Author's Notes: “A nice old brier with a good long stem of what the tobacconists call amber. I wonder how many real amber mouthpieces there are in London? Some people think that a fly in it is a sign.”


London Tobacconist’s, 1885

“There’s a huge fly in this amber!” declared Miss Brown, directing Mr. Montague’s attention to the stem. “Just think: it lived all those years ago…”


Millions of years earlier

“Do you ever wonder about immortality?” asked Little Fly. “Being remembered after you’re gone?”

“That’d be nice,” said Big Fly. “But I think it’s just a pipe dream.”

At least Big Fly's hopes didn't go up in smoke.

I'd groan but I'm too busy giggling.

Groaning and giggling are both perfectly acceptable reactions to my work ^__^

Brilliant change of POV! (Speaking as a woman who's done at least one LION story from the POV of the jellyfish.)

Thank you so much ^^ (And you really do belong in our little community ^__^ Though very little strikes me as being odd any more - I've known thesmallhobbit too long ^_^)

Absolutely delighted for Big Fly:-)
Oh...longest flashback gap I have come across in a fic, btw:-p

It is an impressive flashback, isn't it? :P

I probably shouldn't have read this while drinking coffee...

I've lost an awful lot of readers that way... *shakes head sadly*
