Why I Rec This Fic: One cool thing about fanfiction is seeing stories that are seldom shown in Mainstream. Here Kitty celebrates Tu BiShvat | The 15th of Shevat. Lovely bit of character exploration.

Why I Rec This Fic: Angel deserves her story being told, and I like the writing style here.
She was born with the marks, otherwise her stepfather would have had words with her mother about her harlot daughter getting tattooed. Angel only learned the trick of calling out her wings a few years ago, when a neighbor's dog leapt its too-small fence and started chasing her. Even on the run, frightened tears streaming down her face, Angel had marveled at the feeling of flight.
Her wings won't take her all the way to LA before there are people awake to spot the girl built like a dragonfly, but they can get her far enough to hitch a ride the rest of the way.
Angel doesn't leave a note for her mother, doesn't look back as she leaps into the air. What would she say? I love you. Don't come looking for me. Try to stay alive.
