    Summary

    The thing is, Marina had been on her very best behavior so far. Despite the fact that there is no written guide to being in unrequited love with your best friend, Marina was doing a very good job of it — reciprocating affection in exactly mirrored amounts and never escalating, never lingering on inappropriate thoughts— it took years of practice and terror, but she taught herself how to love Pearl like a friend and keep everything else locked away inside.

    She was very, very good at it. She had it handled, and things were going fine. Just perfect. Everything Marina could ever dare to ask for— but then—

    But then the Splatpocalypse happened, and Pearl had to go and change everything.

    Summary

    It’s a happiness like Kara has never felt, knowing she’s successfully pulled off their ruse and bumbled her way into her first tournament. She’s full of restless energy, so buoyant that she’s sure she could fly, and she spurs her horse onwards through the crowd, reveling in the joyous squalor of the city. It reminds her of home. Of London, the tiny hovel in the cheapest part of the city where Eliza worked her fingers to the bone as a healer to support the family.

    It’s in this mood, dressed as a man and brimming with hope as she meanders through the streets grinning at anyone who will give her a second look, that she sees an angel.

    Summary

    Marina’s done her research on how to propose, and has been rehearsing everything in her head for months. Sometimes, when Pearl isn’t home, she stands in the mirror and practices, watches her own face, and feels really silly. But she wants to do this right. She has the ring. Now she just has to take the plunge.

    Summary

    I like to go fast, Marina told her last week, and Pearl sees it now. The long profile of her body as she moves the quad skates, gliding as fast as she can around all the people, in tempo with Wet Floor’s Don’t Slip. She’s built for it, all those long lines, those muscled legs, the pumping of her arms. It’s intoxicating to watch her, especially for someone like Pearl, who loves these skates and this rink like she loves her home. Someone like Marina is exactly who she needs.

    A story of self-discovery, soul searching, and falling in love. Also, they skate sometimes.
