thoughts on nobleflower i need to know i have so much in my brain

Oh oh oh! Yes!

Okay so I'm a little sick and my thoughts about anything Narcissa femslash related are usually already all over the place so? Bear with me while I type this on my phone?

First: let me establish the specific setting. Since I tend to mess about with Narcissa's age a little depending on the ship bc the canon Black family tree is a right mess that I've decided I can do whatever I want with. For alicissa tho, I tend to just go with Narcissa being 4/5 years older than the marauders, and Alice being like a year older than Narcissa.

And as for any Narcissa headcanon I have, I'm writing this with the idea of trans!narcissa in mind, though it works very similarly if you imagine her as cis. If you want more context for how I see trans!narcissa in canon compliant settings, I have a 7K meta post here but it's not necessary for this (I just like linking it).

Also we're going with some canon compliancy here. No happy endings today.

So.

Alicissa is one of those ships that, for me, starts out genuinely cute. Like... dorcissa starts out as denial and rivalry, narlily can end cute but starts messy. Alicissa starts sweet. It starts hopeful.

It starts in an icecream shop.

I'd say it starts the summer before Narcissa's 5th year, which is the time I headcanon she comes out as trans and has begun her transition. Which means 1. She is quite terrified of making 'another' mistake to embarrass her family and 2. The scariest moments of her life have just been blasted over Witch Weekly and the Daily Prophet. She is scared, she's being very brave about it, and she gets mean when she's nervous. (Well. Meaner than usual.)

Alice has a type of girl she loves and that type is brave and mean and a little sassy.

So you know, when Narcissa comes into Florean Fortescue's, ignores all the stares she gets, and gets snappy when Alice teases her about mint-chocolate chip being the worst flavour to order.... what choice does she really have except to fall in love right then and there?

And I think on Narcissa's side, developing any crush on a girl will always come with a bit of angst. Because from the moment she transitions, she has a very clear path in mind of what to do and what to be in order to make her family proud of them again. (I could go into more detail, but honestly for that if you're interested see the meta linked above.) And dating girls... not a part of that plan.

But she wants to.

And Alice makes it easier to be brave.

They're prefects in different years and different houses and they're good at keeping secrets and Narcissa can get Kingsley, the head boy, to move the prefect schedule so that she and Alice have rounds together. (She knows that Kingsley's into Rodolphus Lestrange like no other, and like I said. She can be a little mean.)

And I think that for that first year. The first two years, even, when they’re still at school and life hasn't gotten quite so tainted with war yet? They're happy. And they're cute. And it feels good. Like it can last.

It can't. Obviously.

One headcanon is that Narcissa starts struggling in school bc yknow she's going through some shit, and maybe there's a subject or two she's never been a natural at and is now falling behind in, and it just so happens that Alice is really good at that. So they can meet publicly in the library while Alice tutors her and Narcissa struggles to get over her embarrassment for needing a tutor.

Narcissa has only ever missed one quidditch game (she hates the game, but her best friends are the Lestrange brothers (oh yes that gets painful later) and they play on the team, sonshe has to go). That's the game Alice convinces her to come into the Gryffindor common room while everyone is gone and they make out in front of the fireplace.

They almost get caught. Narcissa avoids her for about a week. They never take that risk again.

And then the war. Alice graduates first, and I see her as being quite determined to make a difference in the war and unsure how to do it. Obviously the Order is a very secret organisation, and she doesn't know about it immediately, so she becomes an auror.

That's also where she meets her future husband Frank Longbottom (bless that man).

Meanwhile Narcissa is a seventh year, her best friends are losing their parents and are drowning in it and she is trying to balance NEWTs and helping the Lestrange twins and the ever important thing of Not Disappointing Her Parents (Again).

I think, however unjustly so, she starts blaming it on Alice for leaving. Which is obviously not actually Alice's fault bc that's just how gradustion works, but it's easier to blame a girl with who it never could've worked out (and maybe shouldn't have worked out as long as it did), than it is to realise that this is just a shitty collection of circumstances. Or worse, to blame her family. She can never blame her family. (She feels she owes her family too much to blame them)

So by the time Narcissa graduates, she's planning an engagement with Rabastan Lestrange that will fall through soon enough and she hasn't told Alice about yet. Alice, at that point, is an auror who's working together with Frank and feels so very betrayed when she does find out about Narcissa's engagement.

It's one of those things that has always been inevitable. But that Alice couldn't help but secretly hope wouldn't happen anyway.

And I think that's where it goes wrong.

Because Alice tells her not to marry Rabastan, around the same time that Rabastan is trying very hard to destroy everything good in his life because grief isn't kind, and Narcissa is the best damn thing to have happened to him. Druella Black ("you should do better than a miserable second son"), Alice Fortescue ("just get away from all of it"), and Rabastan Lestrange ("why are we bothering anyway?") himself, all tell her to break off an engagement that brought her SO much joy when it became reality.

And so Narcissa decides to hate all of them for it.

Except she can’t. Obviously. But she decides she does anyway.

Because Druella is still the mother she wants to be proud of her, and Rabastan is still her best friend who she wants to protect, and Alice is still the first person she ever really fell in love with. She can’t hate them. But she wants to.

But I think that strains alicissa's relationship a lot. Because it shows that Narcissa isn't just mean, she can be cruel and delusional. And it makes it clear that it doesn’t really matter how much Narcissa loves Alice (because she does. She really does.) Because as brave as Narcissa can be, she's a scared young woman who seeks to protect herself. And protecting herself in pureblood society means marrying a suitable pureblood wizard. It doesn’t mean running away with a halfblood witch and hoping life turns out alright.

Narcissa has always protected herself by planning ahead and following her plan. Alice doesn’t fit into that. And Alice isn't the type of woman who will wait around to see if Narcissa's plans change.

So when Narcissa gets engaged to Lucius Malfoy, and her happy and perfect smile is all over the Daily Prophet, Alice accepts Frank's invitation for a date.

