Author’s Note yeah this could be so much longer and could have spanned two issues of the manga or a handful of anime eppies if I let it. Thanks to the handful of people who chimed in with the episode number. I appreciate it. Thanks to evil_little_dog for the beta and this was written for fma_fic_contest’s ‘set in a specific chapter/episode’ prompt. I won fourth lalikaa made the lovely banner.

Disclaimer so not mine, all rights belong to Atsushi Okubo
Rating PG-13
Characters/Pairing Kami/Spirit
Timeline/Spoilers set during the time Maka’s parents would have been Meister and Weapon together, spoilers for how things end up between them, which really is in chapter one so…
Word Count 7,104
Warning none really, some strong language toward the end but nothing worse than what’s in the manga.
Summary Kami’s path was a difficult one, with many twists and turns she never expected.
prompt ‘Something with Maka's mother and her relationship with Spirit.’
Author’s Note This was written for se_ladyfest. I had three really fun sounding prompts and naturally I chose the most difficult one to write probably because it was the most difficult. All we really know about Kami is what others have said about her. I’m also aware that there is a debate about whether or not Kami is actually her name or a title but I needed to call her something. I hope you enjoy. It was interesting speculating on all of this. I made her a year older than Spirit and gave her a little back story that aren’t in the series because well, I was wondering how she ended up with him as a meister and where her original weapon went, provided she had one.

Author’s Note 2 - Hopefully I didn’t bend the time line too much. One fan write up has Kami never being a teacher. I don’t remember that being specifically stated in canon (if I’m wrong, let me know) so I have her doing that for a while when her daughter is young. Also, this takes place over nearly two decades of Kami’s life. Thanks to bob_fishfor the lightning fast edit. And one scene was based on this picture

It's Party Time

grades are in. I am done til January (If you ignore having to make a website, revamp an entire lecture series and come up with two syllabi for proposed classes and two syllabi for actual classes, and working on my tenure portfolio). Ah teaching. We get paid shit but we do have time off.

I did have to go out in the snow (it wasn't that bad here) to go get that lecture series since I managed to forget it twice only to find out it was on my old flash drive after all...

other than that I've pissed away the whole day. I've been in a lot of pain. My right thigh has been itching for days.I thought hmmm phlebtitis but it's not red. Today it's been like it's been on fire so I thought hmmm it's right in the pinched nerve area. Then I watched Dr. G medical examiner and saw someone with my symptoms who died of them via vasculitis (I develop leukoclastic vasculitis a lot especially when I'm stressed like now. It's autoimmune). So now I'm paranoid.

But I did get a really cool early holiday gift. THANK YOU rain_oubliette. I love it.

( Day 74, see the gift )
