Summary
Rhaenyra had to die.
Rhaenyra Strong was just another old money parasite, a relic of dynastic wealth, a siphon hooked into the throat of the world. An heir to nothing but greed. She would die, and the world would not notice, because the world was already dead. Because the wealthy had made it so. Because they had taken and taken and taken and Alicent had long since decided that she would take back.

Summary
But then, one day—
"It's okay," she breathes against Emily's mouth, three fingers deep inside her, and laces their hands together. "It's okay, baby, you're doing so good. You're perfect."
She feels Emily clenching harder against her, moving desperately until it becomes completely uncoordinated, and hears her whimper softly as she comes.
And oh, Andy thinks. That's certainly interesting.
OR
Andy founds out Emily has a praise kink.

The thing with secretly liking Andrea Sachs is that you like Andrea Sachs. And you always have. by orphan_account

Summary
The woman walking toward her was not the Andrea she remembered.
Or rather: she was, and she wasn't. The face was the same — the same particular warmth to it, the same mouth, slightly too wide for conventional beauty but somehow more interesting for it. But everything else had shifted. She carried herself differently. There was a straightness to her spine that hadn't been there before, a kind of settled confidence that showed not in how she held her shoulders but in how she held her ground.
or
Andrea is different now. Emily doesn't know what to do with that.

Summary
“I also found out about what happened between you and Dr. Langdon,”
Trinity freezes and suddenly she has no air in her lungs. Her hands leave her backpack to dig her nails in the flesh of her palms, and the pain seems to ground her, just like it used to.
“I didn't want anyone to get into trouble,” It comes bubbling out, far more meekly than she would've guessed it would.
Or,
Baran, Trinity and the gist of it all.

Summary
“Trust?” Zosia forced a humorless laugh. “That’s a pretty tall order. I don’t know anything about you.”
The woman considered this. She nodded, though it seemed mostly to herself.
“Okay, uh, what do you want to know?”
“To start, your name,” Zosia said. “And then maybe, I don’t know, why you’re here, what you do, a fun fact about yourself, things like that.”
The woman gave her an incredulous look.
“You wanna do fucking icebreakers right now?”
OR
Zosia gets unplurbed, and Carol has to be the guide through this insanity that she wishes she had while trapped in a one bedroom apartment and being probably madly in love with her.

Summary
Zosia raises an eyebrow. “We never lied to you. I never lied to you.”
“And I didn't either,” Carol says. “But you chose to leave out the truth so you could turn me into something you know I don’t want to be.”
“So what did you do to me then?”
There’s a moment where they just stare at each other, pain mirrored on both of their faces.

Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
“At least you are consistent with your body horror tropes,” she mumbles, disturbed and intrigued for the wrong reasons all at once. If she lingers any longer on that matter, she might have to wipe off her just eaten breakfast from the kitchen floor.
Zosia says nothing to that. Why would the Venus flytrap be concerned with the fly it has already successfully trapped?

Summary
Somewhere in India, a mother lingers in the doorway of her son’s moonlit bedroom, studying the sweet innocence of his sleeping face to remind herself that Carol’s perverse accusations carry no weight. You are my child, you are mine, only mine.
Carol would like for something to be just hers again. Would kill for it—maybe has already, eleven million times over. And perhaps Laxmi is onto something after all, then, because who wouldn’t sacrifice the entire world for the one they love most?
She drops all pretense and meets Zosia's eyes. However this all is going to end, it will hurt. Carol is quite suddenly sure of it. In the meantime, why not make it a little easier on herself, and on the person who against all odds is still here with her?
