Summary
Here’s the first rule that everyone tells you: don’t fall in love with your straight best friend. The second rule is probably not to say dumbass shit around her, either, stuff like all the pussy you’ve gotten—which isn't even that much, Jesus—because she’ll get that look on her face. You know the one. That split second, that pause, that discomfort that says she knows.

Backstory: OITNB is set in a women’s prison in Connecticut. Taystee and Poussey are both in on drugs offenses, and are canonically best friends. (Not a lot of canon knowledge is required to enjoy this story.)
Rec: The real strength of this story is lupinely’s rock-solid Poussey voice; it’s there from the first sentence and it never once wavers throughout the course of her rocky and self-castigating but ultimately hopeful negotiation of her relationship with Taystee. Lupinely captures Poussey’s anger and conflictedness but also her tenderness toward Taystee; and how she uses her external toughness in service of that tenderness. Really lovely.
Content warnings: Deals realistically with homophobia, drugs, violence, the prison system -
