Summary
"Everybody says witchers steal kids. Are you going to steal me?”
The witcher looked over, smiling slightly. “Do you want me to?”“You lied to us, Peta,” he said. “We don’t recruit girls to be witchers.”
Peta felt her face get hot. She looked down at her shoes -- good leather shoes, hand-me-downs from someone but still whole. She curled her fingers and felt the new calluses starting to grow from sword training. Then she looked Vesemir right in the eye and said, “I’m not leaving. I like it here. I want to stay. Besides, I never lied you just... assumed, and I didn't say anything.”“I want to be a witcher,” Peta said. “I don’t care if it hurts.”
Vesemir made a sound like a growl in the back of his throat. “Peta,” he said. “You can’t be a witcher. You won’t survive the Changes. And I am not going to let you kill yourself in my fortress.”
“Vesemir, please,” Peta begged. “You don’t know for sure--”Series

Summary
(With apologies to Pirates Of Penzance. Many, many apologies.)
Yesterday was Poets' Day. I am no a poet. I was most definitely not born under a rhyming planet. But with a bit of plagiarism and doggerel, I've cobbled this together. So now I'm inflicting it on you all. Be warned!
Oh, and another warning: once you get the tune in your head, it STAYS.

Crowley as government negotiator.
Anathema and Madam Tracy as Azira's meddling best friends .
Gabriel as selfish and stupid leader of local government.
R. P. Tyler as neighbourhood watch and interfering gossiper.
