I'm trying to write something full length! I'm motivated to start a side project from my school work now that I'm done with this year's exams.
If you've read my other stuff, then yes, oneshots will still be published. I'm also thinking of turning oneshots #4 & #8 (the teenage 'verse) into a full length fic packed with love, lust, and fluff just as some Vauseman withdrawal. If you're interested, do let me know. Thank you!
Here's the idea I've had for a while being turned into a fic. Apologies for any errors.
WARNING: for this chapter, nothing too explicit, just slight teasing.
Slow start, I know.
Fic title taken from a lyric from the song 'Red' by Catfish and the Bottlemen.

They'd managed to finally overcome their problems. It took a while, but they happened. Eventually.
Piper got out of prison first- although her panty business was outed to Caputo and she got an extra two and a half years on the nine months she had left. By the time she got out, Alex still had a year and a half, however her sentence was somehow shorter this time around, and she was on good behaviour. Piper had promised Alex she'd wait for her- that she'd get an apartment and a job, and to make sure she was stable by the time Alex got out.
Lorna got out roughly the same time Piper had, and they lived together in the apartment Piper's father had set up for her for a while, until Lorna moved in with Vince. They were very close friends even after Lorna moved out.
Nicky came back from Max on good behaviour, and she was reluctant to admit she was upset when she found out that Morello was tied down. She was just happy Lorna didn't take his name in the end. Nicky and Alex looked out for each other, and became the best friends they used to be. They didn't mention the happenings at a certain Christmas. Nicky would be out in seven months, and Lorna was secretly ecstatic.
Alex, with help from Lolly, got rid of Aydin. They were fine for a while, as Caputo couldn't find a main suspect for the newly-hired guard's disappearance. Eventually, Caputo put two and two together, and with little evidence (but more than everyone else), Lolly was sent to Maximum Security with an extended sentence. Alex had a feeling they wouldn't see each for at least a very long time.
Stella was also sent to Maximum Security, with a ridiculous amount of time added to her stay in prison. She was pissed at Piper, but she was guilty, even if she had been framed for the contraband. Alex smirked as she found out Piper had got rid of her.
It took a while for Alex to trust Piper again. After her sentence was extended, she calmed down, and her little power trip was over. The inmates that knew Piper and were close to her were glad to have the old Piper back, the Piper that could have some control and could stand her ground, but wasn't the overpowered Piper.
Alex was more than happy to have that Piper back. Piper apologised over and over for not believing in the brunette. The blonde was loving, she showed affection and began to really become friends with those whom she was close to. Alex was happy to see this Piper again, the Piper she fell in love with. Her Pipes.
Piper got out around her birthday, and as a result her father gave her the one thing he'd been reluctant to give her since she landed herself in prison; her very own bookstore. He'd chosen the name of course- and because Bill didn't know who the fuck Piper would ever marry (if), he didn't anyone else's surname to the title. In the end, it was settled as Chapman & Co. (C&C, for short).
She'd been out for just over a year, and she'd made an easy living from the bookstore, how? She never knew. Taystee and Poussey had got out of prison within a few months of each other, and as they found Piper, the blonde didn't hesitate to hire the women at her store as staff. They were ecstatic and extremely excited to start their jobs.
Within the year or so she'd been free, she'd visited Alex every week, occasionally swapping out a visit with Alex for Nicky. (But only very occasionally). Piper sent letters and packages filled with books, and even a few photos she'd kept from when they were together to Alex once or twice a week. Letters were sent to Nicky quite often when she realised the crazy bitch was back from Max.

