Godzilla Girls - Keep Faith
"Godzilla Girls" by Kate Brauning is a YA queer f/f Halloween short story about first love, second love, and trick-or-treating. Come for the scary costumes, stay for the kissing!
Included in the anthology Keep Faith edited by Gabriela Martins:
Keep faith, in the broad sense of the word. It doesn't have to be a religion, unless you want it to be. It doesn't have to speak about the universe, unless you want it to. It doesn't have to be about anyone but yourself. Keep faith, in other planets and other houses; be it in the face of danger, grief, or while you spread your arms and laugh. Keep faith the same way you keep hope, bright and shiny, ever present. Keep faith in all your queer, beautiful self. Because you deserve it.
This is an anthology of 14 short stories, by 14 queer authors, where faith and queerness intersect. Incidental, purposeful, we-exist-and-that's-why queerness. And faith meaning whatever you want it to mean.

"Pick one," they'd said. "Dad or Mom."
"I'm nine," she'd said. "You pick."
They'd made her together. They could divide her together.
