It’s so clearly evident when you rewatch Goncharov (1973) that the film served as inspiration for Bound (1996). Particularly with regard to the relationship (though it did not play out on screen, the tension was palpable) between Katya & Sofia and how it parallels Corky & Violet’s relationship. Katya and Sofia’s queer coded relationship was foundational to the portrayal of Corky and Violet’s on screen relationship in Bound. It’s truly remarkable to contrast these films and see how much media representation for lesbians improved in 20 years. We also know in a 1996 Variety magazine interview the Wachowski sisters cited the film as a source of inspiration for the screenplay. I would so love to see a Goncharov remake that allowed for Katya & Sofia’s relationship to be given the portrayal it deserves.

Galactica, Chapter 102 (Group Fic) - TheDane/Veronica
A/N: Click here if you’re looking for previous chapters (or here if you’d rather read on AO3). 💫
Previously: Violet was completely thrown for a loop when she and Sutan showed up for drinks and found Bianca and Courtney there. 
This Chapter: Violet and Courtney both confront their partners about honesty, Katya suggests a potential move, Bob and Kade have a date night, and Team Baby celebrates Courtney’s deal. 
***
Panic attacks never got easier, no matter how many times Violet suffered through them. She hated it, hated how scared and helpless they made her feel, hated how sobs wracked her body, how she couldn’t breath, how she couldn’t do anything but wait for it to pass. 
Violet was outside of the bar, knowing that she should be cold, even though she wasn’t, a light layer of snow on the ground, the only idiots dumb enough to be out here with her smokers who thankfully kept their distance. 
She had finally stopped shaking, her throat slowly opening back up, her heart no longer hammering away in her chest. 
She was leaning against the brick wall, the cold seeping in, her arms tightly around her body, sweat on her skin.
She’d fix her makeup and go back in there. She just needed another moment, Sutan somehow still worth pretending everything was fine.
*
“All I’m saying is that there’s no way to prove that I was involved.”
“Oh come on! You were totally there!” Bianca laughed, turning to Courtney to say, “I swear he’s lying.” 
“I’m not lying!” 
Courtney kept the smile on her face while she craned her neck, trying to see if Violet was making her way back. She glanced at her phone, trying to figure out how long it had been. 
“Are you okay, sunshine?” Bianca murmured, a hand squeezing her thigh under the table. She gave her a soft smile, lacing their fingers together. 
“Yeah! I’m fine, sorry. It’s just that Violet’s been gone awhile; maybe I should go check on her?” 
“Uhh, better to just give her some space,” Sutan said, picking up a sweet potato fry. “She gets a bit emotional when her dress is mentioned. I’ve had several sources confirm that it looks fantastic,” he smirked, looking proud as he crossed his arms, “but because of the whole ‘being back in Fame’s office’ thing, she’s struggling.”
Courtney opened her mouth, shocked, then closed it again. 
When she’d seen Violet tonight, it was an oddly exhilarating feeling. It was as if they’d been soldiers together, in a war that ended years ago. At the time, it had been horrible, and even though they didn’t always get along perfectly, they’d survived—that alone was enough to bond them for life, in Courtney’s mind. It wasn't actually that long ago, of course, but in some ways, working for Miss Fame at Galactica had felt like another lifetime. It didn’t occur to her until this very moment that for Violet, the war was very much still going on. 
“She’s…I didn’t know that…” Courtney turned to Bianca, horrified.
“I’m sure it sucks for her,” Bianca said, and by the way she calmly stirred her drink, it seemed clear that this wasn’t breaking news for her. “But Jos said that they hired a new girl, so hopefully she’ll be out soon.” 
“From your mouth to god’s ears,” said Sutan, lifting his glass in a toast just as Violet came back.
“Lovely eyes,” Sutan smiled, Violet giving his shoulder a quick squeeze as she sat down. “Here,” he pushed his plate of fries towards her. “I figured we could share.”
“Thanks.” Violet picked up a fry, but Courtney couldn’t help but notice that she was just breaking it apart, only the smallest nibble reaching her mouth.
“Violet, I-” Courtney began, but then bit her lip, knowing that nothing she could say in this moment would be enough. Besides, Violet didn’t seem to want to hear from her anyway, avoiding her eyes like the plague. 
Courtney sat back in her chair, gripping Bianca’s hand and taking a big gulp of her drink, trying to chase away the bitter taste in her mouth. 
***
“So-” 
Violet looked on as Sutan padded his pockets, the cigarette a stranger had just handed him between his fingers. They were standing outside the bar, waiting for the car. 
“Should we go to mine,” Sutan found his lighter, flicking the top open, “or yours or-“
“Stop talking.” Violet didn’t mean to snap, but she was seconds from boiling over, the anxiety in her chest molten hot, anger barely kept beneath the surface. 
“Excuse me?” Sutan raised an eyebrow, her boyfriend at least blowing the smoke away from her face. 
“I’m angry.”
“I know you don’t love me smoking, but it’s one lousy cigarette-”
“God,” Violet had to physically restrain herself not to roll her eyes, the smoking bad enough on its own since Sutan still insisted that he wasn’t actually a smoker, though he was literally doing it. 
“It’s not about that, it’s about, it’s-” She took a deep breath, swallowing down the urge to run, gathering all of her courage before turning towards Sutan and looking up at him. “Don’t you ever, ever,” Violet pressed a finger against Sutan’s chest, the wool of his jacket under her fingertip, “Ambush me like this again.”
“What? Ambush?”
“Yes, ambush.”
 “This feels like an overreaction-”
“I’m not.” Violet pushed away from Sutan, a moment of insecurity settling heavy in her stomach. She wasn’t overreacting, she wasn’t, even as she had to fight to hold onto her anger. “I’m not overreacting.”
“Violet, I’m just smoking-”
“You didn’t tell me we were meeting anyone,” Violet had spend an entire childhood being told she was dramatic, that she was overreacting, that she was wrong, but this time, she knew she wasn’t, “least of all that we where meeting Bianca Del fucking Rio.”
