Summary
"'thank you for my first slumber party.'
samira is so close. trinity aches and wants and wants and fucking wants, all the time, until it eats her from the inside out, rotten and wrong. but samira is so soft and lovely and trinity has let her in, and she's still in her bed, even in the dark. it's a young feeling, one trinity never really got to have, she'll realize belatedly, to have her heart race in her chest and her palms suddenly get sweaty: not the aniticipation of easy, meaningless sex, or even the thrill of flirting. trinty brings her palm to samira's jaw. 'can i kiss you?'
'yes,' samira says simply, a brief look of utter relief crossing her face that makes trinity smile as she leans forward and presses her lips against samira's. she tastes like wine and popcorn and spearmint toothpaste and trinity presses her knee between samira's legs. she feels a wound begin to close, somewhere deep inside her, as samira scrapes her teeth along trinity's bottom lip: still gentle, still kind. they kiss for a little bit more, then back up, rest their foreheads against each other."

Summary
Zoey is broke, boyfriend-less, and her parents are fighting again.
Mira is broke, aggressively single thanks, and angry at the world in a way that feels like it'll never stop.
Rumi is fine. Really.
//
There are demons in city. One can always tell by the miasma - the stench of ash and fear - and the soaring number of missing persons. No one is safe. Not the street kids who skate at the edge of the park. Not the ancient halmeonim in the nursing home. Not the business men carousing in bars, or chaperones guiding kids through the museum, or buskers plucking away at an inherited bipa. There are demons in the city. And they are hungry.

Summary
“So what will you do now?” Kate asks curiously.
It is a simple question, but it's one Yelena has avoided asking herself for years, finding the moments it slipped through the cracks of her best laid plans, now all ground into dust at her feet, to be particularly uncomfortable. There has always been a job to do; or rather, there has always been a job Yelena has taken, hoping it might sand the gritty surface of her new reality down or at least fill in the gaps she did not care to peel further apart and examine closer.
It has been a lifetime since she has had nothing to do.

Summary
Unfortunately for Rumi, she's in love with her group mates. Unfortunately for Rumi, she doesn't know that she's already dating them.
After hiding her demon heritage, deflecting romantic gestures, and convincing herself she doesn't deserve love, Rumi finally has to face the truth about her relationship with her bandmates. Mira wants her to stop running. Zoey wants her to stop explaining away their affection. Rumi wants to stop being afraid of having everything she's ever wanted.
(Or, 5 times Rumi convinces herself she's not dating Mira and Zoey +1 time she finally accepts it.)

Summary
After an eventful Christmas Eve - fighting Yelena, Kingpin, and arresting her mother - Kate Bishop just wanted to come to terms with a lesson on heroics she thought had come unfairly quickly and what better way to do that than drowning her sorrows at a dive bar?
And if Yelena turned up with a bottle of vodka and the vaguest overture of friendship...Kate was going to be suspicious but she could do with a friend.

Summary
“Yeah, unless I don’t finish my degree.” It’s a grumpy little mumble, barely meant for Yelena, but she responds to it nevertheless.
“What do you mean?“ she demands. “You only have a small amount of time left! Why would you stop now?”
“I don’t know,” Kate murmurs, and Yelena is bewildered to hear a faint echo in her own emptiness, coming from nearly six thousand kilometers away. “I just don’t really know what to do now, I guess. Clint says I’m the new Hawkeye, but that’s not official or anything. And even when it is, it’s going to be a lot of training. So I’m waiting to wait, or something, and — and I don’t know why I’m talking to you about this, actually.”
“Sometimes, it’s nice to just talk,” Yelena thinks and then says. “But I don’t think you should drop out of school, Kate Bishop. School is cool.”

(Yelena decides to go to college. It just so happens to be the same one Kate Bishop attends.)

Summary
It was entirely unfair, Alicent thought, that on this day (a day where she was hungover, had no make-up on, was sweating to the point that she could feel it beading on her temple and upper lip, and her shirt was sticking everywhere) she would come face-to-face with the most gorgeous woman she had ever seen.
“Hi,” the object of Alicent’s frustration said amiably, standing behind the till in the Student Union’s coffee shop. “How are you?”
In which Alicent Hightower drinks coffee, makes small talk, and really, really fancies her favourite barista.

