"Home isn't where you're from, it's where you find light when all grows dark." For Nicky Nichols, home was a concept that was lost on her. For Galina Reznikov, home was far away from where she stood now. But together, at home was all they felt. Completely AU.

Series of one shots about Red and Nicky.

Nicky allowed herself to laugh at the advice and found that unlike before, air found its own way into her lungs rather than her fighting for it. Breathing was easier when Red was around. She tore her gaze from the baggie poking out of Red's pocket and focused on her face, surprising even herself. It was easier with Red around. Everything was. Red/Nicky

Christmas had arrived in Litchfield. "Just another day, right?" Nicky said, her voice hoarse. Red was determined that it wouldn't be just another day for her girl, and would do anything to prove it. Fluffy one-shot.

Nicky is sick and bratty. Red is compassionate, loving and slightly annoyed.

Red does something that brings Nicky back to her dark past. Can Nicky forgive Red?

So okay; it took them both a while to find their way with each other, and they weren't so good with communicating at times but it worked. They were Red and Nicky- Ma and little girl big mouth; perfect together.