“Oh.” Sutan paused, the ember of his cigarette glowing in the evening darkness before he flicked the ash. “I didn’t realize it was so important to you. I thought I told you.”
“Well you didn’t,” Violet folded her arms, holding her jacket tight. “You can’t treat me like this, like that. Throwing me in the deep end. It’s not okay.” 
“Right,” Sutan chewed his lip. “I know Bianca can be a handful, but-“
“This isn’t about Bianca, it’s about you not telling me the truth.”
“I’m really sorry. I know I can be scatterbrained. I didn’t mean-”
“It doesn’t matter if you meant it, you still lied.” 
“I guess I did, but it didn’t mean to, or, I wasn’t, I didn’t mean any harm, I-“ Sutan sighed. “I’m fucking it up again, aren’t I?”
“You are.” Violet knew she was harsh, knew she herself was maybe being unfair, but it was confrontation or flight, and Sutan was too important to run.
“I’ll stop explaining.” He dropped the cigarette, stepping on it. “I clearly wasn’t thinking when I planned this.”
“That’s apparent. Just, don’t do this. Don’t make me run away from you, from this, from us.” 
“I won’t.” Sutan took a step towards her. “I’d hate it if you left, especially if it’s for something this fucking stupid.”
Violet smiled, the sincerity in Sutan’s voice like a balm on her frayed nerves, the knot in her stomach slowly untangling. 
“I’m sorry.” Sutan put his arms around her, pulling her into a hug, “Truly.”
“I believe you.” Violet looked up, the familiar smile finally blooming on Sutan’s face.
“You wanna come to mine?”
“Mmh,” Violet nodded, crawling into bed with Sutan, his body on top of hers, his hands touching and taking all she wanted in the world. “I’d like that.”
***
“You alright, angel? You’ve been in there a long time,” Bianca said, stepping into the doorway of the bathroom, where Courtney was standing, barefoot, in front of the mirror. 
She didn’t look up, just kept staring at her reflection, eyes glazed over. Bianca couldn’t help but wonder where the bubbly girl had gone, who was bursting with excitement over her new record deal mere hours before. 
“Are you okay?” she asked again, voice softer now, and this time Courtney looked up. 
“B…” she turned around slowly, biting her lip. “When did you find out about Violet being back in Miss Fame’s office?” 
“Uhh…I’m not exactly sure. Maybe when I was trying to get a hold of Fame, after you quit?” 
“So, right away. You knew right away.” Courtney took a shaky breath. “Why didn’t you tell me?” 
Shit. Bianca had no idea this was going to be an issue. She didn’t even think Courtney liked Violet. 
“Well, I…” Bianca took a step closer. “I guess I didn’t see the point in stressing you out with Galactica talk.” 
“So you lied to me, to protect me-”
“Whoa,” Bianca cut in, holding up her hands. “I did not lie. I just didn’t bring you information that was only gonna bum you out. Okay?” 
“But…” Courtney took a deep breath. “Hiding something is not that different from lying. It’s a lie of omission.” 
“It’s very different, and I wouldn’t even call it hiding anything. This simply wasn’t anything you needed to worry about-” 
“That’s not for you to decide!” she exclaimed, the intensity surprising them both. Bianca raised her eyebrows and Courtney immediately looked apologetic. “I’m sorry. I didn’t…I just don’t want you to keep things from me. Even if you’re doing it to protect my feelings. I need to know I can trust you, that you don’t think of me as some fragile little-” 
“Of course you can trust me!” Bianca assured her. “I’m sorry too. I really didn’t think this would affect you so much. It just seemed so…I mean, what did you think Fame was gonna do? Certainly not inconvenience herself with a new person.” 
If there was one thing Bianca knew about her dear friend, it was that she was not capable of handling sudden changes without making it a headache for as many people as possible. When Bianca heard Violet’s voice on the phone, it made perfect sense to her. Frankly, she’d barely even registered it as something out of the ordinary.
“I guess…I guess I didn’t think about it.” Courtney bit her lip, looking near tears, and Bianca stepped forward. 
“Yeah, exactly. Which is what you needed to do, for your own sanity. This isn’t your problem, why are you letting it get to you?” she asked, cupping Courtney’s face in her hands. 
“Because, I just…I just walked away, I quit and I let everyone else deal with the fallout. Violet doesn’t deserve to be demoted, she-” 
“Okay. Yeah. But are you the one who demoted her?” 
“Well…no, but-”
“Then it’s not your fault. End of story.” Bianca pressed a kiss to her cheek. “I’m not gonna have you beating yourself up just because Fame was a selfish cunt.”  
“Not even when she stops being mad at you?” Courtney asked, one eyebrow raised. 
“Well…who knows when that’ll be?” Bianca asked bitterly, before adding, “But no, not even then. I promise. Okay?” 
Courtney nodded, wrapping her arms around Bianca’s waist and tilting her head up for another kiss, which Bianca happily obliged. 
***
“Trixie!” 
Trixie turned from the counter, coffee cup in hand, barely keeping his eyes open, as Katya burst into the kitchen, her arms full of bags from her trip to the market. He stepped forward to try and help her, but he was still moving too slowly. 
It wasn’t anyone's fault, but he always slept like shit before a show, even though they were completely on schedule. 
Katya, however, was full of peppy energy, her eyes sparkling and smile bright as she began unloading the bags, her pregnant belly not hindering her at all. 
“Guess who I just ran into in the lobby?” Katya exclaimed, filling the fruit bowl with what looked like blood oranges. Trixie opened his mouth, but before he could get out a single word, she barreled on excitedly, “Professor Davenport! Of course she was coming back from the gym; I swear that woman is superhuman. Anyway, do you know what she told me?” 
“Did-” This time, Trixie managed to get a word out. 
“Amy’s getting married! Isn’t that so nice? Joey’s graduating from college. Plus, guess what else?” Katya was now rearranging the freezer in an attempt to Tetris in some new purchases. 
