Summary
There's a formula to the high school love story: the down on his luck, underdog football player flirts with the cheerleader and finally earns her affections after winning the big game. So what happens when the cheerleader doesn't want to be there and the new quarterback is a tiny nerd who barely reaches her linebacker's shoulder?
When Laura Hollis steps away from her books to join the football team, Carmilla's forced time as a cheerleader gets a little more interesting. It's hard not to fall for the quarterback when they're an adorable nerd doing touchdown dances and hiding in the library from adoring fans.

Summary
'“I am a monster, you know,” you say.
She doesn’t argue, which makes you raise an eyebrow and turn toward her.
“I—I’ve been reading about monsters,” she says. “They were—Carmilla—” her voice is urgent and she steps toward you—“they were like angels.” She makes air quotes and then says, slightly unsteady, staring up at the stars like she’s struggling to remember: “‘They functioned as messengers and heralds of the extraordinary, saying, in effect, “Pay attention; something of profound importance is going to happen.”’”'
first of all: trashbaby carmilla. second of all: involves christmas special headcanon. third of all (& most importantly): carmilla is a monster, & that's wonderful. hollstein angst but so much fluff.

Summary
"But you know: she isn’t to be fixed, and no amount of your care can take away three hundred and some-odd years of trauma. But you’re going to try your hardest to make sure tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, are softer than those before."
based off of this little headcanon from my tumblr: fierce bby feminist laura hollis stepping up big-time to address, & help carmilla address, ptsd. bc it's a big thing. hollstein angst & definitely so much fluff too. trigger warnings for ptsd-related stuff.

Summary
five times carmilla makes laura beg.
'You debate waking Carmilla up and tugging her to your bed, but instead you just grab your yellow pillow and your quilt and bring them back downstairs, turn down the fire a little bit, and snuggle up next to her. Her eyelashes are long and you brush aside her bangs and marvel at the fact that she’s here, that she loves you, that she’s survived wars and coffins, that she remembered snow. Her skin dances golden and shadowed and bright in the flames.'

Summary
'You think she would’ve been suited for an ancient funeral pyre, white stephanotis woven in her dark hair. You’d have tried to memorize her pretty face for long enough to not forget; you’d have kissed her and wished elegies and whispered Rumi and watched the flames and the water and were you always a child of the light and why didn’t you say so and why did you have to die for love—
Sweetheart, she’d have sung in the flames, like this, like this.'
hollstein post-35. grief & healing. sometimes things aren't as bad as they seem. (i promise)
