Age is no limit: A Nine Year Old Climber, Ashima Shiraishi
Ashima Shiraishi and a few other talented kids at the bouldering Youth Nationals in Boulder, CO. Beautiful technique, seemingly effortless climbs! Watching these kids climb is a sheer joy (and makes one wish one had a climbing wall right here, right now. *g*)

Every Day is a Reminder by ishie (Calvin&Hobbes)
7297 words; PG; Calvin/Susie; Genre: Coming of Age/Romance/Humor
Summary: There's a certain fear that some children share as they grow up, that whatever they do will never be as good as what's come before. Among all the other things he will ever be, Calvin has never been one of those kids.

What I particularly like about this version of Calvin and Susie growning up together is how the author shows steps along the way, lots of little moments through the years, and takes her time telling the story. Love the style and the structure, the characterization, the original characters, everything.
