Summary:

Rio loved the Little Dribblers. Five-year-olds were surprisingly competent on the basketball court, and they were ridiculously cute. Coaching the team was also a fantastic ego boost. All of the kids and their parents adored Coach Rio. Barring Agatha, of course. But Rio had no self-preservation instinct and liked getting yelled at by pretty women, so it was fine. Agatha, on the other hand, hated the Little Dribblers. She wished she’d never signed her son up for the stupid basketball team. Agatha knew Nicky was the worst player on the team. That wasn’t the problem. She couldn’t care less about her son’s lack of athletic ability—he’d inherited it from her. The problem was Nicky’s new obsession with the coach of said basketball team—something he may have also inherited from her. OR: The one where Rio coaches Nicky's basketball team, and Agatha has to deal with the consequences.

Summary:

“Will your husband join you for lunch today, Mrs. O’Connor?” Agatha frowns, “My husband?” The steward tilts his head in confusion, but as soon as he opens his mouth to reply, the door to the train car opens and Rio strides in with her chaotic elegance. She unapologetically sits in front of her. “How’s the fish done?” Rio asks, without looking up from the menu. “Baked, sir.” the steward politely answers. “Sir?” Agatha scoffs, bewildered. “People tend to see me as they wish.” Death carelessly explains, eyes never leaving the page. “I’ll have the salad and my wife will take the steak, will you not dear?” Agatha is blanking again, she was indeed going for the steak, “Fish, thank you.” “But you so prefer something bloody,” Rio grins at her, all teeth of course. Or: Fall of 1951, Agatha embarks a luxurious train to San Francisco with plans to accomplish an intricate ritual. She expects a pleasant journey until, somewhere between the smoker’s lounge and the dining car, Death appears, being her usual disruptive self. Or: Strangers on a Train meets The Craft but it’s less of a whodunit and more of a wtfareyoudoingAgatha

Summary:

Rio of the Vidal House is said to rule Westvista with an iron fist. The consensus from many is that she’s unmerciful, stoic, and cruel. Rumor is she has quite the large pile of bodies. Disgraced noblewoman Evanora Harkness will do anything to get back into the aristocratic crowd, so she has no issue sending her daughter Agatha into the lion’s den to act as Rio’s newest lady’s maid… as well as her eyes and ears. But Agatha has other plans.

Summary:

"And what makes you think you'd be a good fit here, Ms. Vidal?" Rio squeezed her fingers tighter in her hand. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about those sharp, blue eyes since she sat down. It was more than distracting. "Uh," Rio opened her mouth, then mentally smacked herself in the face. Agatha raised a brow at her, then leaned back in her seat slightly. Her attention went back to the monitor and it didn't look like it was coming back to Rio. The interview felt more like a humiliation ritual. Which was why Rio nearly dropped her phone onto the busy street when she got the call that she'd been hired. Rio has been working for Agatha Harkness and avoiding going back to her hometown for three wonderful years. It's an irritating job to say the least, having to deal with her boss's erratic temper, wild schedule, and even wilder requests, but Rio rolls with the punches. Once she's figured Agatha out, everything becomes easy. Until the day Agatha requests a marriage, a divorce, and a trip to the town she's been avoiding. aka, the proposal au :)

Summary:

She doesn’t even get to order the damned beer before there’s a blood-curdling scream from upstairs, and she’s off like a shot. Halfway up, she’s met by none other than Madam Rio, and Rio looks fit to kill. Agatha has the fleeting notion she’s about to be shoved down the stairs and instinctively sidesteps as Rio gets close. “That you screamin’?” she asks. “You don’t know my scream by now?” Rio snaps. Agatha hooks her thumbs in her belt loops and puffs out her cheeks. “I s’pose y’do it often enough, I ought to know it. What’s wrong this time?” * Agatha Harkness is the sheriff of Westview, a small town that flourishes due to the whorehouse above the saloon. Now, Agatha’s not against the idea of the sex industry providing the funds to pay her salary and keep her comfortable… she just can’t fucking stand Madam Rio Vidal, the infuriating, reckless, devil-may-care woman who runs the business. Rio doesn’t listen, doesn’t respect Agatha and doesn’t take no for an answer. But when something threatens the town in general and Rio specifically, Agatha will have to put her feelings aside, or at least find a way to make their antagonism work in her favor to protect Rio and preserve their way of life.
