Out of bitter tragedy, Bright Macintosh vowed to Pear Butter that he would never abandon her. And he did not.
Six years later, a different choice gave him a second chance.
Now he has to learn the hardest lesson of all: how to stop surviving, and how to start living.
An entry in the Ancestral Tribute Contest.
I love this fic.
Oh, this is gorgeous. I kind of want to explore this timeline further, but I'm happy to leave it here. Outstanding exploration of Bright Mac's character in a wide variety of circumstances, along with a great supporting cast. I love the little logical bits like Buttercup speaking pony-French inferred from her father's nickname. Thank you for a deeply touching story, and best of luck in the judging.
That was a good story.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!

Thank you, oddball ghost! (Yeah, let this be a reminder to me that I've got to start writing these things earlier than just before the deadline. )
