Title: Hold Their Heads Heavy
Author: bittersweet_99
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short
Brief summary: Years from now, Jenny reflects on Tommy. On what they had and what they didn't and what's changed since then. It's short and quiet and eerie, made all the more eerie by the fact that it every easily could have happened this way.
It's Tommy Donnelly, the head honcho, whisking people away in smooth cars that hardly make a sound when they roll through the streets. It's Tommy Donnelly, the name kids on the school grounds whisper in corners in secret, wide eyes like they were telling themselves ghost stories.

They used to go to school together.

Prompt: 29. Intoxication.
Title: lost cause kids
Author: girlintheattic
Rating: G
Length: Short
Brief summary: There is not enough femslash in The Black Donnellys, but girlintheattic makes a valiant attempt. Joanie is dark and broken and hurting, and Jenny is swept along in her wake. Says a lot in very few words, and the insight into Joanie through Jenny's eyes is beautifully done.
Joanie does bad things just so she can pray for forgiveness. At least, it seems that way to Jenny. She’s seen it happen again and again and it’s a wonder that the older girl doesn’t get seasick from going round in so many circles.