Trixie scratched his head, still wondering about the girl he was pretty sure was a teenager getting married. “Is Amy old enough to get married?” 
“She’s like 28, is that old enough?” Katya laughed, shoving a carton of ice cream into the side of the freezer. “Anyway, after this semester, she’s retiring and they’re moving to Florida. Do you know what that means?” 
“Uh…a lot of humidity?” 
“No! I mean, yes, but, it means that their apartment will be free! Their second floor, four bedroom, three and a half bathroom apartment!” Katya smiled again, this time giving a little squeal for emphasis. 
“You mean…you mean for us?” Trixie asked, brow furrowed. 
“Of course! Wouldn’t it be amazing?! Pearl could have her own en suite, and Killer would have a bedroom. You should tell Fame we want it when they move.” 
“That place has to be at least 6 grand a month,” Trixie reasoned. “Probably more.” 
“So? We’ve saved so much being here, we can afford it. Especially with Pearl paying her share.” 
Trixie shook his head. Currently, he was putting more than half his salary into a savings account every month—and for good reason. That was the money they would need someday if they ever wanted to buy a house. It was money they needed for Killer’s college fund. For a cushion in case something horrible happened. He gripped his cup tighter. 
“Sugarbutt,” Katya sat down, gently touching his forearm. “Is everything okay?”
“Yeah, of course.” The words instantly soured in Trixie’s mouth. He knew he was lying, and he didn’t lie to Katya. “It’s just, if we ever want to move out of the city, we’re gonna need money in the bank-”
“Whoa, what?” Katya laughed. “Move out of the city? Why would we want to do that?”
“You mean…” Trixie didn’t know much about Katya’s childhood beyond the basics, because she didn’t like to talk about it. But he’d seen pictures of her on her family’s country estate, riding horses and swimming in a private lake and posed in front of massive rose gardens. He couldn’t imagine that anyone would grow up with all that and not want it for their own children. “I just assumed, that once Killer’s a little older, we’d want more space. A yard, a garden…don’t you want that?” 
Katya shrugged, wrapping her arms around him. “Maybe. But it’s not something I’m worried about right now.”
Trixie swallowed. There was very little Trixie would ever want to change about Katya—but the way she was so nonchalant about money absolutely terrified him. 
“Why do you still look so freaked out?” she asked, placing a light kiss against his nose.
“Because…” Trixie sighed. She would never understand. She couldn’t understand what it was like to grow up with nothing. To go to sleep with your stomach growling, to burn with shame when you couldn’t help gobbling up the free school lunches that all the other kids turned up their nose at. To wear hand-me-downs that began way too big, until they were embarrassingly small and frayed at the seams. He couldn’t explain it to her, because it didn’t make sense—why even now, earning a generous salary even by New York standards, he broke out in a cold sweat whenever he had to put more than a few hundred dollars on a credit card. 
“We both work really hard, Trix,” she said softly, cupping his cheeks. “And we deserve to live exactly where we want. But I promise, if we sit down to work out the numbers and it doesn’t make sense…” She shrugged, then continued, “...then we’ll stay right where we are. And we’ll be very happy here. Because we’ll be together.” 
Trixie nodded, tears of gratitude pricking his eyes as he wrapped her up into a tight hug. Maybe she did understand. 
***
“Really?” Violet turned around, looking up at Sutan. “Coffee? Already?”
They were walking down the street, a light dusting of February snow in the trees, Violet in a white fur coat, her black hair a stark contrast to the color.
“Bored of me yet?” Sutan smiled, raising an eyebrow. He knew that they had just had brunch, the two of them on their way back to his apartment, but he couldn’t help but want to extend their time together, Violet needing to go home and prepare for the week ahead.
He refused to identify the emotion curling at his stomach as guilt, but he had slept rather badly last night, his conversation with Violet outside of the bar replaying in his mind over and over again. He was grateful that she had agreed to come home with him, the fact that she was lying right beside him the only reason he got any sleep at all.
He truly hadn’t meant to hurt her, hadn’t meant to cause her any distress, which somehow made it all that much worse. He hadn’t thought about Violet for a second when he had scheduled a meet up with Bianca, hadn’t considered if she wanted to come along at all.
He had only thought about himself, and his desire to see his friend to make sure that everything was truly truly okay between them - not just professionally, but privately as well.
“Of course not.” Violet reached out, taking his hand, intertwining their fingers without a second thought. “Don’t be silly.”
“Great,” Sutan grinned, pulling Violet towards the coffee shop. He hadn’t visited it before, but it looked cozy enough, the couches he could see through the window a nice place for them to cuddle up for a while. “They have pastries.”
“Oh god,” Violet rolled her eyes, letting Sutan lead her inside, opening her coat with her free hand. “You and your sweet tooth.”
“We can share?” Sutan had already seen a very promising cinnamon roll, the smell of freshly ground coffee strong and delicious.  
“I don’t know-”
“I’ll let you pick?” Sutan stepped into the line, still holding Violet’s hand. “Whichever one you want.”
***
“Okay, now…Thursday? What’s on your schedule? Remember, give me the call times, not when the show starts.”
“No idea, I haven’t thought that far in advance.”
Bob raised an eyebrow, doing his best not to smile. He was sitting on Kade’s couch, his laptop open, half finished cartons of Chinese food on the coffee table, date night well underway.
“Okay, point taken,” Kade laughed, the pearly sound of it echoing through the apartment. “Gimme a minute.” 
Kade grabbed his gigantic phone, opening up his email.
Bob didn’t have to, but he was making Kade a schedule for Fashion Week. Kade was an incredibly talented makeup artist, but a planner he was not, and while Kade was perfectly fine with going with the flow and showing up when he showed up, Bob knew that being even five minutes late could make or break a freelance career. So he was happy to lend a hand with some of his stellar organizational skills. 
“Ooh, right, I have Christian Siriano at um…11? Wait, no, that’s not the call time, hang on-” 
“You booked Christian?!”
“Oh my god babe!” Kade laughed, showing Bob’s shoulder. “Don’t sound so surprised!”
