Marta, reluctantly attending with her sister-in-law Begona and friend Luz, is utterly captivated the moment the spotlight hits Fina. The raven-haired singer's blend of fiery spirit and gentle vulnerability instantly draws Marta in. A simple wink, a fleeting glance across the crowded room, sparks an undeniable connection, igniting a "Maybe, Just Maybe" chance at something more between the burgeoning musician and the powerful businesswoman.

Summary
This Christmas vignette was born from a chat with friends. That seed of an idea took root and grew into this quiet, wintry snapshot. A moment of warmth, memory, and love in 1959 Toledo, where Fina walks into a holiday made just for her.
“You said you and your mother would make them when you were little,” Marta said, voice quiet.
“Cut from old newspapers and hung with bits of string dipped in wax.”

Summary
“It’s a lot easier for me to keep my grip on you when I can actually feel your body.”
The phrase feel your body said in Kara’s voice rattles around in Lena’s head like a pinball machine, but she manages to shrug her sweater off and throw it somewhere behind them before she can second-guess herself. Kara is looking comfortable in a loose white t-shirt, and when she takes Lena by the waist and puts Lena’s hand on her shoulder the texture of it is light and soft.
“Let’s start from square one,” Kara says, so kindly that her next words take a few seconds to register in Lena’s brain. She tightens her grip on Lena’s waist, and says with full confidence:
“Dancing is a lot like sex.”
OR
Against her better judgement Lena agrees to compete on Dancing with the Stars for the PR boost. When her chemistry with her partner Kara gets misconstrued by the press, there’s obviously only one solution.
AKA, a Dancing with the Stars/Fake Dating AU.
