"It's about dad." Oh, no. There it was the punishment for last night.

The Magnolia Princess & Other Stories by simpards for Notevenaproperword

Summary
She kept The Magnolia Princess and Other Stories in an untitled file in her computer and the Word documents were titled randomly as idea1 and idea2. She would wait to pitch it to her publisher when it was complete. Her most personal work presented as an idea to add dimension to the fake persona that was her alter pen name.
Her mind set on writing them a happy ending. Neatly with a bow. One they would never achieve or see come to light, but one that was theirs either way.

Summary
“Hey, Helen,” her voice singsongs. Helen stops typing. Her work for the day is done, whatever Madeline has in mind will derail her afternoon and evening plans.
“What?”
“I read that the Sun will one day explode and the Earth will end.”
“Yes.” Technically it’s more complicated than that, but Helen does not understand astrophysics and the most simplistic explanation probably makes the most sense.
“Do you think we’ll die then?” Her blue eyes look terrified. Since they took the potion they don’t think about death or at least not in the way of dying. They think a lot about being immortal, which is directly linked to being unable to die. Will they have an ending?

Summary
“Normal people don’t continue friendships after having an affair with their best friend’s ex-fiancé. They certainly don’t invite them to be their maid of honor.” She was offended that he would, first think of her as normal, and second that he understood how Helen and her dynamic worked. This was the way they would work through it.
“You’ll never win if you continue to need her,” Ernest said against the glass of his lips.

Summary
The void was hard to describe. The heat of burning up with the planet had seemed unbearable at the time, but it had been a feeling. Fire could emit light, at the very least. And she had burned bright in Madeline's arms, engulfed in solar flames and screams of terror and anguish. Her wife had held her tight with all the force she could muster, trying her hardest to make sure they'd be together. Helen had used every ounce of energy left in her immortal corpse to stick to Madeline, too. But, although their shared love for each other had felt larger than the Sun itself, the collapse of their home, their street, their city, their world had ripped them apart. And, now, Helen's ashes could only float away, unable to cry, unable to scream, unable to die.
Or: what happens when the Sun finally devours the planet, as Helen says.
