  2. Summary

    They love each other. That is the fundament to everything. They are all very strong willed, however, and more often than not, that guarantees some sort of mischievous behaviour.

  3. Summary

    Tasha Zapata is not good at many things. She's not good at boundaries. She's not good at making people stay, nor is she good at thinking she's enough for them to do so. She meets Claire and she is fucking sure she will not be good at letting her in.

    Summary

    "She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.

    "We're two friends having dinner."

    "At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."

    "It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."

    "You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."

    "That's not a date, that's paying attention."

    "Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.

    --

    More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

    Summary

    which is why andy desperately needs to know.

    if there’s a universe where she had the strength to say goodbye. where wanting emily isn’t this quiet persistent ache that is solely hers to carry. where it doesn’t feel like clutching at wisps of something just out of reach, trying and trying, even as they slip through her fingers.

    would that have changed anything at all. or does she still carry the cadence of emily’s voice tucked beneath her ribs -- a low and constant echo. still save voicemails, fragments of being remembered at all, and replay them like they might reveal anything more if she listens closely enough.

    Summary

    Emily realizes then, slowly and terribly, that she liked Andy - and that there was the possibility that Andy would choose Miranda over her, or worse - not like her at all.

    Or,

    Emily is a bit slow when it comes to feelings; Andy's been waiting.

    Summary

    “Mom! Mommy! This is Miss Sachs!”

    Emily stops in place, frowning.

    “Well, where is-”

    Then, a woman rises from behind the pile of folders.

    “…she.”

    Oh. Well. There she is.

    or

    Emily meets Bronwyn's teacher with no untoward personal reaction whatsoever. And again. And again. And again.

    Summary

    “Are you done?” he asks.

    “Yes.”

    “Are you sure?”

    “…Yes.”

    Nigel nods. Says, very mildly, to the wall and not to her: “You have spent half an hour telling me why he is wrong for her; and not once have you told me who you think would be right.”

    She opens her mouth.

    She closes it.

    A small, traitorous thought slips in sideways before she can shut the door on it. She shuts the door on it.

    -

    Or the one where Emily and Andrea are friends. Great friends. Best friends. Just friends.

    So why the fuck does Andrea want to pull her hair out at the thought of Emily having a boyfriend?
