- A Portrait of Hope
- Sarah is an art student, and her roommate, Tally, is a chemical engineering major. They couldn't be more different. College was rough enough to begin with, Sarah knew, but dealing with Tally's peppy demeanor and incessant talking was another thing entirely. Still, something drew them together, inspiring a degree of trust and vulnerability that neither had experienced before. Maybe they could be friends after all. If Tally didn't make Sarah pull her hair out first, that is. {5/14/23}

- Hold Me Through It
- Most people believe that General Alder is heartless. That she is only cold and calculating--ruthless to a fault--that she doesn't feel pain, sorrow, or loss anymore after her many centuries.

Nothing, because unlike Petra, or Abs, or Raelle and Scylla or even fucking Nicte (she didn’t hate Nicte either, she had to remind herself, it was once again just the vast injustice of it all) Alder was dead. Gone. A presence so vast and all-consuming just gone, blown into the wind like a dandelion which had been blown by a child, leaving a huge gaping void in Tally’s life which was showing no signs of healing any time soon. {5/16/23}

- Shot from the back
- A small moment between Alder and Craven after Alder steps down as general. {5/16/23}
- Stripped of Command
- As long as Sarah wears her uniform, she’s the General. Calm, collected, stern and above all: oozing dominance over each and every one on base. It’s how everyone knows her and Sarah wouldn’t want it any other way. But Tally knows better than that. As soon as they’re in the bedroom and the uniform comes off, Sarah hands over all her power to Tally who can then do whatever she pleases to her. All Sarah can do in these moments is obey and Tally wouldn’t want it any other way. {5/14/23}
- Summoned
- “I summoned you here to talk about your behavior.” Tally freezes, attempting to mentally recount the several recent activities that could bring on that low, scolding tone.
