    Summary

    It’s not a secret that Blake’s read too many romance novels.

    You’ll give yourself brain rot, Weiss used to say, wrinkling her nose in distaste if she walked into the dorm to find Blake sprawled out reading in a sunbeam. I’m immune, Blake would counter with a lazy shrug, not missing a beat.

    It’s possible she overestimated herself. But it’s not—it’s not brain rot to have robust expectations, or a high standard or two. Is it really so bad, to want to give Yang a first time that’s novel-worthy? Privacy and an actual mattress feels like the least they should aim for.

    Even now, past the end of the world.

    [Or: bees, from first kiss to first time.]

    Summary

    Life was a kaleidoscope of muted grays, blacks and whites. The concept of color didn’t belong to everyone, and it certainly didn’t belong to Blake - unless she found and locked eyes with her soulmate.

    But her past, ever haunting her, caused the girl to keep her head down and avoid making eye contact with any strangers she came across. She didn’t want to find her soulmate.

    Well, it was more like she didn’t believe she was worthy of one.

    Blake accepted that her world would remain forever gray. It was what she deserved, after all.

    That was, until she met an oddly captivating girl that would open her eyes to new possibilities.

    Summary

    Noelle Holiday is entering her final year of High School. It's been four years since her sister's death. She's on her way to the fanciest college her parents can get her into, to get a degree in...something. Her father's in the hospital. She can't stop letting people talk over her. And finally, Noelle is hopelessly in love with another girl, and it's only a matter of time until her mother finds out.

    Susie Sauria is entering her final year of High School. Susie knows that she's never going to be able to make anything of her life. She has one (1) friend, and is reasonably sure they'd ditch her if given the chance. She's teetering on the poverty line. Her father's a jackass. She wants to move out, but that would require her to have a place to go afterwards. And finally, Susie is stuck getting tutored by the smartest girl in her class, and it's only a matter of time until that too falls apart.

    At the moment, they couldn't be more different. But through heartache and hardship, they'll find themselves inexorably drawn together. A lot can happen in one school year, and this is one that they're sure to never forget.

    No Dark World Coming of Age Story. Content Warnings posted per chapter.
