Author: Clio
Title: April Is Over
Pairing: Janice Rand/Christine Chapel, with James Kirk/Leonard McCoy.
Rating: NC-17
Summary: An AU set among American expats in 1920s Paris. In Janice Rand’s experience, lesbians don't fall in love, so she puts her passion into her paintings and finds physical comforts where she can. Christine Chapel, a recently divorced socialite and accomplished hostess, hopes to recapture the magic of her first love without its problems. When their best friends become a couple, bringing them much together, the two are forced to confront their assumptions about romance, which leads them to a conclusion neither had anticipated.
Warning: None needed. A romance.
Length: 28,000 words
Notes: For startrekbigbang.
Title from the F. Scott Fitzgerald story "The Sensible Thing." Dick and Nicole Diver borrowed from Tender Is the Night, also by Fitzgerald. The story of how Kirk and McCoy meet is a true one; thanks to bhanesidhe for telling it to me. And as always, very special thanks to my beta and cheerleader, ali_wildgoose.
