, but the good, angsty kind of way.

Fabulous work yet again, my dear. You never fail to impress me. ♥

I've read this a couple of times now and I'm trying to think of something more eloquent to say that 'It's great D' but I can't find the correct words to express myself (as usual).

You have a special way with words. You manage to say a hell of a lot in a few sentences.

I really enjoyed this, even though it makes me want to cry.

omg! *adores* this is just so simple and beautiful and just....*is floored*.

The description is just so perfect throughout this entire piece. I love how young Angela finds it beautiful to be classed as something so simple as "fragile", it's such an Angela type thing to think, even though when she wants to be she can be bold, confident and strong.

Then the shift to her moving to DC and becoming a Forensic Artist works perfectly, how you follow on from the theme of being an artist 'A decade later, she likes to consider herself an artist. She paints, she sketches, she finds beauty in ridiculous places. Starting Monday, though, she’ll be a forensic artist; she’s not too sure she’ll find the beauty there.' and then twists perfectly to show the change in time and location.

'The teenaged boy from the moving company blushes and apologizes, calling her “ma’am.”' - Adore this line! I can't put my finger on exactly why but I think it portrays so many things all at once, and is somehow a wonderful contrast to Angela's nervousness that is shown ( ... )
