it's a cruel summer (we could've been cool for each other)

Summary:

The truth is, Margot wants as much time with Amy before college as she can get. Getting her to tag along as a counselor at camp is just the excuse.

Notes:

For femslash100100's prompt table Zero, prompt #2 - "heartbreak". IYKYK. yes the title is a play on the songs Cruel Summer and Cool for the Summer. I make no apologies for my cringe.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:


 

The truth is, Margot wants as much time with Amy before college as she can get. Getting her to tag along as a counselor at camp is just the excuse.

 

Margot doesn’t have overly fond memories of hot summers spent with mosquitoes and ticks, but it gets her out of the house for a brief respite.

 

It would let her and Amy have more time together. Without pressure, Krissy’s possessive resentment, her mom’s constant expectations.

 

Margot doesn’t expect anything to happen. She can’t afford anything to happen. But then again, sometimes what happens at summer camp… stays at summer camp.

 


 

Notes:

Spouse and I are rewatching this fun little show this summer and I got this awful headcanon for poor Margot, RIP.
