Okay, I’ve started something that I haven’t yet edited it. Lemme know if it’s worth adding to and if so, I’ll smooth out the edges and finish the story on ao3.

—

It’s another stifling August afternoon when Georgia comes through the Blue Farm doors, arms overflowing with flowers.

“Joe!” She calls from over the buzzing and bustling of the midday rush. And he turns away from an elderly couple whose coffees he’s just refilled. “What do ya think?” Georgia asks with a smile, placing them up on the counter, and he moves the plate of grilled cheese there out of the way at the last moment and hands it off to a harried Maxine whose on her phone and already walking away.

“They’re really…really pretty,” stumbles Joe, quickly because while he is immensely confused as to why more than a dozen chrysanthemums are piled up to his elbows, there's something unguarded behind her question. It’s in her smile and eyes. It’s still Georgia, though, she’s brought the sunshine with her.

Georgia’s already behind the counter, nudging his hip playfully with her own as she searches through the recycled bottles underneath the lip of it. Finally she seems satisfied with a glass bottle with geometric patterns that exaggerate and magnify. Georgia fills it with water, fluffs the flowers delicately one more time and twists her mouth. They’re yellow, blue, and red, wrapped in a pink bow. They aren’t dating.

“Georgia…” he says, and she turns away from him, toward the kitchen and grabs two dishes that apparently Padma has been pestering him for awhile about, through the slot.

“Get ‘em while they’re hot!” Georgia calls as she maneuvers over to the far side of the restaurants edge to the Craftons’ table, any vulnerability she’d displayed seconds before, has been shuttered over and replaced with a dazzling smile.

Joe pours the drinks — water, lemonade, coffee — to the patrons at the counter, shifting the flowers and its petals from at least one interested hand.

When Georgia returns, there’s a shift in her shoulders, a turn of her head that relaxes them. She leans on a barstool, and reaches for a napkin the same instant as Joe sees the mustard on her hand and reaches too. He gets there first, has pulled a handful out when her pinky grazes the arch of his hand. “They’ve been idling in my garden, taking their sweet time to bloom.” Georgia is staring hard at the flowers, slipping the remaining napkins in the back pocket of her jeans.

“And they’ve been waitin’ to give you a message.”

He grins, and sets a towel over his shoulder at the Mario reference. “Did they wanna know how the goo tasted here?”

Oh! We are under water, just relax, another flower quote in his brain supplies. When she doesn’t immediately answer, his eyeline moves down from the earnestness of her brow to the slight curve of her belly under her yellow blouse.

“It’s your birthday, Joe. You shouldn’t be working on your birthday.” Georga is eying his every movement carefully, he knows, for any trace of upset. He looks back up and fully into her face for the first time, playful at the corners, but she doesn’t hide the hurt in her eyes. Joe wouldn’t want her to. He can feel what she’s going to say the moment before she does. “ ‘S there a reason you didn’t tell m-”

“No,” Joe says decisively, offering his hand from over the counter. She takes it nearly as quickly, and he breathes fully for the first time in four months. “Or, well yeah but I try not to tell anyone.” His eyes cut around the room, unsure who could even know to have told her. He traces his thumb along her own and she squeezes at his fingers. Her brows are knitted in concern as she waits for him to continue. Voice softer, Joe says, “it’s not a happy day for me.”

I wish there was Joe/Georgia fanfic following season 3. Ugh, I might have to write some.

I have an unhinged take for why Abby and Max should be endgame. (Spoilers for season 3)

Abby and Maxine have been friends since they were little and up until recently Maxine did not always treat Abby the best.

Abby shows major growth this season in that she:

— admits feelings are okay to experience

— recognizes her attraction to women

— seeks out a person, and a woman who so far has displayed that she will be treated well.

— sticks up for herself with her mom

— starts trying in school and improves.

This indicates to me a couple of things. That Maxine has been Abby’s point of reference for a long time. She compares herself to Maxine’s grades, her confidence around her sexuality, her openness to discuss her feelings, etc. Abby also picks a guy who embodies a lot of the ways she isn’t heard by Maxine, but dialed up to 1000. Once Abby moves away from Max in the friend group, she’s able to make some major headway on these parts of herself. I would say it also indicates that this point of reference needed to be broken in its current form (their not ideal friendship) in order to potentially move forward on even ground.

