loving you is in my bones (something’s gotta give)

Summary:

ALANIS MUNSON’S WORLD DOMINATION PLAN
1. Graduate top of my class
2. Release at least 2 EPs
3. Get a college degree
4. Release album
5. Medical school
6. Get famous (backup: be a doctor)

The world, as it turns out, has other plans. It’s a good thing she’s a pretty good fucking babysitter.

this fic takes place alongside my jonathan/oc fic i'd give you the sun (if you asked me) - this can be read as a standalone, but there's quite a lot of overlap between the fics so some references will make more sense to readers who've read both.

Chapter Text

ACT ONE

1983

 

I bite.

 

I am not your pet. 

I never liked you. 

I don't care about you.

I won't wait for you.

 

I bite.

 

I've been hunted all my life.

I'm not easy to trap.

I bit him so hard, I nearly chewed his hand off.

Blood all over the kitchen floor.

 

My friends think I like to fight, but it's just not true.

Sometimes I lose my temper and blow off a little steam, but I've never enjoyed it.

I'm not a violent dog.

I don't know why I bite.
