Summary
She kisses Yang back just as furiously, teeth biting on her bottom lip hard enough to hurt, and when they part her swollen lip is the only thing Blake’s able to comprehend - how pretty Yang looks without her cocky smile, when her mouth is relegated to other things and can’t fucking speak. How pretty she looks when she’s so close Blake can barely see the details, cataloging the sun setting against a lavender sky and the tip of her tongue slipping out to wet her lips. Oh, but that’s later; they’ll deny this, first. It’s just better for business.
What, Yang says, do I look like I'm made of money?
Yes, Blake thinks of saying. Yes, you kind of do. Like the world owes you just for living.

Summary
Blake looks at her and swears she can see the particles of the universe settling, can see them laid out and miraculous like a map of fates for gods, can see the stars all spinning at her from underneath a sky that could very well be a dark, murky ocean. The truth is that it's been six years of too much fear and not enough skin. This is the anatomy of breaking down.
Date me, Yang says, which seems like a great idea at the time.

Summary
It starts at a party on a Friday night, as things in college ordinarily do. She's drunk with a loose grip around a series of bad habits. One of them takes her to bed, and then does it again, and again, and again. They've all seen the movies. Yang should've interpreted them as warning signs.
I don't want to talk about love, Blake says.
Well, Yang answers, I don't want to feel it.

Summary
It’s been a year but Yang knows her, knows what her body means in the way it moves, knows every tilt of her mouth, every blink, every beat of her heart, every chamber of it, the way it bruises and bleeds and bumps against her chest. I’ve lived there, Yang thinks of telling her, please let me leave. But Blake is silent and doesn’t move.
The truth is easy for Yang to see until it isn't. I love you, Blake says. It's the only reason I've ever done anything.
There you go, Yang says, lying again.

Summary
In another life, Beacon never falls and Blake is a little less haunted.
She doesn't even know when it starts, to be honest; the attraction seems to always just be there, like a possession she's owned forever with a long-faded label, the maker's mark now washed out and forgotten. Let me take you out, Yang says with a smile. Another day and it's Blake, fingers knotted in Yang's hair, sighing against her mouth.
Sun never stood a chance, and the thought doesn't bother him at all.
