    Summary

    Chrissy Cunningham was used to being what people expected of her. Her mother wanted her to be skinny, so she was skinny. She wanted her to be an athlete, so she was a cheerleader. Everyone expected her to date Jason Carver, so she dated Jason Carver. Jason expected her to have sex with him. So... she did.

    After everything becomes a bit too much she strikes up an unexpected friendship with the school drug dealer, who doesn't expect anything from her. As she learns to be who she wants to be, and not who everyone else wants her to be, she gets involved with Steve and Robin, who further help her figure out who she is.

    Summary

    This time, she’s Zoey. 

    It takes seventy-two years this time.

    Tirelessly, the years stitch together. The sun rises and sets. The hollow spot inside of her waits. She has tried to make sense of these stubborn souls and the way they come back to her, how they always, without fail, manage to weave their way back through her chest, settling perfectly in the empty space within her that stays empty longer than it stays fulfilled. It must have something to do with the way the world shifted one day, how it broke apart entirely before being put back into place, starting to spin again as if it hadn’t come to a crashing halt. At some point, Zoey’s soul came loose. At some point, two more found a home.

    The hollow spot inside of her chest waits, and then there’s a tug. 

    The entire world shifts, stopping on its axis again, and then it begins to careen forward. Dizzyingly fast and determined and loud. Then, in a voice that has remained just as stubborn as the soul who used it first, comes the command: “Find me.”

    And Zoey does.

    (or, zoey and the two souls that belong to her, no matter how long it takes them to find her)

    Summary

    Jade doesn’t even bother to fully climb into Tori’s room. She rests her head on the windowsill, watching as Tori turns to give her a look, arching an eyebrow at her.

    “Come on,” Jade says, beaming at the woman. “Let’s get sushi.”

    “You’re paying,” Tori says back, grinning. It makes Jade’s heart flutter a little. “See you in a sec?”

    “As always!” Jade shouts as she drops back to the ground.

    And in the five seconds it takes her to get back to her car, Jade West thinks about kissing Tori Vega.

    (or, jade west finds solace in tori vega through vaguely unconventional means)

    Summary

    Rumi leans forward on the couch, her hair falling into her face. “Two weeks,” she murmurs, though she doesn’t sound convinced. “That’s what they’re saying.”
    Mira, beside her, doesn’t flinch. Arms folded, her expression calm but sharp, she answers without looking away from the TV. “They’re never honest about the first number. It’ll be longer.”

    Rumi knows she’s right, but another thought presses louder in her head: Zoey.
    Zoey, alone across the city in her too-small apartment, her family stuck thousands of miles away in America. Zoey, with her restless energy and big heart, the one who fills every silence with laughter or questions or that wide, blinding smile. Zoey, who Rumi loves just as surely as the woman sitting at her side.

    Rumi glances toward Mira, choosing her words carefully. She touches Mira’s thigh, soft and grounding. “Babe… what if Zoey stayed here?”