Max meanwhile has relied on Abby in a vulnerable way that she hasn’t been able to (at least since puberty) with Marcus or her parents. This trust and codependence is the major reason Maxine ices out Abby for knowing about Ginny and Marcus. It’s possessiveness, but it’s also that she had unmatched belief in Abby’s trust and loyalty (without doing everything she could do maintain that so that Abby would know she could count on Maxine in turn.)

How Abby was treated by Maxine might be too much of a barrier for them to be as close friends as they were, much less lovers, but I think there’s potential. Because while Abby has been working on herself, Maxine has been working on herself too. She is doing her best not to accuse people of things, to not overpower, berate, and make everything about her. She genuinely is trying to be there for her friends. It’s why I’m hopeful for them.

I also think there’s something critical about Abby not wanting to talk about her romantic life with Maxine especially. She doesn’t include Maxine in the egging, sure, and makes mean little comments throughout S3 about Maxine. But that to me shows Maxine is still very much on her mind. When it comes to romance though, it’s Maxine who she doesn’t want to know. Now this could be because of friend judgment, but Maxine at the end of the day has been very self involved until recently - and Abby is still viewing her that way - which makes me wonder: is it because Abby has feelings for Maxine that she herself doesn’t recognize?

The major reason I think they could be endgame is because of the people who they are becoming. Max wants to hear people. Even as Abby cuts people off for their feelings, especially Maxine, she is getting much better at feeling them and in wanting to feel them. They also have the ability and potential to balance each other emotionally.The next step would be to recognize that each of them has grown and that they can be there for each other. Whether it’s endgame as best friends, or as partners.

Ideally partners tho lesbihonest.

This is the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60651865/chapters/154871080

I was hoping for some feedback on a fic I’ve written that’s Azula/Katara. The first chapter is up and I’m not satisfied with it to be able to move forward…but I can’t figure out exactly what the problem is. It could be just a writer loop thing, but I’m wondering if it’s got something to do with the setting not feeling grounded enough…or worse, something about the character interactions. Would anyone be willing to read some of it and provide constructive feedback? (tw for past sexual assault, none is present or discussed in detail in this fic).

How do I get added to the discord chats?

Is there a bellamione fan week for fanart and fan fiction? I’m new to the fandom.

[constant-eggs]

Thank you! That would be great. I was thinking Easter week or the week after could maybe be cool. Since that’s around the time of their unfortunate meetup in book seven.

It’s that time of year again for my Kara/Lena Christmas oneshot. Set during S3.

Okay, okay it’s back. Eight minutes of agony.

Is AO3 down or is it just me?

[constant-eggs]

NOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh

Is AO3 down or is it just me?

I’m a day late for Azutara week. Oh well, here you go!

[constant-eggs]

I posted part 1 of this fic on AO3.

I’ve been sitting on this Azutara fic I’ve written. Part 1 is done but I’d really appreciate feedback before I go forward…I’m worried it’s missing something character-wise. Are there any takers?

It also features a Zuko + Azula sibling plot.

[constant-eggs]

It takes place three years after the war. Azula is imprisoned and pregnant and Zuko and Katara get involved. Very much an abortion fic and not a pregnancy fic tho, and depicts the after effects of sexual assault and healing from that along with childhood stuff.

Hello! I’m back and appreciate your recommendations for good fan fiction of:

Catra/Adora

Ray/Nora — Legends of Tomorrow

Cat/Kara — Supergirl

Michael Scofield/Sara Tancredi — Prison Break

Azula — Gen or femslash doesn’t matter. I’m just looking for a good character driven story with Azula. It’s fine if other characters are still the main focus as long as Azula has a good story.

Carlos and Lydia — Cable Girls

Bonnie/Damon — Vampire diaries. Alternatively any Bonnie fic that’s in character and in universe where she gets to shine.

Paris/Rory — I’ve read The Best of It, One Fine Day and Boston Marriage. I’m hoping to find a hidden gem that has less kudos.

Regina/Emma — OUAT

Xena/Gabrielle

In universe if possible. Thank you!!
