    Summary

    Editing and reading books is what she does for a living. Even when they're the most inane drivel one could put to paper. Even when it's the tawdry and brazen erotica variety. Even when Harrow actually secretly enjoys them.

    Even the ones from her most trying client, the somewhat acclaimed erotic book author Gideon Nav.

    Which she'd rather die than admit to.

    Summary

    You had your body and I had mine, and it was a miracle. Your hands against my face were a miracle. The rest of your meat attached to your hands was a prayer answered and a promise broken, but we were flush and gasping and alive, and Harrow—I really thought you might’ve kissed me then.

    But I felt it happen. The way your breath suddenly stilled, and your body locked up beneath mine, remembering. How with splintering gentleness, you pushed me away.

    “I’m so sorry,” was the second thing you said upon waking.

    The first thing had been my name.

    Stranded in a safehouse on an Edenite moon, Gideon and Harrow try to put themselves back together.

    Summary

    "You’re a virgin,” Gideon said, testing it out. "Huh."

    Harrow didn’t like the sound of that huh. She knew Gideon’s noises, and that was a thoughtful, sinister huh. That was the same huh she’d made before putting canned tuna in Crux’s work boots.

    Her eyes narrowed. “What.”

    Gideon cocked her head to the side. “Is there a reason you’re waiting?” There was no judgement in the question— only genuine curiosity.

    Perhaps it was this that made Harrow more inclined to answer. “I don’t have the time to look for someone new,” She shrugged. “And my available pool is… somewhat limited.”

    “Well,” Gideon said, with just a hint of conspiracy in those glittering golden eyes. “If you ever want to change that, you have my number.”

    What? What?

    Harrow blinked. “What?”

    Or: the five times Gideon and Harrow successfully bone, and the one time they don't.

    Summary

    The war is over, and the Spire Accords have ushered in a fragile peace. Rebuilding lives and trust is just as challenging as the battles fought.

    Adora and Catra join their old squadmates at a settlement camp on the edge of former Horde territory, where displaced families and rescued children struggle to recover.

    While Catra works to bridge the gap between the Horde and the Alliance to prevent new hostilities, Adora wrestles with the guilt she has yet to process fully. Together, they face the difficult task of mending fractured bonds and building a future from the ruins of the past.

    Summary

    “What’s with the sword theme?” She asks.
    “Aiglamene likes swords.” The walls of Scabbards are leaden with them, replicas of swords, pictures of swords, a suit of armor off in a corner holding–you guessed it–a sword.
    “So why not call the bar ‘Swords’?”
    “Well,” Gideon is only a little delighted that she’s asked this. “Imagine a sword is a dick, then a scabbard must be a–”
    “Ah.”
    “‘Pussys’ would be too on the nose for a lesbian bar, so Scabbards it is.” Gideon leans forward, hands on the counter and a conspiratorial tone in her voice. “You do know you’re in a lesbian bar, right?”
    “Yes, Griddle. I have eyes and critical thinking skills.” Harrow takes another too-big drink.
    “I didn’t know nuns went to lesbian bars.” Gideon says, to be a shit.

    Or: I was just gonna write a fun little thing about Gideon being a bartender and a drummer because I find both of those things attractive, and then 2k of tragic catholic guilt attached itself to Harrow like a revenant, so shit got angsty.
    There'll be porn in later chapters, I promise.

    Summary

    In less than a week, Gideon would be surrounded at any moment by goggling children and fawning women, and their interactions would consist of Gideon winking at Harrow from over the heads of her entourage as she took endless selfies. It was excruciating to watch, but at the moment, felt preferable to watching Gideon awkwardly scratch her head and ask “How’s stall set-up going?” as if it would ever be possible for the two of them to have a normal conversation.

    ****

    It’s Harrow’s last year selling bone jewelry at the Dominicus Renaissance Faire before she finishes her PhD. Which means one last summer putting up with Sir Gideon, the obnoxious knight that’s been a thorn in Harrow’s side for the past three years. Except, Harrow made out with her at last year’s end of season party, and things have only gotten more complicated since then.

    Summary

    It's the late 1980s, and Welsh country girl Adora has found herself in a London ballet studio at the demand of her modelling agent. While she thinks she's going to gain improved posture, what she actually gets is a big crush and a massive gay awakening, thanks to ballerina and burlesque dancer Catra.

    Light 1980s angst with a happy (and hopefully historically plausible) ending inspired by Sammy Rae & The Friends' awesome song 'Jackie Onassis' .

    ---

    “This is what I get for listening to my agent,” Adora grumbles under her breath, “Improve your posture, my arse.”

    “Nothing wrong with your arse,” Adora startles as a playful voice seeps into her ear and she feels the bristle of another woman’s hair on her shoulder, “Posture is another story, though.”

