This week’s micro trope for @jaeauthor.bsky.social's Sapphic Book Bingo category is “who did this to you?” Find all the books with the trope at her page: jae-fiction.com/who-did-this...

Sapphic book bingo 2025
“who did this to you?” or “who hurt you?”

Something rolled toward Persephone--a severed head, stopping just shy of her foot. She screamed at the sight of dead, glassy eyes.
“A wedding gift, for my lady wife.” Hades’ dress was soaked through with blood, clinging wetly against her body. She looked as vengeful as any of the Erinyes, her gaze haunting. “Did they hurt you?”

a vintage sailing ship in the ocean, during a sunset. Image of the book Shell Game by Benny Lawrence. Book excerpt:

He said, “My name is Hasak, and I am going to rule these islands.”

She said, “My name is Darren, and I am going to punch you in the nose.”

And this she did. Blood bubbled out juicily from Hasak’s nostrils, dribbling down his chin and fouling the front of his second-hand chain mail shirt. He staggered backwards, smashed his head against the lintel of the nearest hut, and toppled. And that was the end of another would-be overlord.

Po Lam clenched her jaw so tightly it sent shooting waves of pain into her skull. She forced herself to breathe out, to let her shoulders soften. “I’ve done terrible things. Kidnapped people. Led them to slaughter. I see their faces sometimes, in dreams, bloated and pale. Accusing.”

She dropped the suitcase, reached out, and touched Gean Choo’s face, tracing her thumb against the soft velvet of her skin. “I thought if I could only save one person… if I could save you, maybe my life would mean something.” She sighed, moving her hand to Gean Choo’s shoulder, torn between the desire to embrace her or to shake some sense into her. “Why won’t you let me save you?”
