Today's drabble is for
There are enough women in Kampilya who love children—seven of her sisters-in-law, three of Drupada’s wives—that Uma goes days on end without seeing Krishnaa’s woebegone brood, and even when she meets them, need only be distantly gracious.
She is glad of it, and gladder yet once a year rolls past and takes with it the greatest burden of grief. Kampilya resounds with the voices of children, the Upapandavas dragged into joy by their cousins.
It is a blessing of her marriage that it has brought Uma no children. She sees no need to take on the burden unasked.

And now I'm all caught up with the recs and drabbles. Spent about a week withbee_muse and fell behind to about the same extent, though I did get about half my current chapter written, and an inordinate amount of cuddling. I miss her to pieces.