Piper drove up to Litchfield on a particular Saturday with a huge smile on her face. She'd never expected to be this happy when driving away from her bookstore or her fresh apartment in the city to go to a prison, but Alex was getting out today, and she would never be going back there.
As she wandered into the main area, she saw the dreaded waiting area that she'd sat in when she arrived at Litchfield for the first time over three years ago. Bell and Maxwell were in the front office, presumably checking paperwork and going over the releases.
"Ah, Chapman. Good to see you again," Wanda Bell raised an eyebrow and smirked slightly. "You turning yourself in again?"
"Of course." Piper did like a few of the COs, some of them just had a certain vibe.
"I see your sarcasm hasn't changed a bit. I'll get Vause." And she disappears.
"So, your girl is out today, huh? Big day." Maxwell smiled at Piper. "And do us all a favour, don't come back to this shithole of a prison. Either of you."
"Visitation?" Piper asked, keeping her eyes on the gate that Bell had exited out of.
"Nichols will be out soon, kid. Don't worry."
"Hard to say about a fucking prison." Maxwell laughed at Piper's honesty and carried on with paperwork.
Piper hates the memories of this area of the prison. It reminds her too much of the hours she spent here waiting to turn herself in. It's one of the many things she doesn't ever want to remember.
"Any of you driving to the city? I need a ride out of this shitty place." Piper hears the voice and jerks her head up, grinning at the sight of her girlfriend stood in the clothes she'd brought down to the prison for her.
"Alex," Piper grins wide, standing up and practically running to her girlfriend.
They're embracing before they can even process another thought, lips searching and finding each other's in a searing kiss. "Get me the fuck out of here."
After signing the last few documents, Alex is officially a free woman. She takes Piper's hand as soon as they leave the prison and laces their fingers together. "I love that I can do that without being shanked by a creepy, rapist CO."
"Mendez could be out of prison." Piper laughs at her as she glances at their locked hands, before smiling brightly.
Alex shivers at the very thought.
"Where to first?" Piper questions as they get in the car.
Alex doesn't reply.
Instead, she leans across the centre console, gripping Piper's face and locking her fingers through the blonde strands before connecting their lips. The kiss is powerful and Alex knows it as she takes control, sweeping her tongue across Piper's lower lip and meeting Piper's in a familiar dance.
They lean their foreheads together as they break the kiss for air a while later, breathing heavily at the urgency of the kiss. "Fuck."
"I've missed that." Alex admits, her fingers tracing Piper's jaw.
"Mmm…me too," Piper kisses Alex again, this time sweetly before pulling away and starting the car.
"So, food now and then back to my apartment?" Piper asks, pulling out of Litchfield.
"Mmm," Alex confirms, watching as she leaves prison behind. Alex spends a few minutes trying to calm herself down after the intense kiss with Piper. After so long of not being able to touch Piper so intimately without guards watching like hawks, Alex wanted to take things to the next level. As much as she wanted to just spend time with her girlfriend, they hadn't had sex in over a year, and Alex was desperate.
They stop at a quiet restaurant halfway between the apartment and the prison, and Piper forces Alex to order whatever and however much she wants. Alex complies, but is more preoccupied with the blonde sat opposite her. "How's Lorna?"
"Good. She's coming to see you soon, Al," Piper tells her.
"I look forward to it. Y'know Nicky is still hung up on her?" Alex sighs at the thought before looking to Piper for her answer.
"I know. Lorna misses her though." Piper informs her. "And I've missed you."
Alex looks away from her food and glances up at Piper. "How much?"
"Too fucking much," Piper groans quietly.
"I've missed you too, babe." Alex admits quietly.
"Let's go?" Piper smiles, pays for the meal and they leave to go back to Piper's apartment.

As Piper drives back to the apartment she can feel Alex staring at her. She leave it for a while to see if she looks away, but she never does. "Al?"
"Mm?" Alex answers, continuing to look at her girlfriend.
"I feel like you're staring a hole into my soul. What are you thinking about?" Piper asks. She reaches a hand over to Alex and locks their fingers together before bringing their linked hands toward her and placing a soft kiss on the back of Alex's hand. They drop their hands back down, but their fingers stay laced together.
"I'm thinking about how long it'll take to make you come all over my tongue," Alex husks sensually.
Piper clenches her thighs together. "Don't tempt me to pull over."
Alex smirks slightly and doesn't reply, instead she moves her gaze from Piper's body to their linked hands and begins making soft, soothing circles on Piper's hand with her thumb. "We're really doing this, huh? For real this time."
"What?" Piper knows what Alex is hinting at, but she needs the confirmation first. She didn't expect Alex to bring it up, at least not this soon.
"Us. We're trying again, all strings attached, you're really my girlfriend again." Alex seems amazed that they've come this far, and after all the shit they've been through, they're really going to try again.
"Yes. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I am yours and you are mine. Again. Officially."
"Did you ever expect this?"
"Before I saw you again in Litchfield, no. Although even in Litchfield it was more of a hope, but I was a pussy that was too afraid to commit to you." Piper laughed slightly. "But now I'm fully committed to you, babe."
"You mean that?" Alex felt her heart melt. She knew Piper better than anyone, and she knew that this was completely true.
Piper nods, chancing a glance at the raven haired woman and smiling. "Of course."
"So is this the right time to tell you I love you?" Alex grins back, squeezing Piper's hand.
"It's always the right time to tell me that. I love you." Piper says back. "And lucky for you, my apartment is 2 minutes away so you can show me exactly how much you love me."
"Honestly Pipes, that sounds sweet and all but I need a rough and dirty fuck first if that's alright with you. I haven't came in months."
"Awhhhh poor baby. Holding out for you girlfriend?" Piper teased, letting their hands loose and rubbing Alex's thigh innocently.
"You're an ass." Alex laughs. She's missed this, their teasing and casual laughter. Piper makes her feel safe, happy, without a care in the world."
"You love my ass." Piper comments.
"I do."
"Damn, I know you're committed but that's way too soon for you."
Alex rolls her eyes and links their fingers again. "I can't believe I have to deal with you."
Home.
That's what love is like, Alex thinks.
It's like coming home.
Yo if you want a quick start with some smut in the next chapter tell me. Thanks ;)
