    Summary

    When Riza is held hostage by Pride and Wrath, they take more from her than Roy could ever have imagined. After the Promised Day, Roy and Riza both break. Unexpected friendships bloom when they're assigned to rebuild the city of Rhiannh in Ishbal, and, slowly, they find their way back to each other.

    Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
    Grace tonight will pull us through
    Until the tears have left your eyes
    Until the fears can sleep at night
    Until the demons that you're scared of disappear inside
    Until this guilt begins to crack
    And the weight falls from your back
    Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight

    Summary

    Caitlyn Kiramman has spent her entire life under the crushing weight of high society expectations. As a rising lawyer from a wealthy Long Island family, she’s used to playing the part—until her mother demands she bring a “suitable” date to the Met Gala or face yet another arranged setup with one of New York’s elite bachelors. In a moment of defiance, Caitlyn blurts out a lie: she already has a girlfriend.

    Enter Vi—an underground MMA fighter from Manhattan who couldn’t care less about wealth, reputation, or Caitlyn’s perfectly controlled world. Desperate to sell the illusion, Caitlyn makes Vi an offer she can’t refuse: pretend to be her girlfriend for six months, attend a few events, and collect a generous payout. Easy money.

    Except nothing is ever that easy.

    Between staged dates in Central Park, public kisses that feel a little too real, and Vi looking obscenely good in a tux at the Met, Caitlyn starts to wonder if maybe—just maybe—she’s in over her head. But when family interference and unspoken fears threaten to unravel everything, Caitlyn and Vi are left with one final question:

    Was it all just an act? Or was it real all along?

    Summary

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    He can't really believe he's doing this. With her. During the cold, freezing night, in a forsaken tent, in Ishval. When earlier that day, he almost died, when earlier he thought he'd never see her again. Now here she was, real and alive, and all for him to cherish and love. He wants to make her first time special, but how special could it really be, with him smelling like burning corpses, a bleeding wound in his shoulder and shaky, anxious hands. And yet… she's so gorgeous, so wonderful, he can't care less where they are, how he looks. Her naked form, sprawled out on the cot, with glimmers of dust blown in from outside, is all he's ever dreamed of…
