Taking A Dip - Abi Borin/Ziva David

 A/N: Prompt 1/12 for @storiesofsvu 's birthday bingo.

It comes naturally, at first, Ziva considers bringing Abi to the swimming pool specifically to get space away from other people. She’s had her own pool for a while since taking over her family’s home but she’s only really used it once, when the weather was warm enough. She knows, in time, she’ll have to face up to her past, but for now she wants to focus on her future.    It’s only later, as she sits by the pool with Abi that she finds peace. Abi’s gentle teasing opens her up to relaxation and comfort, the two finding a new kind of peace and understanding with one another.

Calex Kid OneShots 5/6

Adeline Cabot-Novak

The Marine

Adeline had been sent to DC training groups of soldiers, since returning from Iraq 9 months ago, her superiors felt it necessary that they give her time of the constant sandy hell holes she’d been going between for the past 8 years of her service.

They’d only just recovered from a joint training weekend with the Navy when Adeline saw a familiar figure in the distance. “Corporal, can you take the them, I’ll be back.”

The man nodded, as Adeline made her way over to the approaching group of people, “Special Agent Abigail Borin.” The agent smiled at her niece the marine stood taunt,

“Sargent Adeline Novak.” Until the tense atmosphere dissolved with a laugh and the pair embraced,

“Wait you two know each other?” Abi turned to the team of NCIS Agents with a small grin,

“Sargent Novak here is my niece. Ads meets NCIS Special Agents Gibbs, DiNozzo, McGee and David, we’re here to ask about Lance Corporal Bennett, we’ve been told you knew each other?”

Adeline nodded her expression cool, “We were aquatinted but that’s where our interactions ended, Lance Corporal Bennett wasn’t exactly welcoming toward female soldier, especially those who outranked him, why do you ask?”

Abi’s eyes grazed the floor with a small grimace, “He was murdered they found him in the water just off the pier, CGIS and NCIS, are working together to catch his killer.”

Adeline nodded although Abi noticed the dissociated expression she harboured, “Theres a few people you can talk to that he was close with, but if you wanna find his killer, I’d suggest pulling his file, last I checked there’s a number of complaints against him.”

Abi nodded and that was what Adeline had assumed would be the end of their interaction until she and her Aunt got together to go for lunch or dinner, as they often did when either had a spare few hours.

“Sargent Novak, you’re being temporarily assigned to work with NCIS until they find Lance Corporal Bennetts killer, you’ll report to Special Agent Gibbs immediately.” Adeline nodded like the good soldier she was although she couldn’t help the growing anger in the pit of her stomach.

Walking into the NCIS office Adeline found Special Agent DiNozzo combing through her military personnel file, although there wasn’t much of it considering most of the file was redacted.

“Sargent Adeline Novak, been in 6 years, had more medals than you can count of two hands. Did you know that Agent Borin had a sister, and a twin sister at that.” Adeline smirked Agents David and McGee also crowding the screen,

“Who is happily married to my mother, you wanna find a date DiNozzo, I’d keep out of my family tree considering most of my siblings are either married, engaged or not interested in men, unless you want to try my younger brother Will.” The three all jumped, DiNozzo discreetly turning off the screen returning its contents to that of the case at hand.

“Sargent Novak, it’s a pleasure.” The soldier hummed, eyes glazing over the office until she saw her Aunt walking toward them,

“Ads what are you doing here?” The marine smiled with a light shrug,

“Temporary reassignment, Gibbs requested my help.” Abi nodded the pair divulging into quiet conversation until Tony turned his attention to the pair,

“So Borin, you, me dinner tonight?” Adeline didn’t even give her aunt an opportunity to respond when Tony found himself flat on his ass, groaning. A dime spinning next to him, Ziva gazed at Adeline with a reserved adoration, she’d put Tony on his ass with nothing but a dime found in her pocket, hitting his temple to render him on his ass, eating carpet.

“Not happening DiNozzo, family rules state you need family pro mission and that my friend is something you certainly don’t have.” Abi flicked her ear although she herself was smirking,

“Ads play nice.” The soldier nodded her attention returning to the case files in her hand,

“Yes ma’am.”

They’d located a suspect briskly, an ex-arsonist and recreational bomb maker who seemed to think lightly of the experience. Abi had already been removed as per Gibbs request the last time all too fresh in his memory, Adeline however had stayed.

Gibbs hadn’t known that Adeline was there on that boat, that the reason she wore long sleeves even in warm weather was because underneath her skin still retained horrific memories of the experience.

