Against a papery green backdrop, with the green-and-gold, sword-and-floral book cover for Her Pretty Knight, the #lesficfri quote for "Remember" is: Galeon should leave. She should turn away. Instead, she watched. And she listened. And she wanted. Galeon’s breathing quickened, matching Della’s. She was somehow painfully aware of her own body while feeling separated from it. She was standing closer than she had been. She didn’t remember moving.

Shows a pink paper and watercolor texture background, and the burgundy-and-gold cover for Her Blushing Hero featured a basket of bread and a sword and florals. #lesficfri "smell" Quote: As Lola held the flame close, they bent their heads together. Lola smelled of her bakery, along with something floral and pretty, like the garden after a rain.

Shows the blue and gold book cover for Her Lovely Champion, Sapphic Lady Knights Book Two by Mariah Rae Birch, on a watercolor and paper texture background. #lesficfri "nervous" Quote: Kaylen’s hand skimmed down to Eliza’s hip, leaving a trail of fire. The music faded and Eliza’s heartbeat replaced the rhythm. Eliza forgot to move her feet and they stumbled as Kaylen stepped into her. “Sorry,” they both muttered together. Eliza laughed again, suddenly nervous, her body extremely aware of Kaylen’s as their chests brushed.

Image shows a soft blue background featuring the blue and gold book cover for Her Lovely Champion by Mariah Rae Birch #lesficfri "wish" Quote: Wordlessly, Sir Kaylen moved to help, her fingers also unsteady but more effective. Eliza stilled as the backs of the knight’s knuckles grazed the skin of her neckline and then dipped a trail down beneath the lacing, efficiently loosening the gown to Eliza’s navel. Eliza’s belly swooped. She wished her skin weren’t so numb so she could feel the sensation better.

Shows a green wash background with cover of "Her Pretty Knight" Sapphic Lady Knights Book One, by Mariah Rae Birch. #lesficfri "Laugh" Quote: Watching Della with the other nobles that evening filled Galeon with something dark and ugly. It simmered when Della laughed with the stunning Lady Clayton. The lady placed a delicate hand on Della’s bare shoulder, leaning in and murmuring in Della’s ear. Della smiled and didn’t pull away. Galeon felt every bit the poor, dirty blacksmith she’d once been as the faded heat of the day clung to her skin in salty dampness beneath her shirt.

#lesficfri "danger" Quote: When they’d first met, Sir Hildith barely spoke, and Lola had thought the lady disliked her. But it became apparent quickly it wasn’t dislike Sir Hildith carried. Both flattering and dangerous, Lola couldn’t deny she enjoyed the attention. What was a little harmless crush? Her Blushing Hero, Sapphic Lady Knights Book Three Coming soon @mariahraebirch

Light patterned background with leaf designs. Shows book cover for Her Pretty Knight by Mariah Rae Birch, green colorscheme with a sword and floral accents. #lesficfri "lips". Quote: Della leaned in. At the last moment, Galeon turned her head, so Della’s lips brushed Galeon’s cheek in the shadow of a thwarted kiss. Still, the feeling of her skin and the scent of her, clean and metallic, made Della hum. “We shouldn’t,” Galeon said, her voice rough.

Shows a blue and gold book cover, with sword, crown, and floral elements. Her Lovely Champion by Mariah Rae Birch, Sapphic Lady Knights Book Two. #lesficfri prompt of "Smell". Quote: The weight of Sir Kaylen’s cloak hung around Eliza’s shoulders, unfamiliar and comforting, like a sort of hug. It smelled of damp wool, moss, and something Eliza could not name.

#lesficfri "stare". Cover of Her Lovely Champion by Mariah Rae Birch. Quote: Being free was incredible, and frightening, but Sir Kaylen stood sturdily beside her. The sun broke through the temperamental clouds and highlighted the woman’s fiery hair, catching the frizz and turning into a glowing aura. Eliza had to force herself to look away, or she might have stood there and stared for the rest of the afternoon.

#lesficfri "Excite" Book cover for HER LOVELY CHAMPION by Mariah Rae Birch Quote: Eliza tugged at the arm she held. “What’s your name?” The knight cleared her throat and sheathed her sword. “Sir Kaylen, Your Highness. At your service.” She bowed again. Sir Kaylen. What a wonderful name. The woman’s accent was a strange mix of rough and lilting, and the most beautiful sound Eliza had heard in years. Eliza vibrated with excitement.