And for a while that's that.

There's some looks, because Frank is a Longbottom and while he's on his way to become a traitor, his great aunt was a Black and he still gets invited to notable pureblood events. Not for long, but long enough. There are some strained conversations and longing glances and even, once or twice, guilt-ridden hookups when their respective husbands are out.

Alice feels a whole lot more terrible about that than Narcissa does. She loves Frank. I swear she does.

Alice is a renowned auror and joins the Order and is a genuine danger to any death eater who comes her way. Narcissa is terrified every day that her husband might die at her lover's hands — or god forbid the other way around.

Alice grows to hate Narcissa during that war. Because how dare she attend charity galas to safekeep the victims of a war, when she damn well knows it's her friends and family waging that war. The hypocrisy and the cruelty too much.

Alice likes her women brave and a little mean. Not cowardly and cruel.

They become mothers around the same time. Two months apart. When they’re both pregnant, they see each other occasionally in the same maternity shops and healer waiting rooms. There's a kinship there and this very strong desire for a closer bond, that ultimately can't withstand the hatred and the mistrust that the war and Narcissa's choices have brought upon them.

And then the war is over.

Narcissa and Lucius manage to escape any time in azkaban. Alice and Frank can finally settle and mourn their loved ones. All four of them can look at these beautiful young boys in their arms and hope with all their might that their lives will be easier.

(It’s unclear when the attack on the Longbottoms happened. We know it happened after the war, and we know it happened when people had just begun feeling safe again. We know there was enough time for Crouch sr to start greying by the time the Lestranges were put on trial.)

But that wrecks Narcissa.

I wanna say that Alice and Narcissa stopped actively seeing each other when the war ended. Alice doesn't want to have an affair when she is genuinely happily married and she has a son. Maybe she's trying for a second child.

But Narcissa’s best friends in the world. The family I tend to describe as "what the Potters and James were to Sirius, the Lestranges and Rodolphus were to Narcissa". And her sister. Two of whom knew just how fucking important Alice Fortescue was to Narcissa, once upon a time.

I genuinely don't think Narcissa believed it, when the Lestranges were first accused of that crime. I don't think she wanted to believe them capable of it. And when it turned out to be true.... I have so many thoughts about that connection I could fill another and longer post. But it wrecks her.

Narcissa only visits Alice once.

It's under the guise of "seeing what her sister has done, to put it behind her". Augusta Longbottom is there, in absolute pieces because her only son is gone. Neville is there, Draco's age. Alice doesn't recognise her. Narcissa thinks it might be better that way.

Narcissa just really doesn't belong there. And she doesn't belong there because of her own choices, her own mistakes. And I think that realisation breaks her even further.

Only one of them remembere what they used to be, and Narcissa selfishly wishes that it wasn't her.

Okay and this is getting long so. The rest is just little moments of pain. Draco writing home about how stupid this Longbottom kid is? The absolute guilt of knowing her darling boy is bullying the son of the woman Narcissa loved most? Post war, when maybe Neville is old enough to want to know more about Alice and find out that there aren’t many people alive who remember Alice when she was young. But Narcissa does.

And don't even get me started on the Lestranges escaping Azkaban. That's agony right there. I have no time. But also I have SO many thoughts and all of them heard more than the other so one day I'll inflict them on others.

This became so long I'm sorry lmao, but I hope you like the thoughts. This is why happier fix it AUs exists.

Complaining about amount of fanfic the ship you like has: a complicated discussion

Before we start, a little explanation for something that will come up in this post as it's fandom specific: identity v has something called skin ship - ships between characters having different in game skins (if you've played games with this mechanic you were probably aware of it).

Now, onto the actual start of the post:

At one point you've probably searched a ship that, whether on here or on Twitter, and you might have come across a post like this:

"Why isn't there more fanfics of (ship name)? I want more fics of them!"

This is the part where some people roll their eyes and even maybe reply or report the post/tweet saying:

"Write it yourself."

This is a discussion that comes back every month like clockwork. It happened around two weeks ago when the ao3 ship stats got announced, and then a few days later due to someone complaining about the lack of femslash ships in a fandom. We can talk about this all day long, but we're here today for something, while still on this topic, slightly different.

Imagine the scenario:

You are one of the few writers for a ship. the whole ao3 tag is filled with your work. I'm talking 95% of the fics are written by you. You love this ship a lot, like really a lot.

But at one point, you'll hit a wall. You will be burned out, you will want to just sit down and read a fic for that same ship written by someone else.

But you can't. Because you are one of the few people who cares.

It doesn't feel that great, right? Sometimes, you want to just unwind and relax, not have to write something to enjoy it.

So, obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is expressing disappointment.

And let me tell you, I feel this.

I will be using my previous main fandom (bungou stray dogs) and my current one (identity v) to express sympathy for you. My main ship was a rarepair in the bsd fandom. out of all 58 fics in that ship tag, I wrote 40 of them. When you do the math, that's approximately 71% of the tag filled with fics written by me.

My current interest is identity v. One of my favourite ships (joscarl), while one of the more popular ones, doesn't have as active of a tag as before (different story for a different day) but I love it nonetheless. However, I also happen to enjoy any skin ship that involves the blindspot skin. This is a controversial choice, as pretty much any ship with that skin is considered problematic, but I don't particularly care as I'm not forcing anyone to like it.

I am the one person who writes fics (and wrote for my previous ship) for them because I enjoy them. But after time, I just don't want to always be the one to do it.

I want to sit down and read something written by a different person. And yea, you can go to jp sites and use google translate to get a fic to read (even if the translation is a bit wonky) but do I really want to do that every time? Can a person not want to just sit down and enjoy something?

This sort of complaining, while still complaining, isn't really the same as the first situation I described. One is a person (who probably isn't a fic writer) complaining about something they like not having more fics and the other is a person actively creating fanwork for themselves, getting burned out and not wanting to always have to create food they want.

