Summary
Sometimes you are a little in love with your oldest, closest friend. Sometimes she’s a little in love with you too.
Giselle and Trinity aren’t dating—they’ve come close a handful of times but always just managed to stay their orbits and avoid collision course. They aren’t dating, but it’s not that sad a thing.

Summary
"Hey, no homo, but I am sitting on the broken swing set out back in the perfect, quiet, 2:00am blackness and picturing the softness of your voice and the darkness of your eyes with such perfect and terrible clarity that it feels like I’m choking on my own heartbeat." - tumblr@c3rvida3

Summary
They were married off to each other by provincial government, an arrangement all political. Somewhere along the way, Bryce catches more personal feelings. Somewhere along the way, Gideon does too. These two periods do not overlap.

Summary
Giselle used to speak French. (Emmeline was the one who taught her, she would know). They'd traded French for English and conversations for a kind of understanding.
Now Giselle doesn’t.

Summary
Don’t date your students. It’s just a bad idea.
-
It’s been fifty years and it still isn’t fair. Laurel and Georgia barely say a thing to her before they leave and then they’re gone and gone. At least once a month Giselle’s chest shudders through that old stinging, throbbing, hurt.
Weary and cynical, Giselle isn’t really looking for a new someone to break her heart again—That changes the day she passes one of Cordelia’s new students in front of Roddick. An ordinary human girl. But this girl sounds a smidge like Laurel and looks a dash like Georgia and the way she laughs makes Giselle’s heart hurt to bursting.
A barely tempered grief rears its head again, fierce. Before she can blink, think, breathe, Giselle is stepping forward and grabbing almost-Laurel-Georgia’s wrist and introducing herself and stringing together any words that she thinks might convince this girl to stay this time.
They start dating two weeks later. It spirals downhill from there.
-
McGill going for a rebound, dating this human girl who reminds her of Loyola College and Sir George Williams University and nobody in Montreal is too happy with her about it.
