Think Me Not Cruel by KannaOphelia for Arithanas
Fandoms: Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu
02 Nov 2013
Tags
Summary
"In the rapture of my enormous humiliation I live in your warm life, and you shall die—die, sweetly die—into mine. I cannot help it; as I draw near to you, you, in your turn, will draw near to others, and learn the rapture of that cruelty, which yet is love; so, for a while, seek to know no more of me or mine, but trust me with all your loving spirit."

Make thy life shudder in thee, and burn afresh by beyonces_fiancee
Fandoms: Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu
29 May 2015
Tags
Summary
At her urging, I continued shakily, "Thy flower-sweet fingers, good to bruise or bite… as—as honeycomb of the inmost honey-cells…" Carmilla half-sat up to rest her chin on my shoulder; I could feel her feminine figure draped heavily against my back. I felt surrounded by her, engulfed in her. Her fingertips tickled down the nape of my neck, rising a shiver in my blood, and the printed page swam beneath my gaze as she stroked the skin below my collarbone—and lower, and lower.
Laura discloses to a sympathetic listener the intimate details of her relationship with Carmilla.

Summary
“I have often placed my hands under it, and laughed with wonder at its weight. It was exquisitely fine and soft, and in color a rich very dark brown, with something of gold. I loved to let it down, tumbling with its own weight, as, in her room, she lay back in her chair talking in her sweet low voice, I used to fold and braid it and spread it out and play with it. Heavens! If I had but known all!” — Carmilla, Section IV

Yield an Advantage by chantefable for KannaOphelia
Fandoms: Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu
23 Dec 2021

Summary
I blinked, lost in the delicious haze, but my audacious angel was gone. Where was she? I sought her slim figure, and there she was, in an arm’s reach, beckoned by her mother. I trailed along, weak in my knees and weak in my mind.

An Opaque Reverie by chantefable for chicleeblair
Fandoms: Carmilla - J. Sheridan Le Fanu
26 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
Carmilla. Millarca. Mircalla.
Over and over again, I repeated her name in my mind. I had taken to this habit in the days following the horrible occurrence at the ruined church; I would recite her name in different ways, like a lullaby, but it failed to attract any true slumber. Only a sickly, sticky reverie would come over me, wearying my body instead of replenishing it.
Still, I would not and could not stop.

you did something to me by artemiswords
Fandoms: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)
27 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
“Seriously, Adora. All that money for, like, holding hands in front of a camera? It can’t get easier than that. You endured me for like, ten years? I’m sure you can power through these four weeks.” She gets up and leans on the back of her chair, getting closer to Adora’s face. “Just don’t fuck it up and we’ll be fine.”
Adora scowls at her and forces herself to not start another argument. Catra ignores it and turns away.
“See ya later, girlfriend.” She says over her shoulder.
Girlfriend. Adora shudders at that word.
Only after Catra is gone Adora remembers they didn’t even plan anything out. She closes her eyes and rubs her temples again, taking another deep breath. Four weeks of pretending to be Catra’s girlfriend. Those are about to be the longest weeks of her life.
