    Summary

    “How are you so calm about this?” Karen doesn’t get it. She’s trying to stave off an anxiety attack about a plane that hasn’t even started moving, and a complete stranger is clutching her vomit bag. Looking at her with a small, rueful smile that’s so attractive it’s only adding to the butterflies in her stomach.

    “Did a few tours overseas. When you’re jumpin’ out of ‘em it’s easier to forgot about the plane itself.”

    Summary

    “The first PTA meeting he walked into, she'd given him a look of total abject horror before quickly resuming her standard Passive Housewife expression. He'd enjoyed riling her up until she completely cracked, yelling ‘gluten-free snacks are non-negotiable!’ at him across the table like a maniac and stunning the rest of the room into silence. They'd stared at each other intensely until someone awkwardly cleared their throat and suggested they take a tea break.”

     

    I kinda want Rio to find out all the Dean baggage so he can be a dick to him about it. This fic happened while I was thinking of ways the writers could make him find out organically. Because Beth obviously isn’t going to tell him.

    Summary

    Because the storage unit was empty again, and none of them had been able to make ends meet – not for Sara’s meds or Sadie’s hormone therapy, and not to salvage the husk of Boland Motors nor stop Beth and Dean from slipping further into debt, and so maybe Beth had thought about the fake cash, then maybe she’d done enough research into making it, then maybe - - maybe she’d done it, taking it out of her oven the first time she’d pulled it off with a wide and honest grin.

    Because right then it had felt good. To have done it. To remember it. To remember she was good at this, that what he’d seen in her had been right and true, even if he was only ever playing with her, even if the rest of it had all been a lie.

    Summary

    She tries not to think of that night. Tries to bury it in the depths of her mind, lose the memories somewhere between miscellaneous body parts and vagina floss thongs. Her feelings aren’t rational but her mind is. So she focuses on her mind, lets it take the events and distort them into something logical. Something bearable.
