♪ stealing kisses from your missus, does it make you freak out~
you probably came here from Sappho's bio, so you already know that this is lesbian fanfiction i wrote in like, 2018. It's old as hell and isn't written well and the links probably don't work anymore, but I don't have the heart to delete it. These two brought me a lot of joy back in the day, and according to the PMs I *still* get about it, to others too.

Solanio is no stranger to unwanted male attention. Ever since she became of age, her beautiful fur was a flytrap for lions wishing to court her. At first, she thought she just hadn't met the right guy yet, and that some strong lion would capture her heart. And at long last, someone did. With one slight twist: it was a lioness.
She was always having to come up with excuses to avoid the truth- she simply wasn't interested in males. One particularly... demanding male didn't take her rebuff lightly. Frustrated, the brute chased her down through a storm, insistent on making her his own.
Terrified, Solanio cowered in a small cave she stumbled upon, sodden with rainwater. She anxiously awaited her inevitable discovery, watching as the male began to approach her hiding spot. Quick as a flash, a streak of brown raced in front of his nose, prompting him to follow. The race continued as Solanio watched, leading the male on a wild goose chase that he had no chance of winning.
Once the male gave up and left to flex his muscles at some other lioness, the streak slowed to a brisk trot, making it's way back to the cave. Solanio nearly whimpered in frustration- surely this lion was here to finish what the other had started! But as the shape got closer, she realized her assumption was dead wrong. Despite not being the one to have ran a marathon, Solanio was the one left breathless at the sight of the creature in front of her. In the closer light, she realized two things: it was a lioness that had saved her, and her disinterest in males was not based on finding the right one. As if a homosexual deity smiled down at her, the sun shone through the clouds to create a prismatic rainbow, shimmering over the gorgeous lioness in front of her.
Despite all the water around them, Solanio felt her mouth go dry as she admired the smooth lines of the lioness' muscles, covered by soft fur that was slicked down from the rain. She could practically hear her own heart thudding in her ears, and hoped that the lioness couldn't hear it as well.
Once pleasantries were exchanged, in addition to fervent gratitude for being her knight in shining armor, the two spent the night cuddling under the stars getting to know each other. And the next night. And the night after that. Kayla, her savior, eventually had to return to her pride, but made promises to return to her secret lover.
Since then, Solanio has wasted no time in accepting her discovered sexuality. Her king, surprisingly, also accepted this quite willingly: she was quite the hunter, even if she wasn't going to reproduce. Occasionally, he must chase a smitten male away from her, but that's just the price to pay.

The ground rumbled softly. After the earthquakes, aftershocks were still spreading through the territory. The earth around her was scarred in huge ravines as if it was scored directly from Apedemak's claws. She glanced nervously around the destroyed area, her eyes settling on a strange object protruding from the ground. Making her way towards the obelisk looming threateningly over a deep pit, she noticed that on the other side lay an unblocked entrance to some sort of tunnel. Another tremor from the ground knocked the tower over right in front of her, the stone nearly landing on top of her paws. It landed securely on the ledge of the temple. Solanio turned to head back towards her pride, but her paws simply wouldn't listen. As if tugged by an unseen thread, she found herself making her way closer to the ominous entrance. Despite the blazing heat, it was rather cool inside the tunnel and she welcomed the cold sand on her worn paw pads. Deeper she went into the twisted labyrinth until she was drawn to a halt. There, ahead of her, sat a terrifyingly beautiful creature; a full head larger than Solanio but still held with a regal grace, a pelt as pure dark as the night sky spotted with soft golden specks, an intricate golden necklace subtly indicating royalty and power, and piercing gold eyes. The lithe feline in front of her spoke in a soft, beautiful voice, entirely unexpected given her intimidating size. "You've finally arrived, Solanio. I've had my eyes on you for awhile now." She purred.
"Wh-what? Who are you? How do you know who I am?" Solanio could barely speak above a whisper, nearly in a trance at the dizzying beauty and insane situation.
A soft chuckle slips out of the strange cat's mouth. "Of course, my apologies. My name is Bastet, and as I said, I have been looking for you." She stood up, circling the stunned lioness. "You see, it is time for us to return to the living world, but it seems in my slumber my speaker has deserted me." Reaching Solanio's front again, her tail slipping under her chin sensually. "And you seem quite fit for the job."
Solanio found her voice again. "What makes me qualified?" She asked, mystified.
Again, that soft chuckle that made Solanio's knees weak. "For one, you already know many lionesses who would benefit from my words. Second, you yourself live by my ideals- the protection of females, felines, and lady lovers everywhere. Third," she paused, leaning in until her muzzle was barely a whisker from Solanio's ear and her voice dropping to a whisper, "there are some... other perks to the job."
"And if I don't want to?" She challenged.
Bastet drew away, frowning. "I would never force you to be anything you don't want to be. No harm will come of you if you walk away from my offer." She sat down again, turning away before Solanio can notice the flash of hurt in her eyes.
Confidence growing, Solanio took a step closer. "Then I accept."
In the blink of an eye, Solanio found herself on her back, staring up into the golden eyes of the mysterious goddess. "Then I think I should show you your... duties." Bastet purred with a wink.
~
It had been many seasons, and Solanio felt her youth slipping away. Her pelt sagged, no longer as bright as her personality. On the plus side, she could tell when it was going to rain based on her bones creaking, so she supposed that was cool. One had to keep positive, after all. She had spent the last few seasons spreading the word of her mistress Bastet, and while she loathe to leave her lovers she knew she had one more waiting in the heavens.
She had been dozing in the sun, enjoying the last few days before her hunting patrol, when she was awoken by an onyx jackal. He cleared his throat and shuffled his paws awkwardly. "I-it's time, Solanio. My name is Anubis, and I will be accompanying you. Since you worked under Bastet, you're getting the," he stopped and gestured with his paw. "...whole shebang?"
Solanio leapt to her feet- as much as she could with her aching muscles. "No, there must be a mistake. I'm not ready to go!" Icy fear gripped her heart.
The canine flinched. "You have to. I apologize, but.." He trailed off.
Suddenly, they were showered in a golden light. A familiar feline leaped out of a tear in the sky, a portal fringed with pale yellow clouds. "Oh, I'm so glad I got here in time!" Bastet panted, catching her breath and affectionately nuzzling Solanio. "Sekhmet mentioned Anubis was on his way, but I didn't make the connection." She turned to the canid in question. "I'm sorry for making you walk all this way, but while you're here may you be my witness." Bastet turned her dark muzzle towards the sky. "I am here to share my light with this lioness."
Anubis flicked his ears impatiently. "You can't be serious. You know how dangerous that is, correct? Is she really worth it?"
Bastet's eyes flashed dangerously. "Are you challenging me?" She maintained her fierce gaze until he turned away, giving in. Turning to Solanio, she began to explain. "As a protector of the sun, I have powers your kind could never dream of. This includes sharing my light with you. It is an old tradition, similar to marriage, but... Deeper. Your life thread will be entwined with mine, so that you may share some of my strength. It was typically used for weddings between gods, and as such I'm not sure how it would affect you. But, with your consent, I would like to try." She stepped closer, her nose nearly touching Solanio's.
"Marriage? I- you-" The lioness stuttered, glancing towards where Sappho lay, seemingly frozen in time.
Bastet followed her gaze, chuckling warmly. "Don't worry, my sweet. I'm not asking you to be monogamous. You've too much love in that heart to be loved by only me. As I said, it is deeper than marriage. It is the twining of our fates, the sharing of our strengths."
Solanio relaxed, pushing her muzzle into the soft shoulder fur of her lover with a purr. "If I am to die anyways, then yes. We can only try."
With that, Bastet began the ceremony. The words were too ancient for Solanio to understand, but she got enough information from the love shining in the feline's golden eyes. Once the words were spoken, Solanio felt the air rush from her lungs, as if an elephant had sat on her chest. Next to her, Bastet seemed to be suffering a similar condition, but there wasn't pain in her gaze. Only adoration.
The sky darkened, sending them into pure darkness before erupting with soft light. Just as Solanio's vision began to darkened from lack of oxygen, she felt the light enter her lungs. Her aches and pains melted away, her pelt tightened to fit her frame again, her cracked paw pads mended and softened. She felt almost as if she were a cub again, chasing butterflies and pretty girls. Behind her, she could hear Anubis yipping in fascination- something about taking notes and conducting experiments. What a nerd.
The excess light faded from the sky, leaving Solanio feeling better than she had in seasons. A rumbled purr next to her shook her from her thoughts.
"It worked, my love. Our strings are entwined, lengthened in their shared strength. You are young again, and will stay so. "

