Alex Vause is an English teacher who is gradually losing love for everything around her. When Piper Chapman is hired as her new colleague, Alex's life lights up. (I can't write these summaries without them sounding clichéd as s***, so here's the facts: slow burn, plenty of exposition. Sexual content coming up, some bad language. Prompts from Vausemaniac and Jamie Jay.)

AU. Alex runs a Burlesque bar and Piper happens to stumble on a show night. The usual suspects pop up to throw complications in the way of their immediate connection. Vauseman good times are on their way...which means a change in rating down the track. Long time reader, first time publisher. Gulp!

Piper and Alex Boarding School AU. Piper starts at Litchfield Academy her sophomore year, where she's assigned the previously vacant half of the dorm room belonging to Alex Vause - resident scholarship kid and purveyor of contraband substances to most of the student population.

AU Vauseman / Piper and Alex dating, starts with their first sexy time and chronicles the beginning of their new relationship

Dr. Chapman is a leading neurosurgeon completely focused on her career, with no time for life's frivolities. Alex, a paramedic, is a frivolity the good doctor finds herself making time for. Vauseman plays doctor. T for now but M is coming. Excuse the pun. Ps. Slooooow burn.

Alex is the caretaker for multiple summer homes on Sand Point Road, and Piper is one of the resident's daughters. Alternate universe.

AU. Multi-chapter fluff fest. Piper's a teacher, Alex a bar owner. No drugs, no Litchfield, just life. Vauseman, so could get decidedly M in later chapters.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring with a high school fic-Alex is the teacher, Piper is the student. What happens when there's an attraction that cannot be acted upon?
