Summary
“Nat,” Lottie interrupts, sounding vaguely amused. “Is this something you want to try?”
“I asked you first,” Nat says petulantly.
Lottie is quiet for another moment. Half-hidden by her hair, Nat can see her ears slowly going red, the way they always do when she’s embarrassed.
“It’s not that I don’t want to,” Lottie says eventually, almost shy. “I’ve just never done it before.” A pause. “Like, been on the receiving end, I mean.”

Summary
“A couple weeks ago, I was talking to Van about Jackie’s wedding, and we were talking about plus-ones, and I—” Lottie sighs. “I kind of accidentally told Van I was seeing someone.”
Nat laughs. Laughs. Asshole. “And she believed you?”
Lottie reaches out with her leg and kicks Nat in the thigh, ignoring Nat's resulting offended squeak. “She did, because I’m a fucking catch, why wouldn’t she believe me, you dick.” Nat coughs pointedly. Lottie ignores her. “But obviously she told Jackie and now Jackie is insisting I bring this girlfriend to the wedding.”
“This girlfriend that you don’t have,” Nat points out, like Lottie isn’t already entirely fucking aware. “What are you gonna do?”
“Well." Lottie clears her throat awkwardly. "Here’s the thing. Van seemed to be under the impression that the someone I was seeing was you,” she says, wincing when Nat frowns. “And I kind of...didn’t correct her?”

Summary
“We make a good team,” Lottie says, and Nat might be drunk but she’s not drunk enough to miss the way Lottie’s eyes flicker down to her mouth. “We should do this more often.”
Nat snorts. “Right. Whatever, Matthews. Never going to happen.”
“Okay,” Lottie says, tilting her head to the side with an eerily all-knowing smile. “If you say so.”
Lottie gives Nat another blatantly obvious once-over before turning on her heel and walking away, stupid tiny skirt swishing around her thighs, and Nat is reminded all over again of the fact that Lottie Matthews, in addition to being a frat girl and the most obnoxious person alive, is also on the University of Wiskayok’s soccer team, and the proof is right there in front of her.

Summary
Nat realises what she’s about to say a second before it comes out, a week’s worth of build-up tumbling out unbidden. “I think I want to try it. You know, with a girl. Just so I can stop fucking wondering. Just so I can finally know.”
Somehow that feels even more exposing than anything else she’s said so far. God. She wants to try it out. Did she really have to word it like that? Like something she can just try on for size and then put back on the rack if she doesn’t like it or it doesn’t fit right? She wonders if Lottie will tell her to fuck off, or grow up, or—
“I could do it.”
Nat blinks. “What?”
“If you want to try a girl,” Lottie says. “If you would rather try with someone you know rather than a total stranger, I’ll do it.”

Summary
“Helen knew how… scared you were. She didn’t want to spook you, which is why she waited. She loved you after knowing you for only a few months, but knew if she took that step forward, you would…”
“But I didn’t,” Carol said. “I didn’t run.”
“No,” Zosia said quietly. “You didn’t.”

Summary
Of course, Natalie had always thought Lottie was pretty. More on an intellectual level. Shit, it was just a fact. But the way her dark curls framed her jaw and neck… Well, the sight had suddenly grown interesting. Interesting and previously unnoticed. And now, like the memory of their encounter in the washroom, it was stirring something in Natalie she hadn’t realized was there.
// OR: The one where Nat and Lottie catch feelings in the wilderness, and it's everyone's problem. (But mostly theirs.)

Summary
“Oh, fine.” Natalie replied. “A little warm for fur, isn’t it?”
“It’s faux. Don’t get any ideas about red paint.”
“Hm. Okay.” Natalie nodded, then sucked in a breath. “So, you’re a lesbian, though?”
Lottie straightened and shut the fridge door, then turned back to Natalie. She had a bottle of water in her hand. “Don’t be reductive, Nat, I could be bisexual.”
“…are you bisexual?”
Lottie looked at her like she was stupid. “No, I’m a lesbian.”

Summary
"Are you here because you want to be?" Lottie asks, fingers dancing up Natalie's sides. "Or is it because Travis ignored your calls again?”
It starts because Shauna needs to make sure no one finds out about what happened out there. It continues because… well, Natalie’s trying to figure that out.
Or, Natalie visits Lottie throughout the years after rescue.
