She might be a little older than she looks, but she can't be twenty-one. Her build suggests later childhood, early puberty perhaps. She doesn't watch the cups as she moves them, which bothered him until he realized she was blind.

"No thanks," he says, adjusting his collar.

Excerpt: Tina is lying on the floor of the restaurant kitchen, and this time it might be serious. (Well, as much as the Belchers ever are, anyway.) "Is this about a boy?" Bob asked. He wasn't very good at guessing games. He and Linda had applied to be on couple's Jeopardy once but they hadn't made it to the third round of auditions. Plus, he was never quite sure about Tina nowadays, ever since this nebulous puberty thing had started. He wished Linda were here, but she had taken Gene to buy shoes.

Title: she is your mirror
Fandom: Frozen
Length: 1015 words
Prompt: Not Prime Time: I'd really like to see post-canon fic of Elsa as Queen. How does she deal with any lingering fear or prejudice? What is the adjustment from spending most of her time in her room to having to understand her subjects' lives and needs like? How does she handle the temptation to solve everything using her powers, and what does she do when she can't? for MiraMira
Pairing: Anna and Elsa gen
Other: Also at the AO3.

Excerpt: Elsa is still trying to adjust to her new life. Anna had laughed at Elsa when she caught Elsa touching things in the castle - brushing the suits of armor, teasing a finger through the cook's flour. She hadn't laughed too hard, though. Elsa tried to explain how novel it was that she could touch things without hurting them any longer, and Anna reddened and scuffed her foot and eventually made an excuse to go away.
