Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
She knows Judy uses a vibrator, a small thing that fits in her hand and was made by “a female owned company.” She takes these bits of information into herself as though they’re entirely inconsequential to her, as though she hasn’t had more than one dream involving Judy, the vibrator, and herself, whose narratives seem more in line with pornography than any rational progression of events.

Summary
"She thought Jen was the kind of girl men would go to war for, like Helen of Troy, some siren for whom sailors would wreck themselves on the rocks. She was such an easy person to love, gorgeous and contradictory and unexpectedly kind, her mother’s loss lodged deep in her, proof of a rich groundswell of feeling she did her best to hide."
_
Jen, Judy, road trips, rock bands, magic mushrooms, and the tumult of unresolved love.

“I want to see your vagina,” Jen blurts out. Out of nowhere, Judy thinks, except that it sounds like it’s been stewing inside her brain for a while. That Jen just finally managed to push the thought past her lips after a whole day’s mental labor.

Summary
"But Jen can’t let go now, not ever again. Not when guilt unravels so easily in her face. (She’s seen it; she’s been spending a lot of time looking at the mirror, practicing the way her mouth moves to hide her lies.)"
An alternate ending to the first season, and then some.

Summary
Jen and Judy are both in college and work at a fine arts camp for the summer. Jen is the 20 year old return staff who teaches dance classes and Judy is the 19 year old newbie who was hired to teach painting classes.
For right now it's just the first chapter/the meeting of the two. But I'd definitely be willing to write more!
Also, someone PLEASE help with with a title. It's just cringey!
