    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    Set during Endwalker, pre-Tower of Babil, spoilers through Garlemald. Sadu/Cirina established relationship.

    Eorzeans were not Steppe people. They had not the sense. They followed different customs, strutting about as if they followed a standard of nobility above all others, innocent of the same acts they accused their enemies of. But Sadu watched regardless, holding her tongue as she observed their speeches, and marked well the grain of the khagan's allies.

    So it was Broken Glass now, in the Eorzean way, and Sadu kept her thoughts to herself.

    And to one other.

    Summary

    A conversation about homosexuals takes an unexpected turn when Kissinger alludes to Nixon's personal familiarity with them.

    [The events of this story are 100% accurate and true, as recounted to me in a Zoom call by the late Henry A. Kissinger before he died.]

    Sometimes you want to read about two people having a bad time together. This absolutely scratches that itch. A really compelling exploration of trauma.
