Carmilla and Laura love going to cons. Laura because she is a nerd and she loves meeting other people. So when both women show up to cons unintentionally wearing costumes as the two halves of ships, fans constantly push the two together assuming that they came together....

[A/N: The dates of this con is not accurate. ClexaCon is actually very new. Just thought I should point that out...]

ClexaCon, 2014, and Laura has shown up as one of her favourite TV show characters. Cosima Heihuas. She smiled as people complimented her costume that she spent over a week trying to put together. The hair was the hardest part, she underestimated just how difficult it was to make dreadlocks look real on a wig. But still, her costume was pretty spectacular, and she was happy to see other people thought so as well.

Carmilla was at the exact same con, and she was there as one of her favourite characters. Delphine Cormier. And she felt very proud when people complimented her on her costume, which she spent over a month on. Do you realise how hard it is to make the wavy, blonde hair look legit? It's difficult. Especially when you are hiding long, raven hair underneath it. Carmilla takes a lot of pride in her work in costuming, and she was consumed by her pride when she saw that other people were impressed by her work.

But when both women bumped into each other in the crowd, and a group of about 20 people begged them for pictures of the two together, the women shrugged and put an arms around each other's waists. Desperately choosing different camera lenses to look into and smiling at each. When the crowd dispersed, the two took a deep breath and looked at each other, admiring the others work. "Nice costume!" The two complimented at the same time, causing them both to chuckle and giggle. "Well, like I was saying, nice costume! I don't know many other people who watch Orphan Black, so it's cool to see a fellow person who enjoys cosplaying that also likes the show. I should go now though, I hope to see you around!" Laura exclaims, waving goodbye to Carmilla, who stands there, watching her leave. 'She was really cute..'

ClexaCon, 2015, and Laura finds herself once again dressed as one of her favourite TV show characters. Alex Danvers. Which is ironic, considering Alex is quite tall....and Laura is tiny. Nevertheless, her costume of the DEO agent in her uniform was incredible, and people noticed. Laura actually got more compliments than she did last year, which was saying a lot.

Carmilla also finds herself back at the con, dressed as her favourite Supergirl character as well. Maggie Sawyer. And her situation was similar for her costume. Pride, flattery, and happiness surged through her with each compliment. And Carmilla smirked, smiled and grinned with each massive compliment made about her work.

And, just like last year, Laura and Carmilla bumped into each other in a crowd, but before the group of fans could surround them, the two smiled in recognition. "Hey! I remember you! It's really nice to see you again, nice work with the costume again. It's down to the last detail!" Laura complemented with a kind smile, which Carmilla matched. "Thanks. I did work hard on it. But, do you see this irony? I'm taller than you, yet in the show Maggie is shorter." Carmilla chuckled, and Laura heartedly laughed back. "That's very true. I'm Laura." The blonde extended her hand to Carmilla who smirked and took the offered hand. "Carmilla. I guess I'm your girlfriend today, sweetheart." Carmilla winked, which caused Laura to blush a little despite her massive grin. "Well Carmilla, here comes the photo requests." Laura wrapped her arm around Carmilla's shoulder, while Carmilla put one arm on Laura's waist and the other with her hand on her own hip. Laura grinned, while Carmilla smirked. Posing for all the pictures that were asked of them to  take.

ClexaCon, 2016, and...you guessed it! Laura is back. This time as Waverly Earp. Everyone's favourite little baby gay from Wynonna Earp. And yes, her costume was absolutely amazing, every detail was done down to the T in accuracy. It seemed that her costumes where getting better every year. And with every compliment, every picture, and every thumbs up sent her direction, Laura smiled and thought about who she would like to hear from about her costume this year. Carmilla. The raven haired girl who made her feel like she was floating on a cloud when they talked. She truly hoped that they would meet again.

Luckily for her, Carmilla was back at the con. And she was there as Nicole Haught. And Carmilla was starting to re-think her decision, and thought that it really was a lot of work to hide hair such a dark brown that it its basically black, behind a wig that was red [A/N: Is anyone else confused as to why it is called red hair when it's orange? No? Just me? Okay...] and made into a braid. It was really difficult. But, the costume was brilliant. And Carmilla with an officer's uniform on? Girls, watch out. Because it is very, very attractive.

And that's exactly what Laura thinks when the two meet each other again. They exchange pleasantries, compliment each other's costume, and take pictures. And with every glance at Carmilla in a uniform, Laura's gayness intensifies.

But for Carmilla, every time Laura gets distracted, grins or just speaks, her gayness intensifies.

The two are already developing a crush on each other. So when Carmilla offers Laura her number, she's almost faints. "You....you want me to have your number? You-you actually want to...o-okay." Laura stammers and stutters, her hands are shaking as she takes out her phone so that Carmilla can put her number in. The two say goodbye after Laura promises to text Carmilla.

