Title: i'm not your manic pixie dream girl by orphan_account
Fandom: Peanuts
Character/Pairing: Schroeder&Lucy van Pelt; Schroeder, Lucy van Pelt
Word Count: 1315
Warnings: mentions/implications of sex
Summary: “Lucy kisses him on a Tuesday, half-drunk on memories and scotch. Schroeder kisses her back. They go too far and it’s something close to a mistake, but neither of them can admit it even to themselves.“
Why I Rec This Fic: Lucy is awesome, she is angry and driven, and she will not let anyone else be the key to her own happiness. Also not something i can personal relate to (i always failed spectacular at everything) but gifted kids and the fear of failure – written beautiful.

You like to pretend it was some girl but the only way to get your heart broken is to love something.”

They drink punch and Patty fails to find the beat in a song for much longer than a few perfect seconds, but Marcie's laughter never sounds mocking, so Patty keeps doing the twist without inhibitions or much coordination. Their knees and bodies bump accidentally once or twice during the fun, and so much adrenaline courses through her by the time the gymnasium lights come up, she twirls Marcie around several times on the walk back towards their neighborhood.