“I never understood what the big deal was, it was a fun we were kids just messing around.” Adeline scoffed,

“So the kid that died because of a bomb you set off he was having fun was he?” The man shrugged eyes glazing the table,

“That boy was five years old and he died because a piece of the bomb you set off pierced his heart, you killed him and that was just fun?!” Her voice was raised, her cheeks a dark crimson as she restrained herself from launching toward the man and causing some serious damage.

“It was a lifetime ago, I served my time! I joined the Navy I made up for what I did!” Adeline’s jaw clenched as she pulled out a lighter from her pocket and locked the door to the interrogation room.

“You know hand sanitiser contains ethanol, sometimes upwards of 80% of the substance is pure ethanol.” She revealed a small bottle from one of her many pocket a malicious smirk dancing on her lips.

She could hear the banging on the door but that didn’t dissuade her, “And ethanol well I don’t know if you know this but it’s very flammable, it glows a light blue colour, very pretty.”

Unscrewing the lid of the hand sanities she poured the contents of the bottle onto his lap, the lighter lid being flicked backwards with a satisfying echo from the metal.

“Tell me the name of the soldier that killed Lance Corporal Bennett, or you’ll be losing something I think you’d much rather keep.” Terrified the man spate out a name and Adeline shrugged putting the lighter away and opening the door.

“What the hell Novak.” The Sargent glared at Gibbs,

“I got you a name.”

When the case was over Adeline was standing in front of the mirror of the gym, her jacket lay on the counter. Her entire right side had a combination of 2nd and 3rd degree burns, the scar tissue still prominent against her tanned skin.

“Addy?” Adeline shook from her memory the flashbacks draining the cloud from her face.

“Hey Aunt Abs, what can I do from you?” Abi couldn’t speak she simply stared at the scars, her fingers lightly tracing her shoulder, down to her forearm.

“Abi-“ The former marine shook her head, but she remained silent, cautious, she’d seen them once when they’d first been inflicted but Adeline had done her best to conceal them from everyone since.

Adeline noticed her shock and caution shrugging off her loose tee, revealing the entirety of her abdomen and chest, pressing her Aunt’s hand against the rough skin.

“Its okay, they don’t hurt much anymore, I’m okay.” Abi nodded her hand trailing upwards to her neck and cheek before she finally pulled her niece into her arms.

“I love you so much Adeline Cabot-Novak.” Adeline nodded into Abi’s shoulder,

“I know, I love you too, and I miss her.” The tears glistened in Abi’s eyes,

“I know you do kiddo, I do too.”

Adeline would remain in the Marine’s for another 14 years serving a total of 20 years until she was shot in the line of duty as Gunnery Sargent Adeline Novak, receiving an honourable discharge.

Aged 38 she turned to her Aunt with a charming smile, and soon enough she found herself an Agent at CGIS the right hand of Special Agent Abigail Borin.

“Come on Kid, we’ve got a case.” Adeline chuckled with a curt nod,

“I’m 38 years old and you’re still calling me kid.”

“Because you’re still my baby Buck.”

“I hate that nickname.”

“I know you do Buck.”

I Thought I Hated You- Chapter 3

Warning: smut, this chapter is really long but I wanted to fit it all into this one without having to split it up.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

You and Abigail had been on a few dates since your incident at the offices. You learnt that she was more than just the annoying, strict agent that you had worked with, she was kind, considerate and very loving.

You had developed feelings for Abigail, and you were inclined with the idea of starting a relationship with the woman. Both of you had carried on dating, however, the topic of age was still holding you back from progressing with your relationship.

Abigail was 48 and you were still only 27, but you both really liked each other and you were insistent on being with this beautiful woman.

You invited Borin over to your apartment tonight due to the cold, bitter wind outside. You were finishing fastening your belt buckle as three knocks rung though from the entrance.

You opened the door to find Abi stood there, a bottle of wine and a bag of takeout, her face holding a giddy grin.

"Hey, you." You leaned forward to kiss her cheek and whilst you ushered her inside.

She set the food and drink down on thr coffee table beofre sliding off her jacket, revealing her dress that stopped half way up her thigh, the neckline dipping so low that it left little to your imagination. As you checked her oit, you felt your mouth go dry.

You both took your seats on the sofa, focussing on the Chinese food for the time being, the only sounds breaking the silence were the TV and the minimal chat that you both indulged in.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

You both finished your food and settled the plates to the side out of your way.