While at its core it is the same thing, there is a difference, and I don't believe they should be treated the same way.

As someone who creates fanworks, I love the process of creating things for the characters and ships I enjoy. But there are just so many things that factor into this and sometimes I just don't want to do that. Sometimes I just want to be the audience who enjoys something, like the people enjoying my fics do when I write them.

I hope this resonated with someone at least. This was more of an open discussion that I would like for people to see and also bring their thoughts into. You're free to respond to this however you like as I always love a good discussion as long as it's polite!

“You just make things so hard sometimes.” | Becca x MC (Jey)

Hey, guys. This is the first fic I have ever written. Ever. In my entire life. It’s a bit lengthy too, so I’m sorry if it bores you or if it’s not up to your guys’ standards. Hope you guys like it though. AND PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK :( I wanna know how I can improve my writing. Thanks guys.

It had been so boring today. Classes were bleak, the professors just droning on and on about whatever uninteresting topic they were talking about. Having no one to rant to about this also wasn’t helping, and Becca somewhat found herself missing Madison’s company.

“I don’t need her,” she thought, furrowing her eyebrows.

She still felt bitter about everything that’s happened–the divorce and the outvoting–and thinking about those soured her mood even more.

She started walking down the quad with a huff, the light spring breeze blowing her hair gently across her face. She needed a distraction from all of this; she needed Jey.

Becca reached down and opened her bag, grabbing her phone to send a text to Jey. Busy? Where are you?

Her reply was quick. Just working on an article. I’m by my tree. Something wrong?

She found it cliche that Jey’s ideal working place in Hartfeld was under a tree in the more secluded area near the quad. The silence makes sense, but where would she charge her laptop?

I’m coming. She replied, disregarding the latter question.

As Becca made her way to the tree, she took out her compact and fixed herself a little. Gotta look good at least.

From a short distance, she could make out Jey’s relaxed frame, typing away on her laptop. A notepad and some sheets of paper lie by her side. She looked about, checking if there wasn’t anyone nearby that she knew. There wasn’t a lot of people around, but it wouldn’t hurt to be sure.

“Hey,” Becca greeted as she walked over to her.

Jey looked up from her laptop and smiled as she saw Becca. “Oh, hey.”

Oh, dear god that smile. Becca would never admit how she loved seeing it. She was slightly flustered by Jey’s subtle scrutiny, loving the way how her brown gaze felt just as kind as normal but held a degree of intensity to it–a look mostly reserved for people Jey deeply cared about–and she almost forgot how her throat worked. Yep, she felt better already. “Classes done?”

“Y-yeah,” Becca stuttered. She sighed, sitting down next to her.

“I’m guessing they went well?” Jey teased, seeing the woman’s lack of enthusiasm. She put her laptop aside and turned to Becca, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear and kissed her cheek softly. Becca rolled her eyes.

“Ugh, hardly,” she grumbled as she laid her head on the brunette’s shoulder, Jey wrapping an arm around her waist. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“So what happened?” Jey asked.

“Nothing.”

“Nothing, huh? You wouldn’t be acting like this if ‘nothing’ happened.” She cast a side-eye.

“No, that’s just it. My classes bored me to death and there’s literally nothing to do.”

“Well, you could always do me…” Jey trails off. Becca raised her head from Jey’s shoulder and gave her an unamused look, chuckling slightly when Jey gave her a sly wink.

“Shut up,” Becca said, looking down as her smile faded. “And all this divorce and sorority crap isn’t doing me any good either.”

“Oh…” Jey frowned. “Have you talked to Madison yet?”

“Of course not, why would I?” She scoffed, shaking her head. Jey moved her other arm and took Becca’s hand in hers, running her thumbs in slow, comforting strokes. She felt Becca relax a little against her.

“Becca, she really wants to patch things up with you. Just hear her out, I’m sure that she’s having a hard time with this too. She is your best friend, right?”

“Oh please. She stole my position. She’s probably having a grand time now that she’s queen bee,” she said, rolling her eyes.

Jey sighed and looked at Becca, thoughtful. “I highly doubt that, Becca. She’s a really sweet girl, and it’s not like she asked for the girls to vote for her. That’s just very un-Madison.” Jey reasons. “And remember how you told me that you only got one vote? Did–”

“Wow,” Becca interrupted, her face forming her trademark scowl. “Thanks for reminding me.”

“I’m just saying,” Jey said emphatically, “Did you ever stop to think that that vote could come from Madison?”

Becca’s scowl softened. Huh. Madison would do that. She knew the endearing dummy too well, but was far too proud and stubborn to admit that maybe Madison did vote for her. The thought did little to quell her annoyance though.

“I don’t wanna talk about it anymore.” Becca finally said, suddenly cold and withdrawn. She looked down and started plucking at a patch of grass by her side. Jey breathed a sigh resignation, clearly disappointed, but knew better than to push. “Okay.”

They stayed like that for a few minutes, Jey holding Becca in her arms, hoping the silence and her touch may calm Becca. Jey held her closer and nuzzled against her neck, relieved when there weren’t any signs of protest from her.

Birds’ chirping could be heard in the distance along with the low murmur from a few people occasionally passing by. Leaves rustled as the wind blew, and Jey closed her eyes, reveling in the quiet and Becca’s warmth. Maybe I should bring Becca here with me more oft–

“I’m sorry I’m like this.” Becca spoke, her voice interrupting Jey’s thoughts. “I don’t get how you put up with me, why you put up with me” she continued, her somber tone worrying Jey. She removed her hand from Jey’s grasp and looked down, staring at that same patch of grass she was plucking earlier.

“Becca…” Jey turned her body towards Becca, her heart breaking as she assessed the woman beside her, studying the woeful expression on her face.

