Summary
“So Mercury was being gross around Blake and she told him she was seeing someone and when Yang came over and told him to get lost he assumed that Yang was Blake’s girlfriend and so now you’re just going for it and pretending to be in a committed, romantic relationship because you don’t want to give Mercury the satisfaction of thinking he was worth coming up with a lie to avoid.” Ruby sucks in a deep breath and nods to herself, head bobbing with the sharp and rapid jerks of her chin. “Got it! Makes sense to me!”

Summary
She kisses Yang back just as furiously, teeth biting on her bottom lip hard enough to hurt, and when they part her swollen lip is the only thing Blake’s able to comprehend - how pretty Yang looks without her cocky smile, when her mouth is relegated to other things and can’t fucking speak. How pretty she looks when she’s so close Blake can barely see the details, cataloging the sun setting against a lavender sky and the tip of her tongue slipping out to wet her lips. Oh, but that’s later; they’ll deny this, first. It’s just better for business.
What, Yang says, do I look like I'm made of money?
Yes, Blake thinks of saying. Yes, you kind of do. Like the world owes you just for living.

Summary
Blake looks at her and swears she can see the particles of the universe settling, can see them laid out and miraculous like a map of fates for gods, can see the stars all spinning at her from underneath a sky that could very well be a dark, murky ocean. The truth is that it's been six years of too much fear and not enough skin. This is the anatomy of breaking down.
Date me, Yang says, which seems like a great idea at the time.

Summary
It starts at a party on a Friday night, as things in college ordinarily do. She's drunk with a loose grip around a series of bad habits. One of them takes her to bed, and then does it again, and again, and again. They've all seen the movies. Yang should've interpreted them as warning signs.
I don't want to talk about love, Blake says.
Well, Yang answers, I don't want to feel it.

Summary
It’s been a year but Yang knows her, knows what her body means in the way it moves, knows every tilt of her mouth, every blink, every beat of her heart, every chamber of it, the way it bruises and bleeds and bumps against her chest. I’ve lived there, Yang thinks of telling her, please let me leave. But Blake is silent and doesn’t move.
The truth is easy for Yang to see until it isn't. I love you, Blake says. It's the only reason I've ever done anything.
There you go, Yang says, lying again.

Summary
In another life, Beacon never falls and Blake is a little less haunted.
She doesn't even know when it starts, to be honest; the attraction seems to always just be there, like a possession she's owned forever with a long-faded label, the maker's mark now washed out and forgotten. Let me take you out, Yang says with a smile. Another day and it's Blake, fingers knotted in Yang's hair, sighing against her mouth.
Sun never stood a chance, and the thought doesn't bother him at all.

Summary
“Let me get this straight. You broke up with Sun on the night of your six-month anniversary, after he spent hundreds of dollars to impress you, just because you got some texts from a total stranger?”
Weiss stares at her, an eyebrow lifted so high it’s lost behind her bangs, and then she cracks up in the loudest laugh Blake ever heard coming out of her.

Summary
“I’d prefer if we talked this out before gettin’ into uncivil territory, ma’am.”
A pair of feline ears flicked at the title, as though uncertain how to process it. Yang couldn’t imagine her being called by anything else.

Summary
Blake and Yang didn’t exactly get to dance at the club for long - but not for the reasons you’d think. In a rare quiet moment, Yang finally gathers up the courage to ask what happened when Beacon fell and their worlds broke apart, and Blake finally finds the words to recount her run through the ruins of her new life, with a broken teammate in her arms.

When Sun won't stop calling Blake on a Saturday night, he almost finds out the truth the hard way.
