Summary
With the sundering of the Red Ring and the gruesome death of Shroud, the Z-Team -- and SDN Torrance at large -- are left picking up the pieces. Robert leaves the wreckage of SDN Torrance with a pit in his gut. The ultimate evil in his life is dead, but he still feels incomplete; Visi is gone without a trace, except for the sense memory of her lips on his in the locker room, and Mandy is now entirely aware that that happened at the same time that Robert was agreeing to dates with her.
At the end of the day he got greedy. That's all there is to it, but when he and Mandy start to unpack their issues and pursue an actual relationship together without the omissions of their past, some interesting threads come up between them and their now lost invisible woman. Robert may have amends to make, but Mandy has odd feelings to come to terms with, and both of these are significantly harder to do when Visi returns as the new leader of the Red Ring, filling the power vacuum she created with lieutenants new and old and a new mission: killing Mecha Man.
(or, following Shroud revealing that Robert pursued both Visi and Blazer, Mandy is upset, Robert is guilty, and Visi is in her villain era. again.)

Summary
It's been about two months into their hiatus — and to call it a hiatus is generous, because they're still doing appearances, like this one — and they're in a hotel next door to tomorrow's photoshoot location because they're meant to be on set at 5am for a sunrise shoot. She should really be asleep, and she was trying to, but then the…
…noises…
Began.
The walls of the penthouse are clearly much more insulated, and their bedrooms are more spread apart, so Rumi thinks that's why this is her first time being able to hear Mira and Zoey making out so clearly. Clearly the hotel they booked is quite luxurious — they're one of the top girl groups internationally — but it seems they may have skimped a little on the soundproofing, because Rumi's laying awake with her eyes on the ceiling able to hear just about every squeak of the bedframe, almost every softspoken word, and every. Single. Moan, whine, whimper, what have you.
She's gonna go insane.

Summary
"Sex," Mira deadpanned through a mouthful of noodles. "You're gonna watch me and Zoey have sex since clearly physical touch is too much for your virginal, touch starved—"
"—hey!—"
"—I am speaking, don't interrupt me," Mira cautioned, though she broke out into a grin after swallowing her food. "And I only speak the truth. You are, objectively, a virgin and touch starved, and I think that's our main issue."
"So I'm just going to watch you guys have sex to work up… a tolerance?" Rumi clarified.
"Exactly!" Zoey agreed with a vigorous nod. "And, besides, voyeurism is sexy! Maybe you'll find out you really enjoy being cucked."
Rumi blinked.
"Do you know what that means, Rumi?" Mira checked.
Rumi shook her head.
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Oh my god. How much later can we stay up? Am I gonna get to explain kinks to you? Please say yes, please, please, pretty ple—"
(or, where Rumi's lack of control over her demonic self causes some... intimacy issues)

new moon by marleybone

Summary
The signage really doesn't reveal anything either. Purple neons are used to advertise the lounge's mouthful of an alliterative name, and it's all surrounded by swirls and sparks of flickering yellow neon. It has no windows on the front, and either side of the building is a tight alley and then the neighboring building. On the left, a bar, and on the right, a romantic restaurant, at least judging by the vases of roses on the outdoor patio tables.
Vax pursed his lips, then, eyes darting down as he folded some salami around a slice of cheese and popped it in his mouth. He chewed it for a long moment before saying, "An adult lounge meant to cater to people who are fond of more… carnal pleasures."
Vex stared at him for a long, long moment. She dared him to elaborate, or continue, with her eyes, but when he continued to simply avoid her searching gaze, all she could do was whisper, "Vax'ildan."
He hummed.
"Does your new boyfriend own a sex club?"

Summary
When Vex agreed to bring Saundor as her +1 to her brother's wedding, it had been a dream scenario. They were young, in love, and both breaking their backs for their careers, so a vacation to the Bay of Gifts was a perfect break for them to re-commit themselves to each other while celebrating Vax and Gilmore's nuptials.
There's just one problem.
They broke up, and now Vax is asking her to pay for that gap in the vacation, money that she cannot afford, so she has to think fast. Maybe her brain is working too fast when she tells Vax, then, that she actually does have a partner. A girlfriend who would love to come along for the trip in Saundor's stead! What luck, now she doesn't have to pay, someone else can enjoy the trip, and Vex doesn't look pathetic. The only problem is: Vex is still very, pathetically single, so she has to find someone to pose as her SO and fast.
Enter, Keyleth Ashari.
To Vex, nothing in this arrangement can go wrong (until she has to orchestrate a breakup, something that hurts to even think about at the start).
To Keyleth, everything can go wrong (because sometimes even looking at Vex sends her into a yearning tailspin).
Their only goal? Make it until the wedding.

