i'm not art (i'm just a woman) by ifthebookdoesntsell

Summary
Carson runs a set like nobody Greta has ever met.
There’s a measure of playfulness, of equal respect all-around that Greta isn’t used to. The ship sails smoothly, and Carson is the captain.
It’s rare to have a woman photograph her, too. Greta is used to men. Men who come to shoot at all because it’s her, because of her body. Because they’re hungry, and Greta lets them be, because there’s no way she couldn’t.
Even after the first outfit she models, Greta can tell that Carson isn’t like that. She practically waltzes through the space as she gets the angles that she wants, never gets closer to Greta than what feels comfortable – but Carson also never even has to ask if it’s okay. She just seems to know.
(Or, a photographer x model AU set in Los Angeles. The one where Greta wishes people knew she wasn't art, that she was just a woman. And Carson does. Carson has always known.)

Thanks to @ohmissgill for for the prompt:
"what if greta comes home after viv’s xmas party exhausted from pretending to be interested in her date and carson helps her get undressed, takes off her makeup and tucks her in, giving her a kiss to the forehead before cuddling to her side?"
Just fluff and comfort... so so soft

Summary
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Greta hisses, even as she watches the game, watches Carson leading off second base, the focus in her jawline, the flex of her calves, that stupid cap on her head.
“Oh really?” Maybelle leans over Jess. “Then why are you drooling?”
Greta’s face goes hot. “I’m not fucking drooling!” she hisses. “Carson and I work together.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you do lots of things together,” Jess quips, proud of themself.
Swallowing hard, Greta steels her resolve. They’re getting too close to the truth. She has to remember the rules she and Carson drew up in the back of class once – they should have been taking notes, but Carson’s hand was on her knee, her thumb drawing circles, so she spent most of class just doing her best to keep a clear head.
“Really, Carson and I are just friends,” she says, firm. “She has a boyfriend.” And that part is true at least. Carson isn’t her girlfriend; that’s Greta’s entire problem.
(Or, a modern-take on the affair and how it might play out if they were allowed more choices, for better or for worse. The one where they're in college, they're co-workers, they can't keep their hands off each other + they just really need to get their shit together.)

Summary
“Greta is arrogant, lazy, sucks up to Vivienne at every chance she gets, and she’s – “
“Here,” Max supplies helpfully, pointing at where Greta has just walked through the door. Max throws the stress ball back, and Greta turns to look at them both just as it bounces off Carson’s forehead.
Great. This is just the perfect start to her day.
---
Carson is convinced she doesn't have any sex appeal; luckily, Greta is there to show her the light.

Summary
"There’s a funny noise that comes from wind-blown bunchgrass, Carson learns. If the breeze hits it just right, it whistles, low and sullen, calling to the rolling, distant mountains. With each blow, it flattens against the earth and becomes sticky with ridge mud. Carson doesn’t even mean to track it in the house, but she does. Ever playful, she always does.
Carson was born in 1981 in the heat of high summer, the dust of the impending recession, ten fingers and ten toes and brown eyes that always looked up. Her mother always chided that her father never showed for the delivery, but was the first to hold her under for her baptism just two short years later. Her baptism gown is still in a shoebox in her closet."or, a modern character study on carson through her life

Summary
For so long, Carson believed that love came from wanting everything somebody else had that you didn’t. That love came from the fact that somebody might fill in those parts of you.
She convinces herself she loves Charlie because of it.
Charlie isn’t a girl. He is strong and handsome, that’s why he gets to play baseball with the boys. He’s not a girl, and he gets to do all of the things that Carson doesn’t. All of the things Carson wishes she could. He is all of the things Carson knows she is but doesn’t get to call herself.
--
Greta is a woman. Carson knows this for sure, and she can’t feel this much for a woman. She can’t. But then, Greta smiles at her, takes her hand, pulls and says, here’s your destiny, and Carson thinks that maybe she is the kind of person who has a destiny after all. Destiny looks like red hair and dark eyes.
Salvation.
(Or, Carson, growing up, gender envy, and falling in love. How Carson grows into the person she always thought she was inside. My take on a Carson gender exploration.)

