    Summary

    Zoey's eyes widen a fraction while she waits for an answer, hair tumbling out of place as she tilts her head sideways and Mira becomes acutely aware that she's mesmerized by a woman she's known for less than an hour.

    Her lips curve upwards and Mira wonders how a smile can look so at home on someone's face.

    She's fucked. Utterly and completely fucked.

    - or -

    Dancer and professional lovergirl Mira meets Zoey, owner of Ink & Honey during a typhoon. She walks away that evening wondering if Zoey really is sunshine personified or if she's simply lonely and latching on to any warmth and kindness sent her way.

    When she meets Zoey's long-term queer platonic partner and horror video game icon Ryu Rumi and their daughter Hana, she thinks she's in over her head - if she can't keep a family of her own, what right does she have to destroy someone else's?

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    "'We are not calling our child Mary Jane.'

    'First off, it’s a bag of flour. Second, it’s a sick-ass name.'

    'No. And you're the one who said it was a boy!'

    'Fine, then. What do you want to call it?'

    'Something classy. Respectable. Maybe… Edmund?'

    'No fucking way.'"

    OR:

    Lottie and Nat are paired up in class to take care of a flour baby for a week. Chaos (and gayness) ensues!

    Summary

    Nat doesn’t know quite why but she has the urge to cling onto Lottie and never let go. Its not a lesbo thing – really—its not. There’s something at once, vulnerable and mysterious, foreboding and serenely calm in Lottie. Her inscrutable expression and those deep black eyes. And sure, some lustful, possessive and perverted part in Nat wants to pin her to the ground but that’s… just… normal these days.

     

    Or

     

    It's Lottie's birthday and she has an urgent request of Nat.
