Shut up! (Kiss me?)
SUMMARY Jackie squints at her. "None of your business.” Her nose twitches. Catch.

"Is it? Did Sadecki say something mean again? Is he not coming to the Easter brunch to flatter your mom?"

Tai relishes in how that gets Jackie gaping at her.

"What the fuck," she starts, pointing first from her spot on the floor and then scrambling to her feet while clinging to the sink to keep herself from slipping on the tile, "gives you the right to say that!"

They're level again now. Taissa likes that much better. An equal opponent is more fun to take down. She leans back against the door as she takes a swig of beer.

"Isn't it the truth? You said too much, he didn't want to hear it. It's how that always goes, right? At least if I have to believe Shauna."" She smirks at Jackie's quickly reddening face.

"Don't you bring her into this." Jackie stomps one foot for emphasis. "You're just a jealous loser, Taissa Turner!"

or

Taissa needs to get away from a certain someone in the crowd, and finds something worse (or better)

Stay (I Missed You)
SUMMARY Jackie exhales with what she fears is the lead-in to another series of arguments, but instead, she nods. "Okay…" And doesn't attempt to move out of Shauna's embrace.

"You're not going to die. Not for a long time, I bet."

"Wow, you're so optimistic."

"I mean it. Wanna bet?"

"… Sure. But if I'm dead in the morning, I'll so haunt you."

"Permission granted."

So Shauna waits while her arm grows a little sore under the weight before she moves it. They don't say much after, not even in sleep. It may be hours before she turns off the lamp again, once Jackie's breaths have evened out against her neck.

or

It's Jackie and Shauna. It always has been Jackie and Shauna, and to some it always will be. Forever linked by a pinkie promise in the first grade and never letting go. Till death do part, and a little beyond.

A Ghost is a Promise
SUMMARY It's nothing. That's what Jeff tells her on the car ride back home. It's what she says to herself in the bathroom mirror, careful not to look too closely at anything that might be moving in the background. It earned Lottie a one-way trip to Switzerland, after all.

"It's nothing," even her mom says to her over a cup of tea. Callie sits gleefully on her knee, just barely able to reach the teaspoon on the table with her tiny hands. "Marilyn was having a hard time with it, though she'd never tell you the full truth of it. I know how I was, when my own birthday came around and I was waiting for the breakfast in bed, still. Your dad even called to check in." She tucks Callie's soft hairs out of her face while Shauna takes a quiet sip.

"It was hard for her, for me, for everyone. The whole town felt it, so it was really a matter of time before the kids would make up stories. Some of it was about what would be going on out there, or a secret rescue and how every transfer student could really be one of you in disguise. Ghost stories were a natural step further."

or

Shauna listens, walks, and has a chat.

Same As It Ever Was
SUMMARY "If it gets too heavy, if they don't find shelter, they could die out there."

It's too loud in the dark room. The silence that meets Shauna has her longing for a night light to make sure that she's not in some endless abyss. There's the bright crack on the windowpane that forms the only thing to hold on to, since Jackie doesn't offer her any comfort with softly-spoken words or a hand to hold. Maybe that was to be expected. The insinuation was there. Briefly, Shauna's thoughts entertain themselves by trying to remember if there is such a thing as murder through negligence, and if she could live with that knowledge. When she dwells upon uncomfortable ideas of her future, she resigns herself to sleep.

And dreams of summer.

The story of winter, from the first snow to the first bloom, in which some things change and some stay the same.

Dance This Mess Around
SUMMARY "Shipman!"

Shauna turns around to look a surprised Taissa in the face.

"Shauna Shipman!"

Further behind Taissa's head, a pair of arms wave frantically in the air. Shauna catches the white-blond of Nat again, and smiles back with an arm rising to show that she's noticed her. But Nat bumps someone next to her and points in Shauna's direction, and soon after Shauna can feel the blood stop in her veins.

or

Shauna and Jackie haven't spoken in over three years, but the twilight of the milennium and one Natalie Scatorccio hellbent on having Jackie keep her promises might change that.

A Ghost is a Wish
SUMMARY The light from the lampposts bounces on the snow and lights the Wiskayok high school up like it's a set for a movie. Fitting, given how nervous Callie feels about going near it. She's regretting not texting Ilana earlier and getting her involved. As much as she was into all this ghostly bullshit, Ilana had the ability to make everything seem way less heavy. It wouldn't have changed anything, though.

A ghost is a ghost.

O Nyghtegale
SUMMARY "For your crimes against this realm, and your failing as a member of my council, you ought to be banished with no hope of return."

The crown weighs heavy from the antlers that sprout from it, but the Queen carries it without showing any sign of weakness. Her eyes look down at you, hard but not without sympathy.

"You are to leave the city gates by this evening. No soul is to address you by your true name, Butcher. Wander the land and either hope to find a place that will bend itself to your will, or seek the key to absolving your crimes and return to life as you knew it."

You see the glimmer of a smile play on her lips. This should be good.

"Bring me the fey princess, dead, and I will offer you forgiveness.""

Who's That Knocking At My Window?
SUMMARY She no longer looks frozen, but her skin is still so unnervingly pale. When Jackie lifts her head to look back at Shauna, her eyes flicker for a second when the light catches onto them. But most obvious, and worst of all, is the blood around her mouth. Red going down her chin and stuck on her bared teeth as Jackie pants like she's a goddamn cornered animal.

"Jackie?" Shauna tries again, voice shaking. She leaves the knife on the floor and sits on her knees to reach out a hand. Shauna doesn't care that she might get hurt because (Jackie it's Jackie it's really Jackie).

or

Jackie returns to Shauna, a little bit wrong.
