Nurtured By Nature

Fate is often a harsh and cruel mistress, dashing lives, destroying hopes, and leaving those in its wake unable to do more than gather up the pieces. One is cast adrift to a sea of change, in the wake of one's crushing failure, without warning or quarter, and oft expect to perish. But sometimes, Fate can be kind, and every once in a while, Fate will throw the dog a bone. AU
