I think it is time to admit that I am not going to finish this fic, because at the moment it has no plot and the minute it acquires one, it will turn into yet another novel-length WIP hanging over my head. (Particularly since I suspect the plot would involve A) twelve trolls and twelve humans learning to deal with their new supernatural powers, and B) somebody trying to disrupt the handover from the old Aspects to the new ones -- your standard YA fantasy, in other words.) But I am fond of these opening scenes with Dave and Aradia, so I am posting them for the record.
Dave and Aradia always knew there was something different about them, but being weird's not a problem if you're weird together. (3,750 words)
( Aspects of Immortality )
I think if I continued this story, it would end up as Dave<>Aradia. Not all paired Aspects would have that sort of relationship, but I think Dave and Aradia's personalities play off each other well and growing up together gives them a bedrock solid understanding of how to navigate each other's virtues, quirks, and flaws.