You could feel Abigail's eyes burning into the side of your face, your body squirming under her intense gaze.

"Y/N. I need to ask you." She finally broke the silence. "How are you still single?"

She slid closer to you as she laid her head on your shoulder. You smiled down at her, chuckling to yourself.

"Just waiting for the right one."

You both returned your focus to the movie that was playing on Netflix when a very intense sex scene appeared on her screen, making you squeeze your legs together.

Abigail placed her hand just above your knee, her fingers gently tracing patterns higher and higher up your legs until she was at the top of your thighs. Her legs straddled yours as she set herself onto your lap, her black dress riding up, bunching around her waist.

Her lips captured yours, sucking and biting at them, making you gasp at the feeling. Your hands reached around to grab at her ass, pulling her body flush against your chest. Your hips ground down against yours, the buckle of your belt pushing against her sensitive clit.

Your hands settled under her thighs, lifting her from the sofa and carrying her towards your bedroom. Once you got into your room, you settled Abi down on your bed, her breathing rapid with excitement.

She reached forward to unbutton your shirt, sliding it off your frame before reaching for the zipper on her dress. She pulled the dress down her body until it pooled at her ankles. She stepped out of it as your hands undid the clasp of her bra, allowing her boobs to be freed from the restraint. You looked her up and down, taking in her almost naked body, eyes lingering on every single part of her. She was so beautiful.

"Wow." You breathed, pushing her back until her knees hit the bottom of your bed.

She propped herself against the pillows at the top of the bed just as you began to crawl towards her, your kips meeting in a passionate embrace. You sat back on your heels, and she reached her hands out, undoing the buckle of your belt, placing it on your bedside table.

You slid your bra down your arms as you were ushered out of your trousers. Both of you were almost completely bare before each other.

You kissed and nipped your way down her body, your lips encasing her perky boobs, sucking on her rosy nipples. You palmed at her chest as you continued your assault until you were met with the hem of her lace panties.

You look up the gauge her reaction and the look of pure lust and adoration were all the consent you needed before you slipped her underwear down her long, pale legs, throwing them somewhere behind you.

You spread her legs wide, taking notice of her glistening centre.

"You're already so wet. Is this all for me?" You smirked down at her as your fingers glided through her folds.

"Y-Yeah, Y/N..." She whimpered as her hand came up to cover her mouth.

"No! Don't do that." You batted her hands away, but then you had an idea. You reached Iver to your bedside table to retrieve your belt, looping her wrists with it as you fastened it to the headboard of your bed.

"Is this okay?" You asked slightly tugging on the belt.

"Yes..." She moaned out, her breath coming out in fast pants.

You lowered your face in between her legs, her pussy wet and ready for you. You licked a strike up from her entrance to her clit, spreading her wetness around. You plunged your tongue into her, her moans echoing off the walls of your room.

"Ohh my goddd, that feels so good."

Your tongue left her hole to regain its focus on her clit, flicking it with the tip of your tongue. Abigail squirmed underneath you already close by pleasure that she had been receiving. You stretched her out with two fingers, searching for that one spot what would make her cave and make her legs tremble and shake.

You assumed you found that spot when her eyes rolled to the back of her head, her back arching off the bed, her abs tensing and untensing as her orgasm came washing over her.

She moaned, so loud you were sure you'd be getting a noise complaint, as you felt her walls flutter and clamp around your fingers as they carried on with their brutal pace in and out her, curling into her g-spot.

You watched as she rode out her high, your fingers slowing down before coming to a halt inside of her. You removed your fingers and placed them at her lips, watching in awe as she sucked herself off your fingers.

"Holy shit, Y/N. That was so hot."

You chuckled as you threw the duvet over her body. You watched over to your dresser, pulling out two pairs of pyjamas and throwing one to Abi.

"What about you?" She questioned, her hazel eyes full of love and sincerity.

"This was about you, I'm happy with that." You admitted as you put on your sleep clothes.

You get into bed beside her, her head taking rest on your clothed chest, whilst your arms pulled her close.

You heard her breathing even before long, smiling down at the woman in your arms.

"I...I think I might love you, Abs." You admitted as you felt your eyes fighting to stay open.

Abigail smiled to herself at your confession whispering those three little words back to your sleep filled body.

