Summary
“Cars don’t crash through fences for free,” Rio replied smoothly, shrugging. “But,” she continued, eyes glinting, “I’ll make you an offer. You cover just the cost of parts—let’s call it a grand—and I’ll throw in the labor for free.”
Agatha frowned, knowing there had to be a catch. “And what exactly do you want in return?”
Rio leaned back against the workbench, arms folded and expression deceptively casual. “Dinner with me.”OR: Agatha is making her way cross country when she wrecks her car. There's only one shop in town ran by a deeply irritating and magnetic mechanic. She offers a discount on the work in exchange for dinner. Then she really puts in the body work (heyo).

Summary
Sameen Shaw doesn't just need a job; she needs a purpose. Her BFF, Fusco, is convinced of it, so he asks his pal, John Reese to allow her to interview for job of bodyguard for Samantha "Root" Groves. Only because he's doing Fusco a favor, does John pass Shaw along to Root's overly protective uncle, Harold Finch. He's impressed with Shaw, although he's not quite sure why. He passes her on to his niece to make the final decision. Root's interview consists of tazing, drugging, and kidnapping Shaw to get to her to accept the position of bodyguard. She's never met anyone like Shaw, and Shaw has never met anyone who gets under her skin as badly as Root.
Promise - in spite of its length, it's an easy read.
PS I forgot to mention - I borrowed every Shaw-Root line from the talented writers of POI.Series

Summary
“Rio,” Agatha breathes, the first name slipping out of her as if by accident.
Rio smiles, unable to help herself. “Miss me?”
Agatha’s face curves into an answering grin, predatory, a “yes” that she will never say aloud.
“Come to drop the lawsuit?” she asks instead.
“In your dreams,” Rio says.
“Oh, Agent Vidal, my dreams are far more interesting than that.”

More or less.

Summary
When I was a teen and first reading the Tortall books, this was my only fanfic. I had taken the characters and plot and dumped them into a universe of my own making. That universe didn’t have gods who interfered in the way canon-verse does, and resulted in some AU pairings. This spring, when I started thinking about putting this on AO3, I thought it would be more accessible if I brought it back into the canon-verse, particularly since I’ve lost the original story for my verse that explained the geography, history, and politics. I’ve cut out a bunch of the boring canon-rewrite scenes that were necessary in my own verse but are suitably covered in canon, so it’s best to approach these as a collection of missing scenes, rather than a continuous story. I’ll put commentary on the stories where they come into play but the two main non-canonical pairings that I couldn’t fix are Keladry of Mindelan / Nealan of Queenscove & Alianne of Pirate’s Swoop / Taybur Sibigat. I don’t recommend subscribing to the series just yet – I’m about to dump >700 pages of fanfic on AO3. If you want actual new content (should any materialize), subscribe once you see “The Grandkids”.

Summary
Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.
Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

Summary
“Seven times?” Deborah drops the pillow, staring at Ava in disbelief. “Oh fuck off, Ava, even if those basketball hands were battery operated you couldn’t—”
“Okay so first of all,” Ava interrupts, raising one finger right in front of Deborah’s face, “I have a lot more tools at my disposal than my freakishly long fingers, which, by the way, no one has ever complained about.”
or, the one where Deborah is skeptical, Ava has a reputation to maintain, and things get out of hand.

Bookmarker's Notes
I obviously can’t read cuz when I got to the bottom and f this chapter I was desperately searching for the “next chapter” button! Needless to say - I’m very much looking forward to part two!
That being said though, just these 5000 words were hot and gorgeous enough, the actually smut is almost unnecessary. Almost ;)
