Summary
Jade is someone that is independent. Someone who is proud of being alone, of having no close friends, of being harsh before she is kind, of being sharp before she softens.
But it is fucking lonely here, with the only person she lets in close being a boyfriend who regularly prefers to spend time with other girls.
Why doesn’t he just fucking break up with me? Jade wants to ask, needs to ask for the answer to her ache, but she told herself a long, long time ago, when she watched her mother’s reactions to her father’s cheating, that she wouldn’t beg.
But Beck hasn’t quite cheated, has he, and they’ve been dating since they were fourteen, and she doesn’t know who she is when she’s not walking through Hollywood Arts with Beck’s arm around her waist.
But right now, Robbie is looking at her, and there is a tenderness in his eyes that makes her feel tender as a bruise, and she hates it, because Jade West is not fragile. She is not someone who is brittle.
She is not someone who lets Robbie fucking Shapiro get under her skin.
(When Robbie picks Jade up from play practice one day, Jade is forced to re-evaluate her relationship and what she wants out of love.)

Summary
They feel the urge to kiss her rise like bile, like a foreign thing. They have dreamed about this moment for years, but now they feel sick for want of it, helpless to stop it. Please don’t do this, they think, watching their hands rise to her cradle her face.
WHY? it asks. DON’T YOU WANT TO KISS HER, TOO?
(or: the same room, a different path, and a possession.)

To host a parasite is horrific. To have earned its affection, is another level entirely.

Summary
Once, she’d had dreams, after furtive hook-ups in college, the girls she’d taken back to her dorm room to bite into their bottom lips, the experiments and explorations of soft skin instead of stubble, of wide hips instead of flat stomachs, until she’d had to accept the fact that there was no chance of her burying her want for women.
She’d thought that one day she would get to be out.
But when she’d gotten accepted to the job at the prosecutor’s office, and she’d thought that she could do good, and she’d seen the cracked door of the closet slam shut on her aching fingers.
It nearly broke a bone in her chest, and maybe it did, to freeze herself up into the closet.
But she’d had—hope is too much of a word for lips that always strive to be so precise in language, but it is accurate, in its own way, for the belief that maybe she could make some change from the inside.
And then that case.
And then that fucking case.
Jack McCoy overturns same-sex marriage in New York just so that he can put someone away for murder, and it is a price that Serena cannot bear to pay.
The tides are turning, and she is planning on turning with them.
She has to, to live with herself.

Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.
