Title: Edges
Rating: G
Summary: Yvonne prepares for a night out.
Warnings: Yvonne's particular brand of emotional abuse.
Notes: An attempt at portraying an epiphany through someone else's POV. And SWL, there is an entirely possible injoke here that is JUST FOR YOU.


"You said," Olivia said, appearing in the mirror, "that Daddy—that Hugh Marhenke isn't my father."

"He's not," Yvonne said, applying mascara. Why Olivia chose now to bring this up... "Your real father is a god, though."

Olivia lowered her eyes. Did nothing please that girl? "What god?"

Yvonne shrugged, and picked up her blush. "His name was Boreas. He was very good to me, but he won't care much about you."

"No," Olivia said, "I don't suppose he would," and disappeared.

Little fool. Yvonne rolled her eyes, then forgot her daughter.

She had more important things to think about.
