    Summary

    She makes an amused sound, like a single ‘heh’ of a chuckle except cut off, and then ducks down and kisses him. It’s – it’s incredibly awkward, she’s so much larger than him, and he finds himself with his arms on her shoulders, and then she pulls back and says “I want to pick you up,” to which he nods, and says yes, yes desperately. She smiles against his cheek and then he’s being lifted by – by his waist, and he straddles her waist out of reflex and tightens his grip around her shoulders.

     

    “Wow,” he says, breathless.

    Summary

    “Do you take all your parishioners out drinking?” Matt asks.

    “Okay, first of all, we’re having a beer, not going on a bender,” Foggy says, voice low and warm and going straight to the fizzy nerves under Matt’s skin. This is a strange place to be in. “Second of all, I occasionally have a glass of wine at the ladies’ Bible study night but otherwise you’re a special case.”

    “Why?” Matt asks, thumb rubbing the curve of his bottle.

    “We’re friends,” Foggy says, like it’s obvious. “Also, you’re an absolute nightmare in a confessional. You get bitchy when I don’t tell you that you’re going to burn in hell for eternity or, like, flog you for whatever cryptic sins you’re confessing to.”

    Matt’s fingers clench on the bottle.

    Foggy is a priest AU. Foggy as gentle dom, except priest, Matt as needy sub, except a sinning parishioner. Chef's kiss

    Summary

    “Don’t kiss me because you’re sad about your girlfriend,” Foggy says.

    He should probably say don’t kiss me and leave it at that, but he doesn’t.

    “What if I kiss you because I want to?” Matt asks, tilting his head a little.

    Had this bookmarked from years ago. Stumbled on it again in Dec 2022, had definitely read it before, but so long ago my memories were fuzzy and it was almost like reading it for the first time. Re discovered why it was one of my favorites. What an excellent wonderful sad and sexy fic. Thank you returnsandreturns for always writing us the good stuff.

    Summary

    “I know we’re not supposed to sexualize the interns,” Marci says, “but. . .want to switch?”

    “Keep your hands off him,” Foggy says, laughing, following her gaze to see Matt speaking politely to one of the most tedious lawyers at the firm—which is saying something—with an obviously practiced fake smile. “He’s too pure for you. I’m considering convincing him to find a new career because I don’t want to see him get corrupted.”

    “Full of youthful idealism?” Marci asks.

    “He quoted Thurgood Marshall at me,” Foggy says. “It was charming. He’s going to hate it here.”

    Summary

    The disconnect is painful. I live in parking lots now; kicking around outside with a cigarette while everyone indoors has that warm fucking moment of human connection. Burgie says I’m on the pity parade. My therapist says I’m adjusting. I don’t know who to listen to so I just listen to neither of them.
