    Did I really say Beautiful Lifetime Event, a minute ago? What a rotten narrator. Jerking you around. It's really not what she was.

    The OFC narrator in this is smart and self-aware and I love her. I would read books about her post-fic adventures, because I have every confidence that she is busy being amazing. Which is a tribute to Stultiloquentia; this is one of those fics which is a great example of why and how fanworks are transformative and critical of their source texts and valuable — this confronts some of the creepy elements from Butler's original and engages with them without didacticism. It does require canon familiarity, though.

    ETA: Upon re-reading Fledgling, I realized this is not an OFC, strictly speaking, it is a offscreen canon-alluded character, which is doubly fabulous, tying this even more tightly to OEB!

    Perfectly pitched, and a necessary perspective on Butler's world.
