Summary
Yang Xiao-Long wasn't exactly ashamed of her semblance. Yeah, it can make her a cold-hearted bitch and sometimes drives people away, but it can be powerful in its own right.
That doesn't make her any less confused. What was the universe on when it made her soul-manifested power the ability to remove her own heart?

Summary
Sometimes the darkness she crossed an ocean and a continent to escape sneaks between the cracks and threatens to drag Blake down. Sometimes she feels like she’s speaking in a different language, or walks on a slightly different plane of existence from the people around her. Ilia says Blake is doing ok— but if she is, why is it so hard for her to talk to the beautiful girl who comes into the coffee shop? And why can’t she find a model for her final thesis portfolio?
Yang clings fiercely to her public image, even the not-so-flattering parts of it. She does her best to ignore her sister and Pyrrha, who tell her that she deserves something more than just living day to day. The accident that marked the end of her old life and the start of the new left painful scars on her body and her heart. Maybe life is better if it’s simple.
She’s about to find out that being friends (or something more) with a strange, cute barista is about as far from simple as she can get.When you get down to it, we all have our faults. It’s what you do with them that people remember.

Summary
AU: Yang can’t imagine a life that isn’t spent on the ocean. She lives and breathes the salty air, and feels right at home aboard the Huntress, where she spends her days catching fish. As much as she loves the ocean, though, she’s long accepted that she’ll never know every secret the ocean has to offer. The vast waters will always hold its mysteries, and Yang is content enough just to live on its surface and never question what lies beneath.
This all changes when Yang hauls something unexpected out of the water. Blake Belladonna is every mystery Yang’s never thought about, every fairy tale come to life. She’s beautiful and alluring, and something about her calls to Yang. But Blake has secrets of her own, secrets that just might prove more threatening than the ocean itself.
But for the first time, Yang wants to take that plunge and uncover all of them.

Summary
AU: Blake is disillusioned: with her career in the White Fang Ballet, with her oppressive boyfriend and ballet master, and her life in general. A chance visit to the Shattered Moon Circus, however, introduces her to trapeze artist and aerial dancer Yang, who offers to teach Blake how to fly. As she learns to let go and trust in the people who catch her, she falls in more ways than one when it comes to Yang.
“Blake,” Sienna says, calmly. “Have you lost your goddamn mind?”
And maybe she has. After all, Blake can't just run away and join the circus.
