"You know, Tenner, you're absolutely, bat-shit crazy. Never a dull moment with you." "I'll take it as a compliment."
— EXTENDED INTRODUCTION.
DANIELLE AND GEORGIA TENNER couldn't have been more different from the moment they were born. They might have been sisters, two years and million little things separating them, but side by side they resembled the sun and the moon.
It didn't help that they couldn't stand each other.
Two years away from escaping the wormhole that was Bristol, Danielle though her younger sister was a pretentious twat she was forced to haul everywhere while their parents were at work. They were forced to share a room and majority of their clothes — thanks to Georgie's growth spurt last year — one leg in each other's personal space, and most often, in each other's business as well.
Georgia dyed her hair platinum blonde to separate herself from her sister's dark brown locks, saw her nicotine addiction as a personal insult hid her lighters. Dany retaliated with stolen diaries and dog shit on her new boots.
One thing they did have in common — unhidden distaste towards their perpetually arguing parents, on the brink of a divorce for nearly a decade, always waiting for a little push to plumet over the point of no return. The sisters endured painful silences around the dinner table, trying to ignore the stabbing, venomous looks John and Sylvie Tenner threw at each other over salad, pushing the bile that creeped up their throats with another bite of chicken.
But with a long, dull summer finally slamming the door behind them, and Danielle starting Roundview College for her final two years of education, she's determined to shake things up, even if that meant befriending a band of eight misfits, all of them as unique and damaged as she was.
Little did they know, the frendships they picked up along the way would change the course of their lives forever.

DISCLAIMER i do not own skins uk or any of the characters involved in the plot, only the tenner family and their plotline. although i currently live in the uk, i'm not a native speaker, so don't mind if i mess up accents, pop culture references or slang — i'm learning.
A NOTE the lack of skins fics both here and on ao3 is simply appaling, therefore i took it upon myself, once again, to contribute to this seemingly niche fandom. i feel like skins is definitely one of those tv series that, once you've watched it and understood it, you come out as a changed person. true, they presented many touch topics in questionable ways, but i still feel like it sheds a light to teenage fears and rebellion.
