Summary
Deep in the wooded hills of Appalachia is magic as old as the mountains themselves. It’s the moment an eight-point buck crosses your dogged path home, empty handed again, from the last hunting trip ‘fore a hard freeze.
It’s the hairs raisin’ on the back of your neck when your lover calls from across the garden and when you stand, you’re alone in the sunlight.
The magic is Appalachia. Without the granny and pawpaw witches and the aunties doing their work between man and her mountains, the mountains would have long since reclaimed the coal towns and holler communities that now dot the map.Ava Silva has been wanderin’ where she pleases for a while now. She’s headed east, to the big city in New York, but she’s not in a hurry. When she finds herself and her new beau JC at the wrong end of a knife one night after a bar shift in Areala’s Gap, a woman named Beatrice introduces her to the curious Organization of Christian Sisters.

Summary
“Wait. You don’t – what do you mean, you don’t ‘get there’?”
“You know,” Lena blushes, stirring her cappuccino awkwardly with her pinkie. “Orgasm. I just don’t…do that.”
“You don’t orgasm,” Sam says flatly, looking increasingly horrified. Lena starts to feel more and more self-conscious about her admission, shifting in her chair with badly-concealed discomfort.
“No.”
“EVER?!”
OR
Lena has never had an orgasm, so Sam asks her girlfriend's little sister to give her a night to remember. The problem is, Lena isn’t gay. Right?
Cue lots of sex, a few feelings, and a dash of panic.

Summary
"No matter how desperate I get," Shadowheart says through gritted teeth, "I'm not that desperate."
But her body is betraying her. It's responding to Lae'zel's suggestion, rising like a well-stoked fire, and Lae'zel lowers herself to the ground near Shadowheart's feet. Shadowheart's legs shift to accommodate her in an instinct so bone-deep that she can't stop it before Lae'zel is filling the space.
"Give in to your desires, istik. Submit to me. In my experience," Lae'zel says, crawling slowly up Shadowheart's willing body, "the hatred will only make it sweeter."
And then Shadowheart is being kissed so thoroughly that she forgets her own name.
OR
Shadowheart doesn't know much about her past, or her future, or even who she is beyond what Shar asks of her. But she knows one thing. She hates Lae'zel. She hates her so much that the gith hardly leaves her mind, and there's nothing that could possibly change that.
A tale of misplaced hatred, building trust, and finding new purpose.

Give It Up For DJ Shadowheart! by capriclonus for allthatmay
Fandoms: Baldur's Gate (Video Games)

Summary
Lae'zel had nothing left.
She'd lost her girlfriend, her job, and her will to keep going all in six months. So when Wyll invites her to his club, Hell's Bells, in an attempt to cheer her up, Lae'zel expects nothing from it. She does it largely to indulge him.
It's there she meets Wyll's friend Shadowheart -- a disk jockey who plays at his club. She's rude, she's blunt, she's nihilistic, she's very forward. But most of all, she's infuriatingly beautiful. She is everything Lae'zel didn't know she wanted. She is terrifying.
Lae'zel keeps returning anyway.
Modern AU - Shadowheart is a DJ, Lae'zel is a sad little puppy, and together they bring out the worst in each other. But also the best. And, in the end, the best of them wins. A tale of heartbreak, loss, recovery and, ultimately, connection.
- look, I had to write a DJ fic alright? Shadowheart's nickname is literally DJ Shart for God's sake.