“Every time you see me, I’m either mad or sad. I’ve been so horrible to you, Jey,” Becca looks at her. “Since day one. I spilled coffee on you, I humiliated you in front of the whole sorority, I fucking pushed you into a pool, I’ve been a bitch to you everytime we saw each other, I–”

Becca broke. The shame of her actions overwhelmed her; the force of it almost physical, so much that she glanced away from Jey and stared at the ground. One day, Jey would forgive her, because it was in her nature to forgive. And maybe she already has. She was a compassionate woman, who for whatever reason, cared about Becca and was willing to give her a second chance. But could Becca ever forgive herself?

She doubted it.

Hot pinpricks lit behind her eyes. Becca closed them and tried hard to blink back the threat of tears. She hated showing any kind of vulnerability to anyone, but her strength was wavering.

“Hey, look at me.” Jey said softly, grasping Becca’s chin and gently raised it. Becca lifted her eyes, reluctantly meeting Jey’s gaze.

But then Jey kept staring at her, kind brown eyes searching and forgiving, so lovely and soft and full of caring, and that traitorous warmth in her chest started to seep through the cracks, and it was all so unfair.

“I care about you, Becca. I care about you a lot more than I let you on to know,” Jey said, wondering if her admission gave too much away. She raised her hand and cupped Becca’s cheek, running her thumb across her skin lightly. “I didn’t know those things still bothered you until now. I thought we’ve gone through this before…” Sure, they’ve mentioned it briefly before, but Jey never knew that Becca was still holding this close to her chest.

“I’m sorry, Jey. I’m so, so sorry.” Becca wasn’t the type of person to say those words so easily. You usually have to fight with her just to get her to apologize, and even if she knows she’s clearly in the wrong, she’d still be unwilling to say those damned words, stubborn and unrelenting. But dear god, why was she so willing to let her walls down when it comes to Jey? Why did she keep on showing vulnerability around her? Becca couldn’t understand. “I… I don’t deserve you,” she weakly whispered, knowing well that Jey had already put this issue past them.

Jey watched Becca struggle with her feelings, her heart aching at the sight before her. She’d never imagined Becca, the mean, abrasive Becca, to show this magnitude of emotions to her.

“Maybe you don’t…” Jey replied slowly, making Becca look up at her. “But even so, do you think that would change the way I treat you or how I feel about you?” She paused. “Even if you don’t believe it, you deserve to be happy, Becca. And I’ll do anything to make that happen.” Her eyes were full of sincerity and something more, Becca couldn’t put her finger on it. It was too soon to tell but, was it… love?

“Come here.” Jey cupped Becca’s face with her hands and leaned forward to kiss her. The sudden pressure of Jey’s lips on Becca’s was dizzying, and it was only because Jey’s hands held her steady that she didn’t break contact. Her lips were warm, placing soft and gentle kisses that seemed to devour every scrap intelligence from Becca’s mind, constant and reassuring.

Jey pulled back after a long moment, breathless. She tangled her fingers in Becca’s blonde tresses, leaning forward to rest their heads together. Becca’s eyes were still closed, and a great deal of color returned to her cheeks.

“Jey…” Becca started, opening her eyes. “You… Christ, you. I…” she pulled back a little and swallowed a lump in her throat, looking straight into Jey’s eyes, unbelieving yet grateful. She didn’t see the point in arguing with Jey anymore. She was so emotionally drained.

“I meant what I said before, Becca,” Jey said, her voice slightly hoarse with emotion. “That I cared about you… You’re just. Ugh. You just make things so hard sometimes.” Jey laughed lightly, stroking Becca’s cheek affectionately.

Becca snorted softly, pressing an exhausted kiss against Jey’s cheeks as her fingers combed through Jey’s hair. She couldn’t believe how this girl could stand her, she’d just taken them both on a roller coaster of emotions after all.

There was a long silence, both giving each other meaningful looks full of raw emotion. Becca buried her face against Jey’s neck, loving the way Jey’s arms wrapped around her in a sweet, comforting embrace.  

 A sudden beep cut through the silence.

“Crap,” Jey said quietly, looking over towards the source of the sound. She frowned.

“What?”

“My laptop died.”

Forgive me if you guys found this piece unamusing, too lengthy, or whatever. Like I said, I’ve never written ANYTHING of this kind in my entire life, so please bear with me if you found a lot of errors and flaws. I tried my best though.

Jealous - Kaitlyn x MC (NSFW)

So I went down the rabbit’s hole for this entry of fem slash week. I don’t know what came over me. I am not usually like this. Truth be told this is my first thing I ever wrote that I would describe as NSFW. Definitely not as graphic as others but, more graphic than anything else I have ever written. Thanks to @hollyashton for being awesome beta. 

Title: Jealous  Pairing: Kaitlyn x MC (named Emily)  Story: The Sophomore  Prompt: Playchoices femslash week which is courtesy of the great @hanaslee. Oh, wait who am I kidding every day I am in choices fandom it is a femslash day. Summary: What happens when Kaitlyn get jealous of the growing friendship of Becca and MC. 

Kaitlyn came home from band practice to her girlfriend and Becca on the couch debating who the prince was going to choose to be his princess. They were so involved with the show they both didn’t notice her at all. Kaitlyn sat down in the recliner, and she had to cough to get their attention. They weren’t doing anything wrong but they both jump and moved farther apart on the couch. Emily, her girlfriend, had faint pink coloring on her cheeks and Kaitlyn couldn’t help but notice.

 “You two still watching that Prince show,” Kaitlyn said. “It is called The Royal Romance,” Becca rolled her eyes at Kaitlyn. Emily giggled at the comment. Her eyes were still glued to the television. Kaitlyn looked at the television when they were showing the women vying for the prince’s heart. She pointed at one of them and said, “She is pretty.” Becca laughed and said, “Of course you like the lesbian.”

