Polexia felt kind of bad about leaving William in New York without any of the girls to take care of him. (And she knew that they had.) But a deal’s a deal, after all, and they had to be gone before the band left the city. And it was England - she couldn’t resist. She kept telling herself it wasn’t for forever - just a little while. She’d meet ( Read more... )

When she opened her eyes, Natalie was lying on the ground. The problem was, she didn't know how she'd gotten there. The last thing she remembered, she was at some club, completely wasted and on at least three different kinds of pills, dancing and making out with random guys. She'd spent her weeks since her mom went in to get her brain fried running ( Read more... )

No decorations, no printed invitations- just word of mouth invites, just booze, just good music. At least Michelle didn't have to worry about her mum coming home.

It was clear that Michelle Richardson was ecstatic that her best friend had suddenly shown up, regardless of the terrible situation Jal had been in. The party wasn't meant to make her ( Read more... )

"Then march me to my death! I care nothing for this world. I have done my duty to my family and to the gods, and I am glad to go now and join the ones that I love ( Read more... )

Jal stared up at the door to her father's flat. ( the rest cut for spoilery reasons. Be aware this spoils the end of the second season. )

 And meanwhile, there was Michelle, moping as per usual, since it was obvious there was no fucking way out of this place. She kicked a small thing of ice around as she walked around the community.  She had stopped smoking at least.

A part of her hated being here, without her friends from home. She knew people judged her, and for the most part, she ( Read more... )

Aaand, Wendla was outside again. She'd only meant to take a brisk walk because it was quite chilly in recent days. It was windy, too, and the wind had taken her hat away, making Wendla chase it down the path, laughing a little to herself.

She was reaching up to pluck the hat out of its path when she saw it. A single white snowflake.

Her eyes lit up ( Read more... )

So, there’s a Johnny around - he’s placating the streets with simple flyers, that read as follows, and include the address of the party, of course.

Open house party
Open bar, bring food if you want
Music by DJ Stew
Starting at 8PM on New Year’s Eve
Everyone is welcome!

The flyers are slipped under doors and such, undiscriminatingly, because a party is ( Read more... )

Maybe Seamus shouldn't have tried tackling such a dubious looking Death Eater by himself. Maybe Seamus should have stayed with the group. Maybe Seamus should have studied his Defense Against the Dark Arts a little more, but maybes and should-haves wouldn't really do him a whole lot of good at the moment, now would they?

"Fuck!" he swore to no one in ( Read more... )

Michelle had been getting ready for school that morning. She was going to meet up with Jal for coffee and then head off to school and perhaps grope Sid a little in between classes.

She had been applying her mascara, humming to herself, when she realized she left her brush in her bedroom. Tightening the towel around her chest - she didn't trust her ( Read more... )
