    Summary

    Your father had told you stories of the famous club, The 141, when you were a child; you remember the admiration— and *jealousy*— that laced his voice as he weaved tales of smoky backroom poker games and men who’d skin you alive for looking at them wrong.

    You hadn’t believed him then, assuming it to be like all the other fairytales and war stories he told from that worn leather armchair— exaggerated tales meant to teach you lessons he himself never followed.

    Now that you’re here, though…

    You’d expected better security.

    Summary

    A reimagining of Eddie's '86 senior year that ends with him walking the graduation stage, flipping the bird, and getting the hell out of there. With the girl he loves.
    After a chance encounter at a party, Eddie meets Star. At the party, she's oddly charming and mysterious. She's also drunk. The problem is, she's an unreadable brick wall when she's sober. Despite her hesitation to letting men in her life, they become best friends. Will Eddie's attentive persistence help him break down the walls she's put up to protect herself from not getting hurt? Will Star learn she can be in love and be loved in return? Will her spiritual guidance help her see that Eddie really is the one for her? A story of strangers to best friends to lovers with a splash of witchiness and a lot of trauma healing.
