Excerpt: They didn't often agree on anything, but if you asked Rosa, Gina, and Amy, they'd all tell you: it was Gina who started it. Gina liked to tell the story to anyone who looked like they had a spare moment; she loved to brag on her sexual prowess vis-à-vis having two girlfriends.

"It's exhausting," she always said, nodding with a little smug look on her face, "but I find it's worth it."

Prompt: yuletide 2009: What happened between Ch33 and Ch34 of the book? For cstoplurking.

Title: Tell Me
Words: 3261
Author/Artist: rhap_chan
Fandom: Trigun
Pairing: Meryl/Milly, mixed with Meryl/Vash
Rating: G
Warnings: het
Request: yuri_challenge: Milly/Meryl - believe - "please tell me something I already know"

I do not profit from these writings. The opinions and actions expressed in these stories are not necessarily the views and beliefs of the original author or me.

Author's Note: There are two important things to note in this fic: the anime canon Meryl/Vash is a pretty important part of the plot, and also that it is my belief, judging by certain episodes, that Milly and Wolfwood had some sort of physical relationship. Regardless, there is definitely yuri.

Excerpt: It is pitch black in their bedroom and Meryl's hand is resting gently on Milly's pregnant belly. She is smelling Milly's hair, the fragrance of her last bath. Milly smells like something sweet and gentle. Meryl uses the same shampoo, but still manages to smell sharp, hard, like the edge of sweat. Milly doesn't tell her partner that.

Author's Notes: I really doubt that these ficlets would fit into canon timeline, so consider this AU. For the curious the villainesses are based on these real comic book villains: ( cut in case you want to guess )

Excerpt: Kitten picked at the ridiculously revealing decolletage of her number-two costume and nodded, making a mental note, while trying to seem smart and attentive, though not attentive enough to be a threat to Felinia's dominance. Things had seemed so complicated back then. She thought she had something to prove.
