    Summary

    “Just—” Rumi takes a deep breath. “Just act as if I wasn’t here. Explore your relationship the way you would if you were alone. I mean—obviously close the door if you want to get, um, more intimate, but… I—I don’t want to freak out every day thinking I’m a liability to you guys. I don’t want to worry about you not fully living this relationship the way you want just because I’m around. I want you to be free. Is that—Does that make any sense?”
    “I… think so?”

    Summary

    "Abby had been totally prepared for this to be a one-time thing, a well-earned release of tension with someone who still has both the stamina and non-committal nature of youth on their side. But one last look up at Raven’s twinkling umber eyes and that goddamned smirk, and ohhh – Abby could get used to this."

    What starts off casual develops into something more - despite all the cougar jokes coming from Abby's other middle-aged lady friends.

    Summary

    There was no hint of it in her letters, no warning of her coming. She simply arrived one afternoon in late September, the autumn wind tugging at her coat and a small suitcase at her feet as she waited patiently on the front porch for one of them to open the door.

    For all her certainty that she would one day circumvent the system and become a free woman, Sherlock could safely admit that he hadn’t seen this one coming.

    Summary

    Regina takes a moment to study Emma. She wonders what form this woman’s dæmon would take, if it were outside of her and visible. She tries to find the traces of Henry in her. Tries not to reach out and strangle the woman and be done with it. It’s tempting. She’s wanted this woman dead since she was merely an idea blooming inside of Snow White’s womb. And now, she is here. She is Henry’s birth mother.

    (or, the one where it's a dæmon fusion au).

    Summary

    The rope doesn’t restrict Yennefer’s breathing in any way, but it is a constant presence, a slight pressure on her ribs every time she inhales. A perpetual embrace, tightening and loosening in the rhythm of her breath.  


    An involuntary shudder runs through her whole body, and with Tissaia this close, she has no chance of hiding it.

    -----

    Tissaia, Yennefer, a few bundles of rope, and a whole lot of messy feelings about love and power.
