    Summary

    His voice is soft now, the deep yell from earlier having vanished. He has soft dark hair, hazel-green eyes and pale skin. He looks young, maybe a year or two older than her and she’s only twenty one. Ziggy knows that’s ridiculous of course. Niklaus is an old and famous demon. Horror stories have been spread about him for thousands of generations. Towns wiped out. Plagues. Death. Vengeance.

    Anything your heart desires in exchange for whatever he wants. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Balancing the playing field. It could be your soul, your first-born child, your wealth, your spouse. Anything yours under the sun.

    Or: Ziggy is a witch, Nick is a demon, and he has something she wants.

    She just has to give him something in exchange.

    Summary

    "Sam wants to have dinner with her mom tonight,” Deena grumbles, letting her head fall back against the couch cushions. “I told Sam we had to go out to a restaurant so that I didn’t have to worry about her trying to poison me.”

    Josh looks somewhat skeptical, but also overwhelming sympathetic. “She still hasn’t gotten used to you?”

    “Do you mean used to the idea of me dating her daughter? Of us living in sin?” Deena raises an eyebrow. “The other day she told Sam she couldn’t wait until she got this out of her system so she could meet a nice boy and have lots of grandkids.”

    Josh winces, shaking his head.

    Summary

    “Have you heard from Sam yet?” Kate asks.

    “Uh…no? Not for like…ten years?” Deena swallows, hoping that she doesn’t look as flustered as she feels right now. “Why would I have heard from Sam?”

    “Oh my God, Deena, are you being serious right now?” Kate rolls her eyes. "Because you just wrote a book that's literally all about her."

    Summary

    Sam had been almost certain that tonight was a date. Almost. Certain. Until the car had pulled up in front of her house with both Kate and Simon inside. And then there’s the fact that Deena hasn’t said a single word to her since she’d stepped out of her house. So…maybe not a date at all.

    Maybe Sam has just signed herself up to watch some ridiculously cheesy, gory, pointless slasher movie for no reason at all.

    Summary

    The wind continues to press against the glass, insistent, fingers eager to lift the pane and slip inside. Sam, she imagines the darkness whispering, hot against the back of her neck, you thought you could get away so easily?

    -or-

    Sam is afraid of the dark and Deena understands.

    Summary

    He’s eighteen now. Freshly graduated before he starts police academy and Sunnyvale college. Before he becomes fully inaugurated as the King of Sunnyvale. Ziggy gulps and looks away, pulls out her book. The Stand by Stephen King. It came only a few months after—

    No, she tells herself. No.

    The bus starts and pulls out the parking lot after all the rest of the counsellors arrive, and Ziggy glances up only once to catch Amelia sliding into the seat next to Nick. She says something that makes him laugh. Laugh!

    It takes Ziggy a moment to realizes she’s creased the page she’s on of her book because she’s holding it so tightly. Fuck. Fuck.

    It’ll pass, she’d told him.

    Now, if only she could take her own fucking advice.

    Or: Nick and Ziggy are Nightwing Counsellors during the summer of '79.

    Or: A second chance lovers AU.

    Summary

    That’s exactly how Deena finishes the rest of the week: alone. No more Josh trying to drag her up and to school. No Sam dropping by to smile at her and cajole her into a date night. No Kate. No Simon.

    Alone.

    Summary

    “Nick,” she said. “Nice to meet you.” She looked at him closely. “You look a lot happier when you smile.”

    “Oh.”

    “It’s nice,” she told him. “You have a nice smile. I just haven’t seen it before, really, because you tend to brood a lot.”

    “Oh. Sorry.”

    “You say sorry too much,” she commented lightly, but her eyes remained bright.

    She didn’t remove her grip from his, and Nick was too stupefied to do anything about it either.

    “Tell me,” Ziggy said, looking over his shoulder into the distance. He turned to find Kurt laughing with some other Sunnyvaler campers. Other footballers and jocks. “How do you feel about putting your proclivity for spiders to good use?”

    Or: Nick is the weirdo from Shadyside, and Ziggy is the princess of Sunnyvale.

    Or: a Nick and Ziggy gender swap.

    Summary

    She guides them to the living room once again, just like she did seven nights ago. Come with me, she says. I’ll tell you a story.

    Her life has been full of far more lies than she ever expected, but Ziggy never lied to them when she told her story. Never.

    She just left out a few details.

    Or: Ziggy and the five days she spent with Nick over the years.

    Summary

    “You shouldn’t have done that,” Alice says, scowling a little. “I can take care of myself. I don’t need a babysitter.”

    Cindy just looks at her. “I don’t want to be a babysitter either,” she says. “I already have one kid sister, I don’t need another.”

    “Great—”

    “But I would like a friend though,” Cindy blurts out, looking at her with those shiny blue eyes. “I haven’t ever really had a friend before.”

    Alice blinks. Once. Twice. It doesn’t make any sense that someone like her could know loneliness the same way Alice does, and yet—

    Cindy looks so earnest she doesn’t have the heart to say no.

    “Fine,” Alice says, offering Cindy her hand. “Friends.”

    There’s a beat before Cindy takes it, shaking it excitedly. Her hand is warm, her skin soft, and Alice feels her heart flutter.

    “Friends,” Cindy agrees, grinning.

    Or: This is how Cindy and Alice come together.

    It’s also the story of how they fall apart.
