Summary
The natural blending of civilian and cape identities had to account for violence, for conflict, and for a careful pruning of external forces and influences. Ashley was very good at pruning, and very easy to prune now that I was close enough.
That was without getting into the various degrees of non-platonic subtext.
Everyone can see it.

Summary
...
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.- Maggie Smith, Good Bones
Everything is completely fine at Number 12 Barnslow Drive.

Summary
"[Rose] had been propped up in a sitting position in her bed, leaning against an arrangement of pillows. She was dressed in an old fashioned nightgown that extended to her broomstick-thin wrists, her hair tied back in a tight bun. Her eyes were sharp as they studied me, and her hands were steady as they raised a teacup to her lips... Her cat, maybe the largest housecat I’d ever seen, gray and well groomed, lay with its head in her lap."

AKA the Rose Senior Familiar origin story we never got in canon.

There are no wolves left in Ireland by CatSteppingOnAKeyboard

Summary
Orla raises her hand higher. “I’ve been possessed.”
Erin rolls her eyes. “No, she hasn’t, Sister Michael. Orla was iron deficient last year- she got a swimmy feeling in her head every time she stood up and she thought that was demons.”
“It was demons.” says Orla, evenly.
“Oh, and iron tablets made the demons go away, did they?”
Her cousin shrugs and thumbs the side of her nose. “Well, I felt better after I took ‘em, didn’t I?”
Another Derry, another time, same old Pennywise. Armed with friendship, faith, an encyclopaedic knowledge of Catholic heresy and a pitchfork one of them got out of the garden shed, the Derry girls do battle with a clown who really should have known better than to try this shit in Northern Ireland.
