➜ yuletide fic, for A Little Princess

➜ Becky's pov on the day after all the climactic reveals, when she gets to leave Miss Minchin's and go join Sara next door

➜ this does such a good job of capturing the tone of the book, the magic and wonder and the depths of emotions, and the kind of relationship Sara and Becky have

➜ these two young edwardian-era girls doing their best to navigate what they can be to each other within the bounds of societal understandings of power differentials, and their own internalized senses of such things.....I'm so emotions!!

“Your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes that is the best help of all.”

- Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess ⭐ ❄️ 🎄
