Link to view series on AO3
Pardon the mess, we're still styling the place!
Ellen Joe admires Koleda's persistence when asking her out and being rejected this many times in a row. It's almost enough to make her say yes. Almost. Instead, an exchange of phone numbers. When early morning texts go awry, Ellen Joe is slowly worn down as she sees a side of Koleda often hidden from others.
Another day wasted in school! I should be out in the Hollow, doing commissions, working with Belle, hanging out with Belle... other stuff...

Audrey was out of money, time, and options. When a tall buff stranger causes her to spill her drink, Audrey breaks down. After quelling her tears, the stranger, a woman named Shel, explains that her job is currently looking to fill a position. It felt like her luck was finally turning around. The plan was simple. Get hired. Wait on women who appreciated her androgynous charm. Spend her free time continuing her transition. Unfortunately, the clientele would put a wrench in this plan. Audrey expected their clientele to be women in their late 40's that were dying to drop a few hundred dollars on this year's latest model. Was it too much for Audrey to expect them all to be human?
Ellen likes her apartment, the management company is polite and they don't raise the rent a crazy amount each year, and the neighbors don't change. They all get her general vibe and don't push her to talk if she doesn't answer. When a loud bang brings her to the peephole, she finds moving boxes on the other side. Her old neighbor left, and someone new has arrived. Who could her neighbor be? Pinky pony tails? Grey bowl cut? Blue pixie?
Belle tells Ellen about a super hot girl that comes to the video store every Tuesday. When Ellen stops by after school, she is greeted by the visage of a Theiren mouse lady. She is an angel walking among man, and she just stashed her number in Ellen's sock.

People to run the phones, research potential clients, maintain their extensive information network. Today's interview proves promising.
Corin wakes up in a dark room. Her whole body is tied up in a complex hibari rope, her arms behind her back, her legs splayed open. A vibrator is pressed devilishly against her, lying in wait. This must be Rina's doing.

Ellen Joe needs to talk to the building manager. Someone keeps letting Rina into her building. Always with the late night visits, bringing beer that she doesn't want to drink. Screw it, maybe this time will be different.
Belle finally clicks on one of those banner ads on the Inter-Knot for a "romantic evening". A call girl.

Instead it has come to this, tonight at 8 pm, she'll get to spend the night with someone.

This is a collection of stories to accompany the chapters of my work Pink Cake and Blackberry Cobbler. They are meant to be more explicit and are not something I consider to be canon to PCBC's main chapters.
Kabru just handed me a letter to go to the photo lab with him after school. What do you think that means?
I can't stand to lose to Cho every single test. I get a 98%, she gets a 99%. I get a 99.8%, she gets a 99.9%. Always so encouraging, "Oh you'll get that 100% next time" and "Why don't we do a study session together", bleh. What's this? A love potion recipe? Hmmm, I wonder...
Marcille always has the worst luck. Getting paired up with Laios, then having to do a dissection with him? Blech! Seriously, why is this kid so... Who is he waving at outside? Falin? His sister?? A hike? Sure, sounds like fun!
Supplementals are what I am calling bits of story that were more mature/didn't match the tone of the work around it. These will be much more intimate and sexual where the main Smitten in School entries leave more for reader's to fill in the blank. They may not be released in the same order as other parts of the anthology, but I will write a note at the beginning to describe where I see a given supplemental occurring. Anything that happens in a supplemental exists both in and out of that world in a canonical super position.
By day, I sit and smile inside of a frame. People come, stare, take photos, and they marvel. Then they leave, thinking nothing more of me than "Wow, a classic."
