FIC: Letterbox Five

[mhalachai]

Letter Box Five is up at TTH.

More Dawn and Spike interaction, then some Nathaniel and Anita interaction. Writing Nathaniel is always interesting, and I think I'm going good places with it.

As alway, let me know what you think.

"I don't care," Anita said. "She's the older one, she needs to be there for her sister."

Nathaniel slipped off the bed and knelt by Anita's feet. "Not everyone's as strong as you are," he said. "Not everyone can push back the pain until there is time to fall apart."

Anita looked down, at where Nathaniel's hands lay in her lap. "Yeah."

Nathaniel knew she was probably thinking of when her own mother died. He knew that, at six years old, she'd had to be the strong one when her father fell apart at her mother's death. She'd always been the strong one.



I just love that exchange. It sums up Anita's life quite nicely. :)

Yeah, she always tries to show the world how strong she is, but sometimes she's just a fragile little flower. (Which is why sometimes I think she's such a bitch to people)
