    Summary

    When he starts awake, all he can do is stare at the ceiling, body rigid, tense, eyes not believing what he’s seeing.

    He clenches his eyes shut. Reopens them. Same image.

    Summary

    “So,” Ted drawls after a moment, “you’ll go on a date again after this?”
    She laughs a little at the expression on his face. “Was that your devious plan all along? Talking about Rom-Coms, so I wouldn’t give up on dating?”
    “Can’t have you giving up on love, boss.” Ted shrugs. “Doesn’t agree with the Rom-Communist in me.”

    OR

    Rebecca starts dating again. She ends up with the right guy anyway.

    OR

    4(ish) dates in the life of Rebecca Welton

    Summary

    She doesn't feel like calling anyone. She doesn't feel like doing the whole thing, having someone in her house, pretending she's not annoyed when he lingers and raids her fridge when she just wants to go to sleep.

    Sometimes it's worth it. Sometimes, like now, when she's tired and tingling and maybe a little irritable, it's really not.

    Summary

    Suddenly he wants to tease her—wants, more than that, to do best musical, worst musical. Wants to pick her brain about Hadestown and ask if she’s ever seen The Lion King live and whether she actually likes Rodgers and Hammerstein or if she just pretends to for the sake of propriety. He wants to know everything she knows, not simply because he thinks they have a secret, shared interest all of a sudden, but because he thinks maybe, maybe he can use it as an excuse. A way to talk to her without having to talk to her until they’re both ready.

    Until he’s ready.

    Summary

    He hadn’t meant to start running. Hadn’t meant to leave the circle of boys and Roy and Beard but she was so close, but not close enough, and he’d felt his feet begin to carry him towards her before he had a chance to think.

    He’d expected to make it to the tunnel. Expected a quiet moment of congratulations amidst the chaos. Expected to be out of breath when he met her, expected her small, warm smile. Private, just for him.

    Instead, she’d kicked off her heels.

    Summary

    Deep down, in the small, shadowed part of his heart that is slowly beginning to accept that this isn’t a farce, that a wrong turn of phrase won’t leave him terribly heartbroken; in the part of him still coming to terms with the end of his marriage, absolving himself, ever so carefully, of all the blame; in the part of him that wakes up most mornings with Rebecca wrapped around him like a second skin, leg wedged between his and her nose pushed into his shoulder, her fingers always cold against his skin, he knows this isn’t a sign of anything.

    It isn’t that she’s gotten tired of him, or being close to him. Isn’t that she’s putting distance between them, rebuilding walls they’d both painstakingly torn down. It isn’t that she’s found his presence suddenly too much, the way Michelle had at the end.

    It’s just that, well, his bed is small.

    Extremely small.

    Summary

    If Keeley had been surprised by any of it—the sheer amount of food or Rebecca’s fidgeting or the fact that they were making three fucking pies (pecan, pumpkin, and apple butter) because Beard wasn’t sure which one Ted liked best and what was the point, really, if they didn’t have everything Ted wanted, if she didn’t make it all perfectly, if it wasn’t what he needed—

    Keeley hadn’t called her on any of it. Which she was grateful for. And a little suspicious of. But mostly grateful, for the way her friend kept looking at her every so often with a soft, reassuring smile.

    “He’s going to love it,” she kept saying. “Even if you burn the pudding, he’ll still love it.”

    Summary

    Ted isn’t sure what the heck is happening and suddenly he thinks maybe he should just hang up. Hang up the phone and go to bed and never listen to the rest of the voicemail again. It feels like eavesdropping in a way - she has clearly had more than a bit to drink, she’d never be this candid if she wasn’t hammered. Except Rebecca is talking about kissing him and there’s no way he can hang up now.

    Summary

    He knows no one would ever give him points for it, but he feels like he deserves it for putting on his suit and showing up. Because, Jesus Christ, it's like nothing he's ever felt before in his life.

    Pure torture.

    Summary

    Everyone at AFC Richmond is talking about self-care, but it turns out that Ted - despite being the exact person who seems like he would know the most about it - might not actually be doing any. Worse, he might not even know what he needs.

    Until he does.

    Summary

    She’d had the realization about three months ago, when she was hip-deep in planning, and preparing for their match against West Ham, and dealing with her now-involved mother, that Ted wasn’t just a friend. She’d invited him over to look at resort options, ordered them take-away and they’d drained a bottle of wine together and half the night was gone before she realized her leg was pressed against his thigh and he had an arm around her shoulder, leaning in to better see the laptop screen. He was telling her a story about Henry’s first trip to the beach when she’d looked over at him, really, properly looked at him, in a way she’d never allowed herself to before. Her breath had caught and her chest caved in and she’d realized with absolutely no preamble or fair warning that she was desperately in love with the man sitting next to her, talking obliviously about how much his son hates sand between his toes and it had taken all her willpower and self-preservation not to lean in right then and kiss him.
