    Summary

    "An illicit, tempestuous affair, Senator,” Luthen clarifies with the expression of man who just made the most sensible proposition in the galaxy. "It would give you all the more reason to visit the gallery as regularly and as long as you please. Or even receive visits to the embassy if your schedule doesn’t permit a visit here."

    "What?" Mon hisses, genuinely scandalized. Outrage bubbles up inside her at the very suggestion. Her entire body stiffens and she can’t even fake a courteous smile. "You can't be serious!"

    => Important edit! Chapter II & Chapter V now with fantastic ART! (I'm so blessed and so are you because it's ridiculously beautiful and lets stare at it together. Thank you both so much. This is a dream come true <3)

    Summary

    Their eyes met across the restaurant, and Carol felt like a ship at sea in a maelstrom, that strains and tips and crashes with the waves and calls out, “All is lost!”—until, at the very last moment, the shard of the lighthouse’s lamp breaks through the storm, and offers a way home.

    Summary

    It starts with little things.

    Galinda tells herself it’s nothing. A fleeting fascination, a spark of admiration that will fade with time.

    Summary

    She doesn’t quite know what to do with the way that Alice is looking at her. Like she’s something sacred, something inescapable, one of the old gods that slumber in the centre of the earth—Alice’s eyes are their own kind of hunger, the ache of an empty belly, the dark comfort of dreaming and the soft light of coming awake.

    “Your life is your own, Narcissa,” she says.

    And oh, how badly Narcissa wishes that were true.

    Summary

    “It’s hardly an appropriate matter to discuss,” Serena asserts in hard-edged, bitten-off word shards. In that moment it’s not the voice of a pious freak-wife, June thinks, nor that of a right-wing crackpot, but the voice of a woman with a penchant for not acknowledging the elephant in the room.

    Takes place sometime during, or shortly after 2x05.
