    Summary

    “You know that song, that’s like ‘you’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we can make a deal?” Jackie says quietly when Nat returns to the porch.
    “You mean the song called: Fast Car?” Nat follows her gaze to the truck. The last piece of her old man, and the only one really worth keeping.
    She returns to look at Jackie, noticing the gym bag stuffed with clothes and cash.
    “You’re not serious,” Nat scoffs with a laugh.
    “Look, I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel and die in fucking Wiskayok, New Jersey.”

    --

    Follows roughly 10 years of one Natalie Scatorccio and one Jacqueline Taylor cohabitating in a Chelsea apartment while they learn how to be adults.

    Summary

    It’s raw between them, sometimes. Lottie often feels as though she’s a specimen beneath the bulging lens of a microscope, being studied by knowing hands that are far too familiar to be anything but kind. She’s at Natalie’s mercy, a dog at her feet, a devotee at her altar.
    She feels completed by Natalie, understood by her in unearthly ways that leave her breathless and wanting.
    She feels hypnotized by Natalie in ways that are indescribable, feelings she doesn’t understand left turning in her stomach.
    It was never like this back home. Even with the boys she dated — however temporary they were — Lottie never felt this. This magnetism, this intoxication, the way she feels lost without Natalie standing beside her.
    A prophet and her pariah, Lottie feels completed.

    or: after the failed hunting competition, natalie teaches lottie how to hunt, and feelings are the easiest thing to catch out here.

    Summary

    Nat slows, hands in her jacket pockets and brows slightly raised because she’s never exactly been close with Lottie.

    Yet there she is, peeling a menacing gaze away from the group of boys and settling a soft one upon Natalie once she spots her, all long brown hair and tan skin and god, Nat is always fucking winded at how tall she is.

    Summary

    This ingenious plan lasts all of three months before Lottie Matthews is rapping at her door, and she’s in Natalie’s arms, and all Natalie can feel is the rush of wind through the trees, and the sharp sting of lake water in her eyes, and Lottie’s comfortable warmth.

    And that’s when it all goes to absolute shit.

    — After the rescue, Nat cuts contact. But then Lottie shows up at her door to escape being sent to Switzerland and she’s right back in it.

    — Or, how they begin to heal. Slowly. Together. They are young and they are learning how to live.

    Summary

    Rescue comes in the winter of ’97, not ‘98: Jackie doesn’t die and Natalie’s never crowned, but the violence endures. Nat leaves her heart, spirit, and soul in the wilderness; Jackie loses two fingers, her memory, and Shauna Shipman. They’re figuring it out, together.

    It works, right up until Lottie crashes her car into a tree and upends absolutely fucking everything.

    OR
    In the summer of ’99, the fractured Yellowjackets reunite to play the single worst season of roller derby that central Jersey has ever seen.

    Summary

    Nat thinks her worst enemy is her desk-mate, Lottie Matthews, resident bubblegum bitch. She loathes her, with her dumb hair and her preppy clothes, and is prepared to do anything to make her prissy ass move seats. Between long-winded debates, petty spats and off-handed insults, Nat has tried everything to get a reaction out of Lottie - and nothing. Every interaction just makes Nat hate her more.

    Little does she know, she talks to Lottie every day online.

    Summary

    Her life is normal in the mundanity of living as a witch in the wood. She ventures into town as a wraith dressed in black to peddle tonics and act as a healer the townsfolk do not speak about. Things do not change. Until she finds a beast in the forest that does not seem like a regular wolf.

    Summary

    “Well,” Wednesday says, in a tone of vague boredom, “Are you going to do it or not?”

    “I don’t know,” Enid hisses at her. “And also, how did you even get in here?”

    Wednesday doesn’t deign to respond to that. She sits down cross-legged on the floor, folds her hands in her lap, and continues to look expectantly at Enid. In the middle of the werewolf cages. On a full moon.

    “Wednesday.”

    “Yes, Enid.”

    “Go away.”

    “No.”

    Summary

    Wednesday wakes up from being stabbed in the neck with a hypodermic needle, which is a surprise. She has a pounding headache and an issue with focusing her eyes that means it takes her a dangerously long time to figure out what she’s looking at.

    “You’re supposed to be in prison,” Wednesday says before her brain can catch up with her mouth and tell it that ‘you’re supposed to be in prison’ is a stupid thing to say to someone who is, evidently, not in prison.

    [Wednesday is a semester and a half into her tenure at Nevermore, and people keep trying to kill her. It’s not that she doesn’t appreciate the effort. It’s just that she has better things to do than try to teach people how to do murder properly.]

    Summary

    “What is your last wish?” Wednesday asks impatiently. “Surely there must be some idiotic, impractical thing you want. You humans are so very predictable in that way.”

    And Enid, who’s wished on every star and comet and birthday candle she’s ever seen, looks at Wednesday now and comes up impossibly short of an answer. One wish left, anything in the world at her fingertips, and all she really wants is more time to spend with this enchanted, enchanting mystery of a girl.

    Summary

    There’s a pause, and then Wednesday speaks again. “I admit that I do have one ulterior motive in asking you to visit for the holidays.”

    Enid laughs, unsurprised; there’s the Wednesday she knows, even a phone line and a coast away. “Yeah? What is it?”

    “I told my parents that I’m in a relationship,” Wednesday says, offhand, like it’s just another sentence and not a lightning strike to Enid’s heart. "With you, specifically."

    Summary

    For once she just couldn’t find it in herself to bask in the torture of watching Enid suffer. And so, she unstuck another band aid and pressed it carefully to the irritated skin, her thumb accidentally grazing over the edge of the cut.

    Enid hissed at this, grasping for her elbow out of reflex, but Wednesday didn't feel any of it. Her world had already tilted over in a violent convulsion and fell backwards into the stream of time.

    In honor of the already highly peculiar day, the sudden vision immediately outranked any other she had experienced so far in the categories of ‘most unnerving’, ‘atrocious’ and ‘deeply perplexing’.

    First of all, she could feel soft warm sheets against her back.

    Summary

    There is a shade over the sun, dimming its light and diluting its brilliance. Or, in terms that do not come unbidden from the depths of Wednesday's traitorous, maligned brain, there is something wrong with Enid.

    Recently, Wednesday's personal notebook has been consumed with nothing but Enid, but in a distinctly investigation-oriented manner. Wednesday has mapped out the past year of their intertwined lives, and with it, Enid's sliding descent into the miserable, moping mess who has been haunting Nevermore in her best Wednesday impression.

    Summary

    Maybe she was just answering an ancient call, one that every Addams had answered before her. Maybe it all hurt so much because her dislocated heart had to be fixed the old fashioned way, the way Grandmama would have fixed it, with a firm grip and a harsh wrench and twist. Maybe she just overthought everything when it came to Enid. She was categorically not thinking now.

    Summary

    There are gold rings on their hands shaped like blackberry vines and run through with a soft, thin red string. A red string that is connected and pooled on the floor between them.
    “Okay…what the frick just happened?”

    Wednesday regrets that sometimes she is a creature capable of kindness because now it has landed her here, in this unfamiliar new school with a pretentious name. Now Wednesday finds herself cursed, bound to a stranger with eyes too clear and a smile too sincere, bound to her with the Red Thread of Destiny. Worst, there is something in their blood, not just hers, that has awoken this curse and neither of them know why. Neither of them understand why eye contact and Enid uttering her last name has done this. But Wednesday will not rest until she figures it all out.
