Ficlet: "Lorn"
Story #11 for the Passchendaele ficlet cycle (more information here), run in concurrence with ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
femslashficlets Janelle Monáe lyrics prompt table challenge.
Title: Lorn
Fandom: Original Work
Pairing: Emma Walsh Thompson/Maisie Thompson Adams
Rating: Mature
Prompt: "Crown on my head but the world on my shoulder"
Word Count: 1000
Tags: Death, Parental Death, grief and mourning, Jealousy, Times of trouble do not bring out the best in some people, Mothers and Daughters, Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, Grown-up temper tantrums, Imperfect comfort, That awkward moment when you're secretly fucking your brother's wife, and you both have to go hang out with your mother
Summary:
I would be very, very sad that this is the final Emma/Maisie story in this cycle if I hadn't added to the main novel a whole other narrative thread in which Emma is the main character. EVEN SO I am a little bit sad!
In other news I kind of wish I'd made all the stories in this cycle a perfect 1000 words; it would be more satisfying than having four that are slightly less.

Summary:
Outside Antigonish, Nova Scotia: June, 1916.
She must only keep hold on herself through the train ride, she thought; and the carriage ride. The train ride; the carriage ride; and then, as she'd done when a child, she might fly to her Mama and be enfolded.