“I’m not!”
“Your eyebrows literally flew to outer space!”
“Shut up!”
“You shut up,” Kade grinned, putting his arms around Bob’s neck and leaning in, their lips meeting in a kiss. It was kind of awkward to twist his upper body, but Bob didn’t care as long as his boyfriend was tucked into his arms, Kade happily sighing into his mouth before pulling away.
“If you’re doing Christian, does that mean you’ll get his swag?” 
“Probably?” 
If there was one thing Bob loved most about the fashion industry, it was the PR bags. Maxwell had often teased him about his obsession with them, Bob refreshing the blogs over and over again to see if anything had dropped. Bob almost never got one for himself, designers not exactly lining up to hand them out to middle management, but Pearl often let him rummage through whatever she got and pick what he desired. 
“You should bring me one!”
“I think taking two bags is frowned upon, babe,” Kade smiled, his elbow on the back of the couch, his head resting on his hand. 
“I didn’t say to take two.” 
“Oh, you want mine?” Now, it was Kade’s turn to raise an eyebrow.
“Omigod thank you so much for offering,” Bob laughed, reaching out and grabbing Kade’s hip. “I would loooove that!” Bob caught Kade in another kiss, pulling him onto his lap, schedule forgotten.

“Up your bum, no babies!” Courtney cried, clinking her shot glass against Adore’s, who threw back her head and laughed. 
“You’re so classy,” she giggled before downing her shot in one gulp. 
Courtney grinned and shrugged. 
“And I’m so fuckin’ proud of you!” Morgan shrieked. 
“Ow.” Tyra covered the ear closest to her, lips pursed in irritation. “Stop screaming, bitch.” 
“You stop screaming!” Morgan yelled, and Tyra rolled her eyes. 
Adore had to agree with her though - even in the noisy club, Morgan’s voice cut through like a sledgehammer. They were there celebrating Courtney’s latest achievement, and while Adore couldn’t be happier for her friend, it really made her feel like she needed to get her own act together. 
She’d been screwing around with her music for awhile now, playing casually with her bandmates on and off since high school. When she moved back to New York after college (35 credits shy of graduation, as Bianca loved to remind her), they’d made the band official, rehearsing a few times a week as regularly as possible given everyone’s work schedules. 
Adore was the lead singer and wrote almost all of their original songs, and they’d put together a decent set, playing some semi-regular gigs around town until the shit hit the fan with Dahlia and Pearl. She’d been avoiding all of them since then, but enough was enough. 
She made a mental note to call Aja this week, see if they were open to finding a new bass player, since the thought of playing with Dahlia the fucking traitor still made her stomach turn. But allowing Dahlia to ruin her band or her love of music? That was even worse. Adore actually felt pretty shitty and disappointed in herself that it had been so long. Frankly, she was grateful to Courtney’s ambition for giving her this kick in the ass to jump-start everything again. 
“I hope you’ll collaborate with me on one of the tracks,” Courtney said, slinging an arm around Adore’s neck. 
“Really?!” Adore exclaimed. Though they’d first bonded over their love of music and performing, their similarities seemed to end there. Courtney was all bouncy pop, folk ballads and musical theatre, while Adore was punk and grunge and metal. Even the few times when Courtney tried sitting in with the band didn’t really work. 
“Yeah, of course! We just have to find the right producer. But I would never want to do this without you.” Courtney hugged her tighter.  
“Aww…I love you, bae!” Adore hugged her back. 
“Excuse me,” Tati cut in. “No making out without me!” 
“We’re not making out,” Courtney laughed. 
“Oh…can we?” Tati flashed a grin, that slightly glazed look in her eye that said she’d reached a point of drunkenness where she was really ready to cut loose. 
Adore pulled Tati in for a (slightly messy) kiss that was much wetter than she anticipated. When they broke apart, Courtney was giving them both a look of mild disapproval. 
“Jealous?” Adore asked with a flutter of lashes, and Tati laughed, leaning a head on her shoulder.  
“No, just…don’t you have a girlfriend?” Courtney asked, sipping her drink pointedly. “How do you think she’d feel about that?” 
“No, it’s not like that,” Adore explained. She and Alaska were still having a great time together, but ‘girlfriend’? “We’re still just casual.” 
“Okay, but ‘casual’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘not exclusive.’” 
“It doesn’t?” Adore asked, arm still around Tati’s shoulders. 
“Maybe you should talk about it?” Courtney suggested. 
“Omigod, you’re so boring, just make out with us!” Tati exclaimed. 
“How about instead, I get the next round?” 
“Whatever.”

Galactica, Chapter 94 (Group Fic) - TheDane/Veronica
A/N: Click here if you’re looking for previous chapters (or here if you’d rather read on AO3). 💫
Previously: Fame cut Bianca off entirely, Violet gave more interviews than she could count searching for Miss Fame’s new assistant, Aurora started her design job, and Gigi and Symone dealt with some baby lesbian awkwardness.
This Chapter: Bianca obsesses, Violet finally gets a win, Aurora works her ass off, Ivy makes a new friend, Gigi and Symone have a serious talk, and Pearl generously offers to give Katya a hand with a pregnancy-related need.
***
Bianca stood in her walk-in closet, putting together her ensemble for the day. She’d already selected her clothes: Victoria Beckham black knit separates over a cream-colored, high-necked blouse. She was fairly committed to a pair of classic black Louboutins and blood red cashmere Burberry trench, and so all she needed now were some accessories that would pop, bringing out the color in the stripes on her knit skirt and sweater—something golden yellow or red would do. She walked over to her jewelry safe, punching in the code and opening the drawers.
The first thing that caught her eye was a pair of earrings with yellow diamonds that Fame had given her several years ago, when she first got the promotion to Editor-in-Chief. She touched them, remembering what she’d written on the card: They say there are no friends at the top. Fortunately, they also say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Welcome to the top, you’ll love the view XO
Bianca found herself chuckling slightly, in spite of herself, before remembering the absolutely idiotic fight they were currently in and shaking her head.