clandestine encounters in the c-suite by marleybone

Summary
Zahra is her boss, and Vex is her assistant, and there are entire clauses in the employee handbook about fraternization and harassment and power dynamics. She should assert herself, should either report her for abusing her power for even thinking it was alright to come onto Vex in the first place, or should at least try and be in control of these moments when they happen, initiating them herself or wresting the power from Zahra in the act.
But then, how is Vex supposed to care about any of that when Zahra steps into her space, when her back is meeting the cool porcelain of the bay of sinks and those same hands she eyed earlier start reaching for the top button of her shirt, when the gourmand scent of cocoa and cinnamon and sweet citrus overwhelms her senses.
"I think I'll need a faster solution than that, don't you, Vex'ahlia?" Zahra murmurs, her glossy red nails and the soft skin of her finger pads grazing Vex's heated neck before beginning to undo her blouse from the top.
(or, Zahra is a company executive, and Vex is her assistant, and how their affair expands from almost the beginning to the end)

Summary
Her ears twitch, the sound of soil shifting alerting her to a new presence, and she lets Fenthras drop with her arm to her side as she turns.
Keyleth is ethereal, her shoulders weightless without the symbol of her leadersip and responsibilities across her slim, freckled shoulders in a cascade of umber leaves. All that rests across them, in a waterfall of flame, is her hair, shifting and flickering with the light breeze and her steady approach. She's only wearing a dress, white and sleeveless with a neckline so deep it disappears behind the leather corset laced around her waist. It's a look she's grown fond of, and one that Vex is very familiar with and very attracted to at this stage. Her feet are bare, and she carries nothing with her, not even her staff, nigh nude for Vex.
"Hail to the Tempest," Vex breathes out teasingly, taking her hand and brushing her lips across the knuckles as she bows.
She can practically feel the eyeroll as she straightens out, but Keyleth smiles at her, fond and sweet and a little blushing as her hand retracts.
"Hi, Vex," she greets.
(or, Keyleth and Vex play a game of predator-prey in the Parchwood Timberlands.)

not-so-secret admirer by marleybone

Summary
It feels wrong watching Keyleth like this when she likely had no intention of putting on such an enamoring show, but Vex can’t tear her eyes away. She’s frozen, peering like a peeping tom in the scant window space outside a girls locker room, and her mind is screaming for her to back off, to leave Keyleth to her devices, to her getting off… and then there’s another part encouraging her to watch.
When else will she ever see her crush like this, disgusting and creepy as it makes her feel when she thinks about it. It’s almost enough to turn her away, that thought, but then Keyleth’s lifting her head, the peridot eyes that Vex sees in her dreams where she’s helping her in this situation opening as she glares down her body, frustration deep in the taut lines of her expression.
“Fuck, c’mon,” she whimpers, head falling back again as her hand clumsily tries to speed up.
(or, Vex catches Keyleth getting intimate with herself, and the object of her desire may be closer than she expects).

Summary
Annabeth Chase leads a gilded life: on the outside, she is rich in every aspect of life. She walks along an ancestrally paved road of black gold with her hands in the pockets of a Senator and a supermodel, later inheriting a sizable fortune in her mid-20s from her deceased mother. The girls of America vie for even a shred of her presence, her power, her looks, trying and never-quite-succeeding to replicate the perfect curl and color of her honey-blonde hair, her relentless business acumen, and her unwavering charisma.
However, the definition of gilded means “covered thinly in gold,” and Annabeth’s life is no different. Between maintaining forward momentum on her recovery post-rehab, the stress of inheriting a multi-billion dollar business from her estranged dead mom, dealing with her still living family, and the presence of a new stalker, there’s very little seeming good in her real life.
There is one relief, though… unusual and socially ruinous as it is to run an NSFW Tumblr blog when you’re someone like her.
So long as she doesn’t show her face or her voice, she should be safe, but when a professor with the whole package is her mutual, well.
Things can get a little complicated.

Summary
“—would you ever consider having a threesome with you, me, and Zahra?” Vex completes in a rush of breath.
Keyleth’s eyes are wide, brows furrowed, and she just… stares.
Vex is starting to feel a little like she just fucked everything up.
“Please say something before I think I broke you,” Vex says after a solid minute of silent staring.
“A threesome?”
“I’m gonna put a shirt on.”
“You and Zahra wanna have a threesome with me?”
“Really it’s more like I want to have a threesome with you and Zahra, but if you’d prefer it described that way, yes,” Vex replies quickly as she grabs an overly large shirt and pulls it on so there’s no more distractions.

Summary
Every girl remembers her first.
Her first crush. Her first kiss. Her first love.
Keyleth is a late bloomer in every sense of the word. For much of her teenagedom she was the awkwardly tall girl, flat as a board with none of the new curves, feelings, and smells of her pubescent classmates, and certainly no reprieve from the teasing about being mistaken for an overgrown thirteen year old when she was cresting sixteen, but finally, finally, the summer before her senior year of high school everything’s changing.
She didn’t expect alongside her late onset puberty transformation to be the center of attention for the entire school when she gets involved with two troublesome twins.
What may have been a small pamphlet to describe her firsts became a novel-length adventure through flirtation, deviance, hormones, and most of all, whatever the fuck it is going on between her and Vex’ahliaVessar. -