Kaitlyn wanted to throw one of the accent pillows that were on the chair at Becca. Kaitlyn crossed her arms in front of her chest and let a huge breath out. “How would you know?” Kaitlyn questioned Becca. “My gaydar is pretty accurate. I knew about you and Emily still didn’t have a clue before that dare kiss,” Becca retorted. Kaitlyn and Emily, both at once, said, “Hey.” “Well, it is the truth. Now rewind the last part I missed it,” Becca told Emily. 

Kaitlyn was watching them again giggling at the scenes before them, both of them rooting for a different contestant. Kaitlyn thought that the two of them had more in common than Kaitlyn and her girlfriend. Then the thought that crossed her mind that maybe she was all wrong for her girlfriend. Just seeing them together made her jealous streak come out. Kaitlyn shook it off thinking that Becca doesn’t swing that way. Little did Kaitlyn know that Becca did swing that way.

After the show, Emily got up and stretched she started to move over to where Kaitlyn was sitting that. “Hey babe sorry, I know you don’t like shows like that,” She told Kaitlyn. “Maybe, we can go to your room for some privacy,” Kaitlyn told her. She was tired of sharing her girlfriend with Becca. Emily was happy to oblige Kaitlyn as she waved bye to Becca and then took Kaitlyn’s hand to pull her up.

Kaitlyn came up quickly, and now her and Emily were chest to chest. Becca turned off the television and uttered that she was going back to her room. Emily laughed and warmed Kaitlyn’s heart. She could feel Emily’s heart was racing and all she was thinking about how fast she can get her girl in her underwear.

Emily still had her hands interlocked with Kaitlyn’s hands as she glanced at Kaitlyn’s lips. Her lips moved closer, and she let go of Kaitlyn’s hands. Emily wrapped her arms around Kaitlyn’s waist trying to get even closer to Kaitlyn. She broke the kiss and rested her head on one of Kaitlyn’s shoulders. “I am sorry didn’t think you were going to be home until later,” Emily said to Kaitlyn. “Sorry for what,” Kaitlyn was almost speechless about Emily being sorry about spending time with Becca and not her.

“I just want you to know that you are the one I want,” Emily whispered into Kaitlyn’s ear. If Emily was trying to turn on Kaitlyn, it was working. Kaitlyn wanted to claim Emily was hers even if Becca already knew that was a fact. Kaitlyn wanted the world to know this one was hers. She did not like that train of thought, but it crept in her mind anyway. Kaitlyn knew that people still hit on her even if Emily was oblivious to it.

Kaitlyn told Emily, “Let’s move this to your room. It is closer than my room after all.” Kaitlyn didn’t want to wait anymore. She wanted her girlfriend all to herself. Kaitlyn wasn’t into sharing especially her girlfriend. It was hard enough last school year with the other four suite mates but, now it was worse because none of them were Becca. Emily was the one to befriend her and asked her to move into the last room that was empty. Now, the vixen was living under the same roof and watching romantic comedies with her girlfriend. Kaitlyn should be glad that Emily found a friend in Becca.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Emily taking her one of her hand and leading her to Emily’s bedroom. “This is my favorite part,” Kaitlyn said. “Oh really,” Emily commented back to her. “Yeah, when you know the main character is going to get lucky,” Kaitlyn joked. “I don’t know you were pretty jealous sitting over in the recliner eying Becca and me. Maybe, I should punish you.” Kaitlyn was taking back that she thought she was discreet when she was looking at Becca and Emily giggling about the show.

Kaitlyn wanted to get punished she knew how Emily felt about her. She knew how loyal Emily already was to her after last year’s band incident. Kaitlyn also knows just how lucky she was that Emily was here with her. Emily opened her door and let Kaitlyn in first. Kaitlyn was fired up by the whole scene in the living room and when she turned around to face Emily, she was in for a treat as Emily was already taking off her shirt. Kaitlyn’s mouth got dry as the love of her life stripped down.

Oh yeah, Kaitlyn was so getting lucky tonight. Kaitlyn was enjoying the view of Emily’s toned abs were on display for her to see. Emily looked over to Kaitlyn and said, “You know I think it is hot you get jealous. You know no one is going to get in between us.” Kaitlyn couldn’t speak for a moment, as Emily unbuttoned her blue jeans. “Damn straight. Which we aren’t,” Kaitlyn said after finding her voice. She moved in closer but Emily waved her pointer finger at Kaitlyn as she looked at her girlfriend from head to toe. Kaitlyn took the hint and started undressing.

Kaitlyn could see the upside of being jealous tonight as their passion was heightened that night. Emily wanted to show her there wasn’t anyone else around her as she pushed Kaitlyn on to the bed. Kaitlyn always loved to see this side of her girlfriend. Emily always let people push her around but behind closed doors she was in charge. Kaitlyn didn’t mind one bit letting her girlfriend take control as Emily started kissing her neck right where Kaitlyn had a sensitive spot over below the ears.

Kaitlyn could not help it - she let out a moan as Emily moved lower down. She was so ready for Emily to take her already. “Wow, Kaitlyn we just started, and you are already wet,” Emily purred at Kaitlyn as she took off Kaitlyn’s black lacy panties that matched her bra. Emily went to take off Kaitlyn’s bra next. “I don’t think you will need this the rest of tonight,” Emily said to her. Emily stopped, her knees were astride of Kaitlyn’s hips as sat upright on Kaitlyn as she took off her bra. Kaitlyn enjoyed the view as her hands found Emily’s breasts. Kaitlyn thought they felt so good as she started rubbing them. The stimuli of Kaitlyn’s hands on her breasts made her arch her back and moan herself.

Emily moved down to get closer to her lover. As Kaitlyn pulled Emily up closer to be able to kiss her breasts, Kaitlyn kept going to stimulating them was her tongue. At the same time her hands were trying to push her girlfriend’s purple panties down so she could see how wet Emily was. Emily stopped what she was doing with her hands and was able to help out with becoming completely naked.

