Summary
"We'll talk to him," Eleven nuzzled the crook of his neck, having to tilt up against her toes for better reach. He was warm and everything familiar. "We'll figure it out."
It was what they did. Back then it was always the simple things; the dancing, everything that occurred beyond the realm of just kissing, the dating, jealousies and insecurities and all the emotional baggage. A lot of firsts had been shared between them, and it didn't matter if they were easy, or awkward, or hard. They always figured it out. Together.

Old ghosts come back knocking, and growing up was never meant to be easy.

Summary
“Do you usually like putting your customers in awkward spots or am I just lucky?”
This Eleven smiled, almost like she knew a secret he didn’t. “Mmhm, don’t know about lucky. You’re definitely easy, though.”

"You can still come with me, you know. It's not too-"
"You know I can't," he interjected. His tone insinuated it wasn't up for discussion but he also knew how incredibly stubborn she was, so he continued. "It's a family business, Inverse. My loyalties are with them."

Summary
Gideon doesn't strictly mean to speak out loud when she hears herself say, “you look good.”
Harrow freezes, mid-drink and a pink flush spreads over her cheeks. She blinks a few times then bites on her lip.
Gideon regrets it so quickly adds, “y’know, for the devil incarnate,” sticking to the approved script.
Harrow takes another drink, pretending to be indifferent to this. “Is that your attempt at flirting?”
/ Or - two bitter exes, a set of twins, a scientist and a skeptic walk into a bar...

Summary
Harrowhark knew damn well that her medications were life-saving. Except a new dose hits her right in the libido.
Gideon isn't concerned.
(Set in the same universe as "A rush of blood is not enough", but it can be read as a standalone.)

Sexual Awakening by jarofbeees

Summary
It's the time of year for Coronabeth's annual Halloween party. With a theme as interesting as "dress as your sexual awakening", Gideon cannot resist the chance to be a fucking problem.
Set loosely in the same universe as my fic "A rush of blood is not enough," but it can be read as a standalone modern AU. I quarantined the smut to chapter 2.
