    Summary

    'Before you,' he said, 'you can see more women than warriors. Cowardly, unarmed, they will give up the moment they see the weapons and bravery of their conquerors who have given them such a drubbing so many times before.' (Tacitus, Annals XIV.36)

    The first time Clarke sees the Head Girl she’s sitting on a throne, presiding over her dominion with a piercing stare and a crown of braids in her hair. Her warriors are spread at her feet, a multitude of them, all long-haired and wild and clad in identical brown regalia. There’s something of the sacred about her, like the crimson cloak draped across her shoulders and her divinity are one and the same.

    Or at least it feels that way.

    British girls' boarding school AU. Obviously.

    Summary

    It hurts: being able to see. Rachel hadn’t thought it would hurt. If you’d told her, she wouldn’t have believed it.

    Then again – there are plenty of things she wouldn’t have believed. In one fell swoop she’s been given an eye (of sorts), a daughter (of sorts), and a mother – well. She’s so lucky, isn’t she.

    (Or: what I want for Rachel, Susan, and Charlotte in Season 4.)
