    Summary

    Melinoë looks back at the corpse prince. As she watches, parts of him begin rotting, melting into blood; his gray skin bubbles and peels and falls into the ground, his muscles going to liquid, and she sees his bones and his innards and then straight through him for a terrible few seconds before she wrenches her eyes back up to his face. His eyes are vacant, glassy. They hold all the certainty of a mirror. She says his name, unable to help herself. And then his eyes, too, are gone, melting into the ground with the rest.

    Melinoë picks up the bloodied scrap with a shaking hand, tucks it among the rest of her things, and continues towards Olympus.

    -

    melinoë reaches the threshold of olympus. a threat she cannot hope to match is waiting for her there.

    Summary

    As an attempt at healing her heart after being flung back to her world, Alicia begins to paint. She begins to paint, but it is a slippery slope: Alicia is desperately trying to conjure her own version of the friends she had lost, just so she could give them what she perceives as a happy ending. Through failure, pain, and unwittingly hurting those she cares about the most, she slowly has to learn how to let go.

    Summary

    Nat thinks maybe she died in that trailer, like she was supposed to, and that this is some fucked up version of hell come to swallow her whole. Maybe she died and came back wrong, like all the same parts but no sum, Frankenstein's monster in the shape of a girl. It would explain the hole in her chest, at least. Maybe she drowned in the lake and it’s her body swinging from that branch, and she's just a ghost following behind.

    The truth is, Nat doesn’t even really know what being alive feels like. How would she ever know what death is?

    or

    nat is feeling a lot of big girl emotions and is bad at handling them. lottie is dying. they’re gay about it. tile is from zero by the smashing pumpkins.

    Summary

    “You know that song, that’s like ‘you’ve got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere, maybe we can make a deal?” Jackie says quietly when Nat returns to the porch.
    “You mean the song called: Fast Car?” Nat follows her gaze to the truck. The last piece of her old man, and the only one really worth keeping.
    She returns to look at Jackie, noticing the gym bag stuffed with clothes and cash.
    “You’re not serious,” Nat scoffs with a laugh.
    “Look, I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to throw in the towel and die in fucking Wiskayok, New Jersey.”

    --
