Summary: “it seems some habits are hard to break.”
Tally emits a snort, somewhere between amused and embarrassed. “General, you of all people know how stubborn I am. I don’t change my attitude easily… when I believe it’s in the best interest of the parties involved.” A sort of AU in which our favourite power couple realises they can’t stay away from each other no matter if it’s not in their best interest.

Summary: But Sarah could feel the hole Tally had left behind, deep and hurting like the wounds she had gotten on the battlefield, if not more. It felt worse than when one of the biddies died, and Sarah bore the weight of her many years, just for a few hours until another daughter took the place.

Summary: After a rescue mission in the field goes wrong, Tally Craven is hit hardest by the failure. It isn’t just her optimism that seems to disappear overnight, but her witching vocal powers too. The small matter of General Sarah Alder being Tally Craven’s Alpha had otherwise remained strictly need-to-know at Fort Salem. So private and secret in fact that Tally Craven herself did not know of their bond—fated and sealed in all but a bite on her nape.

Summary: “What do you think?”
Sarah smiles. Smirks, almost, her lips curling up at the corners in the way that makes Tally’s stomach do backflips. She brushes her hands down the flowing yellow dress. It’s silk, the V-neck deep enough that she had left her bra behind her in the changing room. Sure enough, Sarah’s eyes track down from her exposed collarbones to the curve of her breasts, and Tally really should hate this. Being on display. Being looked at. But she doesn’t. Sarah’s gaze makes her toes curl, sends heat surging through her.
“Very nice, darling,” she says.
