Oh, isn't that great? I read it over on DW and was gushing all over it as I read. I don't usually read anything in first person, but this story is a real gem.

I keep looking at my Plastic!Gaila, and picturing her in Gailin's purse and making FLAPPY HANDS OF JOY.

I could write reams analyzing this story. I could get a PhD out of this story if I was allowed to, because it is that dense.

I love the universality of "Oh, honey. NEVER HAVE KIDS."

And wee!Gaila with her plastic!gaila makes me GLEE.

And that Gaila is so palpably a child, prone to all the selfish and childlike things that children do, and yet she's still herself omg. (I want to take her and Ramona-Gailin both home and feed them and give them comfort and make dioramas with tiny Gaila.)

And the older immigrant/child immigrant conflict! I saw years of my childhood in the "Orion on the outside, Human on the inside?" line. I've read novels that contained less than this splendid story.
