Summary
And, god, Jamie wants to say yes.
She wants Dani’s arms around her, wants it with a ferocity that terrifies. Something in the way Dani’s looking at her, her smile; the soft press of her fingers in Jamie’s, desperation reflected right back, makes Jamie want to say fuck it; press Dani back into the wall right outside Flora’s room and stay there forever.
“There will be other nights,” is what she says instead.

Summary
She flaps her wings experimentally and they lift by a few inches, the draft creating rivulets in the water surface beneath them. Yasha can’t stop the breathless laugh from bursting through her chest; hears it mirrored by Beau, still cradled gently in her arms.

Summary
“Adora,” Catra interrupts. “Come to bed, please.”
Adora softens. She drops the stack and pads over to Catra, absently pulling her hair tie out along the way, the golden strands falling and settling gently over the slope of her shoulders. She scoots gracelessly into the spot left out for her, the bed frame squeaking under her restless shuffling before Catra simply throws a heavy arm around her midriff and pulls her close, holding her still. In this position she can feel Adora’s chest rising and falling to the rhythm of her breathing, and the presence of it is more comforting than all the luxurious quilts and pillows in Bright Moon combined. Catra’s eyes slip shut.
When they open again, Adora is gone.

Summary
Nothing really dies. Life becomes death, which becomes life again.
you nod absently, more focused on the way the white petals reflect the moonshine with every tilt than your mother’s words.
it’s only later that you realize the true value of those words, when they become the mantra that holds you together as you stumble away from the howling wind, leaving behind everything you knew and loved.

Summary
Yang dies. She wakes up. She fights. She dies. The world stays the same, the situations barely change. Yang wakes up, she fights, she dies. She also falls in love — one repeated day at a time — with the one woman on Remnant who could possibly understand, even if her memories of Yang are erased with each reset. (Yang gets used to the dying, not so much the look in Blake’s eyes that marks her as a stranger.)

Summary
“Merry Christmas,” Scylla whispers, her lips still inches from Raelle’s.
“S’not Christmas yet,” Raelle replies, lamely. In her own defense, she can’t be expected to come up with something more eloquent when her girlfriend is looking at her like that.
Or: after the war, the gang takes a trip to spend Christmas in the Cession with Raelle's dad. Abi doesn't understand civvie traditions. Scylla doesn't understand how she suddenly has friends. Tally just really wants it to snow, and Raelle's got a very important question to ask.

Summary

"We all have our special talents," Owen explains. "Jamie fixes things and tends to the plants, I'm a world-class chef myself, and Hannah's like our glue, she holds us together, makes sure we don't neglect laundry four weeks in a row or—"
"Leave mold growing in the sink too long," Jamie adds in.
Owen drops his head, hand clutching his heart. "That was only once, but yes, we'd all fall into oblivion without Hannah. My bigger point, and what I'm asking, though, is what talent might you have to offer?"
Outside of wrangling fourth graders, the only thing Dani's ever managed to accomplish is making coffee with just a pan, tap water, and near expired k-cups after her Keurig broke, so. "I'm really great at making coffee," she says, hopeful.
"You had me at I'm really great," Owen smiles, "the coffee is a bonus. I'll show you to your room."
