Summary
Her mom’s on a bender in Jersey City, and she can’t bring herself to intrude on the Turners and their happiness. So she resigns herself to spending a quiet holiday watching Home Alone for the umpteenth time and trying not to feel achy about a mom who would do anything to come home to her kid.
She’s about to plop down in front of the TV and do just that when the phone rings.
"My parents are gone for Christmas,” Lottie says. “Want to hang out?"
—
December 1995. Lottie and Van spend the holidays together.

Summary
laura lee dies and she takes your heart with her.
she burns up quicker than you can process it. she burns up like a solar flare. (you always did compare her to the sun, but you meant it in terms of radiance, in terms of warmth. you didn't mean it like this.) instinctually, you stagger into the chilly waters of the lake, a scream tearing its way out of your throat. take me with you, you think, like you could make her hear you by sheer force of will alone, like you could follow her into the sky and the fire. you can't say it, though, you can't form any words at all. all you can do is scream and scream, until your throat is raw and red and someone has to come and pull you out of the water. (you can't remember who it is, later on. you also don't care, and you didn't back then, either. all you remember is you didn't want to go with whichever teammate was sent to fetch you, you didn't want to leave laura lee.)

"If you died, I'd just bring you back," Tai says, breezily. Like resurrection is the simplest thing in the world. Van laughs.
"Just like that?"
"Just like that."

Summary
In an attempt to change her clock back to 2021, an error message appeared instead.
And maybe Callie didn’t have her mother’s Ivy League-sized brain, but she could put it together. In the middle of the woods, her phone displaying it was 1996, of all possible years. It was quite the elaborate nightmare, she’d give her brain that one.
or
Callie finds herself in 1996, armed only with an unworkable iPhone and her vape pen.

Summary
“i think you can save us,” you say, muffled into her hair. “i think,” you say, “i think you’re the only one who can.” she stiffens a little in your arms, but doesn’t look up.
“baby,” she says, and she hasn’t called you that in a long, long time. “i already tried."

They’re on the banks of the lake, Lottie’s head in Laura Lee’s lap. Both of them lying on their backs, toes sprawled out into the steady lap of the freshwater.
(Or: Laura Lee's the only thing Lottie’s still sure of.)

‘we have like five fucking minutes to get out of here,’ and tai looks at you like you’re insane.
‘we’re going on the run?’ she says, twisting the words in her mouth like it’s something dirty.
‘no,’ you say, peering out of the window at the four police cars between you and your car. ‘you’re already there, babe.’

Summary
Her right eye was… different. Lighter. Not too much. But considerably lighter. In the wrong light, it was barely noticeable. In the right light, it was a jarring hazel color where deep brown should have been. She had memorized that exact shade countless years ago. She had been obsessed with it. She had loved those eyes more than she loved herself.
That was Jackie’s eye.

Summary
She wants Beatrice to fingerprint her, to tattoo her, to leave a mark so deep not even the Halo can rid her of it. Her muscles feel too tight, stretched uncomfortably over her bones. There is something ravenous inside of her, and Beatrice is going to set it free.
You are the only thing I've ever lived for, Beatrice says.
You are the only thing I've ever died for, Ava says, and even that wasn't enough to keep me from you.

There are no girls like Lottie Matthews. Girls born into exuberant wealth, living feels merely like having a list of options because certainly that’s what people in pursuit of money want - choice.

The Yellowjackets will always unknowingly make Lottie Their God.

Summary
Her face is wet when the others find her.
“What happened?” Camila asks, eyes darting from the puddle of blood that was once Michael, to the puddle of blood that was once Adriel, to the puddle of blood that was Ava before Beatrice pushed her through the Arc.
“She did it,” Beatrice says, soft and bitter, “Adriel is dead.”
Camila’s eyes dart from the blood to the tears on Beatrice’s face. “And Ava?”
Beatrice closes her eyes. Swallows the grief. Chokes on the sob. Tries to remember how to breathe. Tries to remember how to live.
“Gone. She’s gone.”
Or: Beatrice, in the aftermath.

Summary
She-Ra doesn't scar.
In her mind’s eye, the Horde insignia remains emblazoned on her back: jagged, scabbed-over crimson lines permanently carving Hordak’s wings into her shoulder blades in Catra’s uneven handwriting. The proof of Adora's identity spelled out violently across her skin.
In the mirror, there’s absolutely nothing there.

Summary
Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

Summary
She could just keep Cara’s clothes, and never see her again. It could be like a sort of memento of the evening, the real signifier of the Nike event - not a borrowed red dress, but a borrowed t-shirt and pair of leggings. Less valuable by cost, sure, but far more meaningful in the wearing of it.