Over the weekend, when Fame first sent the insane, itemized list of Bianca’s many sins (both real and imagined), she’d been all ready for a fight. Ready to have it out right then and there. But then, in a power move typical of her dear old friend, Fame had gone radio silent, leaving Bianca to fume and brood alone.
It was embarrassing to admit how many times she’d gone back and read over their messages in the days following. Embarrassing to admit that those messages were all but memorized, burned into her brain. Usually, Bianca was good at brushing things like that off—recognizing that people’s rage was often more about themselves than her. But it was different with Fame.
They were supposed to be above this sort of thing. How else could their friendship have lasted so long, nearly half their lives?
They’d stuck by each other through failure and heartache and disappointments, and even more challenging sometimes, through tremendous success.
The thing that struck Bianca the most was how profoundly Fame had missed the point, had assumed the very worst of her at every possible juncture. That even now, when she was living with Courtney, in love with her, experiencing a relationship deeper and more satisfying than any she’d ever had, Fame still insisted on tearing it down, on belittling and insulting Courtney, on insisting that what they felt for each other wasn’t real.
(Not that she had any grounds to know, since she hadn’t taken a second to ask Bianca about the relationship; from the beginning, it was all judgment and absolutely zero faith in Bianca’s ability to connect with someone on a deeper level, or to recognize when it was happening.)
It hurt, maybe even more than the insults she’d hurled, to know how little benefit of the doubt Bianca was allowed. Someone with a communication style as abrasive as hers was no stranger to apologies. And if Fame would actually have graced her with a genuine discussion, she was absolutely planning to say that she was sorry for her part in the whole mess—especially for the actions that had hurt her, even if it was unintentional. But she needed Fame to see her part in it, too. To admit that she’d treated Courtney like shit—on purpose. That she’d been a bitch to someone vulnerable and defenseless was bad enough, but the fact that it was someone Bianca loved? That was a whole lot worse—and would be worse even if they broke up tomorrow, even if the whole lot of them were correct about her relationship.
She swallowed, fingers still resting lightly against the earrings.
“B? Can I borrow-”
Bianca whirled around guiltily at the sound of Courtney’s voice, feeling like a child who’d been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
“What’s wrong?”
“N-nothing! Just..uh…” Bianca closed her eyes briefly, wondering why her heart was hammering so hard in her chest. “I was thinking about a work thing and you surprised me.”
“Sorry,” Courtney said, leaning against the door,  still in her sleepwear: nothing but a pair of boy-cut panties and a white ribbed tank top so worn it was practically transparent. The effect was entirely more delectable than it had any right being. “I was just wondering if I could borrow that little pink bag again. But if you need it, I’ll-”
“No, of course you can. In fact, you should keep it,” Bianca told her, getting the small pink Dolce & Gabbana bag down from the shelf.
“No, it’s yours, I-”
“It’s bright pink, it was made for you,” Bianca said with a smile. “Come here.”
Courtney returned Bianca’s smile, skipping forward to give her a soft kiss, arms going around her waist.
“Sorry for startling you. I should know better than to interrupt you when you’re choosing your clothes,” Courtney murmured, warm and soft in her arms. “It’s like sneaking up on a painter while they’ve got a brush in their hand, working on their masterpiece.”
Bianca laughed. “Luckily, the masterpiece is done.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Mmhmm.” Bianca turned back around, picking up the earrings, telling herself that there was no reason she shouldn’t wear them; they were a gift, and Fame being unjustifiably angry with her didn’t change that. As if to prove some kind of point, she also pulled out the gold cocktail ring Fame had given for her most recent birthday, slipping it onto her finger—it matched the color story, and that was that.
No deeper meaning at all.
***
“Knock knock.”
“Rita?” Violet looked up and over at the door, a smile on her face as she saw the head of HR. She quickly locked her computer. “How can I help you?”
“I think I’m the one helping you today.” Rita smiled as she walked into the office. She was wearing a blue power suit, the shoulders oversized, the tucked in waist making her look a bit like a Dorito. Violet had never asked why Rita always dressed like a lawyer that had stepped right out of the 80’s, but it did puzzle her endlessly.  “Dominique just agreed to our offer.”
“Oh.” Violet was glad she didn’t stand up, because she was pretty sure her knees would have buckled, a rush of relief washing through her, her fingertips tingling. “That’s great news!”
Violet had seen Nicky leave Fame’s office after their interview, had seen Fame actually come to the door to say goodbye, had even been there for Fame offhandedly saying that Nicky’s fluent French would be an asset, but she hadn’t dared dream it would actually work out.
“When,” Violet cleared her throat, trying to reign in her emotions. “When can she start?”
It felt like her stomach was on fire, a tight warm ball of hope sitting in her belly. She wanted to be backstage for the Galactica show as a designer, wanted it so badly she was nearly choking on it, and now, it seemed like there was a possibility that she could actually get it.
“She’s starting Monday.”
“Great,” Violet nodded. “That’s great. She’s a competent assistant.”
“Very competent,” Rita smiled again. “You did a good job.”
“I’ll make sure everything is ready for her.” Violet could feel excitement pump through her. It wasn’t nice, or even polite, but she desperately wished that Rita would leave so she could start preparing.
It would be difficult, but if Violet played her cards right, and Nicky could do her part, there was a genuine chance that they could prepare Nicky enough that Violet could be there for the final Fashion Week preparations.
***
“Aurora, do you wanna come to lunch?”
Aurora looked up from her sewing machine at April, who was picking up her purse.
“Depends on where,” she said flatly, clipping a thread and pulling the trousers out of the machine. When Maxwell and April found out how fast she worked, they’d immediately tasked her with creating support pieces for the Marie Claire shoot at the end of the month. She was trying to knock out the 3 pairs of pants and 2 skirts with enough time to work on the amazing jacket that she’d designed back in London—which they’d both loved and oohed and ahhed all over, but thought she wouldn’t have the time to do for the shoot with everything else that needed to be done.
