    Summary

    Call has some self-discovery when she ends up alone with Ripley 8.
    ***
    “You know what happens if we go back to get them?” Asks Ripley, leaning in too closely. It makes Call uncomfortable. She all but sees the shadowy side of Ripley’s face. Ripley is standing with her back against the sun, and she’s so tall that she’s blocking all the sunlight. “We’d be sent back into a huge lab floating in space, and they’ll break us down for parts. Would you like that? For humans to take a good look at you?” Ripley sounds as if she’s in a trance, cupping Call’s face, studying her like the first time they met.
    Call shivers. Strangely, she resists the urge to take a step away. She remembers how you’re not supposed to run if you meet a wolf.

    Summary

    Now on Earth, the surviving crew of the Betty work on getting the ship fixed up for travel again. In the meantime, Call and Ripley learn to find themselves in relation to the birth-planet of humanity, and explore their feelings about life. With the bounty of an apocalypse-ridden vineyard and some nightly alone time in a Parisian house, both women find meaning in the pleasure of sensation.

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    “Remind me, Schnee, whatever happened to we can’t do this again?” Cinder pants, riding the hand Winter’s slipped past her belt.

    “I can stop,” Winter lies. They’re both fully clothed, courtesy of the damp and dirty cave floor, but it’s not preventing Winter from finding the spots she knows Cinder’s weak to.

    Cinder glares down at her, flames leaking from her eye. “Do that and you’re a dead woman.”

    Summary

    “You know I don’t work well with other people in general. I may live under a rock but last I checked, idols or whatever are not the kind of people I would mesh well with. I especially do not enjoy the idea of having to effectively babysit one for six months.”

    “Oh come on Sara, I don’t think it will be as bad as you make it out to be. It’s not like you have to marry the person that you will be chaperoning.”

    Or

    Sara navigates her feelings as Ei's new bodyguard.

    Summary

    She compartmentalizes as the days go on. The experiences are pushed to the back of her mind, sitting somewhere where It now lives. It seethes with rage at her situation and begs her to lash out, to escape, to find family and a nest, somewhere safe amid this mechanical Hell.

    It desires something like revenge.

    She knows she’ll get it at some point, eventually, all she has to do is wait.

    Summary

    “It’s funny.” Falin rubs her cheek. “People always said they like me because I’m gentle. Quiet. Selfless. But none of that was really true.” Her mouth pulls into a small smile. “Looking back, I think I was too scared to be anything else. Too scared to want anything that would be inconvenient for anyone else.” She smiles a little wider. “And that’s what everyone liked about me, in the end.”

    Marcille inhales sharply. “Falin—”

    “But now, I don’t care. As much, anyway. I like this. I like wanting things and being honest about it. I like being strong and scary sometimes.” She digs her nails into the back of her own neck, relishing the sting. “I think I like it more than I like being liked.”

    Summary

    Falin often finds herself unable to differentiate between her instincts and the dragon's - after all, they're both just trying to satiate their hunger. Unfortunately, Marcille is the one that usually takes the brunt of the indistinction.

    Summary

    Clorinde notices.

    She notices the way Navia stops short of herself from leaning into her space. The way she was trying not to grab her hand and intertwine their fingers like they used to. She notices the way Navia looks at her, but then suddenly becomes scared of something. Clorinde didn’t mind, of course. They have been apart for years, so it was only natural that Navia no longer desires to touch her or smile at her the same way she did before.

    But she notices. The way Navia had become more…clingy. Touchy.

    Or

    Clorinde loves and takes care of Navia after the flood, even if Navia doesn't want her to.

    Summary

    For a moment, she considers lighting another cigarette, staying out a bit longer. But the exhaustion hangs heavy in addition to whatever this other feeling is, so she quietly—numbly—collects her ashtray and phone before retreating inside the apartment. It’s only after the balcony door has been slid shut and locked does she allow herself to release the breath she’s been holding.

    Summary

    “You are too good for me,” Clorinde says, eyes lowered.

    Navia laughs, sudden and bitter. “No. I am not good. I am keeping you alive so you can feel the guilt of what you have done, every day and every night. If you want to repay me for what you have done, live on and carry that guilt. I hope it weighs heavy on you.”

    (Or: What happened during the three years Clorinde and Navia were on bad terms.)

    Summary

    “Does that pique your interest? All my girls are so lovely, and I do not cage them so strictly as to deny them a future paramour or two.”

    “I would never seek to poach any of your employees from you, Guuji Yae.”

    Such a cold and clinical response, Yae bemoaned, with not even a hint of red present in her cheeks!

    It was criminal, really, that sharp face remaining devoid of what was now a much-needed flush of color. Honestly, Yae should be offended at this point. How dare Kujou Sara remain so outwardly stoic at the prospect of taking one of her shrine maidens? And this was after Yae’s own honeyed words failed to rouse her, too.

    The whole thing was preposterous. Was this a Tengu or a statue sitting before her?

    ---

    In which Yae tries, and fails, and tries again to break Kujou Sara's stoic facade.

    Summary

    “Have you ever wanted something... more?” Jean said in a near-whisper. Her eyes flickered downwards for just a split-second, and Eula felt herself, horrifyingly, do the same.

    After returning from the Veluriyam Mirage, Eula somehow finds herself spending time with the Acting Grandmaster and the Spark Knight, and being forced to confront her feelings.
