Why this must be read:

This fic is a rare beast; it's a modern AU all about the girls and their spectacularly messy, complicated and sexy relationship. Better yet, it doesn't fall into the trap of assuming all sex between two women is soft and fluffy.

They spent hours on the phone to each other; they spent their Sundays in bed listening to radio 4 and talking about silly, strange things like what would happen if somebody discovered how to turn invisible or the perfect consistency of pancakes. The working week passed in a grey, dull, meaningless blur compared to the lightness of the days they got to spend together.

Morgana mapped, with great diligence, every mark on Gwen’s body. She knew every freckle and mole, every scar and spot. She loved every one of them; she loved the familiarity of Gwen’s body – the safety and comfort of it. She’d never been with anyone for longer than a few weeks before. She’d never felt this unguarded with a girl. She loved that Gwen could make her laugh and take her breath away in the same moment. Her modesty was charming, her self-consciousness endearing, her intelligence admirable.

And it took Morgana nine months, give or take, to get bored.
