Summary
“Physical assault and any other such behavior is not something that will be tolerated in the force and any officer, regardless of their station, that goes against that will face legal repercussions,” she started, holding back a wince when she felt Vi’s hands freeze around hers. “And that’s something that I want to personally see implemented.”
---
Aka Caitlyn, now that she is Sheriff, wants the wardens that had hurt Vi punished. And Vi is on board, at least on a surface level.Series

Summary
Every resident of the town of Silvercloud knows that something isn’t quite right about their home. It’s an ancient instinct, a drive for self-preservation, for knowing when you’re being hunted. They may not consciously know that their town was a nexus for all kinds of the supernatural, but something still drove them to check the locks every night.
But that’s why Ruby wants to be a Hunter. Why she wants to help her family keep her town safe against the wraiths, the ghosts, and above all else, the vampires.
The Schnee bloodline have preyed upon the citizens of Silvercloud since they helped build the town itself, and Ruby knows that the next scion, Weiss, isn't going to be any different from her predecessors. No matter how much she seems like she wants to be better, or how she shows a level of restraint that should break her just to attempt, deep down she was just as monstrous as all the others of her kind.
…right?

Summary
Ruby Rose languishes in her humble shop, wasting her days with her useless degree while her sister does awesome mecha stuff across the galaxy. Nobody knows or cares about her specialty, they just want their busted cybers fixed.
Fortunately for her, that means there's nobody else for a biotech-augmented Weiss Schnee to seek maintenance from. All she has to do is keep her eyes up, keep her hands steady, and do what she's best at. It's a bag she couldn't possibly fumble.
So long as she doesn't stare at those stupid, sexy augs.

Summary
It was natural, right? To want that for herself: someone to tell her who she was, in her entirety, in her truth, whenever she forgot. For her heart to lurch forward and go God, give it to me, where do I start and then fall flat when it came up empty, like expecting a three-course meal only to end up swallowing air.
Adora had always been good at self-control - one of the perks of a life spent in service of whatever she thought was the greater good. But now this hunger had started in her, and there was nothing preventing it from developing further.
And it was all Catra’s fault.A year after the war, Adora returns to Etheria. She finds everything has changed, except the thing that really should have.

Summary
Catra never cared much about Bright Moon’s local superheroes until She-ra rescues her from an attack by the latest would-be supervillain the Horde spat out. She has been lonely ever since the fight that finally ended her and Adora’s friendship, but she didn’t expect She-ra to be too. For some reason, though, she keeps coming around.
Adora knows it’s masochistic to try to befriend Catra the only way she’s allowed to be close to her anymore, but when the stress of her secret identity already broke them apart, it might be the only thing that could bring them together again now.

Summary
Vaggie’s told the basics—she was a prostitute, she used to struggle with addiction, she fell into Hell, she met and befriended Charlie, she fell in love, enter the Happy Hotel and it’s quirky characters with a background of fierce devotion and loyalty to her awesome girlfriend.
But there’s a lot more to it than what she likes to tell.
___________
The working title for this was “I wanted to end pride month with a bang” and I chose to share that with y’all, ‘cause it was, frankly, brilliant.I had this in my drafts, workshopping it, adding on new details, and now it’s gone—but, y’know, one of the hardest pieces of writing advice I’ve ever taken to heart is that when a scene, or the words, or the moment isn’t working, the best thing you can do is delete every fucking word you’re struggling with and start from scratch.
…I’m making a career outta this.

Summary
Get a grip, she urges herself. When confronted with danger, it doesn’t work to curl into a ball and shut down. If she’d been in the habit of that she would still be back in the Boston QZ, huddling like a scared rabbit in that ruined mall. Threats must be met with counter-threats, with action. She can’t jump back in time and beg Joel not to do the thing he’s done. The thing he’s let them do to him.
And if you could do it over you’d have to go back and change it more. If he’d never met you, he’d have never done this. All he’s done is what he’s been doing since you’ve been with him, placing himself between an Infected or a bullet or a blade. Again.
Or
When their attempts to use Ellie to make a vaccine or a cure fail, the Fireflies fall back on some alternatives.
Or
There are no lengths Joel won’t go to in order to protect Ellie from letting herself die for the cure.

Summary
“It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”
It was loving in the beginning.

Summary
It takes her a second to realise that it's Franziska von Karma who's standing in the doorway, refined and perfect as always - and she's looking down at Maya, who's crying on the ground.
The momentary shock is enough to stop the near-constant flow of tears, enough that her vision clears enough for her to properly see her standing there, expression sort of half shocked and half confused.
“...Maya Fey.”
Maya looks up through her hair where she’s knelt on the floor, her eyes still sticky with tears and her face tinged red - and she realises with a hot sort of humiliation that her nose is probably running too. Franziska von Karma, her outfit without so much as a crease and her shoes perfectly polished and her hair neat and shiny has opened the door to Maya, who is at least 60% sure she has a snotty nose.
or: after 3-5, maya grieves.

Summary
Beacon was supposed to be something new. Something wonderful and curious, a place she could learn to be her own person—no longer under the thumb of her father and away from the untold amount of Atlesian political consequences. She didn’t have to fear for her siblings at Beacon, didn’t have to fear for those whose strings sought her out in a frenzy—didn’t have to fear for potential bonded entwining their souls with hers.
Or; Weiss knew she wasn't good at things like this.

Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
Kobeni Higashiyama was terrified of Ms. Makima. This statement should elicit a feeling much like the experience of a blue sky, or green grass. The warmth of a big, bright Sun, perhaps. That is to say, all of the constants in the world exactly as one would expect to find them. As Kobeni was terrified of most anyone, and most anyone with sense was terrified of Makima, this was, to reiterate, perfectly natural.

Summary
It’s a bit like trying on an old jacket, settling into Jackson. The general shape of it is familiar, even comforting in its own way, but there’s an adjustment period, a little breaking-in until everything fits like it should.
Well, it’s like an old jacket for him. The way Ellie looks sometimes, completely bewildered and turning to him for reassurance or clarification, he thinks it’s a bit more like trying on a Halloween costume for her.
Tommy and Maria had brought them their meals at first, and he’d at least been gratified to get some real food into her. After Silver Lake, she’d been off all meat for a long while, and in the hospital, exhaustion and pain had stolen what little appetite she’d managed to recover by that point. There’d been a little adjustment period here in Jackson, when they fell back on their routine of him taking bites of meat first to reassure her they were safe, but she’s slowly begun building back some flesh on her skinny little self, and it’s like he can feel a bit of his own restlessness settle with each plate of cheesy potatoes she downs with relish.
(settling into jackson goes well, giving joel and ellie their first taste of peace)
(and then someone sees ellie's bite scars)
