    Summary

    “Oh shit, is this a whip?” She reaches under Yelle’s bed, and pulls out a long braided rope of grass and straw.

    For a second Yelle can’t move. She has to remind herself that it’s not immediately recognizable for what it is, and even if it were Antiope couldn’t read it, and even if she could she would never. Still it takes a second for her to swallow and say, “Could you put that back?”

    Antiope does without question. “Sorry, I thought it was a whip,” she says. “If you couldn’t tell.”

    “I could,” Yelle answers. "But that's actually my diary, so I'd prefer it if you didn't look at it."

    Or: the art of writing with grass.

    Summary

    “’Would you hate me if I came to visit? I know we both need to find our own paths, but all I ever do is count the days until they merge back together again.’

    She thinks of Greta during every waking moment and dreams about her when she falls asleep as whichever train she finds herself on hurtles onwards through the night.”

    Carson struggles to find herself after Rockford, cast adrift from her friends and from Greta. She quickly learns that she is not the only one, but The Peaches will help each other readjust together. They are there as Carson reclaims lost parts of herself and slowly makes her way across the country to Greta, to her home. [Or, post-s1 Carson introspection ft: drinks with Jo, roadtrips with Lupe and Jess, hugs from Maybelle, a blissful reunion with Greta, and all the letters Carson never sent]
