    Summary

    She rolled a rock across the frayed asphalt using the bottom of her shoe. It clicked and rattled, scraping like nails on a chalkboard. Cars passed by, too many cars for this time of night. In Hatchetfield, none of this would be happening. It felt like a lie, even in her own heart, but Grace stood firm against doubt in this, her final feeble defense against the tears she felt budding in her eyes. None of this would have happened if the gym hadn’t flooded. None of this would have happened if she’d been in her own town, with people who cared, with a church that would take her in unquestioningly. None of this would have happened if there had been a split-gender prom.
    _______
    School spirit is high, teenagers are preparing to go to college, and two weeks before prom, the Hatchetfield High gymnasium floods. There's nowhere to turn, so this year, the graduating classes of Hatchetfield and Clivesdale High are being forced to hold a united prom in Clivesdale. Welcomed poorly, Grace Chasity finds herself alone, lost, and uncomfortable in a city very unlike the one she’s used to. For one night, she decides, she will let herself be different. And indeed, she ends the night a very different person than she began it.

    Summary

    “...yeah, pops. One second.”
    Figs ears twitch at the loud creeaaak from the cheap door, the cold of the knob and the tile on her bare feet and the rest of the apartment chilling her despite (or maybe because of) her infernal blood.
    “So. How do I look?” She does a half-hearted spin, the smile she makes feeling more like a grimace, but Gilear's eyes light up when he sees her in a way they so very rarely do. Surely that means she should just keep playing along, right?

    “Oh, Figueroth, you look simply wonderful! Why, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you in a dress,” he fawns, and Fig feels ants crawling on her skin, wringing her hands nervously. Her discomfort must show, because Gilears eyebrows get a little furrow between them, her heart rate picking up. Her palms are uncomfortably sweaty despite the cold hallway.

    “How do you like it, Fig?”



    Or, Fig tries on a dress and realizes she doesn't know how to dance.

    Summary

    "I'm not going to miss it," Adaine grumbles, just to be contrary. In truth, for all the grief Aguefort has given her over the years… she knows she'd be nowhere without it.

    "That's just the hater in you speaking," Kristen beams, and she wraps an arm around Adaine's shoulders, all but dragging her away from a waving Jawbone and towards the fountain the Bad Kids always meet at. "Come on, you don't think you'll miss getting our asses kicked every week?"

    "What, and also miss the weekly food fight you and Fig would start all the time?" Adaine snorts, and then her expression falls as she remembers that Fig isn't here anymore. "I mean… yeah, it's been fun, but I think I'm ready for it to be over."

    ~~

    or: it's senior year for the bad kids at aguefort and they've got new teachers to contend with! well, namely, the new cleric teacher professor abernant and the new paladin teacher professor applebees. surely it will be fine... right?
