    Summary

    There was no one flesh for Coronabeth. No one end. Instead she was a warden, a bodyguard, a jailer. In the afternoon she walked one half step behind Judith and at night she slept with her back pressed tight to Judith’s, or with her arm slung over Judith’s waist, her nose nestled into Judith’s braids.

    It was the longest they’d ever spent in one another’s presence. It was the closest they’d ever been.

    And nothing ever changed.

    Summary

    Mizu was hired. At first Akemi’s fury was incandescent. This was not the desired outcome. She tried her father again, and her father said, “Isn’t this what you wanted?”, and she fumed, teeth clenched, face hot. She tried to sneak out and Mizu caught her, grabbed her by the back of the neck—literally, the back of her neck, squeezed until it hurt. Pushed her back toward the house. Akemi screamed, “You can’t treat me like that!”, and Mizu, cold and soulless, said, “Like what?”, and Akemi said, “Like I’m a dog!” And Mizu said: “Can’t I?”

    *

    Mizu is hired as Akemi's bodyguard. Akemi takes offense.

    Summary

    "Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. If all you’d wanted was a fuck buddy, Caitlyn, I wish you'd have left me alone."

    What?

    "And I get it, I do! You're not the first, you won't be the last! I know what women think when they look at me, I know what they really want or expect of me. You were different, though. You took your time, you made me care about you, about being with you. You made me think it actually meant something."

    Vi suddenly holds her breath, her eyes wide and terrified. Caitlyn's own frown has vanished just as swiftly, her confusion turning into cautious wonder. Time stops, the room fills with sounds of heavy breathing, hearts wildly beating, and quiet realisation. Vi hadn't meant to give so much away.

    ––

    Or : After a serious injury that abruptly marks the end of her biathlete career, Caitlyn crosses the Atlantic to become a PE teacher in the school where her childhood best friend Jayce teaches. There she meets Vi, a charming but lonely English teacher who has yet to figure out how to let anyone in.

    Inspired by the track "Hey Stephen" by Taylor Swift.
