    Summary

    “Oh, fine.” Natalie replied. “A little warm for fur, isn’t it?”

    “It’s faux. Don’t get any ideas about red paint.”

    “Hm. Okay.” Natalie nodded, then sucked in a breath. “So, you’re a lesbian, though?”

    Lottie straightened and shut the fridge door, then turned back to Natalie. She had a bottle of water in her hand. “Don’t be reductive, Nat, I could be bisexual.”

    “…are you bisexual?”

    Lottie looked at her like she was stupid. “No, I’m a lesbian.”

    Summary

    Nat takes a chance to look around again, distracted by the thought of the missing Spider-woman in the space. Did she just up and leave while Nat’s suspended up here and, ugh, technically helpless?

    Nothing looks remarkably red and blue from where she hangs, and Nat’s about to accept her fate now—dead at eighteen, Rutgers freshman, soccer playing time of zero—when she feels someone else’s touch wrap around her limbs, and thank God it’s not another slimy tentacle.

    Nat starts seeing New Jersey's Spider-woman a little too many more times than she'd like.

    Summary

    Natalie nods slowly.
    “So this… this is a cult. You’re all… ritualistic murderers?”
    Lottie scoffs.
    “Well,” she says. “We really prefer to think of them as intentional sacrifices.”

    Natalie enrolls in college to get away from home after her father dies, but she quickly becomes obsessed with a strange, cult-like group of English students on campus, led by Lottie Matthews.

    Inspired by The Secret History by Donna Tartt.

    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.
