“–But then it’s like, ‘Whoa, this is hot,’ Eleanor continues, a little unsteadily in the face of how Chidi’s staring at her, “–and we start making out…” Eleanor trails off, because now Chidi’s mouth has fallen open a little and it looks, he looks–
“Whatever, fine, let’s just do it,” Eleanor says, giving in to the inevitable, and Chidi blurts out, “Eleanor, what–” except that Eleanor is going for it, she’s rising up and catching Chidi’s soft mouth with hers, her hands landing on Chidi’s chest as they stumble back against the wall.
Adult, canon-compliant. This is utterly perfect and had me smiling from start to finish. Eleanor and Chidi are just so very in-character, I could see it all playing out like an episode. A rather sexy episode. 🙂
Anne had always thought she was good friends with the sun. She had not expected the strong urge to burrow beneath the covers when she’d opened her eyes and found the light filling the room, cheerful, brilliant, unequivocal day, the first full day of being Anne Blythe that she had longed for these past years. Why did the rumpled bed, the pale shadows made by the linens, the real darkness promised by the underside of the down pillows, all beckon so?
Mature, post-wedding. This is such a lovely slice of Anne’s first morning as a wife, contemplating all that’s happened the night before…
“Sorry it’s small,” Mun tells her, depositing his small travel bag on the floor by the front door. Sun keeps hold of her own; she does not leave bags by the door, but this is not her apartment. Though her name is cleared, her apartment is no longer hers, and she hasn’t allowed herself to begin thinking of how, or if, she will find a new one. “And—not very clean.”
She simply looks at him for a moment. “I’ve been to prison,” she says finally. “It was smaller and dirtier.”
He grins, unfailingly charmed. She is not used to being so funny. “That’s right,” he says, reaching out and taking her bag from her, placing it next to his own. “I keep forgetting that you’re a hardened criminal, Ms. Bak. And a professional actor, and a gangster, and a DJ, too.”
Adult, mild D/s, spoilers for the finale. Set before the wedding, this is absolutely perfect, as well as seriously hot.
