    Summary

    “Has anyone ever told you how drop dead gorgeous your eyes are?”

    “Shelby told me last week.”

    “Rilke, let me into the Restricted Section.”

    “Jadmani. No.”

     

    OR

     

    Fatin needs into the Restricted Section and Leah takes her job as library assistant very seriously.

    Summary

    The plate of risotto rests on the table between them, perfect except for one missing spoonful. Leah’s still looking at her, waiting for the verdict; Fatin suddenly, overwhelmingly doesn’t know how to do this.

    It’s incredible, she wants to say. You’re incredible. You, you, you. I’ve been all around the culinary world, been Michelin fucking starred, and I’ve never met a better sous than the one sitting across from me right now. Sometimes I think a meal prepared by your hands is the only thing that’s ever cured my hunger.

    “Yeah,” she says finally. “That’s fire, chef.”

    Summary

    It’s a Friday evening, her thirty-seven year-old boyfriend dumped her a month ago after finding out her real age (seventeen), and she’s drunk off her ass at Matt Garson’s annual spring break party with the rest of their pretentious, elite arts academy student body. And maybe she'd bet a hundred bucks - against the fuckboys of the water polo team, or maybe one of them's a nepo baby, whatever - on being the one to pull Fatin Jadmani that night.

    It's not the worst idea she's ever had, but it definitely might come close.

    Summary

    At the mention of Asami, Korra perks up. “How is she?”

    Tenzin glances at her with a secretive smile.

    “I’m under strict orders to not answer that question. However, I wasn’t told I couldn’t tell you she asked the same.”

    “We’re literally on the same island,” Korra says, exasperated, even though the argument is old by now and clearly useless. “I don’t understand why we can’t see each other until tomorrow.”

     

    (Or: it's the day before Korra and Asami's wedding and they're not allowed to see each other. They agreed to it. It's only a few hours, they can make it, right?)

    Summary

    Kissing Fatin is like a sedative; not in the way where someone’s forcibly injecting some cocktail directly into her bloodstream, but like something that sinks into her gums, makes all the edges and corners of the world look like around, not through; around, not over. Kissing Fatin is the opposite of smoke and mirrors, the opposite of gunpoint, the opposite of pressing her thumb against the sharp side of a knife just to see if it’ll cut.

    Kissing Fatin makes every moment after something to look forward to. It’s so simple, so miniscule, so inconsequential: Life can be good again, if she lets it.
