    Summary

    How would she begin to heal from such a thing? A transient and blushing romance that had illuminated so, so much within her being, only to be crushed within the same hand that had pet and caressed so gently only an evening before.

     

    some things in which may have happened before as well as after The Ritz and The Oak Room , maybe a bit more complicated than would have been true , because tension and emotional complexity is something that can be nice to write for ♡

    many lana del rey songs have served as my inspiration for these chapters and circumstances , hence both title and chapter names

    ( Please forgive me , for I am yet to read The Price Of Salt in its entirety , and I am writing with what I do know )

    Summary

    1948. What happens when the truth hits that half of a life has lived an elaborate lie, one necessitated by a vast fortune? How does one cope when the job for which one has trained eventually ends? Life should be grand! But ghosts from Therese’s past haunt her present, and threaten to upend a happily-ever-after future.

    Despite a complex relationship and a discovered switch in identity, Therese and Carol’s love perseveres. But after a joyous reunion, a weight begins to descend. A conversation. An unusual setting. A moody, angsty Therese and a devoted Carol examine events leading to one woman’s run to escape her destiny. Revelations will unnerve them; unraveling secrets will certainly frustrate.

    ‘Queen of Hearts’ is a multi-chapter sequel to ‘One-Eyed Jack.’ A forgotten room. A conversation over the course of a day and evening. Memories come unbidden– a recounting of the past weeks through our characters’ eyes. Is unconditional love the cure for everything?

    Summary

    In my one fic “Faced-Off with that Broad-Shouldered Boy” it mentions letters written by Richard and how Carol and Therese reacted like them. This expands on that.

    Or; I really like overprotective Carol.

    Summary

    Until she met Carol, Therese didn’t know what love was.
    Carol, on the other hand, knew exactly why she should stay away from her.

    Therese was too young, too innocent—still untouched by the kind of deep longing Carol carried inside her.
    Carol was the opposite: a woman with complications, secrets, and enemies.

    And so, no matter how much it hurt, Carol knew she should let Therese go.
    Because some encounters are not meant to happen—especially when wanting someone feels more dangerous than letting them go.

    But wanting someone is not the same as choosing them.
    And for Carol, resisting Therese was the hardest thing she had ever done.

    The question was—could she actually do it?

    Summary

    Here we go again. It’s been literal years since I’ve posted. This isn’t finished, but I’ve stockpiled chapters for what seems like forever.

    It’s post-Oak Room and I don’t feel that I’m that great at writing in this time period, but I’m doing my best.

    I hope you enjoy!
