Summary
“Look at me,” Emilie entreats, leaning forward as Nathalie leans away, shrinking in on herself, ignoring the command. Shoulders stiff, hands restless on the bed as if they’d kissed chastely and nothing more. She can’t even hide the wavering of her apology, quiet though it is.
“What happened, Nathalie?”
Nathalie closes her eyes, letting out a sigh. Her throat too constricted for words.
Hand beneath her chin now, lifting it up. Pink-orange light through her eyelids. “Well, this isn’t just jet lag,” huffs Emilie. “I think you can admit that much to me."
Nathalie opens her eyes, meeting Emilie's with intensity. Tears pooling on Emilie’s hand cupping her cheek.
Tenderly, Emilie drops her voice. “Out there—Did something happen between you and—?”
Nathalie makes a mistake. Emilie helps absolve her.

Bookmark Notes:
Absolutely insane and incredible fic where Emilie is like a trickster spirit (not literally) (both malicious and not) and Gabriel is. Gabriel. And Nathalie is caught between like two waves crashing into her and trying to pull her away. Amazing atmosphere throughout, VERY INCREDIBLY TENSE. Cannot ever let myself be fooled again by how sweet the summary feels, this was like crashing into a brick wall and then crawling out of the car and then getting run over by the fire truck and then the ambulance, and then getting to the hospital and the hospital exploding. Had to read over multiple days because I was feeling sick to my stomach with nerves every time I read.
Note to self: Looooots of vomit. Lots of it. Bunches. Morning sickness and anxiety and whatnot.
