Fics like whatever can be held in your heart is surely yours to grasp

Mother looked so human, then. The look in her eyes, and the downwards tilt of her mouth, and the silent, greedy breaths she took. A heart broken, but still beating. When you’re a kid, you take aliveness for granted. You’re eight years old and your parents will never die or leave or hurt you, and you will be young forever. It will always be a summer’s day and your mother’s arms will always hold the whole world and the stardust between your fingers will never slip away. Jim is young. Too young. But there’s no forever about the woman sitting in the kitchen, and there are no tears left in him. There’s an empty space that’s been ripped open, and the gravity has tilted. He’s young. But he’s old enough to know that things like that never really matter. Or, Jim Hawkins grows up, older, and maybe a little bit wiser.
