Summary
Francesca has lived as a secret alpha for her entire adult life - using herbs to repress her alpha instincts. She'd thought she'd found safety and comfort in the arms of John Stirling, but his tragic death stole that away from her. To make matters worse, his cousin, Michaela, is an omega who makes her feel excited and scared for reasons she cannot explain. When Michaela is named the new Lady Kilmartin and announces her intention to return to London, Francesca flees back to her brother's home and sets herself onto the marriage mart.
But of course, masking as a beta will not be as easy for Francesca as it was the first time, and complications quickly arise when her Majesty threatens to select a more "refined" diamond for the season.
Title & Vibes loosely inspired by "DON'T YOU SEE ME TRYING" by Erin LeCount

Summary
“You’ve won, then.” Hades spits out, like it’s something caught between her teeth.
“Indeed I have, lady mine.” Persephone shoots back, still catching her breath.
Her nails tap against the metal of their table, before pushing herself up, crossing the tiny length of the table, and Hades pushes her seat back, waiting for her. “And as such, I get to have my fun.”

Finally, Elphaba speaks. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about my plan.”
The anger is gone now. Glinda’s voice is small and petulant. “Well, good,” she says. “You should be.”
Her tongue twitches to shed more. I’m sorry too. I missed you. I wish I had saved us. I wish I was braver. I will never forgive myself. I love you. I’m sorry. I love you. I’m sorry. But she refrains.
or, 5 times elphaba leaves + 1 time she comes back. moments from canon plus bonus fix-it material.

I feel I am lost in time and in warmth and in trying… a beautiful piece to delve deeper into the pages of canon, and keep on asking - when, when, and what if we can finally say what we’ve been wanting to say all along? Very sweet.

What a magical thing it was, to be friends. She had never truly thought of it that way before. It had always come easy; she had never had to bare her teeth and fight, to dance into their trust and hold on tight to keep it. It was miraculous.
One night out in the Emerald City, and a dream unfulfilled.

A magical piece - the stuff of dreams and longing - and such well-done characterizations. My own little heart is also there, in that one short night in Emerald City…

Summary
“Oh- oh, shit, you’re bleeding.”
Rhaenyra would’ve rolled her eyes if her head wasn’t pounding so heavily. “Yeah, I told you, you broke my-”
But it was then that her sight had finally cleared and she was able to see her bathroom companion for the first time.
Fuck.
A girl.
Like a laughably, ridiculously pretty girl, nearly half a foot shorter than Rhaenyra, with curling red hair streaming down her back. She stood right in front of her, uncomfortably close, with these big, dark eyes almost as teary as Rhaenyra’s own.
Her anger dissolved at once.
OR
You’re classic, self-indulgent college au.

Bookmarker's Notes
Incredibly dark, and such a compelling Aegon pov. Rhaenyra’s motherhusband energy in this is deranged, ravenous, and deeply emotional. Not an easy premise, and the author pulls it off with delicacy and excellent detail - harrowing and worth every moment!

Summary
"And what business is that? What business could you and I possibly have together?"
"What business, indeed," Rhaenyra says, eyes and mouth and voice gone flat, before looping her arm through the crook of Alicent's own and steering her down the length of the corridor while Alicent seethes at this mimicry of their girlhood years, of the times they only bore love for each other. The facade breaks when Rhaenyra guides her inside one of the castle's many unknown rooms and pushes Alicent up against the door; she braces an arm over Alicent's head, lip curled, and for the span of a breath Alicent's eyes drop to Rhaenyra's mouth.
Alicent and Rhaenyra come together, fall apart, and come together again.Bookmarked by rootweb

Like Mysaria, the loss of moderation in feeling I experienced while reading this was intense + delicious. Intimate characterization and physicality, very rewarding read

Summary
Alicent sobs again, the latter half of it bitter and choked as she tries to retain control of herself. “You’ll hate me, Rhaenyra. If you were half wise you’d have my head on a spike.”
Rhaenyra laughs, Alicent still leaning against her, and Rhaenyra’s voice takes on as much sincerity as she can muster. “I’m not sure I know how to hate you.”

BUT I THINK I MIGHT! TAKE A BITE! Heavy angst and pain that is so incredibly rewarding to work through. Such a wonderful journey through Alicent’s perspective, oh the anger, oh the love…

For a decade, Pamela has been living in solitude on family estate, nurturing what has become an internationally renown private garden.
Harley buys up an insignificantly small and run-down bordering property, halting Pamela's slow but sure assimilation of surrounding acreage. And for what it seems to Pamela, no good reason.
An AU about love after trauma.

Shannon would never take a weak woman to bed. Mary is special- she can pull apart a church, down to its foundation, and rebuild it better than before, stronger and more beautiful and holier because her hands blessed the stonework- and as Lilith stares back at her with frightened, craven eyes, she knows exactly why Mary is afforded so many exceptions and broken molds: she deserves it.
