Pairing: Nathan/Anna
Rating: Teen
Summary:

Anna’s never been to New Orleans. What better way to spend her first night than at a lounge enjoying good food, good drinks, good music, and unexpected good company?

Life Swap AU for AU Yeah August.
Author’s Note: This is an AU based off the original story I’ve been working on. I’m no where close to publishing it (or even finishing the first draft), but I decided on a whim that this could be fun and I had a blast. 

If you want information: Nathan is my werewolf and you can read his current introduction here. (And here is his first introduction in my head, should you be interested.) Anna is a human, though writing this drabble helped me finalize a few things about her backstory that were previously hazy. You can find everything pertaining to this work under this tag and it’s also what I was working on when I participated in Camp Nano in April.

I think that’s all I have posted, so here you go!