    Adora can only gape open-mouthed as she watches a slight brunette saunter past her and work her way to the very front of the class. It’s impossible to look away from her smooth complexion and dark brown waves - Adora thinks her hair might be natural, not even a blow-out - but when the woman starts to stretch, her leg propped high on the barre, heat prickles inexplicably across Adora’s chest.

    Summary

    Something wipes at her face, cold fingertips brushing away the soil from her brow. Her eyes, tired and damp with the remnants of tears and mud, open, and she finds herself in the arms of an angel.

    A psychopomp, ready to finish the job someone had failed to complete.

    Ivory hair falls over the psychopomp’s face, and she’s dressed in white. Catra had always thought the grim reaper would greet her dressed in black.

    -

    Catra works towards solving her own murder with the help of the witch who brought her back to life.

    Summary

    Ten years passed since Adora and Catra had last seen each other, a happy childhood spent together cut short by a horrible tragedy in Adora's life.
    Back in their original home town, she finds herself a music professor at a prestigious college where memories haunt her every move. Guilt from what happened takes her to the orchestra, where she finds a familiar face and a rush of emotions from when they were young.
    Adora has no choice but to come to terms with what happened in order to move on. At the same time, Catra has no choice but to face the feelings she'd let go when Adora abandoned her all those years ago.
    Together, they rebuild what had been torn down, brick by brick. Finding new trust means to forgive. Making new memories means accepting the old ones.
    The only thing they knew for sure was that they weren't going to let go again.

    Summary

    "I saw the witch last night,” Adora announces. “When I fell out of the car, I heard something. Like this…buzzing. A static. And then I saw a face, a woman’s face, screaming. She was so angry. And then things started flashing, like visions, and I saw a book and a tree and then her again."

    Entrapta giggles madly, spinning her binder towards them. "I knew it! The witch is real!”

    Before them is a crude depiction of a woman cutting off her hand, surrounded by rocks and a large tree with a noose hanging from it. Blood and fire pool around her feet, and it almost looks like she has devil horns.

    “C’yra Fier was hanged for witchcraft in 1666 — that’s a fact. You can look it up in any of the town’s historical ledgers. Ever since then, she’s been possessing innocent people and turning them into slaves to get revenge on the town that killed her.”

    -

    After a catastrophic breakup and Adora moving away, her and Catra are no longer on speaking terms. But when a sudden accident leads Adora to have a sinister vision, they become entangled in an ancient witch’s curse. A curse that refuses to release its grip on them…until their hearts stop beating.

    The fiend isn't the Catra that drew in the margins of Adora's notebooks, or threw snowballs while they were waiting for the bus, or came down to Adora's bunk when it was too cold and quiet to sleep alone.

    Summary

    She runs a hand down her best friend’s side, taking advantage of the way her shirt rode up to pet her there. Suddenly, Cat tenses, her tail fluffing up in a way that used to tell Adora she might get clawed. She looks down at Cat warily.

    "No, you just—you touched it." She says gently, eyes darting away in embarrassment.

    Adora drops her hand as if she's been burned. She doesn't need her to elaborate further to know what she's stumbled on. The name of whatever lucky girl will get to call Cat hers forever. She bites her lip to keep from asking if she'd ever thought about the name Catra.

    Every time Cat tried a new name it felt like it was getting closer and closer—Cassidy, Caitlin, Katherine—and her heart dropped every time Cat tried on another name that wasn't the one embossed on her shoulder.

    Catra and Adora have known their soulmate's name since they are sixteen. If only the names matched who they felt they belonged to. Soulmate AU from a trans perspective.

    Summary

    Adora doesn’t look at me. She just smiles and stares out at the valley. “We’re going to do so much for the Horde. You’re going to be singing in the High Choir and writing hymnals, and I’ll be charged with a Seminary—oh! Or on a Sojourn… teaching our histories to all of Etheria and sharing Prime’s Light…”

    She makes it sound almost whimsical. But it’s not.

    I bite my lip. “If you’re on a Sojourn we’ll never get to see each other.”

    She finally looks up at me and she frowns. I almost feel bad for taking her smile away. “I don’t have to submit for a Sojourn. It was just an idea.” She pulls her arm from my shoulders but lays her hand next to mine and grazes the back of it with her fingertips. “Who knows, maybe I’d be considered for Priesthood.”

    I laugh, trying to shake my nerves. I don’t like the idea of Adora going away or being a priestess. If Adora becomes a priestess then—then we can’t—

    I shake the thought. That’s stupid. Adora wouldn’t… she wouldn’t want that anyway.

    OR The Horde is a church that Adora and Catra are in training to serve in and then it all goes to hell when She-Ra shows up.
