Summary
Robin has a moment of confusion when she thinks she might have forgotten that it’s Halloween before she realises that the person standing before her —with eyes that look like all the graves have opened — is, in fact, Nancy Wheeler.
“Good lord Nancy,” she says without thinking, “you look terrible!”
“Hello Robin,” says Nancy, as though Robin is the last person in the whole world she wants to see.
—With her freshly minted double-first in modern languages from Oxford, Robin Buckley has her own plans for how she’s going to serve her country in wartime and none of them involve rotting in the rural backwater that is Hawkins-on-Lea.
These plans are scuppered when her very best friend Steve Harrington does something stupid and enlists, leaving her in charge of his farm. It’s all going about as well as can be expected when Nancy Wheeler turns up on the doorstep in the middle of the night, fresh from the fight: a little battered, a little broken and needing some help to put herself back together.
OR
The One Where Nancy and Robin Settle Down and Raise a Family Without Realising That's What They're Doing.

Summary
Vi rolled her eyes slightly, shrugging and still refusing to meet her sister’s gaze. “Right. So you find me a date that doesn’t know what I look like, I go out with her looking… less hot, and then if she sticks around that proves she likes me for my great personality.”
With a slightly screwed up expression that meant she was about to argue back, Caitlyn sat back in her seat and crossed her arms again, giving a little shrug.
“Fine. I’ll give it a shot. You set me up with a woman who doesn’t know who I am, and I’ll give it a fair try. See if my horrid personality doesn’t scare her away.”
Believing they keep attracting shallow dates, Vi and Caitlyn separately agree to go ‘undercover’ for their next one, hiding parts of themselves. When they’re unknowingly set up with each other, they both struggle between wanting to being authentic and wanting to stubbornly prove a point, as they’re forced to rely on their personalities to make the relationship work.
A romcom loosely inspired by ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’

Summary
Claudine in person was an entirely different sight from her portrait; she absolutely radiated light like a summer sun with her smile, and her outfit — Maya had to remember to breathe — an all too revealing white lace shawl around her shoulders, accompanied by just as white lingerie, a bustier with intricate patterns of roses that gave a generous view of cleavage, and a matching garter belt and underwear that held up thigh high stockings.
Maya went full stupid in that second. “Oh,” was what she said.

Summary
Neighbours AU.
Vi gets a new neighbour—a rich English woman with a stick up her ass who seems determined to make her life a living hell.
Vi makes it her mission to get Caitlyn to move back out as quickly as she moved in. Only, she’s hot. Really hot. And Vi kind of likes it when they fight.
Thin walls soon reveal that there’s more to Caitlyn than meets the eye and Vi’s initial irritation turns to curiosity, then something a lot harder to ignore.
To complicate matters and her feelings further, Caitlyn's getting married.

Summary
“Cait,” Vi said. She swallowed.
Caitlyn took a second to answer; her gaze flickered up to Vi’s, so bright, so blue. “Yes?”
“What are we, Cait?”