[storiesofsvu]

okay.... so obvi i am a multi fandom writer, and there are other fandoms i feel like i'd like to write for, ones that have been asked if i would before

and i've been thinking about why i struggle with some shows, why for example: i absolutely adore Charlotte King (private practice) and would also like her to rail me into next month. However i just struggle coming up with ideas. Sure, if i get req's for prompts that can work, but i still struggle.

and i think i'm realizing now that shows like Greys, PP, they show us so much of the characters personal lives, their partners, kids, families, etc. And while that can be so much fun to work with, and SOMETIMES can spark thoughts and fic ideas, its more rare.

whereas shows like SVU, Criminal Minds, we don't get as much into their backstories, their home lives, most of them aren't in long term relationships. They leave all these gaps in canon that let us fill everything up with our head canons and thoughts and ideas. I think it's also why I love writing for characters like Rita, who we know basically nothing about, we have to pull from simply the vibes, chemistry with other characters, how they present themselves. or Abi Borin being the only NCIS i write for (lbh, it was cause of diane) but also i get more leeway to work with her because we know a little less about her. And that's not because I want the freedom to think/say whatever i want about a character, most of the hc's i have are ones that we all agree on kinda thing.

anyways i dunno what the point of this was, but this may be one of the reasons you're not seeing as much of specific requests getting accepted or written or whatever. I absolutely adore PP and Greys but just.... need to separate canon for a bit? i dunno. Or thoughts on longer fics? i do have an amelia series idea though... so... we're gettin' there! LOL

[storiesofsvu2-0]

I see requests are open. Any chance of some kind of cute Jenny/Abby NCIS ficlet? Something cute and fluffy maybe? Thanks!

Gonna have to pass, the only NCIS i write for is Abi Borin. Sorry

[ocmerunaway]

Erica Borin hates working under her sister Abi, so when the chance comes to work with NCIS, she jumps at it, she just doesn’t expect to be replacing Nick Torres when he goes undercover, finding herself working closely undercover with Alex Quinn.... Can she really trust her heart? Does she dare take a risk?

Competition (Abigail Borin x Reader)

Abigail knew as soon as she mentioned the flirtatious NCIS agents that she was working alongside, she had made a mistake. She could see the jealousy flare up behind your normally soft eyes. You knew that you had nothing to worry about, if you did, the two of you wouldn’t be married. Still, you that didn’t mean that you wouldn’t drop by the NCIS office to drop off some lunch for your wife. 

“Can I help you?” Your head turned towards the fairly soft spoken voice. You smiled politely at the guy who looked maybe a year or two older than you. There was an older guy sitting at his desk and a woman, both agents staring in your direction. 

“Is Abi here?” you asked and they all shared a look. “Agent Borin?” 

“Agent Borin is in interrogation, she should be out soon,” the man from before told you. The older guy sat forward in his seat, obviously checking you out. Technically, that was the point of getting a little dolled up. You wanted to show yourself off for Abigail so that they all knew she had someone very special to come home to. 

“Oh, is it okay if I wait here for her? It was sort of a hassle getting in here.” You batted your eyelashes and one of the guys pulled a chair over for you to sit in. “I’m Y/n.” 

“Tony DiNozzo, that’s McGee over there, and uh, Ziva,” Tony introduced himself. You gave him an unimpressed look and then glanced over towards Ziva and offered her a smile. It was flirtier than the one you’d given McGee when you walked in. 

“Tony, I don’t think she’s interested,” Ziva told the man. He ignored her though and tried a couple of lines on you. You heard two sets of footsteps, one definitely Abi’s and one belonging to someone else. Just as Tony was about to say something else to you, Abi came up behind him and tugged him away from you. 

“Y/n, what are you doing here?” Abi asked you. You stood up from the chair and wrapped your arms around her neck, not letting go until she kissed your cheek. “I thought you were showing today.” 

“I did this morning, and got out around lunch. I figured that you hadn’t eaten yet, so I thought I’d come by and invite you out to lunch. That’s okay, right honey?” you explained. Abi ducked her head down a bit as she smiled at the fact that you’d gone well out of your way to come and do something as small as get lunch with her. 

“Gibbs, you don’t mind if I duck out for an hour or so, do you?” Abi asked. Technically, she was her own boss, but you knew how important communication was when different agencies were working in tandem. 

“Go right ahead. I’ll call you if something comes up,” Gibbs told her. Abi smiled, grabbed her jacket from off of the back of a chair, and then escorted you out of the building. You had your arm linked with hers all the way to your car. 

“That could have been a phone call,” Abi said as she opened the passenger’s side door for you. You placed your keys in her hand and sat down as she shut the door. 

