    Summary

    "I have a secret.
    It’s the sort of secret that could destroy me... one that even I hate myself for."
    - Judy Álvarez

    Judy Álvarez is a lonely woman with a troubled past. When she takes on a teenager whose past is even darker than her own, she doesn’t know if they’ll be able to help each other heal, or drag each other into madness.

    V doesn't even know her own name. She’s a girl without a past, trying to build a future she can barely imagine. But she won’t be doing it alone.

    Meredith Stout has done some terrible things, but she's tried to make up for them. The person she hurt the most has forgiven her; Meredith isn’t sure she can ever punish herself enough to deserve that forgiveness.

    A character study in romantic obsession, the intersections between love and substance abuse, and the way lingering trauma can impact a person's ability to form attachments later in life. Sexuality is a part of our core identity, and we are never more naked - than when we're naked. (Disclaimer: they spend a lot of time naked.)

    Alternatively: an excuse for porn (and fluff (and angst))

    Summary

    At Final Scribe Tattoo, an eccentric found family of misfits and outcasts offers solace and belonging in a world where magic has dwindled to a flickering ember and corporations hoard the last remnants of power.

    Tattoo artist Lae'zel doesn't do feelings. Piercer Shadowheart doesn't do relationships.

    That's all about to change.

    Summary

    There is nothing inside Shadowheart but an empty, screaming hole, and no amount of sex, drugs, or booze can fill it. So what does it really matter if she sells herself to Mizora in exchange for an ounce of protection and a few creature comforts? It's better than staying in the gutter with the rest of the trash. Isn't it?

    ... Isn't it?

    Summary

    The fruits of a group writing project's labor, loosely set in a modern AU. Shoutout to CellPhish, Larissel, Calorem, FelofHe, ToriWritesStories, Hexpresso, Canthandledecisions, and SheDragonOfTheWest for contributing to this beautiful trainwreck!

    The premise is an 'exquisite corpse' where each contributor only had the very last sentence of the writing to go off of when adding to it, and so many shenanigans and derailings are had. There are dating apps, smut, clowns(?), weird location jumps, entirely too many mentions of eyes, sudden marriage proposals, makeouts turning into sensual fruit eating, and more!

    This was a hilarious endeavor, that was a blast to write and read out to each other! Hope you laugh along with us if you read this tomfoolery.

    Summary

    The almost-antique mech had been one of Maiko’s most thoughtful gifts. Not just a robot that she could tinker with, but one that was patterned after a sea creature? After a fucking jellyfish? Even if it was an Arasaka assassination tool. It was still fucking cool as hell.
    - Chapter 36: Touch

    V is the star of the new braindance show 'Venus' - Network54’s answer to ‘Watson Whore’. When Lizzie's Bar is booked to scroll the latest episode and a key cast member isn't up to their role, Judy finds herself unwillingly thrust into the limelight as V's temporary dance partner. To everyone's surprise - not least V and Judy themselves - they have more than just on-scroll chemistry.

    Judy knows she should stay away from V. Every instinct screams that the woman is trouble. But not only will her heart not let her leave, but she starts to see that everything is not as rosy in V’s life as it would appear. Something very disturbing is going on beneath the surface. Something that doesn’t just involve ‘Venus’, but a secret Militech project.

    Judy finds herself caught up in V's struggle not just to gain independence, but to survive. Two lone women versus Militech - the winner should be obvious.

    Summary

    She's finally getting used to this. Perhaps being a vampire won't be so bad after all, not when it feels so good.

    A sexy, bloody romp in the style of my favorite 80s splatterpunk vampire/horror fiction. No brooding or sparkling here. I hope you hate it.

    Summary

    The main flaw she could see in V’s plan was that it would be big, messy, and about as subtle as a brick to the face.
    Hey Jude, Chapter 12

     

    Set after the 'Temperance' ending. Judy is lost and confused when V disappears. In their last conversation, V said she thought she might have a way to solve the problem of the chip in her head - and then nothing. Judy is desperate to know whether V has ghosted her, is in trouble, or worse. What she doesn't understand at first is that the answer has been in front of her all along. Unfortunately, when she finally realises, it only raises yet more questions.

    Summary

    V likes the idea of BDSM, but didn't enjoy it when Meredith had her at her mercy. She thinks that perhaps it was because she was on the wrong end of the whip. Judy shows her just how wrong she was. Yes, more smut, I'm afraid. Did you expect anything else?

    Summary

    V is a rising braindance actor, star of the new show 'Venus' - a competitor to Watson Whore. When Lizzie's Bar is booked to scroll the latest episode and a key cast member is not up to their role, Judy finds herself unwillingly thrust into the limelight as V's temporary partner. To everyone's surprise, it turns out that they have chemistry both in and out of the braindance. But is there more to V than meets the eye? What's with those memory lapses she won't acknowledge, the headaches she tries to hide, and the mysterious chips delivered by armed courier that no-one is allowed to talk about?

    And why, when V is such a bitch, does Judy even care?
