    Summary

    Wednesday wakes up from being stabbed in the neck with a hypodermic needle, which is a surprise. She has a pounding headache and an issue with focusing her eyes that means it takes her a dangerously long time to figure out what she’s looking at.

    “You’re supposed to be in prison,” Wednesday says before her brain can catch up with her mouth and tell it that ‘you’re supposed to be in prison’ is a stupid thing to say to someone who is, evidently, not in prison.

    [Wednesday is a semester and a half into her tenure at Nevermore, and people keep trying to kill her. It’s not that she doesn’t appreciate the effort. It’s just that she has better things to do than try to teach people how to do murder properly.]

    Summary

    “Here,” you say, tossing the photo her way. “Check it out. Blackwell was insane for kicking me out, right?”

    You give her your best grin. It’s not very good, but she’s not looking, anyway. She twists the photo in her hands, turns it upright, and does nothing but blink at it.

    For a moment, you’re scared she’s going to fall in. Not because it’s a photo -- it isn’t even of her, isn’t more than a few hours in the past -- but because you’re more convinced than terrified that she’s just going to up and vanish. If it’s not time-bullshit, then it’ll be her having enough of putting up with your bullshit; she’s got her family out there, over in Seattle, and you’ve got a beat up truck and a few thousand dollars to your name.

    Summary

    Josie scoffs and rolls her eyes.

    Her sister is seventeen and in the middle of a divorce.

    Un-fucking-believable.

    (or in which Lizzie and Hope don't know what talking is and Josie tries to fix things)

    Summary

    “Is there any scenario where this doesn’t end in disaster?”
    “This” being: Hope is in love with Lizzie and is best friends with Josie, and Josie is Lizzie’s twin sister and Penelope’s ex girlfriend, and Penelope is still in love with Josie but is sleeping with Hope, who still hates Penelope, no matter what anyone else might say.
    This is why it’s easier to just never care about anyone. Hope thinks.
    She puts her head down on the table with a thunk. “No. This is so fucked up.”
    Penelope just laughs.
