SUMMARY: Jade English never expected to have children, let alone grandchildren. She has her company, her allies, and her fight against Crockercorp to fill the void left when her brother refused to run away with her. Then she rescues a baby from a meteor crater and finds herself rearranging her life.
EXCERPT: Dave makes a rude noise. “Who cares about that predestination stuff. If you didn’t want him, I’d say screw the future. Keeping a kid for duty or money or because you think it makes you look pious and shit? Fuck that noise. Kids know when they’re not wanted.”
Dave knows that from experience, Jade reflects. So does Rose. So does she. (So did John, she assumes, even if he’s buried that knowledge. He’s certainly worked to be a model father to his own son. She hopes the meteor child who kills her brother will find a loving home with her nephew despite their continuing entanglement with Crockercorp.)

SUMMARY: Jade English, leaving home.
EXCERPT: There she slept for several hours. The light had turned pinkish by the time she woke up, although the sky still arced pale overhead; and the shadows of the trees lay long on the water, coloring its facets deeply green. Nowhere did she see any sign of the beast.
“All right,” she said to no one, wringing out her shirt-tails. “Fine. I see how it is.” She set her mouth.
Getting back into the house was harrowing but not hard. She saw her stepmother coming out the back door, and stood pressed against the westward wall until the other woman had made her way to the waiting driver by the north gate. At the car, the baroness paused, the fins of her flat jaw flaring behind the artful curls that framed her face. Jade saw her sniff, a little, her snub nose raised, and the pink nostrils deep. But the wind didn’t betray her, and after another moment her stepmother stepped in.
The car drove off. Jade looked up and saw John at the window. He raised his eyebrows, once, then turned away, his hand trailing the imprint of his glance on the thick glass.
Inside she picked a rifle from the Colonel’s untouched room and loaded it with six rounds of shot. She spat a little blood into the sink, and rubbed her brittle hair with a soft cloth, and went back to the beach with her hands trembling a little under the weight of arms.

When Jade lifts her hand in greeting and crosses the small room, Rose's heart bangs in her throat. She maintains her apparent calm, thinking of all the people who have done this before her, all the dangers they faced, all the desperate causes they died for.
Jade passes Rose's table without slowing. The sound of her voice, boisterous in greeting someone else, is abruptly cut off when the door swings shut behind her.
La Marseillaise (WARNING: Deliciously NSFW) is my newest Rose/Jade fic obsession. I wanna draw almost every moment from this fic (and will probably try.)
