Summary
Later, she tells Weiss that she wants to get to know the Schnees better. I just think that they should do more than just stand me, you know? I think we can really grow to love each other.
“Baby, that’s nice and all,” Weiss says, voice strained, her deceptively strong hands fisted in Ruby’s hair, “but could we not talk about my family while you’re going down on me, please?”
Or: Weiss is in love with Ruby and Ruby will be damned if she can't get the rest of the Schnees to fall in love with her as well -

Summary
“One of these days she’ll fire you and then what will you do?” Weiss asked her.
“Why, marry you, of course.” Ruby waved her hands in a ta-da motion, picked up an onion ring, and grabbed Weiss’ hand. “Weiss, my sweetheart, will you do me the honor of sharing your enormous fortune with me for the rest of your life?”
“You say the sweetest things,” she replied, but let Ruby slide the stupid thing onto her finger. Pyrrha chucked a couple of fries at them, and in the middle, Ruby leaned over to kiss her cheek. One day I’ll ask you for real, non-fortune sharing purposes, she whispered, and Weiss made a face at her.
One day, Weiss told her, I’ll say yes for real, non-orgasm reasons.
Or: The Superheroes AU starring Weiss and Ruby as pining exes, Yang, who just wanted to fake her death so she could finally get some damned peace and the rest of the gang who really, really hadn't asked for any of this -

Summary
I love you, Ruby, she repeats over and over, wanting to imprint the words on Ruby’s skin, wanting to tattoo her kisses on her cheek so the mark never fades, so she’ll never forget, I love you so much. And it’s easy in the thin light of the moon, to pull out the words from where she’s been hiding them, keeping them safe her entire life.
There’s a moon in the sky and Weiss loves Ruby. There’s a garden blooming in the balcony and Weiss loves Ruby. For as much as love threatens to bring about her end, Weiss loves Ruby, and that love is both the beginning and the never-ending middle to her story
Or, Weiss Schnee discovers what it's like to build a home in the aftermath -

Summary
It’s Weiss. It’s still Weiss, but suddenly it’s Weiss of the beautiful laugh, Weiss of the soft, steady hands, Weiss of the photographable minutes. She wants to climb inside and hold her, wants to wrap her up in her cloak and keep her warm, wants to preserve every freeze frame of her being happy, develop it into a picture, and kiss it every night before bed. I don’t want to leave you, she thinks, and it’s extraordinary, the ache that crawls up her bones at the thought of having to say goodbye. And on the heels of that damning thought comes another.
Oh no. This is bad.
Weiss smiles at her, and she has no idea of the explosion that’s just taken place, has no idea of the fault line that has now split Ruby’s days into a before and an after.
Or: Ruby falls into the void, moves into the Schnee mansion, and falls in love.

Summary
Sometimes she wonders if she’s the only one Ruby can twist around her little finger — other times she is reminded that she just has that effect on people. Why else would they follow her to the ends of the planet? When Ruby talks, people believe.
(When Ruby talks, Weiss physically feels her heart careening out of control, skidding into a blind curve with no idea what lying ahead. On and on and on, like Ruby’s running up ahead and Weiss follows, with just her voice for company)
Weiss asks a lot of questions and finds love in all the softer places -

Summary
And for all the beauty of the beginning, of first kisses and first dates and first times, there’s something to be said about the fifteenth time Emily plays her something on the ukulele, warning her beforehand that her voice might crack. Or the sixtieth burger she runs across the campus to hand over to Emily when she knows she’s got back-to-back classes scheduled. About the hundredth time she falls into bed, and scooches over, eyes closed, until Emily’s wriggling body is aligned against hers. There’s peace in knowing that a first time will inevitably lead to a second time, and then countless others.
(There’s peace in knowing the middle lasts the longest)Or