A few moments later Kaitlyn was finding the perfect spot of Emily, and she moaned louder and asked Kaitlyn not to stop what she was doing. Kaitlyn got her girl to climax as she could feel Emily tremble. Knowing that she had this effect on Emily made her feel like she was on top of the world. Maybe no one will get in between them after all.

You Got Me (Becca x MC)

Summary: You are busy writing the essay for Vazquez's assignment when you find a cat outside the coffee shop. Why would a cat be on campus? Author's note: This is my second entry to #ChoicesCreates round 22 hosted by @hollyashton and @ravenclawpokegirl25 as my first to #PlayChoicesFemlashWeek. The story takes place during book three of the Freshman/Sophomore. Hope you enjoy!! You Got Me (Becca x MC) "Do you really need to go? We're in the middle of our study session". Zack asks pointing at the books all over the table. "Yes, don't forget we're: study buddies". Tyler says with that tune that never fails to make you laugh. You smile, putting back all of your things in your bag. "Sorry guys, I really need to work on that essay Vazquez wants for tomorrow. He just messaged to remind me and I have nothing!". "Hey, you going already? I thought we could all hang out for a bit since it's my break". Zig walks to where you and your friends are, coffee in his hands. "Sorry. Maybe next time?". You throw an apologetic look, putting your bag over your shoulder, Zig smiles. "Sure, no problem". "Thanks! Coffee goes on me tomorrow!". You shout, making your way out of the cafeteria and laugh when you listen to Zack yelling: I'll believe when I see it!. You start making your way to the suite but stop when a sound catches your attention. Turning around, you see a small figure making its way to the alley where the coffee shop's trash cans are. You hesitate, not sure of continuing your way or following that 'thing'. 'It could give me something to write about'. You think to yourself and finally decide to make your way to the alley. You start walking to where the noise came from, noticing a yellow/orange cat sitting by the wall. "Hey there". Blue eyes look up and you smile, getting closer to pet it, but the cat growls softly, your hand flinching away. Once again you get closer slowly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you". You say, waiting for a reaction from the cat. When you see she stays in place you put your hand on her head, giving soft strokes. "Well aren't you cute?". You look around. "I didn't know pets were allowed in campus. Maybe you got lost". You look at the cat again, who stares at you with an unamused expression. Weird. "Do cats normally do that?". You ask yourself, shrugging after a few seconds. Your fingers stroke her head another time and you let out sigh. "I can't leave you here, can I. Guess you're coming with me". Rising from you feet, you carry the cat to your arms but the animal seems to try to escape. "Someone is sneaky huh?". You secure your arms around it and the cat gives up, relaxing in your hold. Walking out of the alley you're too distracted with the cat and bump into someone. "Sorry!". The voice says. "It's fine-Oh! Hey Madison!". You greet with a smile. "You look worried". The cat has an startled look and hides under your hands. "I am". Madison frowns as you look up. "Have you seen Becca? She didn't come to the sorority yesterday and I haven't seen her all morning!". You shake your head. "I haven't. Sorry Madison". "Don't worry". She smiles at you. "I just thought that you might knew since you've got close to her. I'll have to continue searching then. Bye!". Madison continues her way as you do the same. The cat looks up from your hands and relaxes again. "You are scared? You must not see much people. Don't worry, tomorrow we'll find your owner, or should I say hooman?". You chuckle but those blue eyes stare at you again, eyebrow raised. Seriously, this cat was weird.

Entering the suit you check if anyone is home. Hearing no sound you close the door behind you and put the cat down, letting her explore the place. You enter the kitchen and open the fridge, taking out the milk. You pour some in a bowl and walk to your bedroom, the cat behind you. "Are you hungry?". You put down the bowl and offer it to the animal, but the cat frowns and walks away. "O-kay? So you don't like milk". You nod slowly. "Maybe you'd like some tuna?". The cat scowls. "Right, no tuna". The animal stares at you, her expression unchanging. "Geez, you really are picky aren't you?". You walk to you closet and take out a ball of yarn. "You can play with this while I work on my essay". You sigh, taking a seat in front of your computer. "Now, I'm supposed to write about my weirdest experience until now. The problem is, I haven't had one at all". You stare at the screen, blanc space waiting to be used. "Oh! What about that time- No, no, no that's not right". You wait for your mind to come up with something but it's useless, throwing you head backwards, you let out a groan. "Ugh, this is so frustrating!". You sigh for the nth time. You turn to the cat to see her touching the ball for a second before throwing it away. You roll your eyes. Wanting to distract yourself you get up and look for a newspaper from last week's Knightly News, you open it and put it on the floor. "You'll sleep here tonight". You say to the cat. Thinking it may help, you decided to sleep for a while and make your way to your bed. You lay down and cover yourself with the blanket you left aside the previous night. Closing you eyes, you feel a weight shifting in the mattress and look down to see the cat making herself comfortable at your right. "I thought I said you'd sleep there". You point at the floor, but the cat ignores you and stays there. You let out a chuckle. "You know? You remind me of someone. She's a meanie just like you". You  unconsciously smile thinking about Becca, wondering where she is. "I hope she's alright, last time we saw each other we didn't exactly part in good terms". You take a deep breath. "She keeps shutting me out but I'm sure she knows she can talk to me whenever she wants. Maybe she's scared of showing she can be nice to someone". You laugh and look down, blue eyes staring at you once again. You pet her side and the cat gets closer. "Ahh ... I don't know what we're doing. We said there wouldn't be feelings involved but last time I saw her I wanted to ask and take the next step, now I'm not sure anymore, I'm starting to get tired of being rejected". The cat looks down as if deep in thought, resting her head on her paws. "Thanks for listening though, you may not understand but it felt good letting it out". You stretch, letting out a yawn. "Now let's sleep before I start writing".

