Why this must be read: This sharply written fic explores how things might have gone differently with the Minutemen had the Comedian been the Comedienne. Edie Blake is horribly ill-at-ease with herself and her desires, but here it's also very possible to sympathise with her. The story is both sensual and awkward, and captures that agonising adolescent longing very well.
Edie watches Sally more than she should-- there are a few things.
One, the golden auburn of Sally's hair, catching and flashy.
Two, the glitter of Sally's teeth when she talks, and does she talk a lot, lips a plush red sheen around the glitter of white teeth as she does it.
Three, when she titters and giggles and full-blown, head-thrown-back, neck-arched laughter, Sally betrays her repertoire. Anything remotely funny or related to keeping social levity earns Sally's laughter and chatter.
While Sally has a whole range of joy and Edie, well. Edie keeps her own with a monotonic smirk.
Maybe Sally should be the Comedienne.
