Summary
It had been years since Tally Craven walked these hallowed grounds. She hadn’t realized how much she missed it until today. The sun warmed her back and the autumn breeze kept her cool. She could feel the work now, thrumming through every inch of her being more than she ever could in her youth, and she imagined that’s what twenty years of honing her sight would do.

Summary
Alder didn’t move, nor did she say anything. She only stood there, panting hard, glaring into the wide eyes of her Cadet. There were things they needed to discuss, it seemed. Tally unraveled her scourge and held it with a slight uncertainty in her hands. Alder narrowed her eyes just as Tally brought her hands up in a fighting stance.
If they needed to let out their frustrations this way in order for a productive conversation to occur, then so be it.
Or
Their link never severed and they're feeling more from one another than they care to. Tally wants to find a solution while Sarah wants to blatantly ignore it—and her.

Summary
*EDIT* I have realized that this fic is going in a different direction than what I originally described. Yes, it is about food and exploration, but it is also about processing trauma. There are heavy conversations and a good amount of hurt/comfort. It is not all fluff!
A few months after season 3 ends, Sarah Alder shows up again, having been given the chance to live out her life. Her goal now is to eat as much new food as she can. Tally is along for the ride because she can't ignore her need to be close to the former general. Together, they embark on a light hearted, but heartfelt journey that brings them closer than they could have imagined.
This is meant to be sort of a cathartic resolution to what we all wanted from the Talder ship. I also wish the show had played more into Alder's eating habits. The one nacho scene was not enough. I don't know how long this will be. Just however long it takes for me to get these characters naturally to a place where they would accept their feelings for each other.

A Scarlet Song of Hallowed Moonlight by bnaras for thismellowmango

Summary
“Your eyes have changed”
“Yea, they have” Tally comments but doesn’t continue, instead finishing her sandwich. The fear of rejection draws her into avoidance even while the alpha in her chest rages at being denied, Sarah sighs.
“Are we to pretend I don’t know what that means?” Tally’s head snaps back to look at Sarah, surprised. The eye change was widely known between wolves but not many other species, not a guarded secret but certainly not advertised. Sarah chuckles. “I’ve walked this earth for centuries Tally, of course I know what it means.”
...
“Mia Cantante'' Sarah says softly, unable to meet umber eyes. Tally’s head tilts adorably, her eyes narrowing in thought as she tries to decipher what Sarah had just said.
“Your song?” She finally questions and Sarah’s own head tilts.
“Close. My singer.” Sarah reached for Tally's hand then, idly playing with her fingers. The alpha in her chest humming at the touch, content. “It’s an old expression for what vampires call their mates. Your blood… it sings to me, even right now it is raging in my ears like a song meant just for me.”

Summary
“What about you? Religious at all?” Tally’s own eyes dip then, reassessing Sarah. The black, the leather, the tattoos. Her eyes lingering on the moth permanently etched into the other woman’s throat with its dark tones and the little skull in the middle of its body. Tally thought it complemented the length of her neck perfectly. When her eyes drift back up she finds that same piercing gaze studying her. A smirk still resting on those lips.
“When I’m on my knees I prefer a different type of worship.”

Summary
“Quite some time? So, we’ve met before?” Tally whispered hesitantly, unsure she wanted the answer at the look of familiarity on the General’s face.
“Yes.” There’s a fond smile of recollection on the older woman’s face as she answers the redhead. The deep blue of the General’s aura almost sparkles with it.
“When?” The question squeaks out of terrified lips.
“The first time?” The older woman asks for clarification. Tally can only nod as she feels as though she’s just swallowed a hot coal. The General looks to the ceiling squinting, as if recalling a memory.
“It was 1679 in Eastern Europe, I was four.” General Alder tells her and Tally promptly chokes on her own saliva.

Summary
Most people believe that General Alder is heartless. That she is only cold and calculating--ruthless to a fault--that she doesn't feel pain, sorrow, or loss anymore after her many centuries. This isn't the case. In fact, Sarah Alder feels more deeply than most--and that is her burden to bear. Perhaps one Tally Craven can help lighten its weight.

There's something more to their connection and General Alder can't keep denying it. The problem is, she's not entirely sure what to do about it...but staying away isn't much of an option anymore. So, maybe she should take a chance on love after her many years of service.
