Why this must be read:
This is a beautiful, heartbreaking look at Molly Altman, Teddy's mother. We don't learn much about her in the comics, sadly, and this fic does a fantastic job at filling in the blanks.
The child opens its eyes and stares at her. His eyes are small and blue, and focused on her. He yawns.
Instinctively, the woman reaches out and brushes the child’s hair from his face. “Hello,” she whispers, tasting unfamiliar words on her tongue. “I am your mother.”
If she knew the Empress better, perhaps she would be able to decipher the expression on the other woman’s face. But she does not.
