    Summary

    “God, the red tide’s strangling the life out of me today. I’d kill a man in cold blood if it meant I never had a cramp again.” Fatin's midriff twisted, failing to find a position that offered some relief. “Any chance you could help a girl out? Let me borrow a tampon?”

    Leah couldn’t explain what possessed her. Knew as the words slipped out that they’d replay in her nightmares for weeks. It was the lamest thing she could possibly say and it echoed around either the bathroom or her idiot head as she pulled the stupid tampon out of her backpack’s front pocket: “No, but you can have one.”

     

    Or: At the start of her final high school semester, Leah meets someone that she can't imagine soon forgetting. She can only hope the feeling's mutual.

    Summary

    The plate of risotto rests on the table between them, perfect except for one missing spoonful. Leah’s still looking at her, waiting for the verdict; Fatin suddenly, overwhelmingly doesn’t know how to do this.

    It’s incredible, she wants to say. You’re incredible. You, you, you. I’ve been all around the culinary world, been Michelin fucking starred, and I’ve never met a better sous than the one sitting across from me right now. Sometimes I think a meal prepared by your hands is the only thing that’s ever cured my hunger.

    “Yeah,” she says finally. “That’s fire, chef.”

    Summary

    I've never written a fanfic. Never posted anywhere. Never shared any writing with anyone. So this is a new adventure for me!

    Fatin keeps finding herself drawn to songs on the radio that stir up memories of her last five years since the island. She feels like they're speaking directly to her. Leah knows why the songs resonate so much, but none of the girls do and she thinks she'd like to keep it that way.

    Or...Leah moonlights as a songwriter for many very popular music acts, but she doesn't tell the girls.
