Summary
Her first shift back at the Wiskayok Blockbuster, and it was exactly as glamorous as she remembered. Musty carpet, faded movie posters, the faint scent of plastic and popcorn butter that somehow lingered despite there being no popcorn.
No one had come in yet. Not one person. But then again, it was 10 a.m. on a Monday in June. Even the die-hard renters weren’t desperate enough to be here this early.
Or
Van, Jackie and Nat on their first summer break from college.

Summary
Natalie Scatorccio never thought she’d be here.
She’s not even sure what here means — college? Out of Wiskayok? Still alive?The drive to Rutgers took three hours. Van shoved everything they owned into the car, popped in a tape, and hit the road without a second glance in the rearview.
Now Van? She’s not doing great. Taissa dumped her over the summer. She won’t say why — not yet — but Nat knows. Everyone knows. Tai wasn’t ready. Van’s still picking up the pieces, though she’d never admit it. But this? Rutgers? This is their reset button. A fresh start.
Well fresh-ish.
Because of course Jackie Taylor is here, too.Or
Basically Nat and Van being roommates in college.

Summary
Nat felt the breeze brush her face—cool and fleeting, a small mercy from the sun beating down on the turf. The heat was relentless, baking the field and everyone on it, but practice was almost over. Just a few more drills and she’d be free.
Free to ditch the cleats, ditch the fake smiles, and escape with Van—plans whispered during water break: rent something dumb, light up, maybe crash in Van’s basement if her mom didn’t notice. It was their ritual. Their way of pretending they had nowhere else to be.

Bits of Nat and Vans senior year, set before Previously on the Scarlet Knights.

Summary
Nat felt the cool breeze brush against her face, a quick reprieve from the heat pounding off the turf. The sun was relentless, baking the field and everyone on it, but practice was almost over. Just a few more drills and she’d be free.
Free to ditch the cleats, ditch the fake smiles, and head off with Van—plans already made in a low whisper during water break: rent something dumb, light up, maybe crash in Van’s basement if her mom didn’t notice. It was their ritual, their way of pretending they had nowhere else to be.

Just Van / Nat friendship moments. Haven't written before, felt bored.

Summary
In a victory no one saw coming, Taissa Turner is elected President of the United States.
Her win immediately ignites a culture war – not only did a Black woman become President, said Black woman is a divorced lesbian with no First Lady. The political right is furious.
Good thing she’s got Van Palmer, United States Secret Service, at her side.
(a sort of modern take on the Knight/Princess prompt.)

Summary
“Are you wearing sunscreen?”
Taissa is Van’s favorite kind of whirlwind. She smells like something earthy and sweet, lip gloss glistening. She doesn’t mind being swept up and spun around when it’s Tai’s hands, confident and kind. Van didn’t know that a touch could feel kind until she met Tai, who touches her like she’s strapping armor onto her before battle.
Van’s been watching too many movies lately.
“I was,” she says dumbly, distracted by the way Tai’s back flexes when she reaches for the door handle.
“I have some of that in the car too,” she replies, totally unaware of the way Van’s brain is practically melting out of her ears. Or maybe a little aware, because she sways her hips a little more than usual as they go out to her car, which nearly makes Van forget to lock the door behind her.
