Summary
I’ll never leave you, even if it’s me. Yang makes a promise in spite of fate; fate makes her regret it.
Eight teenagers run away from home, bound by a duty to return for a ritual in which one of their lives will be traded for the rest of the world’s peace. At least, that’s what they’ve been led to believe since birth: Be strong, be smart, and be alone. If you are to die, it is an honor.
Or maybe it’s a lie.
Eight teenagers run away from home, and upon returning nine years later, they’ve broken a few too many rules to go quietly.
(Blake thought she was seeing things, then. Thought she loved a girl so much she made her a god, mythologized her, created a folktale so gorgeous and enormous it’d surpass the one they actually lived in. Now she knows she wasn’t.)

Summary
AU: Blake Belladonna was bad luck. At least, this was Adam’s excuse when their crops began to fail. She was a curse, he liked to say. She began to dread each moment spent alone with him, and how quickly his eyes would flash with anger. Blake wasn’t a superstitious woman, but after a while, it was hard not to feel like she was cursed. Maybe he had a point.
But curses weren’t the only superstition in their village. One night, Blake heard a sweet song echoing through the valley. Blake had never heard of a banshee before, but she couldn’t believe that such a beautiful song could be an omen of death. There had to be more to it than that. So it was refreshing, to meet someone who agreed with her.
“You know,” Yang remarked, tilting her head thoughtfully. “You almost make me want to sing.”

Summary
She’s staring at Blake like she’s giving up, like she loves her, like she’s handing her that sky. Take this, she’s saying, this clap of thunder, this wildfire waiting to start. Take this like it’s my heart.
Blake runs away, and only after realizes what she's been running to. I've seen enough destruction, Yang says. Sometimes it's nice just to watch the flowers bloom.

Summary
All her life, Laura's wanted to see the stars and fill in every corner of the soulmate map growing across her skin. So she finds a rickety ship and a misfit crew to do just that; what she hadn’t counted on was Carmilla swaggering on board and blackmailing herself into the co-pilot seat.
After 300 years, Carmilla only wants to run away from the Mother chasing her across the universe. Her soulmate tattoo, long gone dark, hardly matters as she blackmails her way onto some rundown ship that's perfect for slipping to the edges of space unnoticed. She just hadn’t counted on Laura discovering the dragon that she'd hidden in the ship's cargo bay and kidnapping her.
When black holes start appearing from nowhere to swallow worlds, Laura’s determined to investigate. Carmilla's determined to be anywhere else.
