Summary: It takes a village to raise a child. But no one said the village would raise them well. A series of character vignettes.
Comments: A lot of so-called deep character vignettes just bore me. But these were just beautifully, beautifully written, and managed to make me think about the characters. Lee’s was just… God, I love Lee so much. And that’s one of the best vignettes I’ve seen for him. Most the others were pretty good - I liked them all. But Lee’s just stood out to me.
One-shot series of vignettes? That makes no sense whatsoever. One-shot, complete.
