    Summary

    Perhaps an overlooked point of contention within their (fairly) new courtship: Cressida Cowper is too diligent a student regarding the finer points of feminine etiquette and flirting while Eloise Bridgerton is wholly uninterested (and uneducated) in feminine etiquette.

    Or: Eloise is woefully oblivious and Cressida is perpetually (sexually) frustrated.

    Summary

    Once the order is in and the stack of eight coffees is secured in the cart she had brought just for the occasion (she learned long ago to not trust herself with carrying that much liquid with her bare hands), Eloise grabs the two remaining coffees - one for herself and one for her demonic boss (she can only imagine his horror if his coffee dared to touch anybody else’s) - before turning.

    Right.

    Into.

    Another.

    Person.

    Literature Professor Eloise Bridgerton meets model Cressida Cowper and sparks (and coffee) fly.

    Summary

    For some reason, Eloise appears oblivious to the fact that she is indeed popular amongst the ladies of the ton. She always seems as if she is thinking a hundred different things at once, and then suddenly she’ll do something sweet, like drop by her house in a blue dress that makes her look like she’s fallen from the sky and call upon her to ask if she’s all right.

    Once, in the early days of their friendship, when they were still in the countryside, Cressida caught a slight cold and was barred from going outdoors for a few days. A servant slipped a note and box into her room. The box was a box of her favorite chocolates, mentioned offhand amongst a million other little things Cressida was probably rambling about, and the note said, Get well soon. Else I will not need to fake a sickness of my own to join your side. Yours, Eloise.

    Sometimes, when she is feeling low, when her father is being particularly hard on her, when the house seems too big, too empty, too much, she picks up the note, which she’s kept, creased from the amount of times she’s folded it and looked at it, and thinks of that address. Yours.

    Summary

    “So that’s why I bring Violet Wickett up,” says the first, feminine voice, “because there’s two things that have defined Vi her entire career. How hard she plays as a forward, especially on defence, and her rivalry with Caitlyn Kiramman.”

    “See, if I’m Mel Medarda, I’m not even giving Wickett another glance. I’m taking Kiramman with my first pick and grabbing from the end of the Ironfist’s bench.”

    “That’s what makes this so delicious, though, Jack. Mel Medarda can get both of them.”

    --

    Hockey AU. The RHL is expanding, and both Caitlyn and Vi are up for grabs, their rivalry being a well documented storyline in the RHL for twelve years. What happens, however, when they're both taken to a new team? What happens when a relationship forged in belief of only seeing each other once in a while on road games is faced with playing beside each other every day?

    Summary

    “I’m always amazed at how you’re not kidnapped or dead in a ditch. Your luck is almost annoying.”

     

    “What can I say?” Vi grinned with that casual leaning shrug. “God is a woman, and She thinks I’m hot.”

     

    Vi and Cait are coworkers on the second season of their hit show. Their characters onscreen have great chemistry and are popular with fans, but the actors themselves? Barely get along.

    Until they have to.

    “Do you miss it?” Gloria asks. “Barbieland, I mean.”

    Barbie considers this, looking over at Gloria. She’s wearing a loose linen blouse today, long sleeves pushed back to the elbows, and her hair is blowing slightly in the breeze coming in through the open kitchen window. She looks like every other woman in the world: beautiful.

    “Yes,” Barbie says. “Sometimes. But I’d rather be here with you.”

    After an impromptu conversation with Caitlyn's parents, Vi finds herself accompanying Caitlyn to her winter-home in Holdrum for a whole week. It's the first time Vi has ever been outside the city gates, the trip is fully-paid for and she'll get to be with Caitlyn the whole time.

    The problem? They have to pretend that they're dating and hopelessly in love with each other the whole time.

    For Vi, she won't really have to pretend.

    Vi lets Caitlyn say things to her that she would never, ever take from anyone else.

     

    “You’re wrong.”
    “You acted rashly.”
    “Perhaps there is a way to resolve this without punching someone.”

    But also. You know. Other stuff. Embarrassing stuff.

    Summary

    “Is this fraud bothering you, Mr. Bradley?” someone asks from behind Nat. It takes quite a bit of effort for Nat to keep from squeezing Eli’s shoulder unnecessarily hard.

    Nat turns around to face the other woman. Everything about her is plain, from her nondescript cargo pants to her simple navy mask to her goddamn hair, plain and dark and pulled back in a tight bun. She wants to be underestimated, but Nat’s never fooled.

    “Eli,” she throws back over her shoulder, “why don’t you just go home.”

    “Yes ma’am,” he says dutifully, and then all but runs away.

    Summary

    The mechanic isn’t just pretty – she’s muscular. And sweaty. And broad. Her shoulders are wider than they look at first glance, and as she reaches up to remove her hat and wipe at her brow with her forearm, Lena can see her bicep flex.

    Lena tries very hard not to be affected by that, or by the adorable red line the ball cap leaves on the woman’s forehead.

    “Hi! I’m Kara. James said your Porsche gave out?”

    OR

    Needing to get away from the stress of her job for a few months, Lena buys a summer lake house in the most remote town she can find. She fully intends on keeping to herself, resting, and interacting as little as possible with the locals.

    Until her car breaks down, and the town mechanic happens to be the hottest woman she’s ever seen.

    Summary

    Maria has been getting by on her own. She's got a stable job, she's got an apartment to herself, and all of the alone time that she wants. But she's never been able to say no to people, and everything falls apart at the seams when Tony asks her to look after his band during her scheduled moping time. Her history with the scene is suddenly much closer than she thought she'd left it.
    Natasha isn't fond of new people. She's got a close circle that she doesn't intend to expand any time soon, and the temporary manager that Tony has picked for them just doesn't sit right with her. She doesn't think she can be blamed for trying to keep her family safe if they're going to be living on top of each other for the next two months.

    “How do you LOSE a person Barton!?”

    The archer finds himself wincing on pure reflex and he holds up his hands in defense.

    “Hey, in my defense, it wasn’t my bright idea to bring the world’s most dangerous super spy onto the helicarrier.” If looks could kill, Clint knows he would be pushing daisies. He gulps and straightens his posture. “Aheh…Sir. I didn’t lose her! She’s just ah, misplaced?”

    Summary

    Maria only had the honor of meeting Peggy Carter a few times in her life, and she still thinks about those days she spent with her all the time.

    “You remind me of myself,” Peggy told her, once, when they grabbed drinks – the only time they grabbed drinks.

    Peggy was fully grey by then, with a perfect red lip and sorrow in her eyes, and Maria wondered if this would be her one day: a decorated woman with medals heavy with regret. Part of her knows it will be, but at least Peggy has stories, which means that Maria will too. She noticed that Peggy still wore two watches: one for Steve and one for her, to mark the time when they were in different places, to see if there might be a moment where they could find time for a 25 cent phone call.

    Maria wonders if she’ll ever have a reason to want to know the time in more than one place. She’s not sure. Her closest relationships have always been the other soldiers in her unit. To this day, she thinks about what Peggy told her about the Howling Commandos, about adventure and choices, about always doing what is right – or to at least die trying.

    (Or, a Maria Hill character study about learning to throw a punch and learning to take a hit, about doing what's right.)
