In honor of Femslash February, the binder is recommending our favorite femslash fics. Today’s fic is centered around Noora/Eva. If you like it, please consider leaving it some love in the form of kudos and comments!

Falling Faster and Faster -  Stria (Asia117) / @nooradeservedbetter (13k words)

“I’m a fucking creep and it’s not right that a creep like me stays close to two people like you. I can’t, not till I manage to reign in the fucking creepiness I have inside myself.” She says it all in the span of a breath, and after that she’s panting a bit, and she can feel actual tears on her cheek. “I’m a creep,” she repeats, and then breaks into sobs.

[Or, Vilde starts dreaming about Noora and Eva. She can't think straight, she's so gay, and all that jazz.]

Notes & Ramblings:

This is a threesome of Vilde/Eva/Noora, but is the story of a developing relationship, not just pwp. (Although there’s plenty of smut, too!)

Reading this story felt like the Vilde coming out arc I had always hoped for in canon, and the process she goes through as she slowly comes to terms with her sexuality felt very true to her character. 

An important part of this story is Vilde’s erotic dreams, which are explicit and incredibly sensual. The dream sequences are integral to her sexual awakening and woven skillfully into the narrative. It was refreshing to read a coming out fic that was so explicitly sexual, since that aspect is sometimes glossed over.

Chris B. as Vilde’s oldest friend provides a steady, comforting presence throughout. Here, Chris is an aspiring opera singer and her pieces often offer additional perspective on Vilde’s story.  

Although quite a lot of this fic is understandably angsty as Vilde is forced to confront her own internalized homophobia and self-disgust, towards the end it feels very hopeful and full of joy.

This story is a beautifully written celebration of women loving women, with tons of sapphic appeal and good feelings. 

Note: This fic is rated E

Favorite Lines:

Eva is silent for a moment. “What are girls supposed to do, then?” she asks, and she’s careful again.

Vilde does not want to have this conversation, she really doesn’t. She shrugs. “You know, dress nicely, behave, be good.” Find a boy to be with and not be creepy towards their friends.

“As opposed to?” Vilde can tell Eva wants an explanation for what she said at the park, but she can’t give her that, she can’t make Eva and Noora hate her, she can just pretend it’s nothing and go on with her life.

“As opposed to swearing, and not dressing up, not caring for yourself.” She waves her hands uselessly, and prays that Eva doesn’t ask her anymore questions.

Eva doesn’t.

nooradeservedbetter: it's pretty trashy tbh, but really well adapted to the culture as far as my italian ass can tell. i wouldn't follow it if i wasn't italian tbh tho but nooreva are really gay as for now

I DID CATCH THE GAY which makes me want to watch it and ia it’s a bit more mature but what i cannot get behind is how OLD everyone looks, it’s so distracting... the good thing though is that italian is very similar to spanish so i can understand better, it’s not just gibberish like skam or druck lmao

Skamily Love!!!!

I adore my friends so much and wanted to take some time telling my friends what I love about them and make them feel good <3 I’m so so sorry if I don’t include you, there are so many people in the skamily that later down the line I might make a part 2 :)

Esther @diablou !!!!! Ahhhhhh I’m gonna have to start it all out with you because you truly have become one of my best friends on here. Obviously I love all of my billuminati and I’m really glad we are both insomniacs so we got the chance to talk about our gay asses while we stayed up way too late and that I got to introduce you to tfc. I’m glad you learned that you don’t need to be intimidated by me because I’m just a loser who is on a lot because I hate no life :) But seriously, I love you and am so glad we got to know each other.

Mariah @bethxchilds The next billuminati member that might have been one of my first real friends in the discord chat. Nothing quite as bonding as just talking about how bi we are and running with it. I was able to dm you whenever I got frustrated about things and can always rely on you to have dumb meme humor like mine. <3

Sarina @sunflowervilde I’m not exaggerating when I say you might be the absolute sweetest person in the chat. Like you are a sunshine and even though I call you an “unofficial member” of the billuminati we all know you are billuminati, possibly the strongest of them all. *X-Files Theme Plays* I hope you start getting some sleep soon though because while I love getting to talk to you at all hours you need more sleep, love. Also is there anything more iconic than your Skamily Discord Memes? No. There isn’t.

Alyssa @thelordvoldemort Mum!!!!! My actual mum who I adore very very much!!!!! Where do I start? You are somehow both one of the kindest people I know and one of the best bitches at the same time?? Like you tell it how it is but will also comfort the hell out of us if we are even a little sad and I adore you for it. I’m so glad you are my Mum even if I am one out of 37 (even though there will probably be about 5 more by the time I post this) I’ll happily be your Katie Bug!!

