In 1983, geneticist Mary-Claire King (left) explains to Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo [Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo] Nélida Gómez de Navajas (middle) and Estela de Carlotto (right) the technique that will be used to identify their grandchildren stolen during the last civic-military dictatorship of Argentina (1974/6-1983) and prove their kinship in court, el Índice de Abuelidad [the Grandparentage Index]. It's estimated that between 400 and 500 children were taken throughout this time.
Estela was able to hug her grandson, Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, nieto #114 [grandchild #114], in 2014.
Nélida died in 2012 and did not get to meet her grandchild. It was announced two days ago, 28 July 2023, that his identity has been restored. 11 years after she died, 40 years after this photo was taken, and 46 years after his birth to a illegally detained and still disappeared mother, Cristina Navajas, he's been found. His father and brothers are here for him. It is still a victory.
Welcome to the truth, nieto #133, y abrazo al cielo Nélida.
Venceremos.

Here is a little snippet of my contribution
"Do you want me to rescue you from that evil villain, sweetie?" she asked without moving from her spot, mesmerized by how adorable and terribly sexy he looked.
Remy swiveled the chair around and looked at her with a disdainful gesture.
", I've been looking up info on Gariga for hours and all you've done is look sexy in that robe," he punctuated with a mischievous grin.
Also, the fic will feature the wonderful illustrations of Koryndr

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Florence Welch reads Wild Geese by Mary Oliver for The Birdsong Project, 2022.
