Summary
“When did you start smoking?” Caitlyn asks, brushing the stray crumbs away from her lips. Vi’s not sure if she realizes that she’s leaning further and further into her space.
Her sapphire iris is being completely swallowed up by her pupils, the area around it reddening. She’s a little flushed and her lips look incredibly soft.
“A while after I stopped drinking.”
Caitlyn hums, but she doesn’t lean back satisfied. She keeps staring, her head tilted slightly at Vi as she wipes her mouth a few more times. So proper.
Vi holds the eye contact. Not because she wants to, but because that just seems to be what happens.
“Do you have family around here?”
The question takes a minute to compute since Vi’s a little distracted by the strength of Caitlyn’s nose.
“Something like that.”
Vi should be annoyed. She is, actually.
Her smoke sessions are supposed to be chill, relaxing and quiet. Not lonely, alone. Now Caitlyn’s asking questions she doesn’t really need answers to.
And she’s leaning into Vi’s space like she wants to be there.
“You’re so interesting, Vi.”
Not hot. Not cool. Not sexy.
Interesting.

KIM’S COUCH: Kim’s couch fucking hates you.
PAIN THRESHOLD: This is more than just uncomfortable. I think this thing is actually trying to kill you.
KIM’S COUCH: If I was trying to kill you, punk, you’d fucking know. Loose spring to the spleen, sudden frame collapse, maybe even - who knows - a slowly subsiding fall of cushions, suffocating you in the night. This? This is just a test of will, to see if you’re man enough for Kim. Which you aren’t, by the way.

Summary
The cabin the four of them find themselves in is - fine. It's sturdy, it's dry, it has everything they need to keep them alive and safe. But the only option for bathing is the big porcelain tub, and for Harrow, that's a problem.
[Or: I invent a scenario that causes Gideon and Harrow to bathe together and work through trauma, and also their stupid gay feelings]

Summary
Fifteen years (well, almost sixteen, let's be fair.) after setting off from Ohtori Academy, Anthy Himemiya has a nightmare. Like fairytales often go, the most simple solution is often the correct one; reality is the same, when you get down to brass tacks.
Or!

Summary
“I’m here to save you.” She places her other hand lightly on the pommel of the basket-hilted sword whose steel shaft runs ramrod straight through Utena’s heart. “You don’t have to bear this anymore.”
Utena’s fingers grasp at Anthy’s hand, gripping with all of her remaining strength. “No. NO!!" she cries. "You musn’t!! I won’t let you…” She turns her head, shrinking into the wall of the coffin, hair cascading in limp strands around her face, and she speaks in a quiet voice.
“I won’t...I won’t be like him.”
“You could never be. I had a think about it, while I was searching for you, and I won’t let anyone do that to me again. But you shouldn’t have to bear it alone.” She kisses Utena’s forehead. “Just give me your burden for a little while. Just long enough for you to rest.”
---------Four years after leaving Ohtori, Anthy finds Utena and rescues her - but that doesn't mean that the swords of hate just go away. A series of vignettes about Utena and Anthy's lives as they learn to live together sharing the swords, and build a healthy relationship with theirr own respective martyrdom complexes.

Summary
“And your parents?” Caitlyn asks, voice soft. And Vi flinches, but it’s a quiet plea- a gentle prodding, nothing more. So Vi ground herself in those crystalline eyes and says,
“Yeah. Killed by enforcers in the uprising. We… Powder and I… she was only five. Vander took us in.”
And then she has to bite back the crack in her voice, and look hurriedly away, because she’s afraid the raw anguish will spook Caitlyn, will eat away at what they have together.
But Caitlyn simply gazes at her, eyes heavy with sorrow, and Vi was wrong, wrong to ever doubt her, wrong to ever judge her for the badge she wore or the rifle she wielded, because Caitlyn is everything soft and potent and sincere.
And that touch, the soothing pressure against her hand, the warmth of their intertwined fingers; it’s like nothing Vi’s ever had. It’s addicting, dizzying, sends her mind spinning off with a deep sense of belonging.
It feels, for the first time in years, like home.Or
Vi never thought she'd get a second chance at life. Now, thrust back into a world she no longer recognizes, she sets out to reconnect with lost loved ones, bonding with a new one along the way.

Summary
After two weeks in an exhausted coma, Suletta finally wakes up.
(“Oh.” Something in Suletta’s face turns sly; for better or worse, this too is terribly attractive. “You missed me?” Her head tilts to the side in a slow motion, eyes scrunching in delight and rustling her pillow. “I’m sorry.”
None of it has ever been her fault, but Miorine is pretty sure she’s mostly joking anyway, mouth curling up into something more lopsided than usual. Miorine wants to say something else, but she’s already made a fatal error: her eyes get stuck on that little smile, zeroing in for more than a few seconds. She wants— )

Summary
She had half expected that Suletta would abandon her upon moving in to Earth House. They all seem to have more in common with one another than she and Miorine do, despite the divide between Earthian and Spacian. She’s somewhat mystified that Suletta continues to come around at all.
But then again, she is Suletta Mercury— her groom, her Holder, her business partner. She’s obviously taking her role very seriously.
“You don’t have to wait around every time you come here. I told you you could come inside,” says Miorine when Suletta draws level with her. “It’s a standing invitation.”
Miorine Rembran has never allowed herself to be vulnerable before. Then Suletta Mercury becomes her new Holder.

Summary
“I’ll teach you how to drive,” Beatrice mumbles. Exhaustion drags her vowels out more than usual, softer and messier than usual, and Ava wants to touch her, wants to fix the loose strand of hair over her temple, wants to press her fingertips to the freckles she knows are there even if the faint light hides them. “If you want."
“Gonna hold you to that one, Bea,” Ava says instead. It earns her a half a smile, sleepy and unguarded, even as Beatrice’s eyes stay closed, and Ava smiles for the first time since they were in the Vatican.

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.)
