Summary
"I just wanted you to know, if you and I ever both found ourselves single, I would ask you on a date."
All Judy wants to do is go to Jen, to talk it out. She wants to tell her it's all she's ever wanted, but didn't think it was possible. She wants to express her fears, wants to ask Jen if she's sure, ask her to spell out just exactly what it is she's feeling.Then Judy closes her eyes, and sees Jen's face; she sees how Jen looked at her when she said, "No, I'm not messing with you." She'll never forget how Jen looked at her. She never wants to see anything else.
It tells her all she needs to know.

Summary
Jen will never forget the first time she sees her.
Slightly asymmetrical rainbows painted on her cheeks, rainbow flag wrapped around her shoulders, blinding smile- radiating the kind of overexuberance that would normally make Jen roll her eyes.
For some reason, this time, it doesn't.

Summary
"You're the best!" Judy exclaims, grateful. "It shouldn't be too bad. It will be fun, and all you have to do is pretend you find me attractive," she says with a wink.
Laughter immediately bursts out of Jen, at the absolute absurdity of that statement, at the absurdity that anyone with the gift of eyesight would have to pretend to find Judy Hale attractive. She's having trouble controlling her laughter and Judy quirks an eyebrow at her, smiling but quizzical. Jen pulls it together. "Sorry. Yeah, Jude, I'll try to take some acting classes in the next week."
Judy gives her a playful shove on the shoulder, and it's all fun, all light-hearted, but Jen feels a sense of unease creeping in, and she knows when she's alone with her thoughts she'll be asking herself if this is a good idea.
The truth is, she has to think way, way back- almost to when they first met- to remember a time she wasn't doing some level of pretending with Judy.

Summary
Jen isn't prepared for the car to hit them.
Her first thought, after the pain and the fog in her brain clears, is an angry, 'Jesus fuck, haven't we been through enough?'
When she smiles at Judy as they leave the hospital, gets a smile in return, matching bandages on their heads (and miraculously nothing else wrong with them), she starts thinking, 'Maybe I'm actually really lucky.'
Jen is in no way prepared for what hits them next.

Or
Jen and Judy are finally on the cusp of taking their relationship to the next level, and Jen suffers a traumatic brain injury when they're the victims of a hit and run. Post-season 2.
