Summary:

“You don’t have to protect me,” she says. “Not anymore. I’m more powerful than I’ve ever been. So powerful that it feels like it’s… eating me from the inside out, really.” Her free hand clenches and unclenches. “And you’re the one in the infirmary right now.” “Well, I don’t care how powerful you are,” Bow replies. “That’s always going to be my instinct." or, Bow continues to rest after his encounter with the Pulse bot, and Glimmer comes to a crossroads.

Love Fangs by Hardak

In the small town of BrightMoon, Detective Adora investigates a series of brutal murders marked by bite marks and drained bodies, raising fears of a vampire lurking in the shadows. As she uncovers the chilling connections to the town’s dark past, they learn this may not be the evil cult they once believed it may be. Adora and her friends must confront the vampire before it claims more victims. (And try her hardest not to fall in love.)

That Woman

James_Wynter

Glimmer has been in love with Bow for a long time. Since kindergarten they had been inseparable, proceeding up until college.

Bow is one of the most successful cherubs in the ethereal plane. A cherub of love with the incredible gift to see the ties between souls is bound to be successful, of course, but that fact has never tempered Bow's love for his work.

His newest assignment is proving tricky, however. He's never failed before! And she's much too good not to have some sort of match in the world.

And Glimmer? She just wants to know how that handsome guy manages to keep disappearing just when she catches sight of him.

Bow's the cheerful morning DJ. Glimmer is NOT a morning person.

Your Eyes

"Bow?" "What?" Bow snapped, harsher than he meant to, especially since it was only Adora, pretty much the only person in the rebellion he wasn't annoyed with right now. He rubbed his face, trying to remember he was supposed to be the friendship guy. "Sorry. Just... lot going on." Adora nodded, but the look on her face said she was about to drop more onto the pile. "While you were working on the ship, we answered a distress call from a group that was hiding out near Bright Moon. And we got them here safely, they're settling in but there was this kid and... well, I think you better come see." "I'm not the only one here who's good with kids, you know." He tried to sound teasing, but knew his frustration came through. Under normal conditions, he loved kids but right now he felt about half a second from exploding and did not have it in him to be Mr. Cheerful. "I know." Adora looked bone tired but also shaken in a way that surprised him. "But this kid... The stuff she said when they brought her in, the questions she asked... I mean, maybe I'm just overtired. It's impossible, right? But, Bow... she looks just like you."

for the @glimbowweek prompt Surprise!

(When I talked about this idea on Tumblr last year people were very excited about it, but I’m not going to remind you which idea it is until the end of the fic because of spoilers.)

[glimbow-fics]

The sun is setting. The clouds are the very same pink color as the cotton candy Bow had brought her earlier and how unfair, him doing something so sweet, so romantic, as to bring her the sky when he has no idea what he’s doing to her. A flush creeps down her cheeks and she’s so glad she’s alone because if Catra or Adora saw this, she would never live it down. Glimmer breathes, watching the cotton candy clouds and the orange sky behind them, the air getting colder, helping her with getting a cooler head. She likes Bow. But is she sure enough to do something about it? She’d love to just barge over right now and tell him, but… She’s been learning to think things through better lately. Her impulsivity is all fine on its own, but a nation shouldn’t have to bear the consequences of her sudden decisions and neither should a relationship. She swallows. Glimmer tips her head back, laying down and closing her eyes, letting her legs dangle off the edge of the roof as she tries to imagine kissing Bow. The idea is nice, getting that close to him, but she already does that regularly, and cuddling him is amazing, but the part where their lips touch - that’s a problem.

Now the rebellion's on the run from Prime's killer queen and nowhere on Etheria is safe. This is Sparkles with the safeties off and Prime at the wheel.

Posting this new multi-chapter AU as part of the @wipbigbang (which by lucky chance lined up with Glimbow Week this year!) and I have amazing art from my artist partner to share with you along with a later chapter but, in the meantime, here's a little thing I drew in early Dec 2023 which is actually from the last chapter but it's fine bc I was going to draw something new for that chap anyway.

It's Only Polite

Glimmer and her friends meet some gorgeous mermaids and discover that merfolk have some... unusual etiquette customs when it comes to gender.

Yeah, it's based on that classic Tumblr post.