You open your eyes when the sun goes down, the room is dark and you let out a yawn, sitting to look for the switch of your lamp. You turn to your left and let out a scream, startling the person lying next to you. "AHHH!! BECCA!". Becca yelps almost falling to the floor and throws an annoyed look at you. Suddenly she seems dumbfounded and starts touching her arms, chest and face. Finally, she turns to you. "Hey! Don't scream!. You're giving me a headache". She scowls. "W-What are you doing in my room!?". It's then when you notice a pair of furry cat ears pointing out from her head and see a fluffy tail wiggling behind her as she sat up. You raise your eyebrows, your breathing back to normal but it's almost impossible as you notice she's there in all her naked glory. You shake your head. "And what's that? Is this some kind of fetish of yours?". Your hand reaches to touch the ears but Becca yelps as you pinch them. "Ouch! Those are my ears dammit!". She swaps your hand away. "Wait, w-where's the cat?". You ask, looking around for the animal. You're so, so confused. "I AM the cat, you silly". You look at Becca. "So ... you're the cat ... Are you playing a prank on me?!". A look of hurt flashes across her face but fades quickly replaced by one of anger. "Why would I lie! I am as surprised as you!". You put your hand up in surrender. "Fine, fine". You stare at the mattress, silence falling over you. Becca drums her fingers on top of the blanket. Clearing your throat you look up. "So, how did you end up being a cat?". Becca sighs. "Madison came home a few days ago with this tonic a woman gave her. It was supposed be and energetic. We wanted to drink coffee so she made some and poured that thing in her mug but at the end I got confused and drank hers". You nod, taking a few seconds to take in her story. "Then I left to class but I started to feel dizzy, the next thing I knew were that my ears changed and suddenly a cat tail came out of me!. Ugh it's a long story". "Right ... why were you in that alley then?". Becca rolls her eyes. "I wanted to return to the sorority without being seen but you appeared and ruined my plans". Well now the cat's attitude made sense. "Then why didn't you bite or something?". Becca shrugs. "I kind of understood you wouldn't give up so I just resigned. And honestly? That joke you made about 'finding my hooman' was really bad". You look at each other and laugh. "And I wanted to see what you'd do". A small smile appears in her face. "It's strange seeing you with cat ears and a tail but I could get used to it". You joke as she shakes her head. "God no! I hope soon they'll disappear. I have a reputation". Becca reaches out for you hand, caressing your knuckles. "Those things you said ... I'm sorry if I pushed you away". You open your eyes big, memories of hours ago coming back. "You heard?". "Duh, you were talking to me". Becca points out the obvious, you freeze, now she knew you wanted something more serious with her. What would she do?. "Did you really mean to ask me to take the next step?". You nod, it was pointless to deny it and knowing Becca, she wouldn't leave it alone. "Okay". "Okay? Is, is that a yes?". "Sure, I mean if you want". She lets herself fall backwards. "Ugh ... I pushed you away because you wouldn't leave my mind. It scared me to think I wanted to be your girlfriend". You smirk. "So are we together for real?". "If you still want to. You said you weren't sure anymore and I kind of understand that. I've been nothing but mean to you". "I like it when you're mean to me sometimes". "..." "It's hot".

"Seriously?". Becca seems surprised and you laugh. "Hey, I'm fine with us being together and all but can we keep it down for a while? I'm not ready to go public yet". You roll your eyes. "Yes, yes whatever".

Becca smiles and leans in to kiss you as you think of today’s events. Vazquez would be pleased, that was for sure.

Party Shenanigans (Nicole x Audrey)

Summary: Audrey, with Nicole’s help, plays a prank on Leo at his bachelor party at the waterpark.

Rating: T

Author’s note: This is my entry for Playchoices Femslash Week, hosted by @hanaslee.

Nicole stepped out of the water, then turned back to look at Audrey. "Are you about ready to go?"

"I guess." Audrey got out and headed over to Nicole. "It's too bad I didn't bring the camera. It would have been great to film the bachelor and bachelorette parties."

"Yes, but it's probably just as well. Cameras and waterparks don't really mix." Nicole reached for her dress.

"True." Audrey grinned. "Hey, Leo has a sense of humor, doesn't he?"

"Probably. He's adventurous, and he looks like he's having a lot of fun." Nicole pulled her dress over her head, then looked at Audrey. "Why, what are you up to?"

Audrey scanned the room, looking at the piles of clothes. "Do you know what he was wearing tonight?"

Nicole pointed to a brown leather jacket. "That's his jacket over there."

"Come with me." Audrey picked up her dress and shoes, then headed towards Leo's jacket. "Stand in front of me, OK?" Audrey bent down and began to rummage through Leo's clothes. She then stood and, carrying her clothing, began to walk away. "Let's go to the ladies' room."

Nicole followed Audrey into the rest room. "What's going on? What did you do?"

Audrey set her clothes down on the counter by the sink, then held up Leo's pants. "He'll never think to look for these in here."

Nicole's mouth dropped open, and then she began to giggle. "You really have nerve."

"And you love that about me." Audrey folded up the pants and tucked them into the corner of the counter, then put on her dress and shoes.  "Let's see how long it takes for him to notice they're missing."

They exited the ladies' room and looked around the waterpark. The party was winding down, and people were gathering up their clothing. Leo and his fiancée were lingering in the hot tub.

"Are you two going to stay in there all night?" Alex called out to his sister and Leo. They stood up, got out of the hot tub, and went to get their clothing.

"Hey, where are my pants?" Leo began looking through the nearby piles of clothing. As he searched throughout the waterpark, Audrey put her hand over her mouth to suppress her giggles.

"You look damn good without them!" his fiancée shouted to him.

Nicole laughed. "I think my sister's feeling those drinks."

Audrey nodded as she burst into laughter. She motioned toward the door, and Nicole followed her outside the waterpark.

