    Summary

    When Caitlyn left England and everything she knew behind to pursue her dream of becoming an artist in America, she never expected it to be quite so lonely.

    Canvases, sketchbooks, and art classes fill her days, but never the emptiness.

    After a chance encounter with Vi and a complete lapse in professional judgement, Caitlyn finds herself offering Vi an arrangement: art lessons in exchange for Vi modelling for her.

    Vi, of course, agrees.

    OR

    Caitlyn loses all sense the moment she meets Vi, resulting in her volunteering as a nude model for her own art class. Vi ends up coming. So does Caitlyn.

    Summary

    "Hi, I'm Zoey! It's so good to meet you!"

    "Mira. Same."

    This was typically the part where Rumi would be expected to introduce herself, but she didn't seem to give a flying fuck about what was expected of her if the way she still just stared even as Celine cleared her throat pointedly said anything.

    -

    "Hey, we got you something from the store last night."

    Rumi squinted between them and the bag. "Why."

    "Because as much as you don't seem to like us, we like you just fine."

    -

    "Well, come on. Aren't you going to bite somebody with those big sharp teeth of yours?" Mira prompted again with a raised brow, shaking Zoey's arm slightly, as if genuinely trying to entice Rumi to take a bite.

    Instead of taking the proffered bait, Rumi turned her head away with a strong air of ‘well now I don't want to.'

    "Thought so." Mira drawled, unimpressed. "Now how about you let us help you inside?"

    -

    Alt take: Repression didn't work baybeee, now it's everyone's problem!

    Summary

    Korra is a young, aspiring actress in LA. She's struggling to find opportunities, and her abrasive attitude isn't helping. She gets an opportunity to work with A-lister, Kuvira Beifong, and it takes an odd turn.
    ______

    Kuvira hasn’t noticed her, so Korra let her curiosity take hold. She watches as a makeup artist dashes around Kuvira, making touch-ups here and there to the actress’s face. Korra studies Kuvira's expression, it is hard and fixed, completely unmoving or changing. Her emerald eyes are just gazing at herself. Her silky, black hair is tied back into a perfectly messy bun, strands of it catching the mirror’s light. Her complexion had a golden tone to it. This could have been due to the makeup, but somehow, Korra doubted it. Kuvira's lips were just the perfect size to fit her face, and the beauty mark under her left eye seemed to bring everything together.

    Suddenly, Kuvira’s deep, emerald eyes shift in the mirror and stare directly into Korra’s.

    Korra panics and holds her breath – not moving an inch. If she had her wits about her, she would have moved from the door, but she wasn’t thinking straight.

    “Close the door.”

    Summary

    Mira lifted her gaze, a slow smile curving her mouth. “We still have more to offer,” she said. “You wouldn’t want to miss the best part, would you?”

    Zoey blinked, her pulse quickening. “What part?” She asked, the question trembling in the air.

    Mira didn’t answer, not with words. Her hand drifted toward Rumi, fingertips brushing over the singer’s arm, her collarbone, tracing lazy lines that made Rumi’s breath hitch.

    Zoey’s mouth went dry. The room felt warmer now, the air too thick to breathe.

    Rumi closed her eyes, a playful smile ghosting across her lips. There was something in the way she leaned back, trusting, expectant, that made Zoey’s chest tighten. She wasn’t sure she could leave if they kept going.

    “You were so good in the crowd,” Mira murmured, her eyes finding Zoey’s, holding them. “You gave us so much energy.” Her hand kept moving, deliberate. “Would you like to watch another performance?”

     

    or: after being dragged to a concert for a band she’s never heard of, Zoey ends up alone when her friend bails and stumbles into the most life-changing night of her life.

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.
