    Summary

    After ten years in Stillwater for a crime she didn't commit, Vi breaks herself out and goes home. Her homecoming doesn't go like she thought it would.

    Two years later, she's out of control and out on the streets. She's now a champion pitfighter, a raging alcoholic, and completely on her own. Despite her family's best (and desperate) efforts to help, Vi's on a one-way track to ending up either dead or back in prison.

    At the same time, Caitlyn arrives in the undercity to collect data and information for her thesis. She starts her research from a local bar called The Last Drop, which puts her right into Vi's path. Vi might have been out of her family's home for years, but she's still not going to let a topsider put them in danger.

    Canon divergence (everyone lives!), enemies to lovers (barely, the lovers aspect happens fast), angst, trauma, addiction, and also fluff and humour (because these things can co-exist!)

    Summary

    ~~~

    Vi rubbed her neck and looked away. “It was just something I thought would be perfect. You don’t have to keep giving me that weird look.”

    Caitlyn blinked and looked down into her drink. She was tapping the side of her cup, chewing her bottom lip in consideration. Looking more thoughtful than when she was staring into Vi’s soul. “You want to begin a friends with benefits?”

     I knew this was a bad idea.

    Summary

    Because it turns out the Halo can want things now, sort of. Not the way a human would, with thoughts or motivation or articulable desires. The Halo wants things the way a tree wants water and shoves a taproot through flagstone to get it, which is all well and good for the tree, but less so for the idiot trying to keep her patio intact. Unfortunately for Ava, she’s both the idiot and the taproot. The flagstone is her dignity. The water – for reasons becoming rapidly and unavoidably apparent – is Beatrice.

    or

    the one where the halo imprints on beatrice like a duckling and is dead-set on making it ava’s problem

    Summary

    Home, to Ava, is flannel-backed chairs and worn quilts and lacy placemats and a rocking chair they find abandoned on the side of the road.

    Home, to Beatrice, is Ava’s hand in her own as she drags Beatrice through the kitschy home store four towns over and Ava’s shout of triumph when she finds a matching set of salt and pepper shakers and Ava’s waggling eyebrows when they buy the bed that she (again) calls ours.

    (Six days in Switzerland, and then a few more afterwards.)

    Summary

    Ava rolls over, shutting her brain off, and very carefully presses the palm of her hand on Beatrice’s waist.

    Beatrice tenses immediately, a sharp intake of breath filling the otherwise quiet bedroom.

    A few seconds pass with nothing and Ava starts to pull away, an apology on her lips, when Beatrice grabs her wrist. It’s so fast that Ava hardly registers what happened, but suddenly, she’s being pulled to the other side of the bed.

    Ava lets it happen, helps, and now she’s hovering over Beatrice. She’s so close she can see the shine in her eyes, how wide they are and she can see them flicker to her lips and back up.

    Bea’s made this move, it’s her turn now. Ava leans forward, giving Beatrice a chance to turn her away.

    When she doesn’t, it’s game over. Their lips meet and every functioning part of Ava’s brain that might tell her there will be consequences to this completely disappear.

    The world could set fire tonight and Ava would keep kissing her as the apartment collapsed around them.

    or

    Ava and Bea hook up in Switzerland and everything is a mess because of it.

    Summary

    She wants Beatrice to fingerprint her, to tattoo her, to leave a mark so deep not even the Halo can rid her of it. Her muscles feel too tight, stretched uncomfortably over her bones. There is something ravenous inside of her, and Beatrice is going to set it free.

    You are the only thing I've ever lived for, Beatrice says.

    You are the only thing I've ever died for, Ava says, and even that wasn't enough to keep me from you.

    Summary

    Beatrice finds herself musing not over duty and sacrifice and God, but the truth of angels, if they can be created rather than summoned. If they can take the form of women with overeager mouths and careless limbs and eyes with a depth that beckons - a crooked finger, a spiral staircase - if they can be both human and not, both beautiful and terrifying.

    Ava asks, What do you want, Beatrice?

    (Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Tell me and I’ll build you a home there. Tell me and I’ll rearrange the universe to make it all fit, angels and demons be damned. Tell me it’s me. Me. Me.)

    Summary

    Now, though, Adora was on top of her, and her chest heaved in a way that was decidedly not sleepy. She pleaded with Catra with her eyes, then her words, “Please, I just-” before cutting off, not knowing what to even ask for.

    Summary

    Adora suppressed an awkward smile, waiting until the lecture hall had mostly cleared before finally looking up. "Could you at least try to call me Professor?"

    “Sure, Professor.” Catra teased. “Can I ask you a question, Professor? Or are you too busy right now?”

    “That depends, what’s it about?”

    Her lip twitched. "I don't think I understand the essay prompt. Mind if I swing by for some help?"
    ---
    Even as a college professor, Adora is as oblivious as ever. Catra is her definitely not love-struck student. There's a little more going on here than meets the eye...

    Feelings, smut, and a lot of plot.

    Summary

    Catra had never hated anyone more in her life, not even herself. She was sure that she had somehow died and been sent to Hell, forced to stare at the grown-up version of her childhood best friend on a dating app she only ever used for the brief validation of matching with pretty girls instead of actually talking to them. Maybe matching with Adora was punishment for just that.

    Summary

    “Aren’t you two—”

    “If you’re done talking about Adora and Catra getting married,” says Entrapta, with all the subtlety and tact of a sledgehammer, “I have calculated the voltage needed…”

    Wherever the rest of Entrapta’s sentence is going to go, it falls away. The whole room falls away as understanding hits Catra like a bolt of lightning, an electrifying shock to her system that leaves her reeling. Getting married? Her and Adora? Questions well up on her tongue — What? Why? — and she doesn’t realize she has fumbled through those fragmented inquiries until Frosta answers her.

    “Um. You’re wearing Adora’s pin.”

    Summary

    “Let’s make a bet.” 

    Catra straightened, ears perking up. She liked bets. She liked winning them.

    “If we win the game tonight, you’ll go to the dance with me tomorrow.” 

    Laughter ripped from Catra’s throat. She tossed her head back, fangs bared in open-mouthed giggles. “Wow, you really don’t want to go with me. The Rebels kick our asses every year.” 

    “That’s not true!” Indignation sparked and died in Adora’s blue eyes. “Well, we almost had them last year.” 

    “Almost isn’t winning, Adora. Besides, if we don't win,” asked Catra, shuffling to fit her arms into the sleeves of Adora’s letterman as discreetly as possible, “what’s in it for me?” 

    Adora blinked. “What do you want?” 

    You.

    Not that she was stupid enough to say that. 


    ______________

    In just a year, high school senior Catra has overcome everything the universe managed to throw at her — a manipulative parent, a broken system, a ruined friendship. If only she could get over something as stupid as a crush.