Audrey and Nicole collapsed into laughter for several minutes. When they began to calm down, Nicole took out her cell phone. "We can't let Leo leave with no pants on." She typed a text message to her sister. I think I left something in the ladies' room. Could you go check for me? She then looked up at Audrey. "Are you ready to go back to the ship? We could continue the party in my room."

"That sounds like fun." Audrey pulled Nicole close and kissed her. She then reached for her hand, and they began walking away from the waterpark.

i know you haven't written a lot of it past year but whats your top 5 gg fic from 2020?

Hi anon! Thanks for asking! I am honestly so surprised at how much this fandom has grown and just how huge of a selection of writers it has. We’re very very lucky. I remember posting my first fic when there were maybe 3 or 4 active writers, so this is very cool! That being said, I want to highlight the femslash in this fandom because it’s SO good, there could be more, and what little we have deserves some attention. So here are my top five of the year! 

Beth x Rhea

Soon, by watermelonriddles is a really sweet and sad snapshot of Beth’s guilt about taking Rio away from his son, and about her conflicting feelings for Rhea. The author captures Rhea’s trust in Beth and Beth’s nurturing side so well, and the dynamic we got a tiny glimpse of before Rhea was taken away from us (bring her back Jenna!). Beth’s intentions are never malicious but they’re often not the best choice, and that’s represented here in such a great way. 

Eager by nomind is just a sweet little ficlet about Beth and Rhea in an established relationship out on a date on their anniversary. They’re wearing dresses and being lovey and cheesy, they’re going to a movie. I love it I love it! Would LOVE some more of them. 

Beth x Ruby

Almost by subtlesraf is...oh my god. This fic took my breath away. I was surprised that after/during Beth and Ruby’s big fight we didn’t see a surge of femslash for these two because the prompt was THERE. I’ve always felt like Ruby and Beth’s relationship is so, so intense, like their love borders on romantic love canonically, and this fic captures the intensity of their love and the fragility of female closeness and the impact that betrayal has on these relationships. I love their love and I was so happy to read something that zoomed in on them so beautifully. 

Now for my ultimate wlw OTP in this show

Annie/Nance

Not So Simple by makemeanybraver takes place soon after Nancy gives birth. She’s struggling with postpartum depression and calls Annie for help. I find it really interesting that it’s canon that despite the animosity between them, Nance can’t help but seek comfort in Annie, and Annie can’t say no to providing that comfort. I love moments where relationships make significant shifts toward something more, and this is such a great take on that. I love these two and how complicated and beautiful they could be. This fic is such a great depiction of what could happen. 

june after dark by prettylittlementirosa AKA @hypermania is chef’s kiss perfection. First of all. What a title. It makes me want to scream it’s so good. Annie’s voice is perfect, Nancy’s voice is perfect, Ben’s voice is perfect. Everything is perfect. There are so many callbacks to those moments between Nancy and Annie where they were almost getting along, to Dakota’s birth, which in my opinion were Annie’s more intense emotional moments on the show. I love the complex shit they’ve got going on between them, and look, yeah this could be messy, but @hypermania captures exactly how this could work in one little portion:

Because it was there when Nancy was on her couch, venting about her marriage and her friends and her life. It was there when Nancy was clutching at Annie’s arms, wrapped tight around her chest, just trying to get through the horrors of child birth when she thought her life was falling apart around her. It was there the next time she saw Nancy, with a whole boob out, trying to get Dakota to latch on, mumbling something about normalizing breastfeeding and instagram hashtags and really, it’s been there ever since. It’s just that it feels impossible to ignore right now as Annie watches Nancy sway back and forth with Dakota, lulling him into a restful sleep, one hand propped under his butt, the other rubbing soothing circles into his back.

Without even thinking Annie reaches out to tuck an errant strand of hair that’s fallen in Nancy’s face behind her ear. Nancy freezes, her blue eyes snapping up to meet Annie’s, and fuck why did she do that?

She steps back, clearing her throat, and shoves her traitorous hand into her pocket.

“I’m just gonna go get Ben and we’ll be out of your hair.”

Nancy doesn’t say anything, just watches as Annie retreats.

And yeah, Annie’s mortified, but–

But.

The way Nancy’s expression turns from surprise to confusion to something else is going to play on repeat in Annie’s mind for weeks.

Fuck.

Considering all of Annie’s questionable choices, pursuing a relationship with Nancy would be the best bad choice she could make and the only proof I need is this beautiful fic that makes me clutch my chest with emotion.

It was almost obsessive. So he did what any sane man would do and loosened some of the compression nuts with a wrench (he’d had to watch a couple of videos to learn how). He then proceeded to check out Harry’s ass while he worked, his mouth dry and his conscience taking the day off. " Draco breaks things. Harry is a hot repairman. ❤️ Read on AO3

He then accepts to go out with one of Neville’s acquaintances, never expecting that decision would bring him back to his obsession for Draco Malfoy. “That was his cue. Had Harry stopped to think about his situation, he could have left. Malfoy was nibbling at his neck, he had his hand down his pants. All things considered, a disaster incoming. And yet, his feet still refused to move. After all, he was not the stop-to-think-of-consequences kind of guy.” ❤️ Read on AO3

He'd always been one, but having a town of Muggles consider him as close to God's gift as they would ever receive was certainly validating. Except it wasn't enough. After years of settling, of conjuring masterpieces with his fingers and his prowess, Draco realised he needed a change. How hard could it be to find an apprentice pâtissier that did what they were told? As it happened, doing 'what was told' was about the last thing on his inevitable prospect's mind. Trust Harry Potter to be the one to turn Draco's life upside down. ❤️ Read on AO3

Draco would much rather leave, really, he would, because the last thing he needs is to be anywhere near Potter and his wild hair and green eyes, his shoulders and that bloody voice��� what was he saying? Oh yes– Harry Potter is the last person he wants to be around. But it’s kinda hard to leave when he’s being so bloody distracting… ❤️ Read on AO3
