Summary
After witnessing their husband and ex-fiancé fall to his death from the balcony of Viola's mansion, Helen Sharp and Madeline Ashton realize that they must deal with each other for eternity. They begin their new "life" by reminiscing about their college years, with silly fights and arguments, and perhaps confessing things they never dared to say out loud.
AKA: A fairly long, sitcom-style slowburn fanfic about Madeline and Helen living together after killing each other and falling in love in the process

Summary
New ao3 account who's this!? Basically this was my first day of kinktober writings that i lowkey forgot to upload. I have many more to edit and upload. I dont really know what kind of kink this even is, it just most definitely is not normal. Anyway, I thought it'd be nice to try and write more of a bottom! Helen Sharp, i dont know, she's such a dork nerd I love her. I definitely tried, however, it is very *very* brief. I tried to not shy away from the actual SMUT part of KINKtober so much in days following.

Summary
She had whispered his name. Yes, she must have had. At least once, before the world dissolved in a pair of frightened blue eyes. Or perhaps she had screamed. Not his name, but she can recall an inhuman shriek near her and the burn of her throat, scorched earth but in skin.
Helen isn’t dead and she has woken to silence.OR
Seemingly boring Helen Menville leads a quiet life. Her days revolve around her husband, her cat, and the Broadway diva she’s sworn to get kicked out living across the courtyard. Her plan to ruin Madeline Ashton goes off-script, or does it?

Summary
“Hi. Welcome in,” she said, voice smooth and professional despite the flutter under her ribs. “I’m Helen Sharp, CEO of Sharp Publishing. And you are?”
The blonde stepped forward, her handshake firm, warm.
“Madeline Ashton.”
A sharp spark, like a jolt of static, or something stronger… Shot up Helen’s arm the moment their hands met. Both women glanced down, then back at each other, eyes locking again.
____________When Helen Sharp, the no-nonsense CEO of her family’s publishing company, hires a new assistant, she expects efficiency, not a distraction. But Madeline Ashton’s bright smile and relentless optimism quickly start to unravel the careful walls Helen’s built around herself. Between long hours, quiet offices, and growing tension, lines begin to blur in ways neither woman can ignore.

Summary
For Madeline Ashton, flirting is a performance she’s perfected. For her best friend and roomate, Helen, it’s an unsolvable mystery - or so she claims. When Helen begs for lessons to win over her painfully dull boyfriend, Madeline reluctantly agrees.
As each "lesson" blurs the line between performance and reality, the real question isn't if they can stay away from each other, but how long they can keep pretending they want to.

“Do you want to be my friend?” Helen was stunned. Madeline looked like the popular girls from school that never wanted to do anything with her.
“You want to be friends?”
“Of course! Just write down your number.” Madeline handed a piece of paper and a pen. Helen smiled. She was so glad she had been found.

Summary
No True Pair 8 Character Challenge is a mad-libs-style challenge, hosted on dreamwidth. You make a list of characters, a set of prompts is posted that uses all the characters in different combinations, and you create works using those characters.
Each chapter will be a stand-alone one-shot (unless otherwise noted).
Fair warning - about half of the characters I chose this year are wacky, unhinged gremlins (affectionate!!) so this is gonna be a wild ride!
