I'm a sucker for people getting to live and how the narrative resolves around that. Could I get Barb Lives Side A for WIP Wednesday?

From WIP Wednesday

There are a few things that might have tipped the scales of Barbara Holland’s death.

It might have been the radio, music playing low but audible from where Barb sits to dangle her feet into the pool. It might have been the pool’s heaters, disorienting the creature that hunted her.

But mostly, it was that Barb was a girl scout. She knows how to dress a wound. There’s blood in the water, and blood on the deck, but it’s not soaking through the bandage.

#wip wednesday #I don't think there's a tag for this one yet which is a shame because there's a previous week's ask for this that you might enjoy #but here's an actual beginning to this fic. might have posted a version of the beginning before but I think this one is better I think #but yeah samesies! this fic is going to be a monster once it becomes an active WIP because you have to play with the web of the plot #and go 'what changes? what stays the same? How does it differ anyway?'#plus with a character like Barb there's a lot that's well established but there's also a lot of empty space to play in #but also. additionally. and this is true of all my Barb Lives aus #I love Barb + Nancy but I do think that there's a lot of potential for very messy feelings (and eventual resolutions thereof)#when you have a Barb who is alive but wasn't *saved*#no easy peacetime girl here to be found
