I've read a lot of fic. I adored this fic before you got to this part. I did. I adored it so much I was trying to read the whole thing a few times to come up with a suitable bit of feedback to express how much I loved so much of what you did.

But this?

This was flat out brilliant.

This is the kind of female character that the show itself cannot handle. You've crammed foreshadowing of so much of what's to come later in here, but it doesn't come off as foreshadowing--more, well, more that these are young-enough versions of those later people that these versions don't realize how much they are giving away, which is so incredibly true of high school-aged teenagers.

Loved it.
