    Summary

    "Low-content legacy". It's a polite way of saying "functionally mortal." Nicky Simons, centurion in name only, is as true a daughter of Rome as she knows how to be. She's the head of Logistics, Provisions, & Requisition, and that's enough. She does good work. Makes herself useful. Builds up little debts, and almost never calls them in. She's valuable to Rome, and people trust her. Once a punitive dumping ground for incompetence, Nick's tenure as officer saw LP&R claw its way into a proud, well-oiled machine. It's a small, unglamorous, non-combat division; but skilled and respected, the beating heart of the Legion.

    That's enough. It's all she ever needed. But when children, recruits, start going missing...suddenly those thousand little favors, sparks of light on dark nights that asked nothing in return, are about to blaze brighter than she could possibly have expected.

    Nicky Simons is a logistics officer. But she is as true a daughter of Rome as she knows how to be. And Rome needs her to be more.

    Touch of Vesta: WILDLY good. Made me laugh out loud AND cry at several points. I don't often read OC fic, but damn if this isn't worth it. Top tier adventure novel.

    Summary

    'They ask you of your Commander’s plans—about war, about battle. As they break your bones you do not know how to tell them that the only secrets you know about Lexa are that you met her when you were both so small. You do not know how to tell them that your commander buried small birds after she tried to mend their wings, that she has freckles across her nose in the summer, that her eyes are the color of the earth.'

    or: costia falls in love with lexa for a very long time. costia's pov.

    Summary

    (I’m petrified of this power you hold over me. Humans were not meant to love like a necromancer— to love as though you are controlling the very bones in my body, rebirthing me from a soil that I had not known I was buried in.)

    “You owe it to us, to tell me what’s going on,” Vi murmurs, and Caitlyn trembles in her hold.

    “If I say it,” Caitlyn says, and feels the regret building already, the way sediment builds on banks. “If I say it, then it becomes real. And I don’t— I want us to work, Violet. Fucking hell, please don’t make say it.”

    Summary

    "A part of Judith wants to defend Blanche, not caring that anything she says will fall on deaf ears, but she finds that words fail her. How to explain the pleasure of dark, quiet offices and one-sided lunches, of ravenous eyes and a razor-sharp tongue that every so often lays honeyed words at Judith’s feet? Judith simply gives Julia a closed-mouth smile. 'We get by.'"

    Summary

    No penetration, no oral. That’s the rule that exists without ever having been said out loud– a wall they both approach, think about scaling every time, but neither of them ever makes the first move. This time it’s nothing to do with vulnerability. Mira’s been in therapy long enough now to understand when she’s wearing her detachment like armour, and this isn’t one of those times. This is about something far harder to articulate. This is about Rumi.

    They ought to have a conversation, but finding the words seems impossible. The girl they both love and almost lost is an elephant in their bedroom that just so happens to be standing– in that beautiful, stubborn way of hers– directly on the bed.

    OR

    Mira and Zoey are fooling around in secret and it's making their sex life...weird. Yes this is titled after the stupid "myth of consensual sex" jesus meme xxx