“It could have, but I wanted to see my competition,” you said sweetly. Abi rolled her eyes, not believing there was any contest when it came to who got her affection. She loved you and only you, there wasn’t going to be another person in her life she could ever love in the same way again. “McGee seems sweet and Tony is an ass.” 

“You think Ziva’s hot, don’t you?” Abi asked and you bit your lip as you looked away to avoid answering. Abi scoffed and nudged your shoulder. “Come on, don’t get bashful.” 

“I mean, yeah, she is. She knows we’re married right?” you asked and Abi nodded. “Good, then I have nothing to worry about.” 

“Not that you did in the first place,” Abi said as she turned towards your favorite restaurant in the area.

A Pleasurable Spanking? - Abi Borin/Penny Blake

A/N: A second fic for @storiesofsvu 's birthday bingo. Second GIF made for me by @whoreofthecottage

Impact play had always been something that faintly confused Abi Borin, but the more she watched Penelope Blake dealing with the aftermath of it, the more she understood what it was that made people so interested in it. All she needed now was the confidence to ask... which she didn’t have.     In the end it’s Penelope that handles the subject, asking if she’s actually interested in impact play or not, smiling just a little when Abi shakes her head, admitting she may be in time, just not yet. They would face the future when it happened. For now, knowing that they could if they wanted to was enough.

Fireworks In The Sky And You In My Arms - Abi Borin/Hollis Mann

A/N: Another fic for @storiesofsvu 's Bday bingo. I'm back.

Neither Hollis or Abi would ever admit what the fireworks meant to them, they had been together, quietly, for years, both working seperately and only coming together when they were home alone.     Now, watching the New Years fireworks, Abi finds peace as she curls closer to Hollis, watching her face in the flickering light. Both women have been through a lot, of course, but now, here, peace is all they feel. Life has settled down for them both and, without Gibbs pushing into their world, they find it easier to rest and relax. Home is a feeling and home is what they find with one another.

Winter Walks And Icy Incidents - Hollis Mann/Abigail Borin

A/N: Day 11 for @slumberpartybingo 's Advent fics.

“Incoming…” The yelp is rewarded by warm arms looping around her waist, pulling her upright when she slips a little more on attempting to stop. Hollis’ smile is soft as she tucks hair from the other woman’s eyes. “You good?” “Yeah I just…. Ice…” Abigail sighs. “Ice and me… don’t get on.” “I can tell. Hollis… Hollis Mann.” “Abigail… Abi… Abi Borin.” “Well, it’s nice to meet you Abi.” A pause then. “Mind if I walk with you?” A small laugh, a shake of her head and Abi’s smile is soft. “I’d like that actually, maybe you can spare me breaking an ankle.” Winter walks had long been part of both women’s lives but this, here and now, was new and better.

[baubeautyandthegeek]

Not Liquid Or Gas - Abi Borin/Jenny Shepard

A/N: Part 2/6 for the Alts from @fluffbruary.

“He’s solid…” “So I see.” Abi’s smile is soft, her laugh softer still. She’s used to this, to Tony, but Jenny’s quiet protest is strangely charming. The woman may not be the biggest fan of Tony all the time but she will always back him up. “He’s a flirt.” “Always was.” Jenny admits, barely hiding her smile when Abi glances at her. “Not my type… but he tried.” “So…. What is your type?” “Coast Guards.” Jenny’s reply is soft and her smirk is clear when Abi chokes just slightly on her coffee. “Careful.” “I could say the same.” Abi laughs, risking a slight brush of hands before making for the door. Solid work would mean she was needed, sooner rather than later.

[baubeautyandthegeek]

Slightly Stung - Ziva David/Abi Borin

A/N: Part 1/6 for the alts from @fluffbruary.

“Jellyfish? Again?” Ziva sounds faintly amused and Abi sighs and shrugs, admitting the truth. She’d been embarrassed the first time she was hit with a jellyfish sting, but now she admits it easily. Ziva never seems to want to tease her, simply amused enough to find it funny. They are alone, of course, Abi’s feet sunk into a mix of saltwater and ice, attempting to ease the sting. It takes time, too much time, but eventually she is able to handle it. Days off, she thinks now, are not being spent at the beach ever again. “It happens… way too often.”

[baubeautyandthegeek]

Meaningful - Alex Blake/Abigail Borin

A/N: Day 5, Decorations, for @storiesofsvu 's Holiday Bingo.

