Fate inspired me to write a fanfic about young Higgs🦋 (Patreon)

A small girl stood in the doorway. I hadn’t seen her here before, though it felt like I had studied every face in this anthill.

Delicate facial features, plump lips, and large blue eyes now blazing with anger. Her short hair fell in waves across her forehead, and she was wearing a work jumpsuit with a bunch of pockets and straps, making her look like some kind of futuristic figurine.

— Do you even realize what your little stunt could’ve caused? — she squeaked.

— Who the hell are you? — I shot back, narrowing my eyes. Adrenaline was still pumping in my head.

She flinched ever so slightly at my tone, but her gaze stayed ice-cold.

— My name is Fragile.

I froze on the spot. Then an involuntary laugh escaped me. “Well, deerling… and she’s the boss here?” I thought.

— you Fragile? Seriously? — I laughed again — I had pictured a stately fifty-year-old woman.

She furrowed her brows even more. My rudeness didn’t faze her — it was my idiocy that did.
