    Summary

    Natalie wakes up hungover in Jackie Taylor’s bathtub.
    Again.
    And again.
    And again.
    Either Frank’s acid has become spectacularly good since she tried it last, or Nat has completely lost her fucking mind.

    OR

    It’s Friday, August 2nd, 1996: the summer after graduation is nearing an end, the Yellowjackets are in splinters, and Nat will never have another day if she can’t fix the one she’s already lived a hundred times.

    Summary

    Nat is twenty one and she is tired. Sober for over a year, working the same four shifts (Thursday through Sunday, 4-8pm) at the same dingy used bookstore as a weird mutualistic favor to her mom’s friend’s aunt. Drowning in pity, left knee aching in the mornings, kept alive by the good grace of a Keurig and the crotchety shop cat’s need for semi-regular mealtimes, Nat is in no shape to rescue anyone.

    A stranger with dark hair and darker eyes, rambling about queens and goddesses, doesn’t fit well in her nonexistent plans.

    Summary

    Natalie's life has been a rollercoaster of extreme lows and incredible highs. She makes meaningful friendships that run so deep in her she can't just throw them away. Not even after what Jackie said that one winter. Or when Natalie pulled the trigger that night and tried to push them all away. She's never known a sense of peace and yet, it's all she feels when she's around Lottie Matthews.

    Lottie Matthews life has been one of loneliness. Absent parents, voices only she can hear, and no meaningful connections. Her mind seems to be her enemy most days and she knows it'll never give her peace. So why does Natalie Scatorccio call her mind beautiful and says she can't sleep at night unless it's with Lottie?
