    Summary

    She breathes in before she can stop herself. Deep, unmistakable, the kind of inhale that has nothing to do with reading a paragraph.
    Emily freezes.
    She pulls back fast, turns, and stares at Andy with her eyes gone wide, something close to panic behind them, like she's just been caught at something far worse than sitting too close to a coworker.
    "Em," Andy starts.
    "No." Emily's already standing, already reaching for her bag, voice gone thin and fast. "Andrea. No."
    And then she's gone, out the door and into the street like the building's on fire behind her, and Andy is left sitting alone at a table built for four, completely alone, with a half-finished paragraph, a caramel frappe gone warm, and the specific, useless realisation that she misses Emily. Badly. Actively. In a way she hasn't let herself feel in twenty years, and can't, apparently, stop feeling now that she's started.

     

    Or: Andy catalogues fifteen things that have changed in Emily's life, except that they haven't changed at all. Not really.

    Summary

    Because she always wants to hear everything from Emily. Except, apparently, this.

    “I met someone.”

    Andy blinks. Once. Twice.

    Her fingers tighten fractionally around the stem of her wine glass. She swallows. Pulls in a breath that feels strangely shallow in her lungs.

    “That’s great, Em,” she means to say immediately. Brightly, effortlessly. “Tell me everything.”

    Instead, what comes out is small and terribly honest.

    “Oh.”

    Summary

    “Have you ever been in love?”

    It would’ve been best if she had lied. That’s probably what she should’ve done.

    “Yes, I have”, Emily confessed.

    Andrea sighed. A small, brief sigh. Emily heard it, still.

    “How many times?”

    Emily bit the inside of her cheek. She brought the glass to her lips and took a single sip of the wine inside of it. “Only once.”

    (Emily Charlton spends twenty years in love with Andrea Sachs. And has never once thought Andrea might’ve ever loved her back. Until that moment comes, and Emily has no idea what do to with it.)

    Summary

    “Well hey, I don’t have Benji money but that first advance just came through, so if you’re ever looking for a marginally less impressive patron, you let me know.”

    “It would be nice for you to have someone more sophisticated on your arm, I suppose.”

    (In which Emily finds a new benefactor and friends with benefits… with benefits begins.)

    Summary

    Here she is again, grand realisation of some feeling or another presumably a few weeks old and she's just… ready to say it. Ready to try and make it happen. Just like that. She's always there, ready to offer a hand or a hug or a kind word or a fucking monumental declaration, all the things that Emily's afraid of.

    So maybe it's a little bit of a thrill, when Andy is flustered and panicked and putting every ounce of power back into Emily's hands.