The two exchange messages and phone calls every day, video chats once a month at first. After the first 3 months, the two were video chatting almost every day, and when they couldn't video chat, they were calling each other, and when they couldn't call each other, they were texting continuously.

But, once it hit the month before ClexaCon was coming for 2017, the two agreed to not video chat in order to not give away their costumes. They already knew they had a knack for choosing the same one, but they still wanted to check if it would actually work again.

That didn't stop Laura from trying to figure it out though.

[A/N: Laura Lane is Laura's contact name on Carmilla's phone, and Kitty Carm is Carmilla's contact name on Laura's phone]

Laura Lane: The wig for my costume this year is kicking my butt. Help me 😩

Kitty Carm: Aww, poor little wanna-Buffy. I'll have you know there is a particular part of my costume that is kicking my ass too, so as much as I wish I could go over to you to help, I can't. Can't see the costumes until the con, remember cutie?

Laura Lane: Ugh, why not? I mean, the con is two weeks away, we have no time to change our costumes rn. Pweeeaaassseee 😇

Kitty Carm: You have no pouting power over text. Hah! No can do, Sundance. You have to wait 😏

Laura Lane: .....you are insufferable 😠

Kitty Carm: That little bunched up face you make when you're angry is hilarious, buttercup

Laura Lane: .......I'm going to go back to working in my consume since my attempt at figuring yours out has failed. Talk to you later Carm

Kitty Carm: Later love 😘

Kitty Carm: NO 😉* ignore that last emoji

Laura Lane: Too late 😉 goodnight Carm

ClexaCon, 2017, and there Laura was. All eyes on her in her Clarke Griffin costume, and this year she had gotten the most pictures and compliments taken of her ever. She was getting slightly overwhelmed, especially since the entire time she was trying to find where the crowd migrated to afterwards. She guessed someone had an incredible costume, and she smiled as she imagined it as Carmilla whom the costume belonged to.

And she was right.

Carmilla stood high and mighty in her Lexa costume. She had spent over two months on it, and the hardest part was hiding it from Laura. Laura, the only girl she really wanted to see today, but was struggling to find. The reason for this struggle? The crowd that swarmed her trying to get a look and a picture at her in her costume. It was perfect. Even the tiniest details, such as starches in armor, were there. Every single thing that would usually be disregarded, was in the costume. Carmilla knew how important it was to get it perfect, the look of such an important and influential character. Lexa was a character that meant so much to everyone and she got tossed to the side in a disappointing and hurtful death. So Carmilla wanted to get it completely right, and she did.

It took an hour for the crowds to disperse enough that Carmilla and Laura could find each other. They texted and agreed they would meet in the middle of the building, as usual. So when the two ran to that area, it took about a millisecond for them to find each other. And they both walked to each other slowly, observing and admiring the other's costume. They were both perfect.

"Wow. And I thought the police uniform was attractive..." Laura gushed as the two eat in the middle. "Not so bad yourself cupcake." Carmilla smirked. Laura took Carmilla into a tight hug, a year was a long time to not have physical contact with someone you love so much.

That's right, Laura loves her. They had both been crushing on each other since 2016, but Laura had fallen in love with the girl very quickly. And she hoped to all the gods above that Carmilla at least liked her as more than a friend.

Something of which she really doesn't have to worry about.

"Someone's missed seeing me in person." Carmilla chuckled, giving Laura one last squeeze before holding her at arms length. Laura looked to her feet and blushed, but nodded anyway. "I did miss seeing you Carm.." She admitted, and Carmilla smiled at the response. A type of smile that only Laura had been able to bring on, and Carmilla still wasn't quite used to it.

Very soon, the usual crowds came along to ask for pictures, except this time, with the request for the two to kiss. Everyone thought the two were together anyway, with the coordinated costumes the past 3 years. Laura looked incredibly nervous, not wanting to force Carmilla into anything she didn't want to do. But, before Laura could protest the crowd's request, Carmilla was snaking her hand around the back of Laura's neck and pulling her into a kiss.

At first Laura was surprised, not responding straight away. But as soon as she got her senses about her, she melted into Carmilla's lips, her hand flying to Carmilla's waist to pull her closer.

The two didn't even hear the crowd cheering, the two didn't pay attention to anything but them. The way soft lips moved against their's, the way the two desperately tried to keep the other close, the way tongues slipped between parted lips and met in fights for dominance until breath was desperately needed.

Laura and Carmilla both really loved going to cons.

But they loved being with each other more, and now that they are certain of their feelings for each other. They can do just that. Be together.