Summary
At night, Emily would talk to her about pressure, an acute force that demands to be released within her, and unable to help herself, the words — I think I know what a volcano feels like — would bubble up from her lips. And when Emily moves against her, a writhing mass of soft, bundled up wanting, Sue thinks she understands Pompeii a lot better as well; understands being frozen in time, brought to your knees by the sheer majesty of beauty and violence
Or, Sue and Emily across the past and present. Forevermore.Series

Summary
The beginning of most love stories: the moon falls in love with the sun.
(The problem, however, is that most love stories aren’t set in the Boiling Isles. To confirm that the metaphor works adequately, there must exist at least one moon and one sun in your admittedly bonkers world. Is there a sun? A moon? There is? Awesome!)
Luz is the sun and Amity is stupidly, inevitably, ineffably in love with her -

Summary
There had been three rules, three rules that she had laid out for Abby at the very beginning, when their friendship was still in its tentative stages. One, no weird conversations about Harper. Two, no weird medical questions about fingers. And three, no setting Riley up on blind dates.
Riley had dodged Abby’s attempts to break rule number three about five times already.
(Who knew one could have so many single, willing and sapphic friends in New York city? Part of Riley was annoyed; the other part was impressed)
“It’s not going to happen, you hear me?” she enunciates. “Absolutely not.”Or:
Riley gets a fairytale ending of her own

Summary
Now it just seemed like whenever Dani was within reach, Jamie’s hands were always reaching out for her. Playing with her hair, tapping out morse code I love yous on her shoulder, tangling their fingers together. Dani grounded her, in a way that even her plants couldn’t. Nature gave her contentment; Dani was sheer joy.
She squeezed Dani’s hand, felt an answering squeeze in return, and the pain abated for that one millisecond.

Summary
Hearts are strange and stupid creatures, anyways. They twist over and over again for every person they love, mould themselves into the initials of names, beat to the cadence of someone’s voice and find ways to survive even after cracking wide open. Hers didn’t need to know Jamie to decide it cared about her.
Two months later, it doesn’t need to ask for Dani’s permission to decide it’s already falling in love.
An alternate universe where Dani sits across from Jamie's flower shop and writes custom poetry all day long. And then they fall in love. -

Summary
Dani didn’t walk into her life. She didn’t come in and carve out a space for herself. She didn’t need to. She waltzed over and fit, seamlessly. By the time Jamie opened the door, Dani was already on the other end, making Jamie’s songs, her stories, her life, her own. All of Jamie was already hers, by the time they found each other in the kitchen, behind the statue, in the woods. All of Jamie’s places, it seemed, already carried the imprints of Dani’s footsteps.
Still, it took her about a month after the breakup to press a fist to her chest, and feel the hollow space there, the utter lack of Dani’s name being repeated there every second.
How was anyone supposed to fall out of love with their whole heart?

Summary
Sterling looks at her, a little out of steam after her declaration, and April wants to laugh. She imagines pressing on that urge physically with her arms, throwing it onto the ground and stamping on it until it’s completely buried, as she so often must around Sterling. Sterling brings out the strangest feelings in her, feelings that are frustration, fury, amusement, and sometimes, only sometimes, almost soft. Fond-ish. Tender adjacent.
“The meaning,” her sister Blair says, stepping out from behind her, cloaked in darkness “is that in thirty days, she will stab you through the heart and you will die.”
(And there you go. All feelings except annoyance, gone)
“You do realize most duels end in the loser leaving town with stab injuries and not, you know, dying, right?”
“We thought it was more dramatic that way,” Sterling admits, sheepish.
The completely bonkers Western AU with swords and dueling and Sterling and April as small town Romeo and Juliet. Did I mention there are swords? Because there are swords. -

Summary
She looks at the cross on the chain that Sterling is wearing and her first thought is Oh wow, that’s got to be illegal.
Actually, scratch that. Her first thought is Sterling Wesley isn’t wearing a shirt. Followed by Sterling Wesley isn’t wearing a shirt in my car. Then, Sterling Wesley is shirtless in my car kissing me.
Who gives a fuck about religion and God when this is the closest to divinity she’s ever felt?
Or the story of how April and Sterling find their way away from and towards each other -

