    Summary

    A series of loosely connected snippets from the summer after junior year. There are explicit mentions of sex but nothing happens on screen. Have I ever before considered smut as juice and non-smut as pulp? No, but the chant wouldn't leave my head when trying to come up with a title.

    Mostly based around Skutgug (the new ship name of Scuttlespring I've embraced) but it’s evolved to be a series of vignettes about all the Bad Kids and the [former] Rat Grinders as well, with big chunks of Adaine/Oisin & Ivy/Aelwyn, and out of nowhere, unrequited(?) Lucy/Kristen.

    Summary

    Gorgug pictures his parents crying at his funeral. The metal flower they would bury him with. Their families, smug eyes and I told you so on their lips. Kristen, a cautionary tale of why those in Helio’s light shouldn't reach for those who aren't.

     

    It's remembering Kristen that always makes him stumble in his melancholy. If he wasn't brought back, he can manage. But if Kristen were trapped in a place where bad things happened to good people and loving fathers turn their backs on their sons and Chosen Ones are random… The thought fills him with adrenaline, staring up at the empty night sky, listening to his friends’ quiet breathing.

     

    Kristen didn't deserve to die. And if that's true, then Gorgug didn't deserve to die either.

    Summary

    Fig opened her mouth to speak but Ayda got there first. “Did I do something wrong? Should I not have said that?” She was prepared to leave if she had to. There was a worry starting to wrap itself around her shoulders that said she shouldn’t want this. That she shouldn’t want Fig to reach out and take her hand. That she shouldn’t want Fig to keep looking at her, even if she couldn’t look back.

    That she shouldn’t want Fig to kiss her.
