    Summary

    Therese is perfectly confident in their lovemaking; knows that she gives Carol exactly what she needs, and that nothing is missing between them. But that doesn’t mean they can’t have more.

    Summary

    A modern AU set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Expect a bit of a slow burn (and a rollercoaster of emotions). See an excerpt below:

    Suddenly, she came to the horrible realisation that this was it. She was really leaving, alone, her life condensed into a single backpack and a small suitcase, the only one she'd ever owned. She imagined Richard’s set lips and furrowed brow outside the window, his disapproving eyes watching her every move, watching her leave. She imagined him shrinking with the skyline until he became a tiny speck; a piece of dust she could blow away.

    York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh... It was really happening, wasn't it? Therese fished frantically for the train ticket in her pocket. Edinburgh, single, one-way. There was no return from this.

    Summary

    Maybe seeing me again is as inconsequential to her as running in to an acquaintance from high school. After all, it was such a brief relationship, not even a relationship at all, just a—a thing. And when I was reckless enough to tell her that I loved her? Radio silence. No reciprocity. Over the past three years, I’ve come to the conclusion that all the intensity of emotion was one-sided, and Therese was just a straight girl who got caught up in the illicit thrill of being pursued by an older woman...

     

    This is my take on the "Therese never went to the Oak Room" prompt, but make it a modern AU. Tell me if it's working for you. I'm feeling rusty.

    Summary

    Abby's 40th birthday party weekend is coming up but Carol's not too keen to show up for the festivities... She's NO DYKE after all, right? LOL. Luckily she comes up with a creative solution to fend off all unpleasant advances Abby's horny entourage might throw her way. Thank god for the all mighty Internet!

    Summary

    I’d like to think of this as a throwback to Patricia Highsmith’s noir genre. What if two ordinary people, Therese Belivet and Carol Aird, found themselves embroiled in events spinning rapidly out of control? Who is to be trusted? What is to be believed? Can one of them actually trust her lover’s memories of the events?

    Summary

    Unlike the others, this one registers at a 90%, far exceeding anything else that’s shown up in her inbox thus far. This woman’s profile picture is far less suggestive than her other so-called matches, her face half-covered by the professional camera she holds in front of it. Her hair is straight and dark and sits just below her jawline, and by the lack of fine lines at her eyes and mouth as she smiles, Carol guesses she can’t be much older than twenty-five. The public side of her profile is mostly bare except for a short self-written description that’s about as cryptic as Carol’s own.

    Flung out of space.

    Summary

    Carol is the director of a tech company and is gifted the unfortunate nickname of the 'blonde bloodhound' she is a steely and unapproachable woman who certainly lives up to her reputation. Therese applies for a position as Carol's PA and quickly realises why Carol burns through PA's by the week. The story centres around Therese's fascination with the uncompromising Carol Aird, and her ability to see beyond the sharpness and the coldness.
