    Summary

    “Why did you choose me?” asks Ava. She looks up at Deborah with tears caught in her eyelashes. “Why would you do that, D?”

    Deborah bites her lip. There’s calculation behind her cornflower irises, her brain spinning like a roulette wheel as she tries to land on the perfect response. Eventually, she finds a truth that she feels too stripped-down, too raw to excuse away: “There was never any choice.”

    OR What happens when Deborah drives Ava home after the events of S4E9 "A Slippery Slope."

    Summary

    “I wanted to hurt you, yes, because you hurt me, but I didn’t want it to go like this. I wasn’t listening and I should’ve been.” Deborah’s voice is suddenly so gravely serious, it makes Ava squirm. “Ava… I really thought you were going to kill yourself.”
     
    “Yeah, well. Sorry to disappoint.” Ava says, bitterly.

    Or: Following their reconciliation at the beach, Deborah’s determined to win Ava’s trust back. Ava’s determined too, but her body just won’t let her. (Takes place between 4x06, “Mrs. Table” and 4x07, “D’Christening”)

    Summary

    “I heard an interesting rumour at the office a few days ago,” Miranda said as she turned the pages of the Book without looking at Andy. Andy felt alarmed suddenly; she hadn’t heard any rumours and usually all the office gossip she immediately got from Serena. Miranda lifted her eyes and tilted her head ever so gently. “Apparently we are dating.”

    Summary

    Deborah lets out a huff of an exhale and sinks down onto the cushion Ava’s feet have only just vacated. “A cruise.” Her lips curl around the words, a sneer playing about the corner of them.

    “Um…why?”

    Deborah’s fingers rake through her hair, and Ava can’t help thinking how much she’d like to be the one doing that instead—which is, you know, wholly inappropriate because Deb’s her boss, and also one forwarded email away from kicking Ava out on her ass. “It’s a long story.”

    Or, the post-season 1 Hacks fic where Deborah gets stuck as the on-board entertainer on a three-week cruise only to find out about the email while out at sea

    Summary

    What if Deborah actually knew Ava was lying to her about the meeting in L.A. with the British producers? What if these two infuriating women actually spoke about all that goes unsaid between them? Season 1 ending rewrite. Crossposted from FF.net.
