Summary
“Hey, Josh?” Judy asks, her heart rate picking up.
“Yeah?” Josh responds, looking up at her, as she turns to face him properly, drying her hands with a dish towel.
“Would you like to come with me?”
“To get groceries?” He asks, looking a little confused.

Summary
“Judy, it’s me. I mean Josh, it’s Josh– Oh crap!” There’s a loud shattering sound, as Judy hurries to open the door. “Hey!” Josh says cheerily, no longer feigning a whisper, his face falling when he says, “I owe you a plant pot.”

Summary
“Maybe–” Judy begins, making Violet smile, as she attempts to keep the kiss going. “Do you think I should put something in the oven quickly?”
“Sure.” Violet breathes, as Judy pushes her shirt over her shoulders, helping her free her arms and Violet immediately kneels before her, tugging her underwear down past her thighs, until Judy is stepping out of them. “You wanna go do that?” She asks, looking up at her, both hands now on the backs of her thighs.
Judy licks her lips before decidedly shaking her head.

Summary
“Sweetheart.” Violet whispers, seeing the concern on Judy’s face, and for a moment Judy snaps out of it, returning her full attention to Violet. Ready to listen to whatever instruction comes out of her mouth. Ready to learn. “You aren’t going to break me.”
It’s not what she expects to hear.
And when Violet pulls her closer, Judy allows herself to collapse into her embrace.
Progress.

Summary
Rather than her usual updo, Judy's hair cascades down her back, the ends sitting in perfect voluminous curls.
Violet swallows, looking back down at her desk in an attempt to bring herself back to the present, lest someone catch her staring, or worse, blushing. But she just can’t stop herself from recalling the last time she saw Judy with her hair down like this.

Summary
“Hey, you wanna see me do a handstand?” Madeline asks when they part, looking like an excited puppy.
“I can think of something I’d rather do more.” Helen answers, her hands returning to the strings at Madeline’s hips, playfully tugging as she leans back in and their lips briefly touch.
“Okay, but just one?”

Summary
Things are almost like they used to be in college. Madeline still spills her every thought to Helen, who’s still always there to listen. Madeline still asks Helen for her opinion on all of her outfits before she wears them out. Madeline still dresses Helen up in her clothes and does her makeup to match when they’re bored and there’s nothing better to do. Madeline still pines for more.

Summary
“You’re telling me you’d still want me if I dressed the way I used to? If I never drank the potion?” Helen asks with a smirk, but Madeline only feels confused.
“Wait, what?”
“In fact, don’t answer that. I don’t wanna know.”
“Wait, what?” Madeline repeats, a new urgency to her tone, almost dropping the paintbrush.

Summary
“So.” Madeline begins, biting her bottom lip and feeling her mouth go dry when she tries to say more. Seconds go by. “So,” She repeats, as Helen just watches her, waiting. “What if…” She says, looking down at her hands and then back up at Helen. “I was to kiss you?”

Summary
“So, what about when one of us wants to bring someone back here?”
That gets Madeline’s attention, as her head immediately darts up in Helen’s direction.
“What do you mean?” She asks, unsure why the question makes her feel so uncomfortable and inexplicably furious.
“Y’know, like, if one of us brings a guy home or something.” Helen shrugs like it’s the most casual thing in the world. “Shouldn’t we have some kind of protocol?”
“Oh.” Madeline replies, but what she actually wants to say is no.

Summary
It’s so nice to be in each other’s presence and not feel the need to fill the time with words, to be touching but not talking, to just hang out together but separate, to sit in this totally comfortable silen–
“What do you think of this lip colour?” Madeline asks, putting down her mirror and looking at Helen expectedly. Helen lowers her book and glares at her.

Summary
“It’s all for you.”
And there it is. The subtle change in Helen’s expression that lights a fire inside of Madeline. Slowly, Helen lifts a hand to Madeline’s throat, curling her fingers around it and squeezing just tight enough to start up Madeline’s stone cold heart.
“Say that again.” Helen demands.

Summary
Madeline sighs, placing a hand on the back of Helen’s chair. Helen gives her zero reaction, so she sighs again, this time louder. When there’s still nothing from the other woman, Madeline places a hand on her shoulder and lets out the loudest, most dramatic sigh of her life.
Helen finally looks up from her vision board, staring blankly ahead, as she asks, “What?”

Summary
Sitting across from Violet on the sofa in her apartment, Judy only has one thing on her mind.
She’d invited Violet over for dinner after work as a sort-of second date, since neither of them wanted to wait until the weekend to go out again.
But now that they’ve had dinner, now that their shoes have been kicked off and they’re just talking on the sofa, Judy can’t help but think about how badly she wants to kiss her again.

Summary
The first time Madeline holds Helen’s hand, it sends a shiver through Helen so powerful, she physically recoils.
“What?” Madeline asks, startled, as she looks her up and down to make sure she’s okay.
“I don’t know.” Helen says, eyes shifting uncomfortably. “Don’t… Do that.”

Merry Christmas, Darling by borrowthemoonlight

Summary
Judy sighs, closing her eyes for the briefest of moments, in an attempt to pull herself together, trying to muster up that fake smile that wears her out more than the job itself.
Her eyes flutter open and for a moment all they’re fixated on is red. The striking red of an expensive pantsuit, to be exact. And the more she stares the more red she sees. The bold red lip. The dark red gloves. All of which bring out the soft red undertones in this woman’s hair. Judy’s eyes involuntarily follow her as she sweeps across the shop floor, but in a moment, she is gone again.
Back to work then.

Summary
Helen is making her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Mostly, she does this when Madeline is feeling sad, or sometimes when she’s feeling happy. Sometimes after sex. Sometimes because it’s Tuesday.

Summary
There’s only one thing Odette knows for certain. She does not love Daniel.
The curse is broken. But he is not her true love.
She thinks again of the events of just a few days ago and she’s entirely overcome by a lavender haze. She thinks of soft hands and magic spells and dance lessons. Of words of affection and the fierce need to protect. Of self sacrifice and a broken curse.

Summary
Zoe Chapelwhite was not the falling in love type. Perhaps it’d happened once or twice, in her younger days. And if she’s really being honest, it was just the once. Dating wasn’t exactly going to come easy to a young unregistered sprite. But even as she got older, she soon came to realise that people were not easy to fall in love with. It didn’t seem to be that way for everybody else. Take Arthur, for example. The man had been in forced proximity with two different men on two separate occasions over the last few years and had managed to immediately fall for both of them.
Men, she often thought to herself, are ridiculous.
Her heart just didn’t work in such ways.