Summary
Vex doesn’t think she’s ever seen anything quite as beautiful as Ank’harel’s River District in the springtime. All around the erected runways are spring crops ripe for the harvesting, green grass and blooming flowers as far as the eye can see, and the numerous winding canals that feed water into the rest of the city from the central oasis. She remembers the first time she saw the city so many years ago, stepping out of the airport in the Sand-Herald District and having to stop and gape at the grand architecture and the elaborate tapestries before being ushered off into the called car.
It was magical then, and watching the models walk along their path above and curving with the canals, it’s even more so now.
“Smile for the camera, Vex’ahlia.”
(or, Vex is an actress, Keyleth is a model, and they're destined to meet in this universe as they are all others)

Summary
“I didn’t expect I’d ever get the chance to see you in such a flattering light,” Laudna says once they’ve completed a turn, her full skirts coming to a still swishing calm around her feet. “It seemed we were always destined to meet in the darkness.”
Imogen smiles as they each step into each other’s space, and then back, switching their arms. She looks resplendent in her suit; dark breeches tucked into tall, leather boots with a fitted periwinkle shirt accented with a deep purple cravat and a long, embroidered grey coat. Their skin does not touch when their hands slip slightly, Laudna’s lace gloves simply brushing off of Imogen’s white silk ones.
“I wish it didn’t have to be that way.”
(or, the one with the knight and the princess... sorta)

Summary
Imogen doesn't know the woman bound to the chair, orchestral thoughts that flowed through her mind like a cooling balm, river water over blistered feet, breeze through windchimes now discordant; terror, anxiety, confusion. She feels Mama's eyes on her, looming at her back as she waits for the viper she's raised to unfurl and strike.
"We will never be separated again. Papa and I love you, little nimbus," Mama said.
Imogen doesn't know the woman bound to the chair, mirrored fractals arcing from her fingertips up her shoulders, ears cut to points by the dagger Papa gave her on her 16th birthday. Her chest burns with disgust at herself, at her parents.
Imogen doesn't know this woman, but she has never known a mind like hers.
Imogen doesn't think she knows her parents either.
Imogen doesn't want to be a Briarwood if it means this. Ignorance has shielded her, and perhaps Mama and Papa—Delilah and Sylas—have as well. She was raised to be ruthless like her mother, strong like her father, but the compassion grew in the cracks of her foundation. They told her she cared so much, so deeply, and one day it may hurt her.
That day has come.
Thus are the consequences of a bleeding heart.

Summary
Imogen is afraid of a lot of things: heights, other people, and at one point, fire.
Imogen isn’t afraid of Laudna.
“Copper for your thoughts, dear?”
So lost in thought, she hadn’t noticed the humming stopped, nor had she noticed Laudna coming to sit beside her on the ground. She looks gorgeous in the glow of the campfire, the keen angles of her cheekbone and jaw throwing flickering shadows on her cheeks and neck that almost seem to giggle and snicker as Imogen catalogues all of her favorite parts of her companion.
Maybe Imogen is more than just not afraid of Laudna.

Summary
“Gods, I think your cunt was made for me, Artemia,” he exhales. “Such a perfect little cocksleeve for me. One day I’m going to take you to your favorite little secluded corner of the library and soak my cock in you while I’m reading. Take little breaks to fuck you full of my cum, make sure my seed really takes root and then go back to my book.”
“Would I—” she swallows on the hoarseness, the dryness of her throat, but he just hushes her.
“Good fucktoys don’t talk back,” he says dismissively.
That makes her moan, and he just snorts, never faltering.
“What, is this getting you off?” he asks offhandedly, one hand reaching up to grip the headboard and thrust deeper. “Not that it matters. Today—” he sighs a little— “today isn’t about you, princess, and I’ve told the other disciples that if you break any of your rules they are within their rights to punish you as they see fit.”

Summary
A lot of people have called her an airhead. People think it because she’s young, because she’s naïve, because she’s innocent in their perceptions just because when she talks during debates or presentations her cheeks get red and she stutters a little. When they find out she’s Ashari, she’s from Zephrah, they only run further with the joke, teasing that they hope she doesn’t float away.
She wishes that were true. She wishes she could just float away, wishes she could absolve herself of any and all responsibility, any decisions.
But she’s heavy.

Summary
“Keyleth, dear,” Zahra says, leaning her elbows on the counter as she levels her silver eyes on Vex. “Your girlfriend seems a bit antsy.”
Keyleth turns on her then, eyebrow quirked slightly. “Something wrong, Vex?”
Yes, I came here with the express purpose of being railed by my girlfriend in front of my best friend and none of that has happened yet, she thinks to herself.

Summary
Laudna likes to feel useful.
She mends tears in clothes, cracks in stonework, splinters in wood. Her hands have returned numerous hovels to finer states than they began, and then left them for the next wanderer. There’s never a moment she wouldn’t drop anything if someone asked for her assistance, certainly not if it was her landlady, certainly not if it was anyone else in Bell’s Hells, and most important, certainly not if it was Imogen.
Laudna likes to be useful.
Imogen knows this.
Intimately.
