LAURENS, your timing is a dream, I just finished the first part of that. It’s going to be a longer thing, because of course it is, and I’m going to post it piecemeal under the tag “Stranger Labyrinth AU” because if people can portmanteau character names into increasingly worrying sexual diseases, I can do that.
It was the girl’s smile that drew Nancy’s eye, the first time. There was something about it, something off-kilter and a little familiar—it was the smile of someone laughing at a joke no one else understood. Harder than pure humor, somehow, as if looking out at the world and saying you poor oblivious bastards all the while.
There were days where Nancy lived that smile. She hadn’t gone a day without seeing it on a face since she was in high school. Her brother had it, sometimes, her boyfriend, often, she could feel it curve her lips every time someone suggested a horror movie. They sort of lost their thrill, when you’d lived one.
So when she saw the girl sitting alone at a table in the quad, long dark hair swinging loose and her lovely face turned up toward the sun, Nancy walked over.
