Summary
Valencia follows Roxane Gay on Twitter. She’s read the op-eds Rebecca shares on Facebook. She knows about things like internalised misogyny and Catholic guilt and compulsory heterosexuality—kind of. She knows she should be burning her bra and smashing glass ceilings and rejecting the idea of modern matrimony for all its pandering to patriarchal narratives, or something. It’s just that she knows them in an absent, overwhelming kind of way that is so confusingly disconnected from everything she longs for as not some discourse in twelve point font on a page but a living, breathing person that wants things with every fibre of her being and contains multitudes.
After a major life upheaval, Valencia seeks out Paula.

love is not as scary as it appears; what's unsettling is this feeling by eyesontheskyline for mindatworkk

Summary
He’s here because he wants to be alone – that’s what he told himself. But as the weight of dread that’s been heavy in his lungs all day lifts at the sight of Rebecca, replaced with a confusing, fluttering warmth, the bubble of that particular delusion pops: if he wanted to be alone, he would’ve driven straight to his definitely empty apartment. The force of his want not to be alone drives him forward before he can give it another thought.
Canon divergent, sometime mid- 8 month affair, inspired by mindatworkk’s brutal spotify playlist, which shuffled Nathaniel’s Settle For Me Reprise next to Rebecca’s Face Your Fears Reprise.
Basically: what if they’d had those thoughts a little earlier and been able to start to process them together, before the affair got too destructive, and before anybody pushed anybody else off a roof?

Summary
“This is good,” Rebecca mumbles, shoveling in rough breaths on a haphazard beat. “Totally great. Awesome. I’m living my dreams. Theater is wonderful. Elliot Ellison is wonderful. This song is wonderful. I’m having the best time.”
--
Rebecca grapples with complicated feelings about theater. And about her interpersonal relationships. Not necessarily in that order.
(( missing scenes set during 4x14 and post-canon ))

Summary
When Nathaniel runs into Rebecca at the LA Zoo two years after he saw her performing her music for the first time, he isn't sure what to expect. They make plans to get dinner, and Nathaniel panics.
Who can he go to for advice on how to make things work this time around?
