Word Count: 6k
Chapters: 1/1
Published: October, 24th, 2020
Della went to the moon and wondered how much of it was wanderlust and how much of it was her heart screaming terrified screams over the children she chose to bear but wasn’t ready to.
Donald broke his relationship with the man he thought of as a father and raised his nephews, mourning for a corpse that was still alive.
Scrooge shut himself off from the world. He built glass castles of routine and cold detachment and glue them all together with nothing but spit and spite.
Della comes back from the dead, and the glass castles shatter.
[Notes: I remember this one emotionally devastating me when I first read it. and it made me permanently associate Never Love an Anchor by The Crane Wives with Della Duck.]
