    Summary

    It wasn’t an earth-shattering kaboom, or an upheaval of her life, or any other dramatic nonsense she’d heard from Jayce and Viktor, from Claggor and Mylo about the searching for and the discovering of love. It wasn’t this moment of lucidity, a thunderstrike of passion and feeling that overcame her senses and pointed her home. If anything, it was understated, quiet, a simple pleasure.

    It was an exhalation.

    Summary

    Blake is slowly guided towards Yang and is pulled into a loving kiss. Blake’s soft delicate lips touch chapped ones, they taste like honey. Her eyes flutter shut as Yang’s hand slowly reaches towards her hair to make their kiss deeper. She tastes tears from Yang.

     

    They kiss for what seems like forever but Yang’s hand slowly slips from her hair, her body isn’t pressed against Blake’s anymore, then she stops kissing. Blake opens her eyes to see Yang's face. Peaceful. Her head is hanging, smiling with her eyes closed, dried tear marks streaming across her face.

     

    “Yang?! Yang, wake up!”

    Summary

    Blake turns to the soundboard and slides the song’s volume down, turning up the mic’s. She takes a breath and conjures her radio voice, low and resonant in her throat.
     
    “Hey there. You are listening to Nightshade on OZPN 96.7 FM Beacon College Radio….”

    Summary

    It’s not a secret that Blake’s read too many romance novels.

    You’ll give yourself brain rot, Weiss used to say, wrinkling her nose in distaste if she walked into the dorm to find Blake sprawled out reading in a sunbeam. I’m immune, Blake would counter with a lazy shrug, not missing a beat.

    It’s possible she overestimated herself. But it’s not—it’s not brain rot to have robust expectations, or a high standard or two. Is it really so bad, to want to give Yang a first time that’s novel-worthy? Privacy and an actual mattress feels like the least they should aim for.

    Even now, past the end of the world.

    [Or: bees, from first kiss to first time.]

    Summary

    Yang Xiao Long has been taking care of her sibling ever since their father lost his way after their mother’s death.

    But when Ruby Rose receives a scholarship to Beacon, Yang finds herself in an empty apartment, with an awful job and feeling more alone than ever before. At her sibling’s encouragement, Yang makes the decision to be truly selfish for the first time, leading her on an adventure of a lifetime when she books a visit to Belladonna Wildlife Sanctuary and meets one Blake Belladonna during her stay…

    Is this a holiday romance? Or could it be something more?

    Summary

    She kisses Yang back just as furiously, teeth biting on her bottom lip hard enough to hurt, and when they part her swollen lip is the only thing Blake’s able to comprehend - how pretty Yang looks without her cocky smile, when her mouth is relegated to other things and can’t fucking speak. How pretty she looks when she’s so close Blake can barely see the details, cataloging the sun setting against a lavender sky and the tip of her tongue slipping out to wet her lips. Oh, but that’s later; they’ll deny this, first. It’s just better for business.

    What, Yang says, do I look like I'm made of money?

    Yes, Blake thinks of saying. Yes, you kind of do. Like the world owes you just for living.

    Summary

    There are a few things Yang knows for sure: nothing beats a fresh snowfall; all skiers are total nerds; her sister has never done anything wrong in her entire life; and every single time Blake Belladonna smiles at her, she feels like she’s at the top of her favorite slope, heart in her throat, board hanging over the edge. (She also knows that, someday soon, she’s going to have to do something about that last one.)

    Summary

    Blake looks at her and swears she can see the particles of the universe settling, can see them laid out and miraculous like a map of fates for gods, can see the stars all spinning at her from underneath a sky that could very well be a dark, murky ocean. The truth is that it's been six years of too much fear and not enough skin. This is the anatomy of breaking down.

    Date me, Yang says, which seems like a great idea at the time.

    Summary

    “Let me get this straight. You broke up with Sun on the night of your six-month anniversary, after he spent hundreds of dollars to impress you, just because you got some texts from a total stranger?”
    Weiss stares at her, an eyebrow lifted so high it’s lost behind her bangs, and then she cracks up in the loudest laugh Blake ever heard coming out of her.
    “Oh. My. God. And they say I’m the ice queen bitch!”

    Summary

    AU: Yang's never been the kind of person to pick up hitchhikers, but most hitchhikers don't end up in the middle of the desert with no water. Blake might as well have been dropped there by aliens.

    You can come as far as you want with me. Maybe we'll find our way home.

    Summary

    It’s been a year but Yang knows her, knows what her body means in the way it moves, knows every tilt of her mouth, every blink, every beat of her heart, every chamber of it, the way it bruises and bleeds and bumps against her chest. I’ve lived there, Yang thinks of telling her, please let me leave. But Blake is silent and doesn’t move.

    The truth is easy for Yang to see until it isn't. I love you, Blake says. It's the only reason I've ever done anything.

    There you go, Yang says, lying again.

    Summary

    She watched Mike as he finally levelled with her, both elbows on the table. There was no point in trying to distract him any further. She’d been increasingly all over the place in trying to hide how the aftermath was treating her over the last few weeks and in that moment she sensed the jig was finally up.

    “Nance, I’m kind of worried about you.”