Summary
She looks at the girl, and thinks Oh, here you are, I’ve been looking for you everywhere. She feels the world shift beneath her feet, and she doesn’t know why she wants to keep staring at the girl with her blonde hair up in a ponytail and her face streaked with dust, for a long, long time. She thinks I know who you are. She thinks You feel like home. She thinks If you wanted to give me bruises and scars, I would gladly kneel before you and let you slice me open, end to end.
Then she thinks, Fuck.
The canon divergence AU, where Catra and Adora aren't enemies, not exactly. Not that they're friends, either, mind you. They're just idiots on opposite sides of a war, trying desperately not to fall in love with each other, which seems to be complicated, since they're apparently soulmates. -

Summary
Okay, so maybe she wasn’t being completely honest when she told Lizzie she agreed with her observation that they didn’t like each other. Maybe she’s lowkey had a thing for her ever since they were kids. You know, in the way where you want to be around someone all the time, and like hearing them giggle, and kind of doodle their name on the last page of your notebooks in sixth grade. She’s dated people, she’s liked people, Lizzie is just this girl she kind of always comes back to as her idea of the perfect person. But it’s always been lowkey.
Well, up until now, that is.Series

Summary
Josie did not know what to expect when MG put a notice up on the board advertising her lack of a date for prom.
She didn't expect her evil ex to come barreling out of nowhere and ask her to prom. Nor did she think that she'd be stuck in the most idiotic situation ever, where she would have to dance and spend about five hours in a crowded gym room with the person who shattered her heart into tiny little pieces, the person who she spent the last six months trying to forget.
She certainly didn't expect to find herself falling hopelessly back in love with Penelope Park.
So yeah. M.G is going to be one dead person once she gets her hands on him.Series

Summary
Like most fairytales, Nico thinks, this story starts with conflict.
It starts with the fall of Wizendom, with the advent of the Gibborim. It starts when the royal family of Gibb, the Deans, banish the dark kingdom from their empire. When Queen Leslie closes the gates on every Witch and Wizard, and breaks the ties that have held her family and the Minorus together for centuries. When the Steins, and the Yorkes, and the Wilders collectively vote to cast them out. It starts, when Tina Minoru, blinded by fury, vows to wreak havoc on the Golden Empire, and burn it to the ground.
Karolina, on the other hand, likes to think it starts with love. Everything in her story, she says, starts with Nico. -

Summary
You know how sometimes in the movies the first scene is the climax, and then the protagonist goes “To explain how all of this happened, I’ll have to take you back a few months, back to where Blah-and-blah did bleh-and-bleh, and consequently, I’m here”?
Well, here I am, up on stage on Prom night, in front of a huge crowd of students, holding the hugest Teddy Bear in my right hand, an extremely colorful bouquet of flowers in my left, and just about to start declaring my undying love for the prettiest girl in the world, and I bet you’re wondering how I ended up like this
Lena didn't want to pretend to date the new girl in their school, but Lex had an interesting proposition for her, and now, she's completely, ridiculously head-over-heels in love with Kara Danvers. How is this her life? -

Summary
This is how it starts.
You meet a girl. You think she looks hot. You ask her out on a date. You fall in love.
Alternate reality.
You see a girl. You ask your friend what her name is. You find out you are from opposites sides of the border. She hates you. You fall in love anyways.
This is how it starts.
Toni sees her in the cafeteria. When she will retell this story to her children (three, four, a lot. She hasn’t quite decided how many yet. She just knows it’ll be more than one), she will use the words ethereal, and divine, and angel, and they will all cringe. But she will stick with it anyways, because she doesn’t know how to describe Cheryl Blossom. Still hasn’t learned.
