    Summary

    Dana thinks all three of her girls are beautiful, in their own wonderful ways. They were adorable little girls and they've grown into gorgeous women. She's got some pretty damn good genetics to hand out, thank you very much: the three sets of proof are right there. Her oldest Sophie has darker blonde hair than her mother and it has so many gorgeous shades of honey and gold threaded through. Her middle, Caroline (though she became Carrie in college), has Benji's deep blue eyes and Dana's heart-shaped face and it makes her look like a freaking cherub in all her baby pictures. All of her daughters are beautiful and Dana would never rank them against each other, in her love or her affection or her esteem.

    But in terms of individual traits, she thinks the one she likes the most is the one she's never going to acknowledge out loud. That no one ever acknowledges out loud.

    She loves her youngest daughter's nose.

    Dana loves Rosemary's long, sharp, aquiline nose that looks not quite like hers or Benji's.

    Summary

    When the Captain bowed it was by law alone. It was simply a to do, a reverence between Gods and men and Jaheira of Tethyr: the old druid in between. She could see the hard-cut cleverness in the sailor's eyes the moment she stood and shook the salt from her hair. She meant no deference. Tacit and cunning, this Minthara only knelt so she might slice at an enemy’s heel.

    So as she bowed, Jaheira plucked herbs from the hearth. The flowers felt like velvet in her palms and fell like snow into her wine.

    Because it had not been so long since she played these games of Gods and men.

    Jaheira and Minthara, on the island on Tethyr. A loose Odyssey-inspired tale with a sapphic twist.

    Not a man at all. Some wind-whipped force of storms had stepped foot on her beach. Jaheira watched from the keyhole of her cottage as the Captain looked at her island like she could wrest the peaks from their mountains and pin them into submission. Such mortality in her. One who spit at the thought of death.

    One like herself, once.

    “You’re beautiful,” he tells her, and she rolls her eyes fondly.

    “Sap.”

    “I am an earnest man, Karlach,” he says, placing a hand over his own chest.

    “You’re a sap, is what you are.”

    "Give yourself to me,” she hissed, “I will render your bed our loving abattoir.”
