    Summary

    “Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—

    “It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”

    And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.

    So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.

    Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

    Summary

    The knocking doesn’t stop. The voice starts to wind up into a shout so you stand with a huff, feel your muscles protest as one and ignore them as you sweep over to the door in your jeans and long sleeved shirt that you may or may not have changed in the past day or two- you can’t quite remember- with your flyway hairs pinned back and out of your face because your hair is in that horrible not-quite short but not-quite long stage and you haven’t gotten around to giving yourself a haircut yet. You look like a mess. You also couldn’t care less, so you fling the door open with a flourish and glare up (and up and up) at the person standing behind it.

    “Nav,” you hiss through half-gritted teeth. “What the hell do you want.”

     

    Or: in which Harrow has a visitor, nobody knows how to cook, and something is better than nothing
