    Summary

    D'Vana Tendi is fifteen years old. She has already, secretly, decided to enroll in Starfleet in three years. In the meantime, she is reading the manuals.

    There are a lot of manuals.

    They are very, very strange.


    A character study spanning fifteen years, from an Orion teenager reading Navigating Multispecies Social Norms with increasing bewilderment, to a Starfleet officer on the USS Cerritos who has spent a decade learning to live in a one-tenth-bandwidth world — and who is beginning to understand, finally, why the bandwidth was ever restricted in the first place.

    Tendi can smell everything. This is not a superpower. It is not a disability. It is the condition of being Orion in a room full of people who can't, and who mostly don't know she can, and who built their entire social architecture to compensate for a sense they don't consciously possess.

    She loves them anyway. Possibly because of it.

    Summary

    And having just said all of that about Susan, upon having given the matter far too much thought, the real Problem of Susan, to my mind, had nothing to do with her family dying. It sucks a lot, but it happens and people can die without God Specifically Being Out To Get You. People cope with that and move on all the time, and we feel for them, but they do not get recorded as one of the Great Literary Injustices.

    No, what I started thinking was that I’m thirty-five. I love my life. I have work I care about and a man I am quite desperately in love with. And if I suddenly fell through a wardrobe and was eleven years old again, I would go so batshit insane that they would have to make up new words for how insane I had gone.

    I expect I might have a hard time playing nice with the god responsible.

    So, y’know. (I realize that half my short stories turn up as “Point of view of the woman in this otherwise well-known story” and beg forgiveness in advance.) This one may even qualify as fan-fic! I make you a gift of it, although if my plane goes down in the Atlantic, please remember me for Digger and the Little Red Riding Hood thing instead.

    I keep losing *this* one as well. The intro is taken from https://ursulav.livejournal.com/1510426.html , though the link is to the hopefully more stable Red Wombat Studio site.

    I keep losing this and needing to dig it up again. Narnia, Dr Who, Susan.
