Work Text:
From the moment he met Alison, Fitz was flirting with insanity.
A rational man would not apply for a teaching position in order to spy on a group of teenagers. Nor would one (illegally) date a student to facilitate writing a book about her dead friend.
He knows it's wrong. But this girl, this mystery -- this work -- gives his life meaning.
So he studies Montgomery's file, and researches enough about Iceland to bullshit his way through their first conversation.
She'll think it's fate.
And when he's kissing Aria in the restroom, he can't help but think Alison would be proud.
