shayeraAuthor Website: AO3Why this must be read: I am forever fascinated not by The Signless and The Dolorosa's future stories, but by The Dolorosa's past decision to break from the troll norm and care for a grub on her own, damn be the consequences. This is the perfect, heartwarming story about that decision and how she adjusts to life as a 'lusus' (aka, troll mom, hee!). It perfectly plays out a typical child/parent relationship but also throws in how foreign of a concept that is to an alien species that is not in charge of caring for its' young.
