    Summary

    Maybe it's her grief. Maybe it's the way she feels just that much closer to something frightening and cosmic right now. Or maybe that in-tune feeling, the one that used to jar her, is still there, untampered with despite time and distance.

    It doesn't matter, whatever it is. The point is she feels it. Who knows how, or even really where, exactly, she's feeling it, but beneath this overwhelming persistent fear, something shifts when he steps into the church behind her.

    Summary

    “Rebecca. Tell me this is a bad idea.”

    He's staring at her lips.

    She says it obediently, even as her hands stretch forward of their own volition, fingers curling into the softness of his jumper. “It’s a bad idea.”

    prompt: the beginning of tedbecca through facetime/video chats and texts

    //

    He stares down at the blue and gray bubbles, blurring as they go in and out of focus through the haze of whiskey.

    The last timestamp says May 2 and he aches a little bit with the fact that it's been three months since they even spoke like this, let alone over the phone or, God forbid, in person. That ache moves his fumbling fingers and suddenly the newest timestamp says Now and when he looks at the message, his nauseous stomach turns even more.

     

    I miss you.

    Summary

    'Keeley furrows her brow, reopening the lid of the envelope from where it’s been tucked in to keep whatever’s inside safe.

    Inside isn’t an official application, it’s a letter. It reads:

    'Dear Person in charge of Bake Off,

    I’m applying for a place in the tent on behalf of my dad, his name’s Ted.'

    or, the bake off au that absolutely no one asked for.

    Summary

    The kitten leapt off Ted’s shoulders and onto Rebecca’s desk, sending her pen cup flying. Then he marched across the glass desktop, meowing softly with each step toward Rebecca.

    Her eyes went wide as the orange ball of fur turned and nuzzled its face against her arm. A loud purr filled her office, like a teeny tiny chainsaw revving up.

    Ted’s face broke into a wide smile. “Oh, he likes you.”

    Rebecca’s expression softened, a smile tugging at her lips.

    “It’s quite sweet, isn’t it?”

    Or Ted finds a kitten in the AFC Richmond parking lot.

    Summary

    Ted recognized the front of the shop on his way back that afternoon, Henry strapped to his chest instead of in his stroller, awake, happily observing everything around him. The day had exhausted him, as if every task had taken double the energy today than it would have taken any other day. He hesitated, moving out of the line of people walking, looking up at the sign above the door. The woman he’d seen, the one who nearly ran into him, she had come out of this shop, hadn’t she?

     

    He didn’t know what he expected, but seeing a sign that said The Earl Greyhound was not it.

    Summary

    She’s in his favorite pair of silky pink pajamas, her reading glasses perched on the edge of her nose, and the look does something to him in an almighty way: the thin strap hanging off one delicate shoulder, her collarbones bared; face free of makeup and her hair up in a messy ponytail, tendrils curling toward her jaw; the thick, black-rimmed glasses that fulfill every librarian fantasy he’s ever had and more.

    Summary

    'Their eyes hit him first, those all too familiar irises, but the gentle dip in their cheeks with their smile just about knocks the wind out of him. They’re the same dimples that've stared back at him in the mirror every day of his life, the same dimples Rebecca had traced with her finger that night in bed, the rising daylight highlighting each sun freckle that dotted her nose.'

    (or, Ted hasn't seen Rebecca since their right-out-of-a-romcom chance meeting summer romance six years ago and he's finding out now that she might not be the only one he left in London)
