Summary
Zosia barked out a sharp laugh, the sound grating against Carol’s ears. “Is that what I am?”
Carol slammed her palm harder against Zosia’s chest. The paper crumpled underneath the weight of it.
Zosia jerked backward into the desk, back bowing against the wood.
Carol leaned in, the movement unbidden and despite herself. Her voice was low, warm. “I could say more.”
Zosia glanced down to Carol’s mouth. Her lips parted. She shook her head. “Carol,” she breathed out.
“Zosia,” Carol murmured.
Zosia’s voice was strained, gravelly when she spoke. “The script —”Bookmarked by Leonorah

Summary
*Repost of original work. I wasnt happy with it. Enjoy the new version.*
I wasn't expecting this. I wasn't expecting my life to change like this.
I wasnt expecting to fall in love with a quiet dollmaker.
I wasn't expecting to have a family again who genuinely gave a damn about me.
Nor did I expect Mother Miranda to sink her claws into my life and try to tear away everything I hold dear.

Just a slow burn Bartender AU
Carol Sturka is a sad (possibly pathetic), usually drunk, grumpy 53 year old author. She spends 4-7 days a week hanging out at the local lesbian bar ‘The Hunnycomb’. Where she flirts, drinks and crushes hard… on the Bartender.
Zosia Wydra is that bartender. A ex model that is all smiles, hopelessly in love with Carol, and absolutely terrified of loosing a friendship. To make matters worse, she promised her best friend (Koumba) that she’d bring Carol as her date, but problem is… they aren’t together… yet.
Can they get their act together and finally go after what they want? Or will Carol’s insecurities from her past get in her way? Will Zosia finally takes what she wants?

Summary
For only a second, and maybe she imagined it, Carol thought she saw a glimmer of the most human expression Zosia had worn yet: annoyance.
“And you’ll still be working on reversing this?” Zosia asked.
“We wouldn’t be very good heroes if we didn’t, now would we?”

or: Carol and Manousos have found a way to (maybe) undo the apocalypse. They need a willing(?) participant to help their cause.

Summary
“Trust?” Zosia forced a humorless laugh. “That’s a pretty tall order. I don’t know anything about you.”
The woman considered this. She nodded, though it seemed mostly to herself.
“Okay, uh, what do you want to know?”
“To start, your name,” Zosia said. “And then maybe, I don’t know, why you’re here, what you do, a fun fact about yourself, things like that.”
The woman gave her an incredulous look.
“You wanna do fucking icebreakers right now?”
OR
Zosia gets unplurbed, and Carol has to be the guide through this insanity that she wishes she had while trapped in a one bedroom apartment and being probably madly in love with her.

Summary
“Ms Sturka, as a company we are very excited about your upcoming book tour and the opportunity to expand promotion of your latest release in the UK and Europe.”
She didn’t bother to nod, just staring back blankly at him.
“However, we’d really prefer to make this experience more…smooth sailing?”
Carol snorted. “I think for such stormy weather, the fact that we’ve not capsized should be celebration enough.”
He raised an arrogant eyebrow.
“We’d rather disagree with your assessment, Ms Sturka. After the… disaster that was your US book tour, we’ve decided the best course of action would be a change of management perhaps?”
OR
Novelist Carol Sturka is still grieving the loss of her beloved wife when the management at her publishing house force her to work with a new manager on her Europe/UK book tour after the disaster that was her US tour.

DETECTIVE AU
+
All you need to know is that Detective Carol Sturka is a little sad, a little sarcastic, and a little horny.
And Lieutenant Zosia Nowak is rude and hot.
+
“Are you always this insufferable?”
Zosia’s eyes widen almost indiscernibly.
“Careful, Detective,” she says lowly, taking a deliberate step forward. She places her hand on the metal bar next to Carol’s and their fingers brush together. Neither of them pulls away. She tilts her head down ever so slightly. “That almost sounds like a compliment.”

Summary
“Would you ever want this outside of a dream?” Lord Beneviento finally asked. At some point, she must have moved so she was laying pressed flush against you again, speaking into the back of your skull. Before you could begin to come up with a reply, you felt something twitch against your head where her eye would be.
Right.
“No.” You said honestly, your words beginning to slur as you succumbed to exhaustion, “I like this. You’re so warm. I still hate you, I’ve just… been slipping up lately.”
“You don’t have to hate me."
“Maybe not here,” you conceded, “but in real life…” you drifted off for a moment, watching the fireplace crackle and flicker, “this is the oddest dream I’ve ever had.”
“Maybe not here?” Lord Beneviento prompted.
“Maybe not here,” you hummed, your other hand coming up to run over the lord’s nails, picking at the chip in her polish. She let you.

Summary
She looks at you for a long, unreadable moment. Then, with a hesitant motion, her trembling hand rises to brush your cheek. You don’t stop her. You let her touch you, soft, fleeting, like she’s not sure she’s allowed. Your eyes remain fixed on her veil, staring at the place where her gaze must be, wondering what expression might be hidden beneath.
And for a heartbeat, you find yourself wishing—foolishly, desperately—that your gaze alone could make the veil fall away. That you could trace the shape of her face with your own fingers, and know her fully.Bookmarked by Leonorah
