    Summary

    Mothers protected their children. Their children in turn trusted them.

    Melina had failed them. She had failed at being their mother. She had read all the books and sunk into the role but in the end, it wasn’t enough.

    //

    Melina loved, lost, and loved again.

    Summary

    Of all the places Yelena imagined finding a girlfriend, the dumpsters behind her building were, for some reason, the last place she’d ever think to look. But hey, at least now she can finally get her mother to stop asking why she's still single.

    or

    Kate is a vigilante with too many injuries to count. Yelena is a former assassin with some questionable first aid skills—that’s almost the same as a doctor, right?

    /
    Yelena never becomes a contract killer. Kate never puts on the Ronin suit. Years later, their paths cross anyway.

    Summary

    It’s a stormy day in London. Alicent likes when it’s overcast—it makes going outside during the day a little bit easier. In her age, the sun had grown less harsh, but it is not entirely without its bite. She stands now in the pouring rain of the early dusk of winter, a black umbrella shielding her from the water as she stands outside of the church gates. She used to avoid this place. It reminded her too much of being human. The thought of being human used to hurt more. Now, it feels more like… yearning.

    Alicent has been a vampire for over two-hundred years. Thirty years prior to now, she swore she would never taste another drop of human blood. Her oath had never been tempted, never come close to breaking. Until she meets Rhaenyra Targaryen in an empty church after dark.

    Summary

    The rooftop — her safe haven, her main character monologue setting — a liminal space, a personal stage; for her to ruminate, to be dramatic, to wait… and pretend she’s in a dramatic indie film where someone (Yelena) is in love with her and it’s all very inconvenient and angsty and beautiful.

     

    (TL;DR Kate is very very gay (as she mentions multiple times throughout this fic) for Yelena, so gay ensues, softly and romantically.)
