Summary: “Wait, you haven’t even heard my pitch,” She can hear William’s footsteps quickening behind her, “She’s gay, too.”

Agatha turns sharply on her heel, “How could you possibly know that?”

“I asked.”

“You asked?” Agatha slaps a hand over her face, covering her eyes, “Oh my God, Teen, one of these days you’re going to get slapped in the face, and you’re going to deserve it.”

Summary: She could send her away. She knew she would. She wouldn’t even need words, Agatha could simply walk away and Rio would understand she didn’t want her around.

Summary: Rio snaps her eyes open, scanning the deck rapidly. It doesn’t take her long to spot the figure she’s looking for, it never does. It’s not like looking for a needle in a haystack; it’s like looking for a dagger amongst butter knives—something your hand has touched, that you intimately know the shape of, sticking out boldly among the bland and uninteresting.

Agatha Harkness walks across the upper deck of the RMS Titanic the same way she walked a crooked path in the forest, the same way she walked through colonial mansions that she stole from unassuming generals, the same way she walked into Rio’s world those few centuries ago; like she owns it.

Pairing: Agatha/Rio

Summary: Rio stalks a slow, predatory circle around Agatha’s mother, running the sharp blade of her knife across her fingertips. God, she hates ghosts. They’re just water vapor and heightened emotion: all the most annoying things about human beings, with none of the fun parts. Nothing she can wrap her hands around and strangle. Nothing she can stab.

But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing she can do.
