OH GOD JAWNS
I WANT TO WRITE THIS REC IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH BUT I WON'T BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD BE QUITE OBNOXIOUS.
I know, I know, I made a whole Allison/Lydia rec list yesterday, but this fic is branding spanking new, and it's so so good, I wish I could quote every bit of it.
+Working in Pairs by soaringrachel.
It's equally Lydia/Allison and Scott/Stiles and it has all four points of view. Two snippets for you because I can't resist:
When Stiles and Scott were even younger Melissa read them Where the Wild Things Are so many times that they could read it themselves, trading lines back and forth. Scott has to read Great Expectations for school and he can’t get through it and it almost makes him hate the whole stupid concept of books, as he sits on Stiles’ floor and reads the same line again and again. But Stiles’ back is pressed hard against his, and how can he hate books? He knows that if he starts, “On the night Max wore his wolf suit,” he will hear, “and made mischief of one kind and another.”
Lydia wears a blue dress to winter formal and Allison watches her dance and dances with her and thinks she is the most beautiful thing Allison has ever seen, except no, because Lydia’s not a thing. Lydia’s not a thing and Allison’s not and no matter how much anyone wants to forget that, they’re going to go through life and be women, not things, together. They’re going to be Lydia and Allison in blue and green dresses and she can’t think of anything stronger.
I just. It's so good. Beautiful characterization and it deals with their queer identities so well. And I am just a bucket full of feels and more feels and then even more feels.
AHHHHHHHH.
