    Summary

    Unlike her wife, Helen walks toward Zosia first, wrapping her arms around Zosia’s lithe frame in a warm, comfortable embrace.

    Zosia happily returns the hug, hands splayed against Helen’s back as they stand together for a few seconds. Then, she steps back and turns to face Carol, who has already pulled both of her suitcases out of the trunk.

    “You aren’t going to say hi to me first?” Zosia teases with a pout, tilting her head as she watches Carol.

    Carol freezes instantly, releasing her grip on the handles of Zosia’s suitcases as she realizes she’d jumped into chivalrous mode on instinct. A light blush paints her cheeks, and she bites her lip as she looks up to meet Zosia’s gaze.

    “Hi,” she says shyly.

    Zosia’s pout deepens. “That’s it? I came all this way, and all I get is a shy little hi?”

    Summary

    “You were looking like a lost puppy, all alone here at the bar.”, The Pirate Lady smirks at her.

    “Hah! I’ve been told I have that kind of face.”, Carol's trying, and failing, to act nonchalant. 

    Zosia leans closer, warm breath in her ear, “I thought someone should come claim you.”

    Her long fingers close around Carol’s forearm and she’s got nothing, no smart comeback, no snarky remarks, not even an awkward laugh. She suddenly becomes a teenage virgin who’s never once been flirted with, her  breathing turns shallow and she’s now struggling not to hyperventilate. Zosia’s near and attentive enough to notice it. 

    “Carol, Would you like to go outside with me?”, and it’s the stupidest question ever asked in the history of stupid questions, because Carol would agree to go anywhere with this woman right now.

    Summary

    Carol had a long, long list of things she felt guilty about. The way she had treated her first girlfriend, being close to the top. The way she had treated every girlfriend up to Helen taking joint space. Her drinking. The two DUIs. Never getting her shit together long enough to have children with Helen. Never coming out professionally. Writing books that she’d come to hate due to her own cowardice. Taking Helen for granted.

    Not quitting drinking during Helen’s lifetime. Being capable of change only when the one person it would’ve meant anything to was no longer alive to see it.

    Alternatively: Zosia torments Carol though the medium of Eurodance.

    No ducks were harmed in the writing of this fic.

    Summary

    Rhea doesn’t kiss like Zosia. Nor does she kiss like Carol. There’s no one to compare her to. Maybe a long-ago fantasy, something that flitted through Karolina’s mind while she sat on someone’s floor and watched Dirty Dancing. A dream she had once but forgot upon waking.

    ---------

    Karolina takes the night off of dream work, but the dream works her anyway.

    Summary

    “Hello again, Carol,” the woman says, and sits.
    Carol suddenly has no idea what to do with her hands, and just says hello back. Like a robot, or someone who has only just learned what the word hello means in English.
    “Sorry, did no one tell you I would be here? I must have looked so strange to you walking in like this.”
    That must have been what Val was saying last night. The book cover model was coming to the reading. The book cover model has been tasked with doing the big speech Raban has in the middle of the book, and Val wanted to run it by Carol first. The book cover model is a woman and they’ve been putting her in Raban drag to shoot the covers rather than getting another man to do it. Goddamnit. She has to start paying attention during Val’s fucking phone calls.
