Drive by katleept
X-Men | Mystique/Destiny | Teen | 1,353
You're driving when the news interrupts one of our favorite songs. I can feel you looking at me in surprise, but I let it slide. You don't ask, and for that, I'm thankful. I know you don't like long debates about our feelings, but I am so weary of the world painting you as a villain. You'd be the first to say you are, but you're all wrong.

Tell Me by Val_Creative
Merlin | Ygraine de Bois/Nimueh | Teen | 2,138

Somnambulation
Wicked - Gregory Maguire | Elphaba Thropp/Galinda Upland | General | 1,145
“Lady Glinda had a bad night, a night of shakes and regret and pain; she guessed it was the early signs of gout from her rich diet. But she sat up half the night and lit a candle in a window, for reasons she couldn't articulate. The moon passed overhead in its path from the Vinkus, and she felt its accusatory spotlight, and moved back from the tall windows” (Wicked 404).

Looking Backwards
Dragon Age | Isabela/Merrill | Teen | 2,738 wip
It could have been the perfect romance--girl meets girl, girl flirts with girl, girl and girl bond over violence--but for Merrill and Isabela, this is not that story. Instead, they have to live their lives and decide who they are inside the shadow of a Hawke who has no one's best interests at heart but her own.

masturbate with dynamite
Free! | Matsuoka Rin/Nanase Haruka | Explicit | 2,667
Wherein Rin writes a check her ass can't cash. A little "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED" gone awry.
