There are times when it sucks to be a decent person.

I just found $15 lying on the floor outside the computer lab. Nobody was in sight. It would have been so easy to just pocket the money and walk off...

And I would've eaten myself up inside over it ever after.

I've turned it in to the convenience store, since the building's service counter is currently closed. I hope whoever dropped the money gets it back.

(And ten thousand curses on them for putting temptation in my path! Damnit, I need a job. I'd be less conflicted if I had more money in the bank.)

This is Susan's (belated) Christmas present, all 7,300 words of it.

If I ever decide to link another series of ficlets together, and I say "Oh, it'll be easy -- I already have most of it written!" somebody please smack me. You have no idea how much tweaking it took to make all the various snippets lie down and play nicely together.

Anyway, this is based on my Ekanu ficlets, from "Beginnings" through "Paths" -- in other words, from when she's twelve to the end of her first year in Estara. It includes one completely new scene, and something like 1500 words of new material squished into the existing stories. In some cases the new material replaces old stuff. In other cases, it's supplementary.

[livejournal.com profile] aichmetes, will you tell me if I'm rambling and being an idiot in any of the transitions? Also, I think I might get your story finished by this weekend... or at least by February. *headdesk* Dunno who I'll get to edit it, though (Vicky will be far too busy settling into Budapest) so you may have to put up with my unmediated quirks, rambling, and bizarre narrative voices. Sorry!

ETA: Nevermind -- I tweaked it some and printed a clean copy. Don't worry about any edits.
