Summary
The next moment her brother does something Nat finds strange: he raises a fist up to his chest and he rubs small circles over it one, two, three times then just rests it there over his ribcage, lingering.
Equally strange is how Syd seems to not only understand the gesture, but repeats it back to him, then the pair just stare silently at one another, having another wordless conversation only the two of them are privy to.
Suddenly, Nat feels as if she is seeing something she’s not supposed to, like she’s intruding. She feels like she should look away, but she’s too intrigued by this discovery she’s stumbled upon to do so.
-
Or: Five times Nat suspects there might be something going on between Sydney and her brother, and one time she knows for sure.

Summary
“So,” Sydney announces, at an extra, unnecessary volume. “I have an idea for a...an anniversary bonus.”
Carmen, used to her antics at this point, is clearly just amused. “Do tell, Mrs. Berzatto.”
The usual butterflies she gets at the nickname seem to already be emboldened by pregnancy hormones, and decide to thrash about. Nevertheless, she stays focused. “I think we should move the coffee table and dance in the living room.”
He’s smiling, but she can tell it’s the smile he plasters on when he wants to tell her to fuck off. Carmy laughs, seemingly at himself, and shrugs. “You know what?”
“What,” Sydney responds, more of a statement than a question.
“This wine is starting to taste like ‘fuck it’,” he says, and they both laugh big, belly laughs. “So, fuck it. Go ahead and play the song, DJ.”
Alternatively, oneshots from a universe where Sydney and Carmy are each other's joy, safety and peace.
