Summary
Kara cradles her pile of dirty plates. She doesn’t know how to open Lena’s brand new dishwasher without ripping the handle apart. She usually figures these things out through trial and error, but she’s never been alone in Lena’s apartment, and she can’t risk winging it in front of her.
So, she just stands by the sink and watches the hot water redden Lena’s sensitive skin, the light glinting off her beautiful earrings, and my happiness bites the plum of your mouth.The verse comes to her, unbidden, from one of their weekly poems. Lena always chooses poems with such physicality to them. Always real, touchable.
---Or: Kara is an alien, Lena is a genius. Their strangeness separates and connects them to the world and each other in peculiar ways. Being human in Lena’s eyes allows Kara to tap into parts of herself she hadn’t been able to explore before, but she knows her secret will one day stop being a bridge between them, and they’ll both lose the version of Kara Lena has grown to love. (Tender slow burn, mutual respect, bittersweetness and tentative physicality galore! Some angst and a lot of joy)

Summary
Dans l’Empire de Tevinter, les elfes n’ont ni nom, ni liberté. Pourtant Leda Mercar grandit cachée, là où sa simple existence est un crime. Dotée d’un esprit prodigieux, elle consacre sa vie à combattre la corruption dans les ruelles étouffantes de Minrathie. Mais derrière son calme, quelque chose se tait. Une étrangeté enfouie dans son regard, dans ses silences, dans la façon dont elle comprend le monde. Et lorsqu’une détective cynique croise sa route, l’équilibre vacille.
***
In the Tevinter Imperium, elves have neither names nor freedom. Yet Leda Mercar grows up in hiding, where her very existence is a crime. Gifted with a prodigious mind, she devotes her life to fighting corruption in the suffocating alleys of Minrathous. But behind her apparent calm, something remains unspoken. A strangeness buried in her gaze, in her silences, in the way she understands the world. And when a cynical detective crosses her path, the balance begins to falter.Bookmarked by I_got_80_HD
