    Summary

    It's almost lonely, this new calm in Imogen's head. Usually at the market she'd be treated to Laudna's light, musical inner dialogue about the ripeness of fruits or the bread Zhudanna might like best, but instead it's just quiet. All Imogen gets is what Laudna shows on her face, and the words she says out loud. Words like you don't have to listen in to get my thoughts. I'll always share them willingly. You can just ask.

    There's only one thing Imogen wants to ask right now. It's blaring in Imogen's mind like a temple bell, so loudly that even with the circlet she's sure Laudna must be able to hear it. And Laudna is looking at her so sweetly. Every moment they've been parted has made this all-consuming feeling worse, harder to pack away, and this could be her last chance to say it. Her only chance.

    She has to say it. She has to ask.

    "Can I kiss you?"

    OR

    My take on The Kiss, and what comes after.

    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

    “Help me understand,” Kara says. “Are you saying everyone falls in love with their best friend?”

    “I’m saying that queer women have a special affinity for it,” Lena repeats, fishing the cherry out of the bottom of her drink. “The whole ‘falling for your straight best friend’ is basically a rite of passage.”

    “Says who?”

    “Everyone.” She puts the cherry in her mouth, bites it off the stem. “The L Word was like, built on the premise that a friend group of queer woman in LA dated each other in some sort of terrible repeating circle for, god, however many seasons that went on. And it’s been my experience that when two people are attracted to each other, and they’re close, feelings are likely to develop.”

    “That’s just, I mean, come on.” Kara’s cheeks are a little pink. “A trope and a tv show? That’s your evidence?”

    “So you’ve never been in love with your best friend?” Lena looks down at her empty glass.

    “No!” Kara sounds affronted. “No, I have never been in love with my best friend.”

    Or, A love story, told in three acts.

    Summary

    “I swear my loyalty and service to Mercedes von Martritz. My shield will be your protection and my sword will be your defense. I will be without fear when I face your enemies. I will be brave and confident in danger. I will be without hesitation at your command. I will be compassionate and kind to those in need. This I pledge. You have my sword, my loyalty, and my obedience until such time as either death or lord release me.” It was the oath that Ingrid had memorized since childhood and only uttered once before. The words fell from her lips automatically, and she felt strangely at peace. There was such comfort in those words.

    Summary

    Day and night, it’s all the same inside of Rusty CrowBar; it’s not a total dive but not really high class either. Yang’s been there since she was legal, and you see all kinds of people come and go. Most of them don’t leave an impact. It's just a few bills and some change tossed on the bar, or sometimes a phone number if she was extra charming.

    But then there’s this girl.

    She sits on the same barstool every Thursday, sad and mysterious. Yang doesn’t even know her name, but she wants to.

    Yang wants a lot when she looks at her.
