A little over an hour before the extended deadline (I am so bad with deadlines; I wish I had the willpower to fix that), here is my 2009 [livejournal.com profile] femgenficathon story, in which I had way too much fun tying random canon elements together in tidy loops. 2,400 words.

Prompt: 68) Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in. -- Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923), New Zealand writer of short fiction.
Summary: Charn is gone; nostalgia is useless. Jadis has new worlds to conquer, if she can only find the way.
Author's Notes: This is, about three times over, not the story I meant to write, though it is still about Jadis and her sister (after a fashion). Someday I will get those other stories finished as well. Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] willowgreen for her speedy and insightful beta-reading!

Little Sister

And that is that.

[ETA: The slightly revised final version is now up here on AO3 and here on ff.net !]
