Summary
Robby walks out of the Pitt on the Fourth of July with his life shrunk down into two bags and finds himself in the dark--in an an apartment already stripped of everything his, trapped in his own head, in a maelstrom of guilt and regret.
Then Jack's texts arrive. And his last reason to stay dissolves.
He has always been the problem. Now he is going to do something about it.
Miles away, Jack answers a phone call in the middle of the night. Could he pull Robby back before it's too late? And what will be the cost of survival?Bookmarked by GermaineThePain

Summary
This is about a younger woman (reader) going over to an older woman's house and ~stuff going from there, but really I don't do a lot of character description so you could probably read it as whatever F/F you want. This is something I wrote for myself about someone specific. It's not supposed to be realistic. I've only made minor edits (like the name of the woman).

Summary
At Twenty, Robin has nothing to lose. Orphaned, overlooked, and barely scraping by, she stumbles into an open audition for the country’s most cutthroat cooking show, ‘The Flame’ and shocks everyone, including herself, when she lands a coveted spot.
But inside the glittering studio kitchens and high-stakes challenges, advancing isn’t just about food.
One of the judges, a brutal, magnetic food critic takes a troubling interest in Robin. Under her praise simmers something possessive, consuming. At the same time a rival contestant icy and unflinching, sees Robin as both a threat and a temptation. She plays dirty, and she plays to win. Even if it means crossing lines Robin didn’t know existed.
Caught between ambition, manipulation, and an intimacy she’s never known how to want, Robin must decide what she’s willing to give up to stay in the game... and what she’s willing to give in for.
Or ‘Cooking show Lesbians.'

Summary
“You may find this hard to believe,” she said with a bemused little smile, “but I’ve never been served tea by a skeleton before.”
“He’s quite precise, isn’t he?” Emmrich replied, taking a sip. “Ah, brewed to perfection once more, Manfred.”

Summary
Cassandra and Varric. Never before has Bull met two people who so badly need to fuck out their issues – they practically radiate furious lust whenever they come within five feet of each other, not that either of them seem to have noticed. But that isn’t any of his business. He’s just here to get paid, after all.
It’s the Inquisition’s worst kept secret – there’s something going on between Varric and Cassandra, even if no-one can exactly agree on what it is. But everyone’s got an opinion, and not everyone is great at keeping it to themselves…
A multi-perspective fic of Varric and Cassandra as seen through the eyes of everyone around them. Gossip, plotting, ill-advised schemes and awkward flirting in every far-flung corner of Thedas. Dragon Age Inquisition is basically a workplace rom-com.

Summary
Varric has perhaps bitten off more than he can chew with the Seeker. After losing Hawke at Adamant Fortress, he decides to spin a new tale for Cassandra in the hopes of making an unlikely friend. But can his latest story develop into something more between them, or will his past come back to bite him in the ass?
A winding tale of will they/won't they, spanning across the latter half of events in DA:I. Some non-canon twists occur to keep anyone from getting too comfortable/bored with the general plotline of the game.

Summary
Amber can most certainly take care of herself. She likes the help when she needs it, but what she hates more than anything else is feeling sorry for herself.
During an already incredibly stressful day, on the brink of a breakdown, someone storms up to her, making an already bad day, much, much worse. She can't forgive him for making her feel as vulnerable as she did.
Months later, Amber has finally been able to reopen herself to the rest of the staff. Well, all but one.
She still won't shake her grudge, despite her previous notions about him being tested every day.
Soon, she has to face that she and everyone around them might have been severely misunderstanding the brash man, that he has a much bigger story behind him than he's ever let on. And she might have to come to terms that her feelings may have evolved out of her control.Bookmarked by GermaineThePain

Summary
The burning stopped as soon as Elizabeth's agent ushered her outside but Borgov remained in his place for a few seconds more, not allowing the feeling of the crowd dissecting him on the spot for a moment's weakness to get to him. Now he was certain the woman will destroy him, his image in the eyes of the union, perhaps his entire career, in the upcoming match. And the mere possibility of letting her do it - fighting her fairly and respectfully, yes, but eventually bowing down for her to knock the crown off of his head - ignited a strange, alien flame under his ribs.

Summary
When her mother deliberately crashes their car, it ends Beth’s life as she knows it and strands her at Methuen Home. She has yet to learn of the chain of events this will set in motion. The one that will start with her introduction to the world of chess, give her a new mother, and take her far beyond the borders of Lexington.
As she works her way towards the very centre of that world, she meets numerous other people along the way. But among weak opponents, friendships, rivalries, and hardships there is one person who sticks out from among them all. Vasily Borgov, the intimidating World Champion from the Soviet Union with a face that is much harder to read than the sixty-four squares he rules over, catches her eyes from the start and she finds it impossible to look away.
Or, we follow Beth through canon and into the years beyond as she struggles with finding her place in the world, creating bonds with others, and substance abuse, but also finds the good things in life, such as success, friendship, and love.
