“Maybe it’s each other. That would be a hoot”.
-
Oh Helly. You were close.
Mark Scout and Helena Eagan were happily married for three years. Then, their relationship broke down.
When Mark takes a job on the Severed Floor, he figures there shouldn’t be any issues. Lumon Industries is a huge conglomerate, it’s not as if he’d be running into his ex-wife anytime soon.
Right?

Summary
“I bet you fifty bucks I can make you come in under ten minutes.”
It knocks a laugh out of her, she’ll give him that much. She lets the laugh turn into a scoff as she angles her face toward his. “Please. You don’t look like you have fifty dollars to give me when you lose.”
“I’m not going to lose.”
His eyes drop to her mouth, brief as the click of a lighter and every bit as searing. When his eyes return to hers, the air between them tightens.
“No way.”
“Why not?”
“It’s not going to happen.”
His grin flashes. “Give me eight.”
“Oh, sweetheart,” Helena croons, and there’s a condescending curl to the end of it she cannot resist. “I could spend eight minutes explaining why the answer is no, and that would be a far better use of both of our time.”

Summary
Mark Scout thought accepting the Eagan Foundation’s prestigious faculty fellowship would mean research funding, grad students, and maybe finally fixing his collapsing porch roof, not being tangled up with Helena Eagan herself.
She’s sharp, relentless, and entirely too good at getting under his skin. Between benefit speeches, tux fittings, and “work sessions” that keep veering into dangerous territory, Mark’s starting to realize this fellowship might cost him a lot more than his professional composure.
Or: that time I tried to write a one-shot based on the Atonement library scene and it spiraled *wildly* out of control.
