    Summary

    Was it only three months ago that the story had come out in Confidential magazine? It felt like so much more time had passed. The headline was burned into Alex’s memory: ALEXIS D’ANVERS AND MAGGIE SAWYER: BOSOM BUDDIES OR BEDROOM BUDDIES?

    They met in 1952, they fell in love in 1953, they fell apart in 1954.

    Alex and Maggie are movie stars in the waning days of Hollywood's golden age. Against the backdrop of the House Un-American Activities Committee's anti-communist witch-hunts, the Hollywood blacklist, the rise of Technicolor cinema, the virulent early days of celebrity tabloids, and a (literally) underground gay bar, this is a story of how they find each other again in 1955.

    Summary

    Time passes in a way Maggie can't remember ever having experienced before. She measures it in time with Alex and time away from her, in time spent kissing and talking and flying together. They learn that if Maggie drinks water and then kisses Alex, Alex can taste it on her tongue. So Alex, who has been fiercely thirsty for as long as she's been damned, makes a game of it, insisting on a drink and a kiss every time they're near water.

    Summary

    It wasn’t what she was supposed to want, as a woman. She was supposed to want someone who was large and strong and hearty, someone who could wrap his arms around her to shelter her from the world.

    But something about Tom captivated her.

    (Yes, this is a Sanvers fic.)

    Summary

    Maggie’s starting to think that she’s doomed to have a bad dating life, but after the fourth date gone wrong, she’s sensing a theme. An outside factor theme, with an admittedly nice butt.

    “Are you sabotaging my dates??”

    Alex's bewildered expression is worthy of an Oscar, honestly.

    Summary

    "She - her troop - had to win the biggest prize this year. They had to. Alex didn’t even care what it was. Because Maggie’s troop had beaten them in box numbers last year, and Maggie had always been a worthy competitor, and Maggie was the only person who took this stuff as seriously as Alex did, and she was back."
