Summary
One afternoon she asked, “Do you think I’m good?”
Paloma looked up from the sink, puzzled. “Good how, mi corazón?”
“Just… good?” Nicky looked down at her feet
Paloma smiled, wiping her hands on her apron. “You’re good like warm bread. Not perfect—but perfect gets lonely.”
That was perhaps the kindest thing anyone had ever said to her. -

Summary
That’s it Darlene sighed and pulled herself up from the mattress if she was going to be drowning in self pity she sure as hell wasn’t going to do it alone or sober.
Nicky Nichols didn’t belong here. The warehouse buzzed with sweat and static, a mass of people drowning themselves in shitty house beats and liquor. The walls were tagged up with slogans she couldn’t decipher ‘ F-SOCIETY, Anarchy Is Peace, Kill the rich, No One Is Safe from the revolution’ She pulled at the hem of her too-thin hoodie, suddenly aware she looked like she’d just crawled out of a halfway house. Which, to be fair, wasn’t too far off
The one where darlene is sad and fucked up over Dom. She meets Nicky Nichols fresh out of prison who is equally fucked up.
The Mr. Robot/Orange is The New Black crossover no one asked for but i couldnt get out of my head.

Summary
Of course, Natalie had always thought Lottie was pretty. More on an intellectual level. Shit, it was just a fact. But the way her dark curls framed her jaw and neck… Well, the sight had suddenly grown interesting. Interesting and previously unnoticed. And now, like the memory of their encounter in the washroom, it was stirring something in Natalie she hadn’t realized was there.
// OR: The one where Nat and Lottie catch feelings in the wilderness, and it's everyone's problem. (But mostly theirs.)

Summary
Nat doesn’t begin to orbit the Wiskayok high society until she’s thirteen and in her last year of middle school.
It’s not like she’d been kicked out of her other school, not really. It was just strongly suggested that she might be better off elsewhere, after yet another incident involving a lighter and Terry Faulkner’s gym bag.
He deserved it, and he’s an asshole, but alas — new school. New beginnings, the principal ordained brightly when she enrolled, and both her and her mom had rewarded his enthusiasm with a non committal grunt and an eye roll.
“Hey! Natalie? Natalie, uh. Sarc— Scatto — Natalie?”.
Nat grimaces and turns. This was gonna be a long fucking five years.

Summary
She was shoving her cleats into her locker when Lottie —fucking— Matthews rolled up with a paper flower in hand.
"Hey." Lottie smiled like she wanted to, but also like she was holding back because of the bloodthirsty staredown Nat had just given her. "Sorry they're being assholes. You were great today."
Then she handed her the flower and left. It had French words scribbled across one side and pink highlighter on the other, and the tip was ripped like the girl had just torn her class notes in half to make the stupid thing.
She smiled to herself. Lottie fucking Matthews.
