Summary
Helen felt like he could read her mind at times, and she his. It should’ve been unsettling, being known so intimately like that, but it only ever really brought her comfort. Because it was him, and not anyone else, who was capable of it.
It occurred to her some way down her third dram, maybe a little tipsy and sentimental, that more than anything else she wanted to be at home, in bed, with her husband who was somehow here in one piece despite all the odds and how easily he could’ve not been.

Summary
"When Helen is twelve years old, she learns three things. Firstly, men cannot always be trusted. Secondly, it is her responsibility to protect herself. Lastly — and most importantly — the farm comes first."
A character study of Helen Alderson, from childhood to young adulthood and into her marriage. Through her encounters with lovers and would-be lovers, Helen discovers what she doesn't want, what she does want, and finally, how to ask for it.
Fundamentally a Helen/James fic with significant diversions along the way. Features bisexual Helen, implied bisexual James, and subtle set-up of Helen/James/Tristan.

Summary
A few months into his marriage, James is still not the most effective or consistent lover. He can tell Helen is unsatisfied, but it seems she doesn't want to make him feel any worse about the situation, so they simply struggle to talk about it all.
Tristan doesn't need much (any) invitation to try to solve the problem.
“I don’t even want to know what you’re about to say,” says James.
“Did you have this problem before?”
James’ mind is blank. “Before what?”
“Before….” Tristan closes his mouth. “Actually, now that I’ve said it out loud, I understand my mistake and I apologize.”