Summary
AU where the first words your soulmate say to you appear on your body at 18, but that's not important because Lena moves to National City for a fresh start, and the fumbly blonde that just said her words, broke in by ripping the Luthor grade locks right out of her door.
It's not Kara's fault, she thought it was unlocked.

Summary
She itches to remove her mitten and Greta’s simple glove and feel their skin pressed together, but this, she understands – she respects Greta’s boundary. If every time she touched someone, she knew what was going on in their heads, she would probably hate that too. It’s already too much to hear what’s going on in everyone’s hearts. As much as she longs for Greta to know exactly how much time Carson has spent thinking about kissing her.
or: gretson know everything and they're still emotionally unintelligent, and also it's christmas.

Summary
Greta feels the moment when, in the seat beside her, Sarge actively loses the will to live.
“Miss Gill, allow me to be quite clear. The next time a gentleman requests the pleasure of your company, for my own sanity I will be sending one of your teammates as chaperone. I trust you will all behave…appropriately.”
Greta Gill gets asked on a heck of a lot of dates. That requires a heck of a lot of chaperones.
[Or, five times Greta goes on an unwanted date with a man and at least one chaperone with a talent for sabotage, and the one time she finally gets the date she really wants.]

Introduction to communication and acceptance by lesbianwithchainsaws

Summary
Annie recently realised she's a lesbian and the realisation hasn't been going well. All the things she once expected of herself have now changed completely and it's a difficulty to accept.
Abed is good at remembering patterns and habits and, when Annie's start changing completely, he figures something has happened (with the help of TV).
But Annie is hesitant to talk about it. Maybe a trip to the dreamatorium will help.

Summary
“I believe in tables to sit at,” Greta tells her, reaching across the distance for Carson’s hand, turning it face up, tracing the lines of her palm. “Someone to sit with.”
“Oh..." Carson breathes, curling her fingers in softly. Greta trembles a little, scared of what she’ll say, and Carson feels it. She squeezes her grip, smiling. “Me too,” she says, swallowing. “I believe in that too. Someone to- to be with.”
“Yeah?” Greta asks shyly. Carson reaches to tuck her hair behind her ear, cupping her jaw so that Greta will look at her.
“Yeah,” she replies.
And at this kitchen table, something shifts between them. The light hits Greta’s blush differently as they look at each other, and Carson hasn’t stopped smiling since they started talking. This beating heart of the Rockford house - where the Peaches gather and laugh and drink and eat - holds them in all of its softness, watches them quietly in their falling and knows that they will catch each other. There is nothing more wonderful than being held this way, than feeling at home.
(Or, the story of Greta and Carson growing up and growing older together, how they change and become, as told by the kitchens they occupy throughout their lives.)

Summary
Greta smiles ruefully every time she kisses Carson goodbye. “Wish you could come.”
“Season just started,” Carson usually reminds her. And sure, coaching high school softball doesn’t amount much to watching Greta pose on a beach in a bikini or whatever it is Greta is doing down there in the Caribbean, but, Carson also has boundaries. And one of them is to be here, in New York, and not lost among a sea of people she doesn’t understand while Greta does her own work.
(It’s not like Greta comes to her games, obviously, so it’s fine. It is.)
or: while greta's away being famous, carson grapples with what both of them really want. they grow apart. they grow back together.

Summary
“Do you remember the convent rules?” Carson asked quietly as she bit harder against Greta’s exposed neck. A whine was breathed into Carson’s ear.
Greta shook her head, biting her lower lip to stifle her uncontrollable noises.
“You must be silent except for words of prayer or service,” Carson’s thighs stretched and settled around the redhead’s hips, squeezing playfully and grinning at the quiet gasp that followed. Greta looked up to Carson with shining eyes, dark and overwhelmed. Her lip was swollen from her incessant biting.
“So,” Carson started again, sliding the rest of Greta’s dress downwards, over the swell of her thighs, and off of her entirely before discarding it onto the floor beside the bed.
“You heard the rules. Pray.”or, what happened that night in the convent
