Summary
Five years after losing her wife, Carol Sturka has built a quiet life by the coast: hands busy, heart carefully guarded, love poured into animals and things she can fix.
Zosia Kosłowska arrives in town running from expectations, from a future already decided for her, and from a desire she has never allowed herself to name.This is a slow story about grief, restraint, late blooming, and the kind of wanting that learns to speak through hands, silence, and time.

Summary
After the end of the world becomes a logistical problem, Carol finds herself living amidst vodka and a sky that refuses to stay dark.
Every night, the city lights go out when she looks at the stars at a specific point. Every night, she pretends it means nothing.
Zosia should be unreachable now — for Carol's own good — but instead, Zosia watches her from above, bound by the rules Carol strives to uphold and also bound by a “love” Carol seems unable to extinguish.

Summary
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?

And if Sophie still dreams about Margo some nights - most nights - so what?
It doesn’t have to mean anything.
And, even if it does, nobody needs to know.
