fic: if you were and you are (you’re a jellicle cat) (Willow (2022), Kit/Jade, E)

Kit does see her around, of course. She watches politely and appropriately while Jade rehearses; the intricacy and skill of Jade’s dancing does absolutely nothing to lessen Kit’s yearning. When she closes her eyes at night, she sees the perfect pointed-toe-flexed calf of Jade rehearsing Mr. Mistoffelees’ Conjuring Turn, the perfect spin of her body elongated and powerful. She thinks of what it might feel like to run a curious hand along the length of Jade’s leg. She imagines stroking the soft ears on Jade’s headband, feeling the seam where black fur meets white.

fic: that you steered straight into the ditch (Critical Role Campaign 4, Julien/Azune, E)

House Davinos may only be a vassal house, but Julien is still a noble.
No one dares ask him to kneel.

fic: from inns of molten blue (Willow, Kit/Jade, E)

The train journey from New York up to Buffalo, into Niagara, it isn’t a long one. But the bustle of it as a circus instead of just one person, is something else altogether. The process of unloading and setting up of for a shorter engagement, and then packing the whole endeavor after a week is a whirlwind. Kit feels like she’s already lived a lifetime in the two weeks since leaving New York. It makes her think of learning a second language. Or, rather - recalling a first language, after a lifetime speaking a second. Shaking the rust off of words and phrases that used to fall naturally from her tongue.

A post-series Circus AU story, for @commanderbuffy

fic: knights come riding two and two (Willow, Jade/Elora, M)

It’s a Friday afternoon when the department springs the latest girl on her.

Well - woman, probably. She seems about Jade’s age, and Jade’s sure she’s perfectly qualified for whatever it is that her job entails. Jade has in fact been assured, by the head curator in one particularly dark spot in the endless blur of staff meetings, that she has excellent credentials. She’s qualified to support Jade in marketing, public relations, and knowledge translation. Jade’s also been assured by one of the maintenance staff and two of the junior curators that she’s a certified hottie.

Jade’s not sure how any of that is meant to be relevant to her, if she’s being perfectly honest.
