    Summary

    Therese is perfectly confident in their lovemaking; knows that she gives Carol exactly what she needs, and that nothing is missing between them. But that doesn’t mean they can’t have more.

    Summary

    A modern AU set in Edinburgh, Scotland. Expect a bit of a slow burn (and a rollercoaster of emotions). See an excerpt below:

    Suddenly, she came to the horrible realisation that this was it. She was really leaving, alone, her life condensed into a single backpack and a small suitcase, the only one she'd ever owned. She imagined Richard’s set lips and furrowed brow outside the window, his disapproving eyes watching her every move, watching her leave. She imagined him shrinking with the skyline until he became a tiny speck; a piece of dust she could blow away.

    York, Darlington, Newcastle, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Edinburgh... It was really happening, wasn't it? Therese fished frantically for the train ticket in her pocket. Edinburgh, single, one-way. There was no return from this.

    Summary

    Maybe seeing me again is as inconsequential to her as running in to an acquaintance from high school. After all, it was such a brief relationship, not even a relationship at all, just a—a thing. And when I was reckless enough to tell her that I loved her? Radio silence. No reciprocity. Over the past three years, I’ve come to the conclusion that all the intensity of emotion was one-sided, and Therese was just a straight girl who got caught up in the illicit thrill of being pursued by an older woman...

     

    This is my take on the "Therese never went to the Oak Room" prompt, but make it a modern AU. Tell me if it's working for you. I'm feeling rusty.
