    Summary

    November 20th, 2010. Simone Abara wakes up in the middle of the night to a creature of violence and wilderness and profound confusion puppeteering her wife's body. Caught completely off guard, she calls the only person who might know how to help: the woman whose name Taissa mumbles during her nightmares, whose phone number and address she tracks religiously and keeps in a long list of people, locked away inside a safe. Her wife's first love-Vanessa Palmer.

    Summary

    Tai shouldn't have been surprised when the droning lecture coaxed her temple against a cool plastered wall and the classroom around her blurred.

    But she was surprised. Because when her mind flicked back on and her gaze refocused, she was outside.

    And it was nighttime. And there was a dial phone in her ear and a glass box on all sides, and the stale air of the lecture hall had turned humid, heady—suffocating.

    "Who is this?" The receiver tickled Tai's jaw as a voice broke through, and she flinched violently, stumbling back against the booth and letting the phone fall from her grip. It banged around the space before swinging sadly on its cord.

    // OR: The one where Other Tai copes with the Tai/Van breakup by boarding a Greyhound and taking Tai to South Jersey, where Lottie Matthews is -thunderclap- living between hospital stays.

    Summary

    An exploration into Van's gender journey, told from the usual AND and unusual perspective

    -“Do you wanna be a boy?” Nat doesn’t really understand but it seems to be really important to Van, and if it’s important to Van, it’s important to Nat.
    "No! I just… I hate people look at me and see ‘girl’. I just want people to see me, y’know?”