Summary
“Alicent, we can’t just,” She whispered, “Kiss again and act like this year wasn’t strange. I don’t want to ruin our friendship.”
Alicent sat on her feet and looked away. She gnawed on her bottom lip, figuring out what she wants to say.
“We can just,” Alicent let out a long breath, “We can just make this our secret at camp. And it doesn’t have to exist outside of here.”

Summary
“There is something else you should know, before you come. I’d hate for you to be blindsided.”
'The way I was when Rhaenyra got married?' She almost asks, but holds her tongue.
“Yes?” She says, instead.
Viserys clears his throat. “It’s about Rhaenyra.”
“Of course it is.” She can’t hold back a biting remark. She wonders what it is this time. Has The Realm’s Delight decided to introduce a third person into her loving marriage? Rhaenyra’s never been quite satisfied with the conventional, after all. Or, perhaps, she’s pregnant again, with her third. It’s a daughter, perhaps. She’s always wanted a daughter. “What is it?”
“Well, she’s back from Essos. And… Her divorce has been finalised.”
Alicent needs to sit down.
//
Or, ex-childhood friends reunite after years of avoiding each other, and the entire Targaryen-Velaryon clan plays matchmakers.

Summary
Rhaenyra doesn’t think it’s necessarily polite to swing through the open window of their ex-girlfriend’s apartment in the middle of the night just to bleed all over her couch, but it’s certainly better than the alternative. That said, when Alicent discovers them, she might just decide to finish what the explosion started, so Rhaenyra’s fate is still yet to be determined.
or, a Spider-Man AU.

Summary
That’s the problem with newly-sharpened pencils. “Then what?” They’re always a second away from needing a new sharpen, a second away from—
“I mean, I need you to be my date.”
—breaking. Alicent presses too hard, then, and the lead falls flat with a snapping noise. “What?”
FEATURING: a very fake relationship, a very real wedding, a play with five acts, and two people who are definitely not in love.

Summary
“I saw you at a gay club,” is, admittedly, not the strongest way she’s ever started a conversation, especially not with the way it stumbles out of her—awkward and thoughtless.
In front of her, Alicent isn’t even finished sitting down. Rhaenyra doesn’t know what she expects in response—maybe for Alicent to stutter and deny, in shame and in anger, or for her to just end this meeting right at this moment and call it a mistake.
Instead, Alicent flushes instantaneously, all the way to her ears, drops down into her seat, and sighs. “You still haven’t developed any kind of subtlety, have you?”
“My bad,” Rhaenyra tries, giving her a sheepish half-grin.
.

Summary
She’s not—it’s not even remotely fair to say she’s in love with Rhaenyra, just because the last time she was so bone-deep exhausted after they’d wrapped production she'd had them drop her at Rhaenyra’s flat and told her just hold me, hold me, make it okay. Or because Rhaenyra had stayed with her, in the hospital. Or because she'd made it okay.
“Alicent,” Laena moans. “You couldn’t be more in love with her if you were characters in Notting Hill.”
(a modern AU friends-to-lovers where it is completely okay to kiss your friend at a gala and openly beef with her ex and cuddle in her bed because that is completely platonic and not complicated and she's completely not in love with you)

Modern AU
“So you’ve never… Not even with yourself?” Something else occurs to Laena, then. “Wait, you’ve had sex with other people, right?”
Alicent wildly looks around as she shushes her. “Good Lord, Laena, scream it louder, why don’t you?” She snaps, before taking another breath and dropping her head in her hands. “How embarrassing. Yes, of course I’ve had sex. I’m thirty years old, and I’m not asexual as far as I know.”
“So you simply do not… finish?” Laena says, catching herself just in time. She’s pretty sure Alicent would explode if she heard her say come. And not in a good way.
or,
Laena learns Alicent has never had an orgasm and immediately makes it her life's mission to set her up with someone capable of being a generous lover - and who's better for the job than her beloved cousin and the wayward heiress of the Targaryen aircraft empire?
