    Summary

    The darkness of the control tent obscures most of Darcy's features, but the thick cathode ray tube television illuminates the crown of her head with a phosphorescent halo. The light plays in the reflection of her glasses and the long eyelashes behind them, bathing her face half in shadow as she stares up from her chair at Monica. Her fingers curl around the hard plastic backing, and it occurs to Monica with a faint tickling at the base of her neck that the only time Darcy isn't watching Wanda is when she's watching her instead. She wonders if she knows how pretty she is.

    Summary

    “I’m sure.” Lena doesn’t mean to snap —it’s more of a mild annoyance if anything because if her once best friend doesn’t know that there is no way in hell she would be doing this if she didn’t want to, if she didn’t, however unwillingly, trust Kara with this, then did she ever know her at all? “As long as you’re amenable, Kara, I’m offering my complete consent. Is that okay, or would you like it in writing as well?”

    For the first time, Lena’s snipe and the crystal clear memory of their last phone call just makes Kara smile. “I’m good,” she says softly.

    “Good.”

    “You know, a week ago, the morning after we— I’d convinced myself it was a dream. I was scared to check my call log.”

    “Do you have many wet dreams about me, Kara?”

    Kara laughs suddenly, though she can’t help but feel like she’s been missing out on an essential experience. “No.”

    “Shame.”

    “You, uh, you hung up last time,” Kara ventures hesitantly. “Before I could…”

    “If you’re worried I didn’t complete the mission, I’m happy to inform you that I did.”

    “No, before I could tell you that you sounded beautiful.”
     

    --

     

    Or, the one with phone sex and feelings and the complexity of forgiveness.