Each decoration had it’s place, Abi knows that even as she moves to adjust an ornament where it had come close to falling from the ceiling, her smile soft at the sound of Alex humming Christmas songs as she cooked. It might be a weird arrangement, she’s always been a little unsure of herself, but it works. Abi’s decorations hang on a separate tree, one covered with meaningful decorations, made by her fiancée or friends. Alex’s own is covered with her son’s gifts, small trinkets that mean everything. The two had adapted to one another easily, surprised by how easy the whole thing felt.

[baubeautyandthegeek]

Private Time Together - Abi Borin/Alex Blake

A/N: A new fic for @storiesofsvu2-0​ ‘s Birthday Bingo.

A camping trip had been suggested, Blake’s team mixing with Borin’s, but neither of them really liked that idea too much, so they had chosen a different trip, Borin coming away to Blake’s private cabin, hiding away with her. Borin had escaped work just in time, locked away in private with Blake in her cabin, her smile soft as she moves into the other woman’s arms. Alex Blake is many things, Agent, Linguist, Professor, Mom, but to Abigail ‘Abi’ Borin? To Abi she’s simply the woman she loves. Later, Alex curled safely against her side, Abi will laugh as Alex admits she’s considering leaving the BAU, that she’s considering just becoming a professor. They both know Abi’s considered the same several times, her sigh soft as she runs soft fingers down Alex’s arm. “Abi…” “You’d never quit Alex, not with them.” “How do you know?” “The girl… JJ? You want her to be okay, you’d never just leave her.” “She’d be fine…” “You’d still never give it up. Not without reason.” “I have a reason…” “Spencer?” “Yeah. He’s…” “A lot like Ethan. You said.” “I can’t afford to be distracted, not in the field. Not like that.” “He distracts you?” “Yeah.” Alex sighs. “If he got hurt…” “I know.” Abi murmurs and Alex sighs, hiding herself in Abi’s arms a little longer. “For now, relax… when you go back… see what happens. Worst comes to the worst? Run. To me if you have to.” The memory of that trip will come back to Alex when she does see Spencer hurt, the boy shoving her to safety even as he’s harmed and she runs. She runs to Abi, to here, the cabin, Abi’s pace quick as she slips into the room and locks the door, crossing to Alex and dropping to her knees, resting her hands over Alex’s wrists. “Hey…” “Abi…” It's a breath, almost a cry, then she’s in her arms, Abi moving quickly to pull her closer, stroking soft fingers through Alex’s hair as she cries into her shoulder, sheltered and safe. It’s a second cabin trip but this time it’s the most important trip either will make. “Abi…” “Shh, I’m here.” “I left. I… I ran.” “I know, I know Alex, it’s alright.” “I’m losing it…” “No, no you aren’t.” Abi murmurs, pressing soft kisses to Alex’s hairline. “No you aren’t, you just need to take some time, talk about Ethan, make a new choice.” “You… don’t think I…” “I think. Alex. I think sometimes you are way too smart for your own good.” Abi’s sigh is soft. “I think maybe you should come work with CGIS for a while, I can always ask your boss?” “Please.” Alex murmurs. “I feel safer with you.” “Okay. Okay. Next week. We have time.” Later Alex will tell the team she’s left to take up a professorship, teaching only, never once mentioning that she’s moved on with much more of her life. Chosen to start again, bring Abi home when Abi’s own job breaks her, start again. Later she’ll wonder how she got so lucky, but for now all Alex knows is she’s proud to have been Abi’s chosen love, to be her lover even now, when they are both tired and broken and struggling. Together they are stronger.

Time Away - Abi Borin/Holly Snow

A/N: Part 5/5 for @flufftober​ ‘s May Fluff Monthly.

“Interesting use of vacation time��” Holly’s comment is light even as she curls against Abi’s side, watching the woman’s eyes close and smiling softly, leaning to kiss Abi gently but deeply. She’s aware Abi is usually timid and shy but lately Abi’s been far more daring, making a choice to want something. To want her. “Not that I’m complaining.” “Good, because I don’t plan to leave anytime soon.” Abi’s smile is soft and she leans to kiss Holly again, stroking soft fingers over a delicate cheekbone. “I’ve missed you.” “Mmm, I missed you too, Badass Borin.” Holly’s smile is soft and she strokes a soft hand over Abi’s collarbone where her tank top leaves it exposed. “You are so beautiful.” It's rare they get this time together but they always make good use of time together.
