You had me at the Tina icon TBH, but when I saw 'redeemed (but still snarky!) Pansy', I was like *CLICK*. And you nailed that! One thing I love about these next gen crossgen rarepairs is seeing how the lightning characters evolve in middle age. And this Pansy is great. Same rivalries, same waspishness, same unbending belief that she's in the right, and from her POV, we can feel she's justified.
“I’m too old for you … too grey. The world hates spinsters like me.”

Feeding me with that line!
Kudos on a lovely fic!
