STATE OF GRACE:
SUMMARY & DISCLAIMER
❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀
S T A T E OF G R A C E:
(phrase of grace)
1. a condition of being free from sin.
Wally Lawrence is a history buff in every sense of the word(s). He knows more about Socrates than the man in question, has the biography of Alexander Hamilton metaphorically tattooed on his heart, and could probably recite Plath, Poe, Hughes, and Angelou until the audience develops laughter lines, or some other indicator of passing time. Wally also happens to be a fan of taking absolutely everything into consideration.
And, even after totaling his ex girlfriend's new boyfriend's (he knows, he knows. It's complicated, alright?) Camaro, Wally Lawrence still considers himself a good person.
Fine, fine. Okay! Alright. A decent person. He's trying, okay?
Amara Evans does not consider herself good, or bad, or anywhere in between. Mainly because she doesn't know which of her she should take into consideration, but also because she strongly prefers color over blacks and whites and those grays that fall somewhere in between. There's also a fraction of her that finds comfort securing second opinions from trusted acquaintances on certain matters, the nature of her morality included, but that's kind of impossible thus far into her life.
Because the original Ides of March offed Julius Caesar a long time ago and she has absolutely no idea where that son of a bitch ended up, anyway.
They are dawn and dusk, these two. Light and dark. Black and white.
And the gray area? You see, that's his obsessive affinity for world history and her impossibly extensive knowledge on all things considered.

what am i doing?? couldn't tell ya.
am i excited?? very very much so.
alright so like:
- state of grace is 100% original and 100% MINE. my characters, plot, town, et cetera. PLEASE don't plagiarize, because that would make you a shitty person and no one likes to hang out with shitty people. if this seems familiar to any of you day-one lovelies, i stole amara's plot from one of my isaac lahey fics that goes waaaaaay back. no joke. i was probably thirteen.
- a continuation of the first bullet: if you wanna fight me about my disclaimers please look up the definition of plagiarism in a dictionary and then cordially hit that backspace key on that comment you were gonna leave here about how i'm not allowed to protect my ideas (lmfao this is a JOKE I SWEAR).
- this is a short story. i'm shooting for anywhere between ten to fifteen longer chapters.
- updates will be slow until summer break rolls around (june 13th!!), because hi my name is ryan and i suck at updating!
- what do we think?? do we like?? are we excited?? leave a comment if you wanna, i love hearing what you guys have to say!
