Summary
Helena is here at hand,
And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
Shall we their fond pageant see?
Lord, what fools these mortals be! -

Summary
Toph was bored. Stuck at the palace waiting for that life-changing field trip after having saved the world, Toph Beifong decides to talk to Azula, trapped in a prison that she deserves. It'll be fun, she thinks, seeing of Azula can still lie to her. See if she could have just a little fun taunting her. What's the worst that could happen?
Azula was bored. Trapped in a prison being preached at by her useless brother, the new Fire Lord, she has nothing better to do than to start a game of sorts when Toph arrives, one aimed at earning her freedom at any cost, even if it means digging into the similarities that lay between them. Who's going to care, anyway?
When you're trapped and stuck, where are you going to go?

Summary
"So...what are you doing for Valentine's Day?" Jackie asks, bouncing on the tip of her toes.
"Uh, jack shit like usual," Nat slams her locker closed.
"I mean...really?" Jackie suddenly looks smaller, her hand rubbing at the back of her neck, "We're not going to do anything?"
"Why would we?" Nat's eyebrows furrow together.
Jackie's face flushes red, and she looks away, "Because it's our first one together."
Nat swears her brain short-circuits, "What?"
---
or the one where nat is oblivious, jackie is an affectionate girl in love, and their friends love laughing at them

Summary
"I hired you to be my disaster girlfriend, not to..." Jackie stopped, ran a hand through her hair, messing up the careful styling. "Not to basically grope me in front of everyone."
"I didn't grope you."
"Your hand was on my ass, Nat."
"It was on your waist."
"It was lower than my waist."
"Okay, fine, maybe it was a little low," Nat said, crossing her arms defensively. "But that's the point, isn't it? Shock value. Make them uncomfortable. That's what you're paying for."
Or: Jackie's desperate, Nat needs money and it's Christmas so no one can fix it.

Summary
“But high school,” Jackie pressed,” The actual school part, was it really that bad?”
Nat pursed her lips in annoyance. “So, you want to go back to the reunion because it wasn’t really that bad the first time around?”
“We could see everyone. Check how they’re doing.”
“Babe, if you really wanted to see Van that bad, we can just call her.”
Jackie slapped her on the shoulder. “You ever think our social circle is a little small?”
“You ever think that you can just ask me things instead of dragging them out like this?”
OR
Jackie goes back to the Wiskayok for her ten year high school reunion, Mari has beef with Misty, Van and Nat keep drinking, Laura Lee is an angel and Lottie, somehow, is still running a cult

Summary
University AU where Francesca is supposed to be in a perfectly loving relationship with her boyfriend, John, with a sensible future of marriage and children on the horizon, right up until John's cousin, Michaela Stirling, returns from a sabbatical abroad and Francesca finds herself, suddenly, hopelessly curious about another woman in ways that are utterly nonsensical.
Now Francesca finds herself unable to stay away and trying very hard not to think about why telling Michaela she and John are dating feels like it would ruin everything. Surely keeping that little detail about her relationship status cannot be seen as lying if Michaela never asked. Right?
--
Or, finding the courage to be yourself before it's too late.
--
Doesn't love make us all a little crazy though? Or is that just Francesca?