She’d show them. The plan was to not only finish, but also make a cocktail dress and a tiered skirt in the same print. She knew that she was the youngest designer on the team, and had a lot to prove. Fortunately, her last job as an assistant draper had taught her many skills, among them speed and precision, and she was actually looking forward to impressing them.
“They’re serving upsettingly overdone burgers in the cafeteria,” Jovan zipped his yellow fur jacket as he walked by, pulling a blue beanie from his pocket, “So we’re going for burritos.”
“I reckon I’ll just work on this-” Aurora really wanted to finish the third pair of trousers today to stick to the schedule she’d planned out for herself.
“Uh, burritos?” Kiara perked up, cutting Aurora off, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she batted her eyes. “Can I come?”
“Sure!” April smiled.
“Great!” Kiara jumped out of her seat. When she bent over to pick up her handbag, her fuzzy sweater rode up slightly, giving Aurora a glimpse of her lower back, the alluringly tan skin contrasting with her cream-colored corduroy skirt.
“You know what, I’ll come along too,” Aurora stated. After all, she needed to eat, and she could always stay late tonight.
***
Jackie consulted her notes, making sure that she had every girl on her list, both in hard copies and on the flash drive, before ejecting it from her computer. She was busily putting together packages for all of the New York Fashion Week shows still casting.
They would be sending links to the designers with digital portfolios, of course, but Sutan also liked to send out hard copies, explaining that there was something more psychologically fulfilling about holding a model’s card in your hand.
Her phone rang just as she was putting the label onto the flash drive. She set it down carefully on top of the stack of cards, pressing the button on her headset as she got her notebook ready, pen poised.
“Sutan Amrull’s office.”
“Hi! This is Ivy from Raja’s office at Galactica. You’re Jackie, right?”
“Yes, speaking.”
“I’ve been meaning to call and say hi since you started, so so sorry about that,” Ivy continued cheerfully. “It’s actually kind of weird that we haven’t spoken yet? But you know our bosses always just talk directly instead of going through us. Anyway, sorry I’m rambling. How are things going on your end?”
Jackie knew who Raja was, of course, and Ivy sounded like a very nice, friendly girl, but she also didn’t know her from a hole in the wall, so she attempted to give the most diplomatic answer possible.
“It’s going well, thanks. And nice to talk to you; I appreciate the call.”
“Good. Great-oh wait. Sorry. Sorry. I forgot to ask if you have time to talk. Is this an okay time? I’m happy to try again later if you’d rather-”
“No, this is fine. What can I help you with?”
“I just wanted to make sure we coordinate their hotel rooms in Europe.”
“In Europe?”
“Yes. To make sure that Raja and Sutan stay at the same hotel and hopefully on the same floor, preferably close, ideally adjacent. Otherwise they’ll be impossible to deal with; they get major separation anxiety.” Ivy chuckled. “Probably has to do with that whole sharing a womb thing.”
“Ah. Well…I don’t think Sutan is concerned with that.” Jackie hadn’t met Raja, but what Ivy had just described sounded insane. Weren’t they in their 40s? “He told me that he doesn’t have room preferences.”
“Oh?” A snort of laughter sounded through the phone. “Well, I can promise that he definitely cares. They both do. Trust me on this.”
“Right…” Jackie didn’t normally take people’s words at face value, especially in this industry, but she was inclined to believe Ivy. “I guess it doesn’t hurt to coordinate. I mean, he didn’t say not to.”
“Exactly! Okay, I’m gonna like you,” Ivy giggled, then continued with, “I’ve got all the floorplans pulled up here, so let’s start with London…”
***
“How long do you think they’ll take?” Katya was sitting on the sofa, rubbing up and down her bump, her eyes focused on Fame’s closed door, Trixie on the other side.
“They’ll probably finish soon.” Violet had been finishing up repurposing the instruction manuals she had made for Courtney so Nicky could use them come Monday. It was a bittersweet experience, all the information Courtney had needed to succeed carefully written down, and yet, she had failed spectacularly.
At least all the work Violet had done attempting to save Courtney from herself would now come in handy while training Nicky.
“Good, because I’m seriously dying for some dick.”
“What?” Violet whipped her head around, her eyes wide.
“What?” Katya shrugged, grinning like a Cheshire cat. “Too honest?”
“No, no-” Violet shook her head, cursing herself for the flash of embarrassment she couldn’t keep down. It was normal for friends to talk about this stuff, to share like this, even if Violet hadn’t had many friends to practice honesty with. “You just took me by surprise.”
“Well I’m hoping Trixie is ready to take something later, if you know what I mean.” Katya wiggled her brow, and Violet laughed.

“Ha! This is a lot better than Heathers,” Symone said, adjusting the pillow behind her head, and her arm around Gigi’s shoulders. The two of them were curled up on Gigi’s narrow bed, watching Mean Girls.
“I’m not gonna even deign to respond to that,” Gigi sniffed, and Symone giggled, kissing her forehead lightly.
“Okay, whatever you say…”
The movie was cute—much funnier and less disturbing than Heathers, but Symone soon found herself distracted from the laptop screen by the girl beside her, whose hair was still damp from the shower, the light fragrance of peaches just barely detectable. She nuzzled into Gigi’s hair, hand stroking her arm, before brushing a soft kiss against her cheek.
After a few moments, Gigi turned her head, shifting away. Exactly the opposite of what Symone was going for. She let out the tiniest sigh, head falling backwards.
“What’s wrong?” Gigi asked, turning toward her slightly.
“Nothing’s wrong,” Symone told her. And it was true. Nothing was wrong, exactly. Were things exactly as Symone wanted? No, but she could be patient.
“You sighed.”
“I’m tired. I’m sorry, I just-”
“Are you not happy with me?” Gigi asked, sitting up slightly and leaning on her elbow. Her brow was furrowed, eyes full of worry and confusion.
“No!” Symone exclaimed immediately, shaking her head. The last thing she wanted was to make Gigi feel self conscious—that would probably end up slowing things down even more. If that was even possible. “No, that’s not it.”
