    Summary

    Yang's untouchable; Blake's anything but. The first time they meet can't be the first at all, not with Yang lighting up every billboard on the Sunset Strip and Blake's voice crooning through the radio regardless of the station, not when every motion of Yang's is achingly familiar and every turn of Blake's mouth leads like a staircase. It's Hollywood, and Yang's spent years learning how to get exactly what wants her - Blake's spent years running from it.

    If I could, Blake says, I'd kiss you right now.

    If I could, Yang says, I'd let you.

    Summary

    Your perfect match, the test results read, and Blake's name imprints in its bold, black type against the backs of her eyelids. Honestly, neither of them are even remotely surprised. It's been two years. An official excuse doesn't make it any easier, until it does.

    Do you know what this means? Blake asks.

    Yeah, Yang says. I'm so in love with you that even a fucking machine can tell. Ugh.

    Summary

    It's always supposed to be simpler than it is: a contract, a kill, a payment. Maybe the world's a little safer; maybe the vampires retain their peace just a little longer. That's what used to count as a good day.

    But now Yang steps too close, smells like salt and rosewood, looks like the kind of sex that ends with Blake’s fangs sinking into the side of her neck, blood filling up her mouth. Let’s open the windows to the rain, she thinks of saying. Let’s flood the room, let’s turn down the lights.

    Let me see you in the dark.

    Summary

    They’re twenty when Blake breaks up with her; they’re twenty-one when Blake comes back. And, well, Yang’s method of dealing with that isn’t really conventional, even if it works.

    If you keep fucking me like this, Blake says, I won’t run away again, because I won’t even be able to walk.

    Summary

    She’s known by dozens of names: Huntress, Faunus, coward. The scars that mark her body are a map of the life she’s led, but they always lead back to the same conclusion: she’s Blake, drowning, falling, having wished upon a million stars that failed her, every single time. Runaways have no place falling in love, but somehow, it always comes crashing in like the realest thing.

    At the end of night is day, called other names: a sister, a daughter, a partner. She’s all these things, but still she’s unsure of who she is. Yang's fire, only knowing this: it wasn't supposed to happen this way. Fairytales have happy endings, but what about the story that she's still struggling to write?

    Shards come together to form a whole, huntresses come together to create a team, lives come together to form a story.
