    Summary

    Zosia raises an eyebrow. “We never lied to you. I never lied to you.”

    “And I didn't either,” Carol says. “But you chose to leave out the truth so you could turn me into something you know I don’t want to be.”

    “So what did you do to me then?”

    There’s a moment where they just stare at each other, pain mirrored on both of their faces.

     

    or: carol and manousos manage to un-hive zosia. it goes as well as expected.

    There is a cure. Zosia is cured except she doesn’t remember Carol or anyone else at all.

    Summary

    "Am I bad company?" Carol's words are slurred, and she can hear the insecurity leaking into her tone. She's drunk. Carol knows she shouldn't be, but she couldn't stop thinking about- everything. After Zosia bombarded her with questions about her books, her conversation with Helen in the bar began to loop in her mind. 

    "Of course not, Carol." Zosia frowns, scolding her, as if the implication itself was an insult. "We enjoy your company."

    "I'm not a monster." Carol insists to no one. "I'm the only one who had a normal fucking reaction." 

    She doesn't hear Zosia's reply because she chooses that exact moment to attempt standing. Her legs buckle immediately. She feels Zosia catch her from under her arms, and Carol lets herself go limp like a cat, trying to refuse the touch without words. She won't tell Zosia to let go, of course, because then the woman actually would.

    Summary

    Maybe that’s where the last of her humanity lives: the hunger. The inability to go without when poison is within reach. The shameful, animal need to be held by the thing that’s hollowed out the world.

    Summary

    Breakup sex had never really been Carol’s style. She liked a clean cut, a scalpel’s edge, mostly because she was the one doing the breaking and her exes had never been that interested in trying to fight for her. So maybe her lack of experience in that arena was why she found herself intertwined with Zosia not even an hour after the illusion had been shattered.

    Carol is bad at breakups. Time to save the (girl) world about it.