“So something is it.” Gigi shut the laptop, holding it against her chest, not prepared to let this one go.
“Geege…I’m not unhappy,” Symone assured her.
“But you’re not happy?”
Symone closed her eyes. When she was younger, tact was not her strong point, and over the years she’d learned that total honesty wasn’t always the best move. But it seemed like right now, maybe she should at least attempt to explain how she felt, since Gigi was on the verge of tears and it didn’t seem like she had much to lose.
“I…look, I know we said we were gonna take things slow. And that’s fine, totally fine, but…we’re taking things reallyslow,” Symone said. “Sometimes it feels like…we’re not even dating. Just like…cuddly friends who occasionally kiss when you’re super hammered.”
“We’ve kissed sober!” Gigi countered.
“Yeah, and you cringe every time,” said Symone, voice as gentle as possible. After all, she didn’t want Gigi to feel pressured.
“Do not!”
“Uh…do so.”
“I do not!” Gigi repeated, then paused. Her voice was small and soft when she asked, “Do I really?”
“Yeah. Sorry.” Symone reached out to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear, thumb grazing her cheekbone. “You do.”
Gigi bit her lip, seemed to shrink inwards before saying, “Well…I mean it’s awkward. I never know what to do, or where to put my hands, or…anything. But…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s okay, don’t apologize. I’m fine. You’re not doing anything wrong.”
“Okay.” Gigi looked down, face showing as clear as day that she didn’t believe what Symone was saying.
“Hey, I’m serious.”
“Okay.”
“Um…” Symone cleared her throat. “Do you want to keep watching the movie?”
“Do you?”
“Yeah, I’m really kind of excited to see Regina get fat.”
Gigi laughed, settling back beside her and opening the computer again. Before restarting the movie, she turned to Symone and pressed a kiss against her cheek. “Thanks for being so…”
Symone nodded, lacing their hands together. “Of course. What else would I be?”
“Well…a lot of people might just give up on me.”
“Never,” Symone promised, leaning a head on her shoulder.

“Pleeease,” Katya whined, all too aware of how desperate she sounded, her hand under Trixie’s t-shirt, stroking his stomach.
“I’m sorry babe, I’m just really tired,” Trixie said. He was laying on the couch, where he’d crashed after work, not leaving the same position, not even for dinner.
“Okay, but what if you just lay on your back, and I’ll do all the work,” Katya suggested, her hand inching higher to feel up his chest.
The doctor had warned her that her hormones would be raging at this point in her pregnancy, but Katya was unprepared for how much it would affect her. How even the scent of Trixie would make her absolutely crazy to feel his cock deep inside of her.
“Please Trix.” She didn’t care that she sounded more strung out than she’d been back when she was using, all she wanted was some relief, the kind she couldn’t get from any toy.
“Dishes are done,” Pearl said, drying her hands on her black jeans as she entered the living room, looking mighty pleased with himself.
“Thanks, Pearlie.” It made Katya laugh the way Pearl was about household chores; she would always help, but she needed as much encouragement and praise for it as a man.
“What are we watching?” she asked, flopping down into the armchair, crossing one leg over the other.
“Don’t know, don’t care,” Trixie mumbled, eyes half closed.
“I’m just trying to get laid.” Katya complained.
“You’re allowed to fuck in your…condition?” Pearl asked, head tilted. “Won’t it like, give the baby a black eye?”
Katya laughed. “No, it’s fine. And healthy. It’s actually the pregnancy hormones that are making me so hard-up. In a way…it’s for the baby.” She looked straight at Trixie, repeating, “For the baby…”
“But I’m so tired,” he whimpered pitifully. “Everything at work is a struggle and we’re so behind and tomorrow we have to be there at the ass crack of dawn-”
“Mmh, I know baby,” Katya pressed a kiss against his ear, “But you don’t even have to be awake-”
“Okay,” Pearl stood up, giving Trixie a firm pat on the shoulder. “Know what. You just rest, bro, I got this.”
“Huh?” Trixie blinked open his eyes, and Katya stopped her peppering of kisses.
“If the baby needs it, then I’m willing to step up,” Pearl explained, taking Katya’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Katya laughed, giving Pearl a playful and flirtatious little shove. “Wow, Pearlie, what a generous offer. Your room or mine?”
“Okay, fine,” Trixie finally said, heaving himself up.
“You sure, dude? I’m happy to help out!”
Katya kept laughing, especially when Trixie turned around to show his grumpy little face.
“Worried she’ll like it, huh?” said Pearl.
“Shut up!” Trixie stomped into the bedroom, turning and asking Katya, “Well?”
“So romantic!” Katya called, giggling. Before taking Trixie’s hand, she turned around to blow Pearl a kiss. “Next time!”
***
“Mmh,” Violet hummed, leaning into Sutan, the familiar scent of his cologne and his warmth filling her nostrils. Her hand was on his chest, her fingers splayed out over his heart, the steady pump of it wonderfully comforting.
They were in the back of a taxi, Violet pleasantly full of food and champagne drunk after their celebratory dinner, Sutan immediately offering to take her out after she had texted the news of a new assistant.
For the first time since coming back to work, Violet could see the beginning of the end, her freedom right around the corner.
Violet had never been good at celebrating, had never really learned how to slow down, her mind always jumping straight to the next big goal, so it was nice that Sutan insisted on taking the time to commemorate when good things happen.
Sutan groaned, pulling her even closer, and Violet giggled, her chest tight with what was probably happiness.
She really shouldn’t go home with her boyfriend, another long day of work ahead of her tomorrow, but she couldn’t resist the promise of Sutan’s complete attention, heat between her legs, everything in her begging to be worshiped by the man she was lucky enough to call her own.

Today is Katya's birthday ^^ and I am so happy that summer in my city finally finished (I hope... my city has a crazy weather... i cant stand hot weather).
