Summary
Her reflection, it can’t be. Her muzzle is lean, auburn fur, two pointed ears, with the smallest tufts of hair sticking up at the points.
It"s a vision, or a hallucination, or she died and the Goddess reincarnated her as a dog.
AKA: Tally touches an object in the woods and get transformed into a dog. Antics, angst, and love ensue.

Bookmarker's Notes
“What does dying feel like?”
“Relief.” No hesitation. “When it finally comes, it’s like the embrace of an old friend meeting you after waiting for many years.”
“What does coming back feel like?” Sarah asks this so softly she half thinks she only uttered it in her head.
“It feels like hunger.” Tally closes her eyes, her brows crease in memory and something else Sarah can’t decipher. “Pained, desperate, all consuming hunger.” -

“Goodbye Sarah,” Tally said, stepping away from her.
“Wait!” Tally turned to look at Sarah over her shoulder. She looked a little lost. “I don’t even know your name.”
“That’s okay,” Tally said with a sad smile. “You can forget about me now.” -

“What are you doing?” Alder asked in a raised voice.
“What am I doing? What are you doing?” Tally asked and if she hadn’t been so focused on her own frustration and anger, then she might have noticed the look of surprise on Alder’s face.
“You’re the one going through my things.”
“And you’re the reason I’m covered in these,” Tally practically yelled as she lifted her shirt over her head and threw it on the floor. -

General Alder took another step. “I said, I didn’t accept. Petra wanted to reinstate me as head of the army. Just between us, I think that maybe the job turned out to be more than she’d bargained for.” Her lips twitched again, and her eyes twinkled. “But I turned her down.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Tally did as she was told, removing her outer layer so she kneeled before Alder in her gray tank top. Goosebumps began prickling on her arms from the sudden lack of insulation as well as the electricity that seemed to hang in the air as Alder stood in front of her, Tally’s gaze fixed on her boots. Alder crouched down and barely traced a finger along the line of Tally’s jaw, drawing her head upwards, allowing Tally to drink up her eyes for as long as she could before she had to break away. Too full. Too much. Too good. She heard Alder chuckle softly and then felt something soft and smooth pass along the back of her neck, around her throat, and then drop into view. Alder held a bundle of sleek, black rope in her hands.

Bookmarker's Notes
Love… Oh. That’s why this hurt so much. That’s why she felt hollow at the thought of losing Tally- she loved Tally. Sarah felt the bond between them hum with appreciation and approval at this realization. The bond filled her with warmth, light, and certainty- it filled her with love. She loved Tally and the President expected her to kill her.

Bookmarker's Notes
One dance turns into two and then three until they’ve lost count and the need for words. The moon shines on them and they exist alone in this moment.
Tomorrow the Biddies will show Sarah the golden threads that extended from their hearts and surrounded and engulfed them as they danced. Tomorrow Major Verger will tell her that she hasn’t seen such subtle and powerful work in quite some time. Tomorrow Anacostia will sit with her in silence and not tease her at all about Tally Craven.
But tonight, they dance.

Bookmarker's Notes
The first thing Tally noticed when her eyelids blearily fluttered open was that she was incredibly warm and cozy. The next was that she wasn’t waking up in her bed. She jolted up, but very quickly made a third realization, she couldn’t completely raise her head, because there was currently a hand tangled in her hair gently stroking through long red locks. The hand stilled when Tally stirred but didn’t withdraw. Tally felt her heart falter in her chest as her senses caught up and she was overwhelmed with the knowledge that the hand gently carding through her hair belonged to none other than General Alder.

Alder looked up, hands still brushing the coat below her. "Where is Craven? She would love this."
The puppy barked happily, earning a beaming smile from Alder.
"She would absolutely lose her mind over you," Alder spoke sweetly. She leaned over, kissing the puppy on the snout. -

Yule is upon Fort Salem, and Tally has so many gifts to give.

Bookmarker's Notes
Now why on earth would truth serum chocolates be a bad idea?
They weren’t the fanciest gifts. Tally had never had much money. But they were meaningful and specific, and to her, that had always been what the Sabbat was about—connection. And for the General, for Sarah, for the one person she most wanted to spend her Yule with if the Goddess was merciful enough to grant such a wish, she’d gotten only sincere gifts. Three, in fact.

Summary
“Can I help?” Tally murmurs and plucks at the collar of Sarah’s uniform jacket with a questioning quirk of her brow.
There’s a part of Sarah that wants to say no. The prideful part of her that loathes ceding any kind of control at all, even to something as small as letting her lover undress her after a long day of holding the General’s mantle in place.
After a long and tiring day Tally strips away The General"s layers until she"s Sarah again, and reminds her in the process that she doesn"t always have to bear the burden alone.

Her arms strained with the effort of keeping her close. “And Tally, I know you are not fond of following my orders.” Craven laughed, bubbly and soft, and she pulled back enough that Sarah could see the glisten in her eyes. “Do not let go. That is an order, Cadet.”

Bookmarker's Notes
"Craven?" What"s wrong?” Alder tried not to sound as worried as she really felt. There were too many messy questions and thoughts in her head. And she didn’t understand where it all suddenly came from. But this girl, exhausted, in pain, she just couldn’t and didn’t want to back down from her. If she really had seen her memories, God, what else had she experienced? And how the hell did no one notice? Alder was angry, at herself first of all. She shouldn"t have let this happen.
"My back hurts," Tully hissed, "why does it hurt so much? I do not understand.” Tully looked at Alder questioningly, as if asking for help, for anything.

Bookmarker's Notes
Then you hear it – the song behind the storm. It’s full and sharp, a war cry of righteous rage and deep loss. It tastes like blood and tears in your mouth, and it makes your teeth ache. It feels so frighteningly familiar, but it couldn’t be. You lost her. Your traitorous heart ricochets in your chest anyway as you follow the glowing streams of the seed up and up. Your breath stutters and stops for one sharp moment.
You can barely see her even with your Sight, but you’d know that profile anywhere, the whipcord leanness of her body held just so, the sharp, strong jaw, the imperious tilt of her head.
The storm drops as quickly as it came, only a light mist of rain still falling. She’s dropping toward you with the slow, lazy grace of a salva drop. You swear she’s looking right at you, but that couldn’t be. There’s a tightness in your throat as she lands gently a good dozen yards from your group. Your mind is blank, trying to process the sight of General Sarah Alder standing in front of you. You’re not the only one. -

“I wasn’t expecting that,” She says, and Sarah shakes her head with a gentle laugh, eyes crinkling.
“Neither was I,” Sarah admits softly. “But when it comes to you, I have found myself doing a lot of unexpected things lately.” She strokes Tally’s cheek again, the crowd of people around them too busy celebrating the New Year to even notice the two of them. “I just want you to be happy, Tally.”
