Summary
The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.
She frowns.
The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.
Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?
Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

Cerulean eyes for the damaged soul by loveshazel

Summary
"I'll stitch you up when you are back to consciousness" she mumbled, completely wrapped up in the dressing of the wound. So much so that she did not notice the voice that addressed her, at first.
A female voice with a very distinct American accent. The voice sounded exhausted, parched, low, but strong.
"If you're talking to me, you're going to have to speak English sweetheart"
Caitlyn's eyes widened as she looked up from dressing the wound and cerulean eyes found the greyest ones she had ever seen, sending a rush through her that she was unfamiliar with.
Then, Caitlyn spoke.
English this time, laced with a light French accent.
"I told you your wound would need to be stitched up when you were to wake" she simply informed her, ignoring how heart her started pounding yet again.
or
During the summer of 1943, Caitlyn rescues US Air Force pilot Violet McAdams from a plane wreck in the French country side, and decides to hide her on her farm to allow her wounds to heal properly.
Neither of them in prepared for the romance that follows this foolish, yet courageous decision.

Summary
“If you’re not here for a treaty and you’re not commanding the attack, what do you want, Adora?”
“You don’t want to talk about land?” Adora asks lightly. At Catra’s narrowed eyes, she continues. “Fine. I guess we can just catch up with each other then.”
Catra’s mind is screaming 'what the actual fuck' but she pretends to wait patiently.
“I’m going to get married,” is what somehow leaves Adora’s mouth. Like she’s talking about the weather or something and not shifting everything in Catra’s brain.
or
The war finally ends, not with one final dramatic stand but with Hordak crushed in the foundry like a coward. So if everyone could just stop lecturing about friendship and forgiveness and stay out of the Fright Zone, that would be cool, ok? But a year later, in saunters that blonde idiot, dragging Catra out of her peaceful depression and into a bunch of princess nonsense. She-Ra is gone. Etheria has a chance for peace. But Adora’s got a new secret mission. Would be nice if she’d bother letting Catra in on what it is though since, you know, Catra’s kinda the key to it all…

Summary
There's a yawn from somewhere above, soon followed by a tired, gravelly, practically husky voice. "Glimmer, fuck… What the fuck is going— oh, hey."
Adora's attention is immediately drawn away from Glimmer and toward the owner of that voice. Standing there in the door frame is none other than Glimmer's date.
Adora's stomach instantly does somersaults.
Of course the woman Glimmer brought home is here too. Of course she's stunning. Even in the dark, it's clear she's got sharp features and bright eyes to match her unreasonably attractive voice. She tilts her head to the side as if she's still trying to make sense of what she's witnessing. Right, she's taking in this horrifyingly humiliating predicament.
______
Determined to somehow adjust to life as an amputee, Adora is ill-prepared for the world that awaits her.
That includes the struggles that come with relearning how to move around, the social pain of trying to interact with strangers, and falling flat on her face in front of Catra, Glimmer’s positively stunning fuckbuddy.
