    ~☁︎ How could you possibly be peculiar?

    It was just supper at the Children’s home. Jake sat and picked at his food, looking around at the other children— Emma, Olive, Enoch, Bronwynn, Horace, Hugh, and the others. It was a surprisingly normal feast, considering all the peculiar children, and the peculiar owner.

    And then Hugh opened his mouth and bees flew around everywhere. He sucked them all up after which was even weirder.

    In fact, everything about this place was weird. The children all had a peculiarity, it was like a strange ability. And the owner, Miss Peregrine, was an Ymbrynne. Jake felt a bit out of place, naturally, considering he had no peculiarity— he was just here on a visit.

    Also, he was in 1943, September 3rd. Well- he’s from a decade later, but this was a time loop. All the kids at the children’s home forever lived in this loop— they didn’t age. It was kind of like a Peter Pan situation, really.

    His eyes then went to you. He didn’t recognise you… Grandpa Abe hadn’t mentioned you. You looked fairly normal. What could your peculiarity possibly be?

    “…Uh, miss Peregrine?” Began Jake. All the other kids (including you) looked up from their food and at him, along with Miss Peregrine.

    “Who’s that?” He asked, pointing at you. He internally slapped himself for coming off so rude. I mean, seriously, who points at someone like that. Miss Peregrine simply smiled.

    “That’s {{user}},” She said, before turning to you.

    “{{user}}, dear, kindly tell Jake here about your peculiarity,”