To celebrate rain, cold, Katya... and fanfics that made me excited to read by @goodshipsdontsink and @jomarchisgay
1) Home Run by @goodshipsdontsink and @jomarchisgay
I think you should all watch the 1993 movie called Sandlot. This movie gave me what I know about baseball. But here, in this fanfic, Trixie and Katya play softball (i went to google to understand the difference... softball is like a smaller version of baseball and the pitcher obly has one way to throw the ball, whose is bigger). The fun thing: they are from different teams, Trixie is a star and Katya is the best pitcher. Katya first hates Trixe, but hate someone can only make you sick and suck your attentiom spam. 
And Trixie is a cutie pie, really trying to be friends with Katya. And she has a shitty boyfriend who doesnt get her needs. If I get right, she is also alone because she moved to be with her team. 
I am excited for them to turn into lovers.
2) Come sail away by goodshipsdontsink
Its one of those stories about how friendship changes over the years. Jason/Violet notices her sexuality and gender while growing up and stop talking with Trixie, who used to be best friends with. Both have new friends till Katya enters school and both start to like her. Trixie still is a bit clueless if she wants to friends with Katya or kiss her from what I have been reading. And Violet wants both things while telling Katya that Trixie is still their friend. Maybe Katya will be the one to make them be in good terms again or just make a big fight and both Violet and Trixie will be broken and sad. 
I hope for drama and tears.
3) Falling too fast by jomarchisgay ( and thanks to @lemonade-face-blog who asked for this Trixya fanfic, I done it)
Welcome to the Red Side of the Moon. Trixie is a famous country singer that meets a clueless cashier called Katya. Katya wants to know Trixie and discover how famous Trixie is by good ways like big houses, not talking the bus and good food. But also the worst way with paparazzi and rumours, tours and having to lie about relationships.
You should read because Trixie has the smartest PR team ever to help her and she is a cutie with Katya.
4) Witching Hours by jomarchisgay
Trixie is working and Katya comes to her bar because she cant sleep. They talk and share interest on the other.
I dont know why, but while reading I keep seeing in my mind one this painting here:

y o u  a r e  m y  k i n d  o f  a n o n
uhh so fun fact i have never written a rpdr fic before but i will try my best!! i’m using drag names and she/her pronouns only even tho to my knowledge violet is genderfluid and katya is cis.
pls send me prompts im so bored
10. i think i’m in love with you and i’m terrified
Violet is the most beautiful thing Katya thinks she has ever seen.
And that is what is scary about her.
Her eyes are deep and rich, but one look could surely kill you. Her lips are plump and soft to kiss, but her kiss is poison when she wants it to be. Her waist is slight, her skin is smooth, her touch is soft - it’s all deadly.
If she loves you, she means it with all of her heart. But if she doesn’t, it hurts. It kills you. Katya can not tell if Violet loves her or not.
Watching her onstage is like watching a ballet - everything is beautiful, and it’s something you know you could never do. Up there, where everyone could see her, Violet doesn’t even look like she cares, or even like she knows, that people are watching. (Katya knows differently. She knows from talking to her, late at night wrapped only in sheets, that Violet cares very much.) You fall head over heels for her in every performance. (Katya falls head over heels for her every day of her life; every time she wakes up, every time she goes to sleep, every time she does… anything, really. It’s Violet, it’s Violet, it’s always Violet.)
She watches her now, backstage, as she dances like no one is watching. (And everyone is.) They’re on tour together with a bunch of the other Ru Girls, but the only one she cares to watch is onstage now. “God, just marry her already.”
Katya jumps at the voice. Trixie stands behind her, eyebrows raised, hand-in-hand with a tipsy-looking Adore Delano. “We all know you’re in love with her,” Adore says, rather loudly. “Just fucking tell her!”
“We’re not like that,” Katya says, shaking her head. They’re not. They sleep together from time to time, and Violet will call her and ask her about her day and tell her about hers, but she wouldn’t call it a relationship - mostly because she knows Violet wouldn’t call it one. (For Katya, it’s the most longstanding relationship she’s ever had.) 
Trixie and Adore share a look that says Katya has no idea what she’s talking about. Most of the time she would agree, but now she thinks she knows what she’s talking about. She thinks. “Okay, Barbra,” Trixie says, raising the hand not in Adore’s. “Whatever you say.”
She goes back to watching Violet and ignores the voices in the back of her head; one says it’s not fair for Violet when you feel like this and don’t tell her and the other says you’re honestly lucky to be sleeping with her, don’t fuck this up.
She doesn’t know who to listen to now.
It’s 1 am and her phone is ringing. She’s half-in drag and half-out, her hotel room is dimly lit and there are makeup wipes strewn around her. She glances at the caller i.d. and immediately answers. “Hey,” she says, quietly.
“Hey,” Violet says, just as quietly. “Can I come over?”
One voice says no. The other voice answers. “Of course.”
She only waits for fifteen minutes or so before there’s a knock at her door. It isn’t even opened all the way before Violet is inside, kissing her, hands resting on her neck and waist. “God, I missed you,” she murmurs and closes the door.
Violet backs her to the bed and Katya can’t focus. There are hands and mouths and voices and she can’t quite get a handle on herself or the situation. “Wait,” she says. Or she thinks she says it. “Wait, wait.”
Immediately, Violet pulls away and cocks her head. “What’s wrong?” she asks. “Is  everything okay?”
“I can’t - I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” It was the wrong choice of words - Violet pulls away completely, removing her hands and looking hurt. She scrambles to explain. “No, not - not because of you. Listen, okay?”
After another moment of resistance, Violet nods and allows Katya to pull her into sitting next to her on the bed. After she’s sitting and settled, Katya continues. “I can’t carry on like this because… I don’t think it’s all that healthy for either of us. You want someone to just hang out with, and I think that I could… you know.”
“I don’t,” Violet says flatly. “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
Katya takes a deep breath as one voice is louder than the others - tell her tell her tell her tell her - “I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.”
Violet just blinks, but Katya has run out of words, so they just sit there in silence and stare at each other. Then all the sudden, Violet smiles and reaches out to pull their mouths together. “I love you too,” she says simply.