Solanio indeed has many girlfriends, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love them. She has a big heart for all of her lovely ladies, and makes sure any prospecting feline is aware of her harem of love. She spends time with all of them, and cares deeply for her companions.
Solanio met Kayla when she first discovered her sexuality, the two frequently visit each other. Their prides aren't located too far, so on quiet nights Solanio sneaks into her lover's den for some cuddles and conversation.
Spectre captured Solanio's attention on a long hunting trip, her distinctive coloring rendering her nearly useless in the greenery of rainy season. With a few paws-on 'pointers', she's much better at hunting. At least, in the areas bordering Solanio's, if you catch her drift. She lives a nomadic life and can't visit often, but she'll always hold a piece of Solanio's heart anyways.
Badger stumbled upon this lesbian goddess whilst exploring her territory, fascinated with the easy confidence Solanio carried herself with. Her dark fur lended her the cover she needed to sneak into her lovers den while her king wasn't watching. They had to say goodbye too early, but they spend some time together while they can afford the time.
Qetesh was introduced to her posse through Spectre, interestingly enough. On a day that the nomadic pride settled near her again, Qetesh was brought along to their reunion. Qetesh had heard stories of this 'lesbian messiah', but when she met her for real, she (to no one's surprise) was smitten. Already mates with Spectre, transitive property states that she was also dating Solanio- not that she minded, of course. She settled fast into the group of lovers, partially because she knew she would have to leave soon, but partially because she was already aware of the lifestyle, and more than willing to share her loves.
Tinx met her during another long hunt, and was quickly enraptured by her. She admired the pure love she almost seemed to radiate, and was happy to accept her invitation to her cool cats club. She unfortunately lives quite the distance away, but Solanio's king doesn't mind allowing her time to visit all of her 'friends.'
Rose, on the other hand, was met during a raid. During the poaching season, Solanio's king called for help against an attacking poacher, when she got seperated from the rest of the group. Disoriented, she wandered aimlessly, her typical easy confidence replaced with worry. A rustle in the bush startled the fur off of her, until she realized it was a lioness behind her. She turned on her charm, and was pointed towards home- that is, after they were finished getting to know each other.
Lady Tenshi has her own lady, and while she's loyal to a fault, she's (consensually, of course- the only way Solanio plays) enjoying the occasional company of Solanio. Her striking looks and strange ears drew Solanio's attention, but her warm personality is what really caught her.
add
Of course, the lover she can spend the most time with is in her own pride. Sappho, the future monarch of the pride, wormed her way into Solanio's heart. The two spend quiet nights under the stars, when she can afford to get away from her training.
