Summary
“Is this a…sex thing?” Rhaenyra asked tentatively, though again she could recall no such things being discussed—not recently, anyway. “Because I feel like we’ve actually done most of what there is to do.”
Alicent huffed, glaring at her plate. Rhaenyra bit back a smile.
“No, Rhaenyra,” she said, a little tersely, then took a deep breath. “We should get married.”Series

Summary
She no longer tallies days like coins. In this humble rhythm of hearth and harvest, beginnings blur—each kiss, each word unspooled from the loom of chronology. A hand grazing a knee, fingertips skimming the edge of a scar, dawn’s light fraying through unbound hair—each moment reigns sovereign, unshackled from hour or season. Yet when she combs Alicent’s locks each morning, her fingers snag on silver threads gilding the auburn like moonlight on a widow’s braid, and Time—that sly, relentless thief—finds her anyway.
Or;
Alicent and Rhaenyra grow old together in the cottage they built, a place where they find healing and live out their shared adventures.
The companion piece of that one cottage au fic

"What is it?"
"The charity is in two days."
Oh no.
"And it got me thinking," Rhaenyra continued, eyes downcast and fiddling with her cup, "everyone is always so pressed about my social image and how I go to these things alone. It doesn't help that I don't seem to have a filter around annoying people, so I was wondering if you would want to accompany me?"

'you read for a while, your heart caught in your throat and you have to pause, a prayer, when you read, 'nature held me close and seemed to find no fault with me.' the earth is here for you to become, and there is nothing wrong with you, and your wants. the earth wants, itself. all of it exists, with you; the worms and the wolves and the moss and the salt and the way your fingers warm, painful and red, at first, in the blast of the car heater, but then steady, the sting fading as you drive home.'

Summary
"you tell beatrice about the expedition: you're sure there's a brand new species of frog — maybe more than one, if you're lucky — on the top of a land mass deep in the rainforest. you've secured enough funding to make it happen; bare bones, but still. you have a great team, but still, no one quite like her.
'so, anyway, i need you to climb the tepui.'"
or: ava is a biologist who is quite adept at finding new species of frogs, & beatrice is a conservationist photographer. there's a lot about the world they already love, & a lot more to learn.

Summary
Diego elbows Ava lightly in the side to get her attention. "Ava? How come you don't have a boyfriend?" he asks.
What if it’s because of him? What if she’s so busy always trying to make sure that he’s taken care of that she’s missing out on all the things other nineteen-year-olds get to do?
"Huh?" There's a pause, and he can almost see Ava's brain stutter into stillness before lurching back to life. "Well, um, Diego, it's like — I'm really — if I thought that — see, it’s more like —"
He hears Lilith scoff and turns towards her. "It's not that hard. Kid, Ava's down bad for —"
"Shut up, Lilith," Ava grinds out, cutting her off.
—
After leaving St Michael’s, Ava does everything she can to support Diego, including taking him to extracurriculars. Beatrice is his aikido instructor, and it changes everything.

Summary
“If you are to mock me, do me the kindness of using my name as you do so.” The oasis keeper requested, still smiling broadly. “My name is Kara.”
There is danger in a name, but that is only because you wish to grasp it despite the barbs that encompass it, and Lena wanted to hold on with both hands - one syllable in either fist.
“Kara.” Lena repeated, tasting it in her mouth, how her tongue formed it like it had been saying it for decades.

Summary
She never forgets Natasha. She never forgets anything about their life in Ohio, actually. She imagines that she is one of the roly-poly bugs that they used to catch together, hardening her outside and letting it accept all of the violence and hatred that the Red Room has to offer while she curls inward and protects her soft insides, remembers hazy summer days and nights spent catching fireflies and what it was to have a family.

Or: five times that control is taken from Yelena and she hates it, plus one time that she gives it away willingly.

Summary
One thing that never fails to surprise Kate is the softness of Yelena’s touch.
Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising, she knows Yelena hadn’t wanted to be an assassin, she knew Yelena was working on getting out, that she didn’t want that life.
Nevertheless, it’s shocking.
or
As Kate gets to know Yelena, it never fails to surprise her just how soft Yelena is.

Clint was very much unimpressed when Kate showed up with Yelena in tow.
“Seriously?” He grumbled while Kate grabbed the bottle of whiskey and a few snacks from the kitchen, Yelena waiting on the sofa with the dogs.
“What?”
“There is some sort of faulty wiring happening up here,” Clint poked at Kate’s forehead, Kate batting his hand away. “For you to be into the girl who tried to kill you.”
“I’m not-” Kate scoffed. “Shut up.”

Summary
“It’s a lot easier for me to keep my grip on you when I can actually feel your body.”
The phrase feel your body said in Kara’s voice rattles around in Lena’s head like a pinball machine, but she manages to shrug her sweater off and throw it somewhere behind them before she can second-guess herself. Kara is looking comfortable in a loose white t-shirt, and when she takes Lena by the waist and puts Lena’s hand on her shoulder the texture of it is light and soft.
“Let’s start from square one,” Kara says, so kindly that her next words take a few seconds to register in Lena’s brain. She tightens her grip on Lena’s waist, and says with full confidence:
“Dancing is a lot like sex.”
OR
Against her better judgement Lena agrees to compete on Dancing with the Stars for the PR boost. When her chemistry with her partner Kara gets misconstrued by the press, there’s obviously only one solution.
AKA, a Dancing with the Stars/Fake Dating AU.

Six months after Clarke moves back to her tiny hometown to raise her two-year old toddler around what family she has left, she expects to do just that, and only that. She has two jobs; full time nurse, and full time single-mother. There's no time for anything else. Not even for the pretty firefighter who starts showing up unannounced at her home, looking for fires Clarke swears are a figment of everyone's imagination.

Lena is on her fifth sleepless night in a row when her dear friend Jess suggests she visit a doctor for her troubles. Her suggestion is given slyly, a smirk painted on Jess’s face.

This moment is one she will spend her life looking back on, at times rueing and others thanking a giving and kind God for.

Lena's been damaged since she was a kid; what's more, she knows it, too.

Different as in, Kara starts to make her realize that yes, maybe she's damaged, but that doesn't necessarily have to mean she's damaged for good.
