Summary
Two rooms were aglow in a dim yellowing light. Two women sat reading. One at a desk and the other propped under a bed sheet. The older woman felt a chill run down her spine. The hairs on her arms stood to attention. Her eyes glowed white and her book dropped closed on her desk.
Simultaneously, the tented bed sheet dropped shallower, and the now too small hands were barely able keep the clutched text open.

Summary
She had barely stood from the bench when she had felt the sharp sting of metal thorns piercing her left wrist. A quick turn with the intentions of a right hook and her arm froze mid swing as the second metal bracelet slapped and wrapped itself around her empty wrist. The immediate departure of magic from her body felt like death or how she imagined death would feel. It was cold and it was empty. She felt empty and her thoughts were still. Her mind empty and the silence deafening. The mind fairy had never known this kind of quiet.

Summary
It’s dark, it’s cold and she’s shaking. Fear, shock, pain, she’s not completely sure which or whether all of these are attacking her system at this moment in time. She has just clawed her way back through the earth and flowers, taken her first breath of clean air.

Summary
Carla knows, then, with a certainty so sudden it's almost shocking, that this, this thing, didn't start last month. It didn't randomly spark during the early-October evening when they were loose-lipped, half-tipsy with wine, when the blonde had settled cosily on her shoulder like she belonged there.
No, it's been smouldering away in the background, building and building, for a long, long time.
It's been six months in the making.
Or: "Don't get dressed" and everything else.

Summary
November 22nd 2024. Carla Connor walked into her flat, uttered the iconic line "Don't Get Dressed" and blew Lisa Swain's mind (and ours). But what if her gamble had backfired? What if...Lisa had turned her down?
Starting that infamous day, and continuing during the subsequent festive period, 'Hurt' tells the story from Carla's POV. How does she feel about being turned down? Can they go back to being friends, or has too much happened? What's been said cannot be unsaid and some things are difficult to get past.
This is a slow burn and a bit more angsty than most of my previous stories but, rest assured, there'll be some fluff coming!
