🔮 molly moves to boston

The phone rings for the fifth time. Molly ignores it as she pulls open her drawer. She breathes deeper into the face mask as she works, pulling out clothes, one by one, throwing them into the box, hair sticking to her face.

QUEEN OF CUPS

🔮 two women

Your mother is an iron curtain and your aunt is a garden in bloom.

NINE OF SWORDS

🔮 two women

The tea has grown cold in the evening, yet her fingers still grip the cup loosely in her fingers. It's better than getting up and moving; she's too goddamn tired to do anything now with how large her belly is and how her son moves inside of her.

FIVE OF PENTACLES

🔮 the rabbit

Stuffed animals never appealed to her that much as a child outside of the ones she had brought her brother excitedly when her mother had announced her pregnancy.

SEVEN OF CUPS

🔮 the drive

the truck takes two hours to load, and when it's done, molly finds that she's near to exhaustion already. but there's no time to give in. not yet.

TRAVEL GUIDE

🔮 what to bring

the last things she packs in her carryon.

THE PROGRESS REPORT

🔮 molly is a good girl, for once.

the report card has what her parents have been asking from her for years: straight as, all in a row with her behavior unremarked upon.

COME TO JESUS

🔮 molly is terrified of her father

the sound of her father laying on his horn makes her ears and neck burn as she trudges down the steps of katherine weisz's house.

I DON'T MEAN TO LIVE ALONE

🔮 gryffin meets his "mother", karen

adults have always warned him to be careful what he posts online, to watch what he says on social media. but adults are all hypocritical bastards, and gryffin is grateful for it for once, because with just several easy payments with his dad’s emergency credit card to a few websites specializing in digging up adoption records and two months worth of facebook stalking, he’s found his sister, his two brothers, and his birth mother: karen patton.

IT IS TERRIBLE TO LIVE ALONE

🔮 introducing: gryffin

“hey, mom.” the sarcasm doesn’t drip so much as pour onto the perfect, gleaming pearl pink tiles of the kitchen floor. “are you going to sign my permission slip or what?”

REVANCHE

🔮 revenge, in three parts

some humans have a natural resistance to telepathy, charles xavier had once said to madelyne. at the time, they’d all thought that she had been (temporarily) blessed with powers, had finally been (more than human) someone worth seeing as an equal.

fury

🔮 buttons are pushed.

in the park, she feels like she’s being watched.

universes

🔮 she contemplates motherhood

it's always two things: red hair, blue eyes. no matter what mood she's in, no matter the circumstance? that's what she thinks teddy looks like -- what he could look like.
