Summary:

Emily takes up a fair amount of space in Ashley's brain these days.

Notes:

this is not my first attempt to get inside ashley's brain (a hard task seeing as how little the writers cared about her) but it's the one I'm putting up here. ashley is smart but she doesn't have all the information /and/ I like the idea of sapphic but repressed ashley (it also makes the stuff between her and tyler and nolan more interesting imo) - and just like mason/leo made the assumption emily and amanda were in love, there is something about emily and victoria's intensity that I could see someone like ashley reading into.

sorry for the rambly ass authors note lol. the title is from bleed out by the mountain goats.

Work Text:

Ashley had seen Emily flirt with a man or two in their short but strong friendship but something about the way she looked at Victoria Grayson, of all people, made her second guess any assumptions she has about her friend's sexuality. Well, more like third guess because the first time they talked Ashley did think that maybe she was being flirted with – and Emily was pretty enough that Ashley almost considered it.

But she didn't, of course she didn’t. Ashley cannot add being attracted to women to her list of things that will make making a name for herself here even more difficult. But then of course, Emily wasn't flirting with her, she was just looking for a friend. And a friend she received.
