Tags
Summary
What would she have said? That she lived for the times she made Blake smile? That there was no one else she'd rather fight beside? That she'd forgotten every boy in the dormitory the moment she saw the girl with the bow reading by candlelight? That on the nights where she dreamed, she dreamed of amber eyes?
Or
After the fall of Beacon, Yang wonders if she could've made Blake stay.

Summary
Two girls in the apocalypse, secrets living in Bonnie's head that she will never tell a soul, sweet things that went sour, bitter, salty as blood. Hands clawing at a cheek they once cupped.

Or
Bonnie, The Star, and mutually assured destruction.

I'd say I'm in too deep (but I've never seen these waters) by gayestcatra
Fandoms: First Kill (TV 2022)
04 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
It doesn't matter what her heart says. She's read enough to know: this is the kind of narrative that spells doom from the start.
Girls don't crush on vampires and come out of it safe and sound. Feuds always kill the people who dare cross the battle lines. Obsession is deadly, and often, so is love.
Or
Cal, Jules, and the inevitability of doomed love.

Summary
That's the only reason this is a big deal, Yaz tells herself. Just because it's rare, that's all. Not because it makes her feel warm right down to her heart in a way she can't quite define (a way, if she was being really honest, she doesn't want to.) Not because the Doctor's hands are surprisingly soft, given all the 'tinkering' she does. Not because there's something heart-stoppingly close about it, from someone who still hides so much of herself, holds herself apart.
No. Just because it hasn't really happened before.
Or
The Doctor holds Yaz's hand, and Yaz definitely doesn't overthink it, no, not at all.

lover to lover (blue to red) by gayestcatra

07 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Dear Blue,
I have spilled enough to know blood is supposed to be finite, endings begotten by losing too much. I have killed enough to know survival is alleged to be a kindness. I have heard voice after voice plead for it, for one more moment, one more day.
Tell me, then, why this still bleeds, infinite, and why despite it, I still survive. Tell me then why surviving in any strand without you is a cruelty I can find no delight in.
Or
After losing Blue, Red learns what it is to bleed.

“Come back one day, okay? Come back soon.”
Or
Four times, four ways, Kena wishes Ziki would come back to her.

08 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
You, and hating you, and fighting you, and then not hating you, and fighting for you... that was all I really knew of being alive. God knows (or maybe not; I hope he doesn't) that there was nothing else to live for in that grimy place but the battle we fought, back and forth like a conversation that never ended.
That's the problem: without that conversation, it's too quiet.
Or
Of life, and death, and the spaces between. (AKA Gideon's living death isn't living, without Harrow.)

I was seeing black and white (and now I'm living in color) by gayestcatra
Fandoms: Warrior Nun (TV)
09 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Ava flops on her back in the grass and closes her eyes, and Beatrice watches the play of the sinking sun on her skin, the softness of her posture, the small smile that hovers on her lips. Breath hesitates in her lungs at the sight, and she ought to look away, she really ought to. Only every time she does, every time she swallows it down, she feels echoes of that vault she used to live in, feels the shadows close around her again.
Just in this moment, she's too tired of it. Just in this moment, she lets herself watch.
Or
The Alps, and Ava, and Beatrice breathing half-free after a lifetime hiding in the shadows.

Summary
“Kit.” Jade caught her hand, a press of sword-calloused palms like a reminder of the fight that bound them. “There's never gonna be a day where you jump off the world and I don't follow.”
“You devoted your sword to Tir Asleen,” Kit said, holding her hand tighter, searching her face for something. “Tir Asleen lied to you, Jade. My mother–”
“To Tir Asleen, yeah,” Jade agreed. “To Sorsha. But mostly to you.”
Or
Kit asks Jade why she jumped off the edge of the world for her.

Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
11 Feb 2024

Summary
“You just... you touch lips, and...” Ty Lee shakes her head, a trace of panic in her wide brown eyes. Part of her is scared of Azula, just like everyone is, and right now, that, too, makes Azula feel ashamed. “I don't know. I can't explain it. Unless...” She swallows, bites her lip, then looks back at Azula, a new layer of nervousness in her expression. “I could show you.”
Or
What if, on Ember Island, Azula kissed Ty Lee instead?

Maybe Harley's just drunk, maybe she's in love, but she's thinking words like goddess.

14 Feb 2024

Summary
This is all too fast. She can still taste ice cream on her tongue. She's still wearing the same jacket she put on back before she had any idea this could be the end of them.
It should be bigger than this. Bigger than a bunch of unsaid words, like what they were was something small.
Or
Yaz, and the Doctor, and an ending full of unsaid words.

Summary
Mara: a ghost who brings warmth.
Those words should not exist in her as anything more than impersonal definitions of concepts too living for her to ever understand. They should be in files marked superstition and emotion and irrelevant.
But Mara. Mara, the ghost with warmth, the ghost of warmth. Mara, the haunting.
Or
Somewhere deep in her data, Light Hope is haunted by a memory.

it was love, it was heat (it was true) by gayestcatra
Fandoms: The Dragon Prince (Cartoon)
17 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
For ordinary people, protection means fighting for someone, trying to keep them out of danger at all costs. But they're warriors, and to stay safe and coddled and out of danger would mean to stop being who they are. So protection means standing beside each other to fight, and when they can't stand together, it means doing all they can to make sure the other wins the battle.
It's my heart for yours, my soul for yours, my sword for yours, always and forever.
Or
After they return to the camp, Amaya gives Janai back her sword.

Or
Korra's a wannabe knight on a quest for a girl most believe to be a story. But the girl in the tower is real, and not at all what she expected.

When they write the history books, if they want to take out the parts with my name, they'll have to redact your whole life. No matter what they decide to call me, I'll be there.”
