    Summary

    "She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.

    "We're two friends having dinner."

    "At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."

    "It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."

    "You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."

    "That's not a date, that's paying attention."

    "Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.

    --

    More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

    Summary

    The rain from earlier now came down in sheets, each droplet landing with a dull thud that filled the silence of the room. Blue light from the bathroom cast Emily in neon, her red hair haloed at the edges as she propped herself on one elbow, lying on her side to face Andrea.

    Her lipstick had been kissed off, hair wrecked. Eyeshadow smudged, lips bitten and red. Pale cheeks dusted with leftover blush, chest rising and falling in quick succession - still catching her breath.

    She stared at Andrea, her expression a tangle of horror, arousal, and anger.

    Andy’s shirt had been discarded some time ago, but her ugliest garment, the cat pyjamas, somehow remained, rubbing Emily’s bare legs where they intertwined.

    OR - The fic where Andrea finds out Emily works a second job as a yoga instructor and they slowly realise they like each other.

    Summary

    “Are you done?” he asks.

    “Yes.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “…Yes.”

    Nigel nods. Says, very mildly, to the wall and not to her: “You have spent half an hour telling me why he is wrong for her; and not once have you told me who you think would be right.”

    She opens her mouth.

    She closes it.

    A small, traitorous thought slips in sideways before she can shut the door on it. She shuts the door on it.

    -

    Or the one where Emily and Andrea are friends. Great friends. Best friends. Just friends.

    So why the fuck does Andrea want to pull her hair out at the thought of Emily having a boyfriend?

    Summary

    It's been a long time since Shauna, Tai and Nat have seen any of their old friends and loves, and about as long since their lives have felt worth living. So when Tai is no longer welcome at home and Shauna hasn't felt at peace in Wiskayok for the last ten years anyway, they take the opportunity to leave home and wander the Plains, with Nat as their guide.

    This is the story of eight women who were once a tightly-knit group but are now scattered across the Plains, and the events that befall them that they are in no way prepared for.

    Summary

    When Persephone, known among mortals as Shauna, chooses a quiet life in a small Greek village instead of Olympus, she expects nothing more than soil, sun, and anonymity. What she does not expect is Aphrodite descending in the form of Jackie: curious, jealous, luminous… and accidentally binding her soul to Persephone’s with a forbidden offering thrown in a pyre

    Or…

    Jackie accidentally soul-bonds herself to Shauna and now has to play divine nanny, stylist, mentor, and begrudging love interest.