Edy @lesbovilde ahhhh you are probably my oldest friend on discord and the longest lasting. I feel like I haven’t gotten to see you as much lately (but maybe it’s my imagination) which sucks BUT that doesn’t mean you aren’t still one of the ones I love The Most. We have practically the same humor and I am always very happy to see you online!!!! Basically I love u, u butt <3

Mikki @skamfairy mY Daughter!!!!!!!!! I’m so proud of everything you do!!! I don’t care that you are like 3 years older, you are my daughter whom I love. But seriously, you are a little rainbow that is purer than most and I adore having you around. Also your voice is literally adorable and I don’t think it is possible for me to listen to it without smiling. I’m really glad we get to know each other even if we live on opposite sides of the world <3

Kahled, you don’t have a tumblr but I needed to add you anyway. Honestly nothing bonds me to a person more than ranting about tv shows with someone so although I always loved you, that night where we just ranted about all of our fave shows really Bonded Us officially. I’m really glad you share my love for Mickey Milkovich and Jesse Pinkman and hope we get to continue watching shameless soon. You are a really fun person to talk to and be around and I’m just so happy you are my friend :)

Juana @jua-blackurt Love!!!!! Juana you are legit fabulous and so easy to talk to and can make me laugh till my sides hurt. Whether we are talking dumb or inappropriate shit on voice chat or streaming degrassi and shameless all hours of the night we are always having a bomb time together and I love you for it. You have an adorable personality and tbh ur hot which is a side note but it’s true. Basically I adore everything about you and theres never a dull moment when we are talking, whether it’s dildos or kinks, we keep things wild.

Ces @lazyskam my gay pal. I mean to be fair all of us are gay BUT my first thought when I think gay is usually u which,if you know me, is high praise. I love my gays. We have gotten a lot closer lately which is bomb af because I really love talking to you. I’m sorry for having a sex dream about ur family friend though srry bout that. BUT you are so fabulous keep being you and I hope we keep growing our friendship because you are an icon.

Georgie @ravenreayes ah,,, the local salt queen. Georgie you are honest to god so funny and bitter and I love it. TBH I was a little bit intimidated by you when you first joined and I’m not sure why BUT luckily I don’t feel that anymore and know you are just a hilarious shitposting dork like the rest of us. I love you even though you hate everything (don’t argue it, we all know it’s true) and hope we keep on being friends for awhile <3

Addy @lunardodie ah the chaotic good mod of the chat. Addy you are wild and I love every moment of it. You are lovely and hilarious and I am really happy we are on the chat together. There’s probably too many good addy stories to count but I’m writing this at 2 am and can’t think right now but you’ll have to trust me when I say I think ur wild. I mean ur chaos for a reason. BUT you are also sweet and fun to talk to and I am really happy that we have gotten to know each other since the first day the chat was born <3 

C @nooradeservedbetter ah my 1d pal. I was glad to find someone else on the chat who was 1d/Larry garbage and more than that I’m glad it’s you. You are a sweetheart and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me when I was in a bad mood and you just made me a shitty rainbow cool person award. I know it was a small thing but I do think about it a lot. Love ya <3

OK!! That’s everyone I’m gonna do in this post but I will most definitely make a part 2 because there are so many lovely people in this chat. I love you all so much. <3

nooradeservedbetter replied to your post: I don’t care how many people I see swear by it -...

YES THANK YOU I LOVE YOU

I just don't understand why you would do that to pasta! Why do you hate pasta when all it ever did was be there for you!! It's terrible. Just... terrible.

(Noodle dishes from other cuisines may be exempt from this, but "Italian" pasta is definitely not a one pot kind of thing.)

[weareyourfoxes]

things you said that I wasn’t meant to hear for nooreva? :3

“I just don’t like your cooking.” It’s barely a whisper as Eva jabs, jabs, jabs at her plate full of food that Noora has made for her. Noora gasps, instantly offended and Eva’s eyes widen. 

“Shit, was that out loud?” At least Eva has the decency to blush. 

Noora just sighs and sits down, elbows on the table. All she wanted to do was cook Eva something nice and healthy, since her girlfriend has just as horrible a diet as one Isak Valtersen (or maybe even worse…) and she really tried hard to cook her something nice. She wants to be mad or at least annoyed about it, but… 

How can she ever be mad at Eva when she looks at her like that? All big blue eyes and dimples and the sun beams lighting her hair on fire? How can she ever be mad at someone that beautiful?

Eva pushes the plate away from her, her arms stretching out of the table, reaching a hand for Noora to hold. 

“I’m sorry, okay? I shouldn’t have said that, but I just…”

“Don’t like anything healthy, yes, I know,” Noora says, rolling her eyes, but smiling because holding hands with Eva always gives her butterflies and it’s one of her most favorite feelings in the world.
