Admit That The Waters Around You Have Grown (Greg-Vidalia | G | 1,072 words): Greg and Vidalia, single parents. This is a really lovely look at what it must have been like for Greg with an infant Steven. I like the friendship between him and Vidalia.
Excerpt:
Vidalia knocks with her free hand and Greg comes to the door and jeez, he looks like he had his heart yanked out and used to smack him in the face. He also looks ridiculously out of place in the little apartment. "No more van?"
"Oh," he says, startled, like he hadn't expected her to talk. "Yeah, well R— we, uh, I think… kid needs a home home, y'know?"
"Yeah," she says, swallowing around the lump in her throat. Days like these she's desperate for their youth. The stage, the lights, endless nights of being rock stars with no responsibilities or consequences or hurt. "I called my mom and she told me I should make you a casserole," Vidalia says, "but I don't know how to make a casserole. So here." She hands him a bag of Chex Mix.
