Summary
After the death of her wife, nihilistic and closeted romance author Carol Sturka descends into a stupor of drunken depression which is only compounded when her fanbase finds out she’s a lesbian and erupts in outrage and deems her disingenuous. Her publicist has the perfect solution to rebuild Carol's public image and free her from the "romance slop" genre forever, but Carol isn't going to like it.
She's right. Carol hates it.

Summary
Two years after the Unjoining, she saw Zosia in London, of all places – nearly unrecognizable in her winter attire – bundled up to her nose. But Carol felt her presence like a sawed-off shotgun wound to her stomach. The sight of her eyes peeking over the edge of her scarf, sparkling with mirth as she shouldered the woman she was walking with –
Well, it was fucking devastating.
‘Who is Carol?’ Spray-painted in canary yellow, stood out against the rain-darkened concrete of the building across the street from The Ritz where Carol was staying.

Summary
Carol misses those nights when she took silence and sleep for granted. It’s been two weeks since they have stopped, and the repercussions are starting to show in the sluggish way she moves about in the morning. In the headaches that remind her of the worst kind of hangover. And in the irritation she feels at the slightest inconvenience, or even at her lack of inspiration when she sits in front of a blank document on her computer.
Well, maybe that last part isn’t entirely someone else’s fault. But still, she should do something about the fucking noise.
[...]
“Well, then? Do you need something?”
Carol takes a deep breath. For the first time since moving in this awfully sleazy apartment complex, she’s about to be the wet blanket everybody hates – or maybe appreciates for the intervention, she hopes.
“Yeah,” she mutters and points to the door. “Could you turn it down? I – I’m trying to get some sleep.”
The other seems to ponder her request for a second before shrugging. “It’s not that loud.”or
a new tenant moves in the upstairs apartment. She's loud, careless, annoying. And hot. And Carol has a hard time dealing with that.

Summary
DETECTIVE AU
+
All you need to know is that Detective Carol Sturka is a little sad, a little sarcastic, and a little horny.
And Lieutenant Zosia Nowak is rude and hot.
+
“Are you always this insufferable?”
Zosia’s eyes widen almost indiscernibly.
“Careful, Detective,” she says lowly, taking a deliberate step forward. She places her hand on the metal bar next to Carol’s and their fingers brush together. Neither of them pulls away. She tilts her head down ever so slightly. “That almost sounds like a compliment.”

Summary
Pastor Carol Sturka has built her life around God inside the dated walls of her church, St. Magdalene's. Ordained for four years, she is a woman of extreme obedience and restraint. Zosia Orzech, on the other hand, is more of a lost soul. On a chilly Philadelphia morning, she walked inside the hollowed church to escape the cold. It was on this day that she quickly realized the slightly older woman who trapped herself inside was equally as lost. What started as a casual encounter quickly turned into a dangerous unraveling of faith.

Summary
Carol knows that Zosia’s smiling that eerie smile they can’t get rid of; the reflex-pleasure at taking care of her and working to construct her happiness. Carol hates it less now, can tolerate quite a bit of it, even ask for help on special occasions. It’s a compromise, both their natures must bend for it to work.
___It’s the week of the anniversary of Helen’s death. Carol and Zosia have been companions for over a decade. Carol hasn’t been successful in reversing the merge, and neither has the hivemind in assimilating Carol.

Summary
For only a second, and maybe she imagined it, Carol thought she saw a glimmer of the most human expression Zosia had worn yet: annoyance.
“And you’ll still be working on reversing this?” Zosia asked.
“We wouldn’t be very good heroes if we didn’t, now would we?”

or: Carol and Manousos have found a way to (maybe) undo the apocalypse. They need a willing(?) participant to help their cause.

Summary
Zosia has been staying near Carol’s house. Just in case. Back when they were individual humans, that might have been registered as something humiliating. They do recognize how often Carol has rejected them. Now, with all the knowledge in the world, the compassion and care they feel for Carol overpowers any egotistical ideas of being weak for wanting her love,
or
Carol is lonely and calls for Zosia to visit her.
edit: It kinda turned slow burn- ish, also Zosia is becoming more individual as the story progresses. She will unhive at one point.

Summary
The Others Press assigns relatively new hire Zosia to act as chaperone to their best selling author, Carol Sturka, on her upcoming book tour, which is a first for both of them. She's meant to keep her happy, on schedule, and on script. Should be easy. They neglect to inform her that a) Carol used to have a manager that did this before, and b) that manager was her wife. Her only-a-couple-months-dead wife. It's about to be the tour of a lifetime...

Summary
“I don’t know what you want me to say, Zosia,” Carol admitted, exasperated. “That I feel like I’m walking on eggshells around you? That I feel like I owe it to you to be a little nicer? That I feel guilty for taking advantage of you while you weren’t really yourself?”
Zosia huffed. “So you decided that giving me this half-assed version of yourself was going to absolve you of your previous shitty behavior?”
Carol didn’t know what to do except shrug.
“I know you,” Zosia said slowly. “Intimately and against my will. You were shoved into my molecules, my pores. I know the fire you keep in your belly. I know you stoke it yourself. I know you swallow coals and timber just to keep yourself going, however unpleasant it may be.”
A cold sweat broke across Carol’s neck. She remained silent.
“It’s not going to… make me feel better if you repress that side of yourself with the intention of pacifying me,” Zosia continued. “It makes me feel guilty, for whatever reason, and feeling guilty about you is the last thing I need right now. Or ever. You don’t deserve my guilt. Not after everything.”
### OR ###
Yet another rendition of the aftermath of Carol and Manousos un-hiving Zosia.

Summary
"Carol knows in her heart that she shouldn’t pour herself another drink. The glass is sticky enough to remind her that she’s spilled the amber liquid over her own hands at least three times, and she’s licked them clean as if wasting a single drop of her favourite poison were a crime. If anyone could see her now, they would deem her pathetic, disgusting, hopeless. The fact that she can still feel the stinging shame of knowing that she’s exactly all those things makes her realize that she’s not drunk enough."
[...]
“You’re Carol, right? I’m Zosia. I hear you’ve had quite a day.”
Carol scoffs, trying to conceal the cracks in her voice.
“And it’s not even noon yet.”or
the one where Carol struggles through loss, grief, addiction and trauma, doesn't ask for help, but gets it anyways.
