    Summary

    Five years after losing her wife, Carol Sturka has built a quiet life by the coast: hands busy, heart carefully guarded, love poured into animals and things she can fix.
    Zosia Kosłowska arrives in town running from expectations, from a future already decided for her, and from a desire she has never allowed herself to name.

    This is a slow story about grief, restraint, late blooming, and the kind of wanting that learns to speak through hands, silence, and time.

    Summary

    Agatha Harkness is back in Westview. Newly divorced. Working nights. She didn’t expect to see Rio Vidal again. Then again, she never really knew what to do with her in the first place.

    -

    There’s no rule against running into someone you haven’t spoken to in ten years and realizing nothing about them has changed except their hair and the exact angle of the knife they twist in your gut.

    Agatha’s fine.

    Agatha’s not mad.

    She just wants to know who the fuck decided to keep that particular bit of very fucking important information classified.

    Summary

    Agatha whipped her head and body towards the student. “What the fuck is your problem?”

    “No problem,” She shook her head, smirking. “I like talking to you.”

    “You like pissing me off.” Agatha sniped, plucking her glass off the bar when it arrived.

    “Those two seem to be one in the same.”

    “Just tell me something.” She said after letting a sip burn down her throat. “Where do you get off speaking to a respected professor like that?”

    “Like what?”

    “You were argumentative, disrespectful, dismissive–”

    “No, Agatha, that was you.”

    “Dr. Harkness.” Agatha corrected. “Only people I like can call me Agatha and I don’t like you.”

    “Now, that’s not true.” Rio tilted her head. “You’re talking to me, aren’t you?”

    OR

    Newly tenured professor, Dr. Agatha Harkness, has nothing to prove. That is until she meets a smug, twenty-three year old PhD student in Copenhagen after her first keynote speech. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Agatha seeks to put Rio in her place by any means necessary. No matter what the consequences…

    Summary

    “So, if I’m such a lost cause, why the hell are you here?”

    “Because I’m good at my job and I love a challenge.”

    “A congressional race is not the same as a presidential.”

    “I’ve managed races for congressmen, senators, governors.” She listed off breezily. “I’m interested in the big score.”

    “You wanna swing your dick around and show off?” Agatha scoffed.

    “Like you don’t.”

    Agatha leaned in now too, challenging her. “The difference is, I don’t need to wave mine around for everybody to know how big it is.”

    “Agatha,” She said, which was disrespectful given they’d only just met. “Let me run this campaign. I can make you someone America will want to vote for.”

    She finally pulled away, chuckling and sitting back down. “I don’t need you for that.”

    VP Agatha has three months to run for president and begrudgingly makes Rio her campaign manager.

    Summary

    “Oh, you’ll have to tie me down if you want me to submit to you,” Agatha explains casually.

    Rio stares, trying to process that. “I need to tie you down?” she says, bewildered. “For you to… get into the correct headspace?”

    “No, I will literally fight you if you don’t tie me up. And I mean entirely immobilized. I’ll claw your eyes out or try and bite you otherwise.”

    Agatha Harkness has been accused of being a bad sub. She categorically denies it, and hires a dominatrix to prove it. She is by far the most interesting and challenging client Rio Vidal has ever faced.

    Summary

    Rio had no plans to make peeping at her naked neighbor a Thing™️.  She’s not a fucking pervert. But how is she supposed to not look when the woman in question saunters out on her back deck butt ass naked at seven in the morning while Rio’s out on her back deck having her morning tea? And okay, maybe Rio had noticed her topless deck shenanigans from her upstairs studio window and moved her own morning routine to outside. But she hadn’t anticipated an escalation to full nudity. 

    Or the naked neighbor AU.

    Summary

    Rio stared at her quietly, slowly tapping her foot against the tiled floor. A wrinkle formed between her eyebrows from thinking about Agatha's predicament, and the lawyer sighed, waving her hand dismissively.
    "Stop trying to find a solution to this. It will give you a stroke."
    "Marry me," Agatha was glad she had finished her drink because she would spill it all over the bar at the words. She blinked to regain her composure, her mind scrambling for a teasing remark to fire back at Rio, but her tongue could only form one word.
    "What?"
    "I'm not a stranger from Craigslist, and I know probably most psychopaths would say that, but I'm not a psychopath. So, marry me."
    ---
    Agatha learns about a clause in her mother's will that makes her unable to inherit Evanora's fortune unless she gets married by forty. While drowning her sorrows at a bar, she meets Rio, a PhD student working behind the bar to make ends meet, who proposes an insane solution to her problem. Or rather, proposes to Agatha.
    Everything spirals out of control after that.

    Summary

    Agatha’s just trying to get a clean shot of her pastries, ignore the flour in her hair, and not flirt with the woman who thinks her phone smells like butter.

    Rio makes great coffee. Gives great quiet. Terrible for emotional boundaries.

    It was supposed to be casual. Then it got warm. And stayed that way.

    A modern AU Agathario, soft-baked and a little sticky.

    Summary

    Agatha Harkness isn’t having sex.

    Which is quite ironic for a sex therapist.

    But it’s the reminder she gets as she places the freshly printed divorce papers in front of her, Wanda’s signature already perfectly scratched into the page.

    With a satisfying flick of her wrist Agatha signs the line that will set her free from her long dead marriage. She expects to feel a weight lift off her shoulders, but instead she feels nothing. Nothing is changing apart from the fact Wanda is no longer her wife on paper.

    Summary

    “Cars don’t crash through fences for free,” Rio replied smoothly, shrugging. “But,” she continued, eyes glinting, “I’ll make you an offer. You cover just the cost of parts—let’s call it a grand—and I’ll throw in the labor for free.”
    Agatha frowned, knowing there had to be a catch. “And what exactly do you want in return?”
    Rio leaned back against the workbench, arms folded and expression deceptively casual. “Dinner with me.”

     

    OR: Agatha is making her way cross country when she wrecks her car. There's only one shop in town ran by a deeply irritating and magnetic mechanic. She offers a discount on the work in exchange for dinner. Then she really puts in the body work (heyo).

    Summary

    “Friends do not do what you and Rio did. And you and I certainly never have.”

    “Me and Rio had—” Agatha pauses, her eyes sliding over to Teen, who has stolen one of her gelt and is nibbling on it, “—s-e-x one time. And then decided to be friends. Just friends. And have been friends ever since.”

    "I’m seventeen,” Says Teen tiredly, “I know how to spell sex."

    *

    Or, after having sex once (or like three times, but who's counting, definitely not Agatha) Agatha and Rio decide to be friends. Just friends. They are amazing at it, obviously.

    Summary

    Agatha has been stuck in the quiet town of Westview, Oregon for pretty much her entire life. Nothing much exciting ever happens there, until Rio shows up. As an avid believer in all things cryptid, even hosting her own radio show on the topic, Rio is there for one simple reason: to find proof of the creature that’s been lurking in the Westview woods, according to her very trustworthy sources.

    Agatha doesn’t believe in any of it, but she believes in Rio.

    Summary

    Trauma and mental illness have left Rio Vidal isolated from much of the world, hardly able to bring herself to leave her home even to spend time with her small friend circle.

    A suggestion from her therapist leads her to explore an online world of isolated and touch-starved people looking for others to spend time with. This, in turn, leads her to Agatha Harkness, a fellow sufferer of severe social isolation with a history of trauma.

    Rio and Agatha connect almost instantly, but what begins as a way for both of them to simply feel less alone slowly blossoms into something more.
