You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is there any requirement to suck on the same side as the fist pump? I suddenly find I can't not.

No requirement at all. You can use your discretion there.

Now I have visions of this spreading the country, or at least San Francisco, and making its way back around to K, who made it up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita, JZ just shared a story with me about a 19th century ruffian in New Orleans named John Miller that you absolutely must have her recount to you, should you catch her online.

Dude, was a freaky badass. Like...Thunderdome freaky.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Okay, I need to amend that to note that John Miller's girlfriend, Mary Jane "Bricktop" Jackson was even more of a badass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I definitely need to know how one gets the nickname "Bricktop."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sorry, ita. To us, you're always going to be known as "Fluffy....ita."

NONE of you make it into my memoirs, you hear? NONE.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You mean "My FLuffy Life"? I look forward to reading it.

Sadly, all that's needed is to be a red-head. However, this tale involves knife fights, amputation, chains, balls on chains, whips, stabbing. And that's the romance.
