Fics like Sublunary Lovers

"That sister of yours," Papa said, his knife flashing, "flies through life on swift wings, much as her mother does. While you, my mouse, are my child through and through; we neither of us choose to leave the solid earth under our feet." Elinor knew herself to be most closely aligned with Papa, but had not framed the differences between her parents — or between herself and Marianne — as such a stark dichotomy. "And Margaret?" she asked, curious about how her youngest sister was viewed. Papa chortled as he set the first pencil down, the point fine and sharp, the smell of shaved wood spicing the air. "Margaret would swim the oceans with a knife in her teeth if she could," he said, and Elinor could not help laughing too. "Today the Channel, tomorrow the Atlantic."
