    Summary

    “What d’ya think… it’s like to be kissed?... Like if you’re kissing a girl, what does she think of it? D’you wonder what it’s like from that side of it? If you’re a good kisser?”

    Lupe pondered for a moment, squinting her eyes and weighing the question. Jess almost laughed at how seriously she was taking it.

    Then Lupe pulled Jess forward by the collar of her shirt and kissed her hard. She was rough and warm and tasted of smoke, beer, and laughter. Every inch of Jess’s body that was touching Lupe tingled with an electric buzz. Jess pressed back and let her lips part slightly, a heady rush of excitement making her dizzy. Far too soon, Lupe broke it off and pulled back, grinning like a satisfied cat.

    “You tell me, brother.”

    For a moment they stared at each other and Jess felt like she was looking through entire universes as she met Lupe’s eyes. Like a magnet between them, she leaned back in, her heart racing, her hands trembling, her whole self screaming for more–

    ---

    Jess and Lupe stick together after the season ends. The foundation of deep friendship and loyal brotherhood is challenged when other feelings start to encroach. It’s all fun and games until someone falls in love!

    Summary

    They’re both seventeen, and they don’t own much. Just a few coins they collected doing odd jobs here and there that they keep in a bag under the floor of Greta’s room.
    “We have to go.” Jo repeats, and Greta knows she doesn’t mean ‘home’. They have to go and they have to go far.

    Summary

    “’Would you hate me if I came to visit? I know we both need to find our own paths, but all I ever do is count the days until they merge back together again.’

    She thinks of Greta during every waking moment and dreams about her when she falls asleep as whichever train she finds herself on hurtles onwards through the night.”

    Carson struggles to find herself after Rockford, cast adrift from her friends and from Greta. She quickly learns that she is not the only one, but The Peaches will help each other readjust together. They are there as Carson reclaims lost parts of herself and slowly makes her way across the country to Greta, to her home. [Or, post-s1 Carson introspection ft: drinks with Jo, roadtrips with Lupe and Jess, hugs from Maybelle, a blissful reunion with Greta, and all the letters Carson never sent]

    Summary

    Maybelle is a woman of many qualities. She’s a hard worker, a good mother, she does her level best to be kind, honest, and determined, everything she’d been raised to value in those around her.

    She's also not as oblivious as Carson and Greta seem to think she is.

    Or: five times Maybelle Fox is the ultimate mother-hen.
