Summary
Sue liked to think of herself as someone who wasn’t totally miserable, and found fun in a lot of activities — telling or hearing a good joke, eating a tub of ice cream, watching the first ice hockey game of the season. But joining Emily’s amateur production of As You Like It, due to open in six weeks at the local theatre, was nowhere on her list of fun pastimes.
(In which Sue discovers the joys of iambic pentameter, confronts long-repressed emotional issues, and tries to figure out how to pretend to be in love with your best friend for theatrical purposes without acknowledging that you're actually already in love with your best friend. Not necessarily in that order.)

Summary
“Oh, fine.” Natalie replied. “A little warm for fur, isn’t it?”
“It’s faux. Don’t get any ideas about red paint.”
“Hm. Okay.” Natalie nodded, then sucked in a breath. “So, you’re a lesbian, though?”
Lottie straightened and shut the fridge door, then turned back to Natalie. She had a bottle of water in her hand. “Don’t be reductive, Nat, I could be bisexual.”
“…are you bisexual?”
Lottie looked at her like she was stupid. “No, I’m a lesbian.”
*
Or,A year after moving in with Lottie, Natalie makes a discovery about her roommate that sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic proportions.

Summary
Lena lets out a careful breath and says, “James and I have decided to end our— association.”
What a perfectly weird and roundabout way to describe the end of a romantic relationship, Kara thinks. “Oh?” she says, aptly demonstrating her own comparative lack of eloquence.
It earns her one of Lena’s crinkly smiles at least, affection clear on her best friend’s face. “Should I feel offended that you don’t seem all that surprised?” she flusters.
“No,” Kara says, “I am,” and she is, is the thing, she's actually stunned, but she’s something else, much more than that.
She’s elated.
“Bummer,” Kara says.
-
In which Kara makes a tiny new enemy, Alex has an actual functioning gaydar, and Lena breaks up with James only to immediately start seeing someone else. And Kara is fine! Except for the part where she’s really, really not.

Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)

Summary
Post-Sodden. Fringilla knew exactly what she was doing when she poisoned Tissaia: that woman was the heart of the Brotherhood and if she died, the organisation would crumble without her guidance. It was a clever plan and it looked like Fringilla would get what she wanted.
With lungs filled with dimeritium, Tissaia feels herself slowly withering away. Not even her best efforts can save herself from the inevitable.
If only Yennefer would just let her go gracefully into the night.

Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

Summary
Love songs are amazing at capturing the emotions during specific parts of a love story, such as an ending, a beginning, or some time in between. It’s a snapshot. A moment. Written out of order, this series uses those moments to explore the more painful side of love and the choices Fleur and Hermione make over the years.

Summary
Magical mistletoe that rang a tinkling bell or showered confetti after a kiss? Hermione would’ve considered it fairly tame for a Weasley-instigated game if not for the fact that when it came time to kiss the annoying Fleur Delacour, there was no tinkling bell and no confetti. Why didn’t it work with her when she earned bell chimes with the others? Was it a holiday party conspiracy? Did the mistletoe hate them? How could she fail at something as simple as a kiss? Hermione Granger never failed. Ever. Fortunately for her, the Veela had a competitive streak that matched her own
