Title: Q is for Quiet
Fandom: Pretty Little Liars
Characters: Bethany Young, Jessica DiLaurentis, Alison DiLaurentis, Wren Kingston, Big Rhonda.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Spoilers all the way through. Violence.
Notes: I'm assuming here that Alison censored her version of events when she told the other Liars what happened the day she disappeared. And I've changed my theory on who hit Alison - I didn't really want it to be Jason as I had it in F is for Facade, but hadn't known who else Jessica would cover for at the time.
Summary: Bethany knew she hadn't hallucinated seeing her father with that other woman, but he'd stuck her in Radley to keep her quiet. Now she knows the truth, and someone's going to pay.

( Jessica had taken Bethany's family, her whole life, away from her. Now Bethany had taken something from Jessica )

Title: O is for Outcast
Fandom: Pretty Little Liars.
Characters: Toby Cavanaugh. Mentions of Alison, Jenna, Marion, Spencer, Mona.
Rating: PG
Pairings: Toby/Spencer.
Warnings: References to non-con, but nothing explicit, if anything less explicit than stated in canon. Also reference to character death.
Notes: Any mistake in the American school system is my own (I am from England and am used to a different school system). I worked out the ages of Toby and Alison in the flashback from the fact that he tells Emily in The First Secret that Marion had been dead a year then and if I have it right that episode was set when the girls were in ninth grade, so given that Marion was alive in the flashback, eighth grade is the oldest they can have been. I was surprised to realise how young they'd actually have been then.
Summary: Sometimes, Toby forgot that he hadn't always been the class or family outcast.

( He'd never been the most popular guy in school. But sometimes Toby forgot that he hadn't always been the class outcast )

Title: M is for Memorial
Fandom: Pretty Little Liars
Characters: Alison DiLaurentis.
Rating: PG
