    Summary

    Peter Spankoffski was born laughing.

    If you ask anyone with a medical degree they’d tell you no he fucking wasn’t. Newborns don’t laugh, they can’t. They don’t even smile until a couple weeks out, and laughing is a multi-month project. It’s a developmental stage, you start with socialization, and eventually they start cooing, and then, only then, do you get laughter.

    And yet, Peter Spankoffski was born laughing.

    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    Bolstered at finding that she can in fact do good work in the care and keeping of a Joel, she decides to expand her bag of tricks.

    Unfortunately, there’s one area that she knows is most important in keeping Joel safe, in knowing that she can take care of him if she needs to.

    It just happens to be an area that sends her into panic attacks of her own.

    Medical care.

    (in jackson, ellie can't stop thinking about how joel almost died because she didn't know how to fix him) (she decides to take steps to make sure this never happens again) (even if it means living in her own personal hell)
