Summary: The Aces' new PR intern is a mentally ill hot mess who's far from home and missing her old teammates something fierce. The only thing that makes her life bearable is: she's not the only one on the team.

Andrea, the OFC lead, is awesome. She's a queer woman who's played college hockey and has a continuing interest in women's hockey, so the CWHL comes up in this story, as does minor hockey, as do rec league opportunities because those are all things that are part of her life in some way. She and Kent bond and they're careful with each other, which is really excellent, and there's character growth, too. This story was satisfying on multiple levels.

Summary: When Bellamy turns eighteen, he finds out his soulmate is some guy named Clarke Griffin. Which means he has to figure out how he feels about dating guys.

Fluff, essentially. A fic about Bellamy's voyage to feeling comfortable in his sexuality and being prepared to meet his soulmate. Also featuring being friends with an ex. Mostly an interesting exploration of the soulmate trope through the name causing a gender mix-up and meeting your friend's soulmate before they do.

Summary: In Gee's senior year of college, waking up with sex hair and a vague memory of the girl who gave it to her is just another Friday morning. She's fine with that. She is. And then she meets Frank.
Bandom | 10,938 words | Rating: NC-17 | Frank/Gerard
Gee deals with the weirdness of being in a relationship with someone you wouldn't have expected, and how being a woman in a relationship with a man makes some people think you're straight, and how that feels when you're not. There's also all of that youthful insecurity and the logistics of having a sexual relationship while in a dorm - there's a lot of sex in this - and starting to plan your life together. It feels real.

This is a trope I'd not consciously thought of reading or looking for--but now that I think about it, one of my favorite XF writer's entire oeuvre has this trope at its foundation, hiding in plain sight. Thank you.
