    Summary

    “Big day today, kiddo.” Carol says, slipping practiced fingers beneath the tabs of Ava’s diaper. “It’s mommy’s day.”

    Ava kicks happily–not yet concerned with arbitrary holidays like Mother’s Day. As an adult, and a partner, Carol does not enjoy such luxury. She’s spent the past week planning for this single day; wants it to be perfect.

    For Zosia.

    Summary

    "Carol knows in her heart that she shouldn’t pour herself another drink. The glass is sticky enough to remind her that she’s spilled the amber liquid over her own hands at least three times, and she’s licked them clean as if wasting a single drop of her favourite poison were a crime. If anyone could see her now, they would deem her pathetic, disgusting, hopeless. The fact that she can still feel the stinging shame of knowing that she’s exactly all those things makes her realize that she’s not drunk enough."
    [...]
    “You’re Carol, right? I’m Zosia. I hear you’ve had quite a day.”
    Carol scoffs, trying to conceal the cracks in her voice.
    “And it’s not even noon yet.”

     

    or

    the one where Carol struggles through loss, grief, addiction and trauma, doesn't ask for help, but gets it anyways.

    Summary

    Holy shit,” Rio says aloud. Agatha is somehow, miraculously, alive. Rio feels her own heart start beating faster in her chest with each distinct thump of Agatha’s heart through the warm skin in her neck.

    Agatha Harkness, of all people, against all odds, is alive. Rio has to amend her earlier statement. It’s just us out here. Just Rio and her stubborn, narcissistic, cruel, and gorgeous boss, trapped together miles and miles away from any other human life form.

    Summary

    The heat in Zosia’s gaze deepened and Carol nearly choked on the air she was fucking breathing on – no. Oh no, no, no. It was a sex thing. It had to be a sex thing and she was not about to share any of that with Diabaté. It was the only thing she forbade the hive from doing because what happened between herself and Zosia was her business.

    Zosia’s eyes didn't waver from Carol. “We watched a movie.”

    Summary

    “Carol."

    Zosia Bartoś has said Sturka on panel shows and she has said my colleague on Twitter and she has said "the anchor at Liberty" in interviews and she has said "Carol Sturka" the full two-word name in writing, but she has not said Carol, just Carol, since a hotel room in Cincinnati ten years ago.

    "You can say gay on television.”

    Someone in the audience gasps, another says oh my god too loudly into a mic that should have been dead and the room comes apart.

    or

    Carol Sturka is a closeted conservative anchor. Zosia Bartoś is her progressive ex. Netflix has them on a stage in 8 swing states for 4 months.

    -
