    Summary

    Melinoe helps to relieve some of Nemesis's... distraction, but she's too in her head for Nemesis to easily return the favor. That won't stop Nemesis from trying. Fair's only fair.

    Summary

    Melinoë began to walk across the room. “I’ve developed a sort of hypothesis, you see.” She let her fingertips trail lightly along one of the desks.

    Nemesis tracked the movement. “Have you.”

    “I have.” Melinoë had reached her. Before she could lose her nerve, she put a hand on the desk behind Nemesis and leaned down towards her. The air between them was hot and thick; only inches separated their faces. “I think we can be of use to each other.”

    There it was again—Nem’s eyes dropped down to her lips. She leaned a fraction closer. “Use,” she repeated. “What kind of use?”

    OR: Melinoe is a graduate student getting ready to defend her PhD. Nemesis is a postdoctoral student in the lab. Tensions build, and Melinoë decides it might be time to seek out some stress relief.

    Summary

    She can almost picture her — Melinoë standing there, forgotten and ignored, alone against the darkness of Erebus with a flaming heart and the softest of eyes.

    Nemesis wonders when her fantasy started getting mixed up with reality. She wonders when she started noticing the princess' solitude, or when it started stinging. She wonders when Melinoë's eyes started shining so brightly under the light of the Moon, or when she started looking at her with that softness in her gaze.

    On Melinoë, Nemesis and their fated tomorrow.
