Title: Just Hold Me
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Characters: Cora Hale, Erica Reyes
Pairing: Cora/Erica
Rating: PG
Word count: 300
A/N: Set in an alternate timeline in which Cora and Erica escape from the vault and go on the run. Also on AO3.
Summary: Cora and Erica take refuge in a cabin.
Erica smashed the lock on the door of the cabin. It broke, allowing the two Betas to enter the small building. Taking a look around, Erica said “We’re in luck. It doesn’t look like anyone is using this place this time of year.”
“Thank goodness” said Cora. She flopped down on the couch in the living room of the cabin. “Living on the run can be exhausting.”
Erica hugged herself, trying to stay warm. “God, it’s freezing in here” she said. Her eye caught sight of the fireplace, with a pile of dry wood stacked neatly next to it. “Oh good, we can light a fire.”
“No, don’t!” cried out Cora.
Erica turned to look at the other girl. Cora’s claws had extended and her eyes were glowing yellow. “Shit, Cora, I wasn’t thinking” said Erica. She sat down next to the brunette and wrapped her arms around her. “Do you want to talk about it?” she asked after a few minutes of silence.
Cora shook her head, then, apparently changing her mind, opened her mouth and began to speak. “I just can’t handle the memories” she said. “The warmth of the fire on my face, it just brings to mind so many awful sensations.”
“It’s okay; you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to” said Erica, rubbing Cora’s back.
“The heat isn’t even the worst part” said Cora. “I mean, everyone knows fire is hot. And the choking to death on smoke isn’t pleasant, but again, it’s something everyone knows about. The worst is the screaming, the sounds of the people you love dying. I couldn’t sleep for weeks afterwards without being awoken by the sounds of my family’s screams in my head.”
“Is there anything I can do?”
“Just hold me for a while.”

Title: I'd Rather Stay Home

Summary: Allison surprises Lydia on her birthday.
Lydia stood in front of the mirror, primping for her date with Allison. It was the banshee’s birthday, and her wife had promised her an evening she wouldn’t forget. Just as Lydia was putting the final touches on her makeup, the hunter entered the bedroom.
“You look beautiful” said Allison, smiling at the sight of the redhead. “Are you almost ready?”
“Just about” said Lydia. “You should know by now that you can’t rush perfection.”
Allison chuckled. “You know, I was going to wait until the end of the night to give you your present, but I think you could use it now” she said.
Lydia looked from the mirror to her wife. “You know how I feel: any time is the right time for presents.”
Allison disappeared out of the bedroom for a minute. When she reappeared, she was holding a small gift wrapped in shiny gold paper. “Happy birthday, Lydia” she said, handing the gift to the redhead.
Lydia smiled and began to peel back the wrapping paper. Underneath the paper was a velvet box, and, when Lydia opened the box, she discovered a rose gold necklace embellished with a pink diamond in the shape of a heart. She gasped at the sight of the gift. “Allison, it’s gorgeous” she said. “You shouldn’t have.”
“Yes, I should have” said Allison. “You deserve it.”
Lydia removed the necklace from the box and offered it to Allison. “Help me put it on?” she asked.
Allison took the necklace and undid the chain. Then, as Lydia held her hair out of the way, the hunter placed the chain around her wife’s neck and refastened the clasp.
Lydia moved to examine herself in the mirror. Then, she turned to Allison and kissed her.
After a minute, Allison pulled away and said “We’re going to miss our reservation.”
“Who cares?” said Lydia. “I’ve suddenly decided I’d rather stay home than go out tonight.”
