what's inside a girl? by orangesparks (PG-13)

Fandom: THE HISTORY BOYS
Pairing: Fiona gen
Author on LJ: orangesparks
Author Website: orangesparks is a fic journal.
Why this must be read:

And now for something completely different: gen fic about a female character. Fiona is an underused and oft-ignored character in The History Boys, but I think she's quite interesting, and orangesparks connected ficlets here are a fantastic glimpse into just who this girl is, and why she decides to sleep with a schoolboy. It's a quick read, but she packs a lot of insights into just a few words. Fiona is worth taking notice of.


Kevin McGrady - her first real boyfriend - is nice, if not unforgivably boring. Pauline is less than sympathetic.

"What do you want?" she asks, irritably, struggling with hot rollers in front of the dresser mirror. (Fiona secretly hopes that her hair turns crispy.) "He pulls out chairs for you. He buys you things. You said he hasn't tried to fuck you yet. He's bloody Casanova, is what he is."

"But we have nothing to talk about," says Fiona, and the look that Pauline shoots in her direction tells her that she's just said something very stupid.
