The Place Where We Can Stop Running by Dame Harmony (Dame_Harmony)

Summary
Set in GlitchyRobo's Human Domestication Guide setting.
Humanity has been invaded by a precursor race of hypercompetent plant dommes called the Affini, and forcibly given paradise in a post-scarcity culture that heavily prioritizes the care for its protectorates, to the point of drugging and mind-controlling them into a blissful reverie if necessary. For almost everyone this is a vast improvement. All that's required is to give up any silly notions that anyone except for the Affini know what's best for everyone; in many cases the poor things clearly don't.
Chloë Sulla, our protagonist, has been running for too long. Clover Fabaceae, Fourth Bloom has plenty of experience with those who can't slow down. When you finally come face-to-face with the thing you've been trying to avoid all this time, do you have the courage to stop?
This story uses emoji to represent the Affini languge, including the names of some characters. If this is distracting or difficult to follow, most instances of this can be converted to English by using the "Hide Creator's Style" button at the top of this page.

Summary
A mild alteration on the security of blood bag distribution was one of the many changes that meant nothing to the average citizen of Brypso 3 37 and meant absolutely everything to Dust. She clutched in her hands a bag- the *last* bag, her brain intrusively reminded her- of type O+ blood. Her usual phlebotomist had given her a pitying look as they explained they couldn't help her anymore. Policy changes, structural changes, blah blah blah more of the affini coming in and making things more efficient and benevolent and whatever. Dust didn't care about the broad strokes of a shifting world until it decided to come in and barrel her over.

Summary
Those bruised lips drew back into a vicious smirk, and for the first time, Harrow felt off-balance. Some dormant animal instinct struggled to not flinch away as Ianthe closed the distance between them. “I want to taste you,” she whispered breathily, eying the exposed sliver of her throat with embarrassing want. “Not fucking likely,” Harrow replied.
The once-Reverand Daughter is now a dutiful agent of the Order; tasked with rooting out bloodstarved aberrations. Despite her best efforts, she's fallen into Ianthe Tridentarius' debt, and driven away her sworn blade.
She tries to fix this. Things go quite poorly.
