Summary
After the death of her wife, nihilistic and closeted romance author Carol Sturka descends into a stupor of drunken depression which is only compounded when her fanbase finds out she’s a lesbian and erupts in outrage and deems her disingenuous. Her publicist has the perfect solution to rebuild Carol's public image and free her from the "romance slop" genre forever, but Carol isn't going to like it.
She's right. Carol hates it. (Until she doesn't.)

Summary
“All those words that live in your head and the best you can come up with for me is a Disney moral conscious?”
Carol pauses, the words and the protest were too real, even for her imagination. Maybe it was the drugs still in her system. Maybe all those years behind the bottle were finally catching up with her. She pinches the tip of her index finger, reigniting the sting of the torn skin underneath. This was real. Right? She turns slowly, the grit of the outdoor tile sticking to her feet in a way that reminds her its been too many days since her last shower.
Finds the empty space she expected and is almost disappointed in a way she doesn’t quite know how to put into words.
--
Or
After losing Helen Carol spirals. Finds that maybe if she wants to save the world she has to let herself be open to the possibility of happiness again. Of love.
Of falling for the mystery that is Zosia.

Summary
“Have you wanted to sleep with a woman?” Karolina asks and well, that’s it, this conversation isn’t muddy water anymore, but was it ever?
“I…don’t know how to answer that,” Rhea says, putting her forehead in her hand. The second she breaks eye contact Karolina moves.or: the one where there is wine, lesbian tension and they fuck on a couch
and: the third and second one, where things... keep going.

Summary
Carol misses those nights when she took silence and sleep for granted. It’s been two weeks since they have stopped, and the repercussions are starting to show in the sluggish way she moves about in the morning. In the headaches that remind her of the worst kind of hangover. And in the irritation she feels at the slightest inconvenience, or even at her lack of inspiration when she sits in front of a blank document on her computer.
Well, maybe that last part isn’t entirely someone else’s fault. But still, she should do something about the fucking noise.
[...]
“Well, then? Do you need something?”
Carol takes a deep breath. For the first time since moving in this awfully sleazy apartment complex, she’s about to be the wet blanket everybody hates – or maybe appreciates for the intervention, she hopes.
“Yeah,” she mutters and points to the door. “Could you turn it down? I – I’m trying to get some sleep.”
The other seems to ponder her request for a second before shrugging. “It’s not that loud.”or
a new tenant moves in the upstairs apartment. She's loud, careless, annoying. And hot. And Carol has a hard time dealing with that.
