true love's kiss, or something equally nauseating

by corpsesoldier

She was where she needed to be. She was going to pull her necro out of this godforsaken tomb, end the game of musical bodies they were playing, and then everything would be all right. Harrow would be alive. And Gideon was going to give her shit for approximately the next myriad for not just taking w

Sleepless

by pugoata

Harrow couldn’t have been sleeping, which left Gideon with two options: she could leave Harrow to her tossing and turning, giving Gideon more time to introspect on the way she breathed. Or, she could be direct and call her out on it.Well, Gideon was never very good at introspection.

Russet Red

by SweetScentences

Gideon’s hood was down, her hair brushing Harrowhark’s cheek in an entirely offensive way as Harrow dragged them both down the hall to their quarters. Damn Gideon Nav for being so tall. Damn Gideon Nav for being built like a fucking brick.  Damn Gideon Nav for putting her life in Harrowhark’s hands

Shore Leave

by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill)

This is definitely something they can’t have on the front. Suddenly, Gideon is very happy they’re on this shitty space station, alone, in the anesthetized quiet, getting it on.

A Weary, Troubled Smile

by jpnadia

“My parents are-- indisposed.” The child hardly faltered, though she barely made a speck of black cloak against the decrepit armored bulk of her retainer. “I act in their stead.”   Abigail drew a deep breath. Dead, then. She was sure of it, but she would gain nothing by forcing the child to admit it

i don't know if i could ever go without

by liveonthesun

Harrow took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said quietly, almost as if she was afraid of the words leaving her mouth, "Will you kiss me again?"Gideon blinked. She must have hallucinated, or maybe she actually had fallen asleep already and was now dreaming. But Harrow didn't open her eyes, and lo

take it, break it

by forjodssake

Hect’s first kisses are efficient, and orderly, and to the point: a means to an end rather than a seduction, a way of keeping her desire behind several layers of chain link fence. Pyrrha immediately sees how difficult it may be to get her to unwind for this. Pyrrha fucking loves a challenge, especia

Camilla had offered only once, years ago. When it had been just the three of them and a handful of part time employees trying to make ends meet, back before someone had the bright idea to expand the studio and rope in a piercer who would change their dynamic forever. Palamedes was the only one who w

Pyrrha folds her arms. “You don’t like it,” she says. “People thinking you’re a working girl.”“Never said that,” Camilla says.“It’s just a job, you know,” Pyrrha says. “Lots of bad jobs out there. Lots of good ones, too.” She laughs, a dark sound. “It’s not that different from being a cav, at the en

by forjodssake

Palamedes thinks, as he breathes in the familiar scent of Camilla’s shampoo in front of him and feels Pyrrha’s firm chest at his back, that he probably should have begun crafting his obituary before this evening. Here lies P. Sextus, MD, (almost) PhD, who quietly exploded from arousal whilst sandwic

Donation

by Nary

Evidently someone in Genomics had realized at the last minute that the Warden's imminent departure might mean permanently losing access to some high-quality necro spunk, and put in a request for a donation. "Did they give you the magazines too, or were those your own idea?""Theirs," Pal said. He s
