Summary
The control Rangi tried to hold herself with had finally stretched thin. Maybe it was just having to sit around so much helplessly. Maybe it was the audacity of this girl to show up out of nowhere and confuse everything. But she had enough. “This is beyond your pride,” she hissed, her arm moving in a blur of a familiar motion. The cold, blue steel of her revolver was pinned against Kyoshi’s chest now.
Whereas any normal person would have jolted or flinched, she stayed eerily still. Unnerving. Is she an idiot? The metallic click of the hammer being drawn back was obscenely loud in the quiet. “You’re a variable I can not control. A mere distraction.”
The accusation hung heavy between them, but fear was the last thing in Kyoshi’s eyes. Fiercely, – stupidly – determined, she was.
“Am I?” she whispered, her own hand rising not to bat the weapon away, but to clasp it, her fingers wrapping around the barrel, holding it fast against her ribcage. “Or are you afraid, Deputy, of having a witness to whatever you become out there?”

Summary
As the comb slowed down, Rangi did too. “But you’re not the only one she takes after,” she whispered, “You’ll see it for yourself soon enough, but she’s been strutting around like she was born into the Fire Nation military. Hands behind her back, chin high, questioning every poor servant who happens to pass by the yard about snacks and interrupting every station guard to comment on their posture. The other day,” she paused for a long moment, “I called her ‘Lieutenant’, just to tease her. She liked it enough to make it her official title.”
Kyoshi’s brows rose slightly, though she kept her eyes on Koko’s sleeping face. In her rest, she stirred slightly, her mouth curling at a dream, fingers clenched. There was a wet spot on Kyoshi’s robe right where she was sleeping. “Lieutenant, is it?” she whispered, brushing some hair out of her face, her thumb faintly tracing the line of her eyebrows.

“I’d like to see your home,” Kyoshi said. “Your own little island. It sounds lovely.”
Rangi smiled sadly. “I was going to take you there during the festival, but then this happened.”
Kyoshi brushed the backs of their hands together. “Someday,” she said.

Summary
Kyoshi exhales, quiet and unsure, a sound so weak that almost makes Rangi jump on her feet and flee as fast as she can: she doesn't; if anything, she maintains her stance and waits, for Rangi has always been a soldier first and foremost.
(She would never, never flee from where she's expected to be — it's always at Kyoshi's side, in every possible reality our logic allows to ponder. She's a soldier in the strictest sense of the term, because she has always had something to fight for and to protect with her own life.)
On Rangi, Kyoshi and their polar star.

Summary
After twenty three years of deliberately avoiding her own interests in an attempt to maintain her parents' respect and uphold the Proudmoore reputation, Jaina eventually snaps under the pressure and decides to indulge in one night away from the strict expectations weighing her down. She didn't, however, plan to become so, utterly captivated by a particularly charming barmaid. A situation that can only lead to a dangerous world of indecision, desire and, naturally, pain.
Or:
Jaina tastes the forbidden fruits of lesbian sex, leading to a friends-with-benefits situationship in which the two girls fall head over heels for each other.
Set in a modern-world AU without magic (standard WoW races still exist) - includes lots of smut with an eventual happy ending. These two are allergic to communication, I apologise in advance.

Got hung up on city pop and then couldn’t get the idea out of my head that Rangi would be a frickin beast on guitar.

Setting the tone-

Summary
Yasu won't ever make a move on Nana, because she's Ren's woman. She's been Ren's woman for so long but starts to feel like maybe she doesn't have to be. Maybe she shouldn't have to be when neither of them are making an effort to keep that relationship alive.
Maybe she doesn't have to be Ren's woman. Maybe Yasu doesn't have to hold back.

Summary
When youth and beauty fade, can love live on?
Hange and Levi have survived the impossible: the Rumbling and all that it caused. But can their relationship win out against the unrelenting passage of time?
All bets are against it.
"Hange always thought, perhaps naively, that as time with impassive viciousness faded her beauty, their love would transcend. It hurts to be proven how wrong she’s been, how foolish she’s been to look around her and believe they were different. To find that they aren’t so special as to be the exception to the natural cycle of the universe.
Because, eventually, it all ends."Bookmarked by insomniacscribbles
