Summary
Sixty-seven days clean, and Rue Bennett’s first real test is a graduation party she only agreed to because Lexi asked and nobody says no to Lexi.
She wasn’t expecting Maddy Perez.
She wasn’t expecting a lot of things — the way a drink spilled between them could turn into thirty minutes against a wall, or the way Maddy looks when she thinks nobody’s watching, or the specific feeling of standing next to someone who’s also in the middle of rebuilding something and not quite ready to name what they’re building.
This is a story about two girls who never really knew each other learning how to know themselves first. About recovery that isn’t linear and healing that doesn’t announce itself. About the slow, inconvenient, slightly terrifying thing that happens when someone sees you — actually sees you — right when you’re figuring out who you are.
It takes a while. It’s worth it.
edit: went back and fixed some internal inconsistencies throughout (timeline/day-count stuff, mostly) — should read cleaner now. also added 2 bonus chapters at the end for anyone who wants a little more time with these two. enjoy 💛

Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”
*
Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
