Summary
“I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”
Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”
“I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”
Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.
“Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.
After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

Summary
Unfortunately, Carol could only watch helplessly as the garment fell away from the woman's flawless skin. From her vantage point, Carol could see the woman's breast in outline – taut skin, pink nipples, and a devastating lack of a tanline.
The two books in her hand fell onto her towel with a double thump. The woman's eyes slowly met her own in amusement. Carol immediately glanced away in embarrassment – it was a miracle she didn't give herself whiplash.
Europeans and nude beaches shouldn't mix – or, at least, that was Carol Sturka's opinion before a literal Polish model got her claws into her sunburnt skin.

Summary
BEEEEEEEEEEP.
The honk comes without warning. For half a second, Carol thinks she has been shot.
Then it keeps going. A sustained, unbroken, eat-shit honk. The kind LA people deploy when they want to fuck you up as a person.
The honking stops. The Range Rover's window comes down.
"Are you leaving the space or not." The woman says it flat, and bored.
Carol puts her own window down. Slowly, for the fuck of it.
“No, lady. I'm not leaving. I’m parked. This is a parking space, and I have parked a car in it. Like a human being is allowed to. Your response to that was to put your hand flat on a horn for what, an hour? What the fuck is wrong with you?”
or
A feud for the ages. Two strangers let a parking incident burrow into their minds and slowly consume their every thought and action

“Look, I don’t have time for this! If you lost my eggs, or let them defrost or something it’s fine. I don’t need ‘em anymore. So you can—“

DETECTIVE AU
+
All you need to know is that Detective Carol Sturka is a little sad, a little sarcastic, and a little horny.
And Lieutenant Zosia Nowak is rude and hot.
+
“Are you always this insufferable?”
Zosia’s eyes widen almost indiscernibly.
“Careful, Detective,” she says lowly, taking a deliberate step forward. She places her hand on the metal bar next to Carol’s and their fingers brush together. Neither of them pulls away. She tilts her head down ever so slightly. “That almost sounds like a compliment.”

Summary
“Your call,” Helen offers, rubbing Carol’s thigh as she watches her teeth catch her lower lip. Her thumb presses more firmly for a second, grounding her before resuming its slow circle.
It’s only then that Carol tears her eyes away, returning her attention to Helen as she considers her options. It’s been a while since they’ve invited someone else into their bed, and she’d be lying if she said she doesn’t want to feel this woman’s hands joining Helen’s on her body.
“I mean, I think I kinda have to fuck the female Raban,” Carol says after a minute, a slight laugh to her voice.
Beside her, Helen grins, wide and delighted, “I think you do.”
