    Summary

    Set three years after the reversal of the Sudden Oblivion (what they called the year humanity ceased to exist), Carol Sturka had finished the Wycaro series and released her new book, Starfall, a fictional story about a hive mind taking over an entire space colony. Carol's still getting used to her astounding success when she comes back into her life.

    Zosia stood near the corner of the street, Starfall in hand, wearing a soft, pale yellow shirt and jeans—more casual than Carol ever remembered seeing her. Her dark hair fell just above her shoulders, slightly shorter than before, and her brown eyes seemed to light up as Carol met her gaze. She appeared to be trying, and failing, to contain her smile. It grew as Carol walked toward her, which she didn’t realize she was doing until she was so close it was unbearable. There was nothing to do but embrace her, which Carol did without thinking, the reality of it sinking in only when Zosia’s voice—soft, unmistakable—reached her.

    “Hi, Carol.”

    She remembered.
    She was here.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?”

    “I should ask that of you. Seriously, Elphie, a religious convent? Who have you become?”

    “A ghost,” said Elphaba. “If I'm anything at all.”

    “You were always a ghost. Even back at Shiz, you were.”


    Or, Glinda visits the cloister of her namesake. Things spiral from there.

    Turn me back. Please, please, Carol. Please, I want to go back!

    Carol reaches for Zosia, then doesn’t.

    “I don’t think that’s possible,” she says.

    A week after Zosia’s heart attack, she returned to Carol. Like she was a dog Carol had left in the middle of the woods because she hadn’t the heart to shoot it.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra breathes hard at the proximity. Steps even closer. She does not know why, but she wants to. Craves it. Her usual stony restraint and goading spitefulness when dealing with a furious, self-righteous Queen Alicent having slipped away, leaving only the gnawing want underneath. A feeling that she has rarely acknowledged over these last years though it has been there all along. She feels its force course through her fiercely, unchallenged for the first time in a long time.

    “You still wish to reconcile with me?” Rhaenyra whispers in astonishment.

    Alicent squeezes her eyes shut, exhales shakily, but she does not move away.

    “That is not- do you not see- Oh, Seven Hells.” Alicent lets out a groan of vexation and then lurches forward capturing Rhaenyra’s lips in a bruising kiss.

    (Or the Magic Fertility Ritual AU where Alicent and Rhaenyra get each other pregnant and fight each other until they decide to fight for their family)
