    Summary

    When she and her sister were renaming the The Last Drop, they were six beers in.
    It felt far more pretentious than she originally wanted, but something about it stuck. When all her life she's felt torn in every direction except the one she actually wanted, this little name made Vi feel warm. And important, like her dreams could mean something.

    La Descente Délicate.

    The Delicate Drop. Or some version of that. Comes from an old root of Demacian that found a Zaun tongue along the way. "It's like your name," Jinx had said. Vi could only laugh, the edge of tipsy making her a little more confused.

    "What?"

    "Well ya know! Like how Violet sounds all soft but really you're… well, you're a secret softy–"

    "Hey, hey, what the fuck?"

    The rest of the bar howled with laughter and Vi could do nothing but groan and down another beer.

    "No, but I'm serious. People will think it's some rich topside snail shit all dainty but then–BAM!—it's a firehouse."
    Delicate like a bomb, they decided.
    And it's all Vi can think about when she looks at Caitlyn now.

    OR: Vi is the head chef and owner of her late father's restaurant and Caitlyn is hired as their live musician

    Summary

    There was a princess.

    There is a beast.

    Nine years after Honmoon Palace fell to a mysterious foe, Kang Mira and Choi Zoey live under the ruthless thumb of the Kang merchant family risen to power with the absence of the ruling Ryu Clan. Zoey, the sweet half-blooded outsider, and Mira, the headstrong and wayward daughter of the Kangs, escape Honmoon Village in fire and blood to leave behind the cold venom of cruel words and coerced obligations. They flee for the ruins of Honmoon Palace, hoping the tales of ghosts and other unearthly creatures will be enough to deter their angry pursuers.

    They don't expect the rumours to hold a grain of truth in them. A terrifying beast roams the palace grounds—the very one alleged to have brought an end to the Ryu line—but it doesn't attack or chase them away. Surrounded by strange magic and a cagey beast, Zoey and Mira plot their next move and ready to leave.

    And the Beast will let them. She must.

    For who could ever love a beast?

    Based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast (1991).

    Summary

    "So," The store clerk starts, raking her gaze over Zoey like she's trying to put together a puzzle but is convinced that half of the pieces she has are wrong. "a farmer… huh?"

    "Wha- I- guh- dnt- I can farm!" Zoey splutters, defensive.

    The pink-haired woman just arches an infuriatingly perfect brow, a smirk starting to pull at one side of her mouth.

    "Right. Because all farmers know that when the growing season starts the first thing they need to buy is three twelve packs of Monster."

    It watches from the treeline, eyes glinting a primal, warning tone. It hasn't moved, not since Zoey spotted it, but Zoey gets the feeling thats intentional. Like it's daring her, waiting for her to make a decision and strike.

    Summary

    A dame comes wandering into Kara Danvers's office, asking for help against her husband. Thing is, the dame is Lena Luthor, her former friend and occasional collaborator, and almost certainly the love of her life. And the thing is, too: Lena's husband tried to kill Kara for their friendship. All told, Kara should send her away. She doesn't.

    Kara Danvers is like any other person in love. A damnable idiot.

    or

    the noir au.
