   Summary

   Alex Vause is an English teacher who is gradually losing love for everything around her. When Piper Chapman is hired as her new colleague, Alex’s life lights up.
   (I can’t write these summaries without them sounding clichéd as shit, so here’s the facts: slow burn, with plenty of exposition. Sexual content coming up, some bad language. Literary allusions ahoy. Features prompts from Vausemaniac and Jamie_Jay.)
