Summary
"Stop it," Thalia whispers to herself. "If it was something bad, he wouldn't have told you he's okay. Calm down."
(She doesn't quite believe herself. Jason's not exactly the type to let on when something's wrong; telling her not to worry is almost reflexive for him, at this point.)

Summary
"I'll second-guess myself if I'm trying to look sexy without focusing it on someone. I also don't want to give Leo a stroke by eyefucking the camera, so I'm going to eyefuck you instead."

"So I threw [her] out, because otherwise I would have taken the cod out of the freezer and fish-slapped her with it." by Pythia (melancholic_pigeon)

Summary
"Since I'm me, DW always has at least one very loud voice around to tell her 'no, this is a hot pile of garbage', but I admitted my lack of impartiality before I even started this story for a reason. Ex is many things, but she's not cagey or dishonest or afraid to call it like she sees it. She cuts straight to the heart of the issue, and sometimes you need that.
Especially if you're like DW, and you've spent your whole existence carving away every unique part of yourself so you'll fit in someone else's cage and now you can't quite believe anyone thinks you're too beautiful not to be free.
I guess it was a smart choice regardless, since Ex is the one who came up with our revenge plot a few days after our chat."

Summary
"I honestly never thought it possible that I could feel cute and pretty with short hair. That's part of why I was upset. When my head hurts like that, wearing a wig is asking to end up in the hospital with an intractable migraine, and my face is so angular that without long hair to soften it, the image can be really jarring.
Somehow, he pulled it off. I had no idea he knew how to contour, but I looked...soft. Feminine. I felt like a queen."

Summary
"My friend, let's call him "Haley", is one of those guys whose smile lights up a room with the force of a thousand suns. He's charming, funny, clever, outgoing, bold, and brilliantly talented in multiple fields. His eyes are like gemstones (though I won't say which ones, sorry). He's daring, devoted, tender-hearted and passionate.
More than anything else, he's kind. That's why I fell in love with him. I was initially attracted to him because of his voice (I'll get to that too), but it was watching him stand up for someone that made Cupid go for the kill shot.
(That's another story for another subreddit, and it isn't mine to tell anyway.)"
