    Summary

    Helen survives the Joining. The Hive tries to figure out what makes Carol different.

    Canon-typical dubious consent. Carol is all for it. Helen is all for it. Carol does not know the hive mind is at the party. Basically filth. These hot wives deserve the world.

    Summary

    “I’m one of the lit managers,” the woman explains.

    “Yet you can’t manage to take a hint," Carol retorts. "I’m not in the mood for conversation.”

    It’s meant to be rude — to get this beautiful, annoying woman to leave her alone once and for all — but instead, the corner of her mouth curves into a smirk. Carol hates how sexy she finds it. “Clever wordplay,” she commends. “You really are a writer.”

    Or: After sending dozens of query letters with no success, Carol reluctantly goes to a literary speed-dating event to try to find representation. There, she meets Helen.

    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

    “Whatever you need, Carol,” Zosia said, all but cooing in her dulcet tone and muted words. “We’re here for you.”

    Without sparing a fraction of connection, Carol neared. Uncoordinated, she climbed properly into Zosia’s lap, settled over now-extended legs like she belonged there. She did, she supposed.

    Whatever you need.

    Proximity. Closeness. Anything to keep her skin from remembering the loss.

    Summary

    She consciously ignores the memory of being introduced to Helen in the lobby a few weeks ago; doesn’t think about how her silver thumb ring had briefly skimmed over Carol’s knuckles when they shook hands. Or the smile that had crept up Helen’s full cheeks while they made small talk about Wycaro.

    Summary

    “Trust?” Zosia forced a humorless laugh. “That’s a pretty tall order. I don’t know anything about you.”

    The woman considered this. She nodded, though it seemed mostly to herself.

    “Okay, uh, what do you want to know?”

    “To start, your name,” Zosia said. “And then maybe, I don’t know, why you’re here, what you do, a fun fact about yourself, things like that.”

    The woman gave her an incredulous look.

    “You wanna do fucking icebreakers right now?”

    Zosia gets unplurbed, and Carol has to be the guide through this insanity that she wishes she had while being probably madly in love with her.

    Turn me back. Please, please, Carol. Please, I want to go back!

    Carol reaches for Zosia, then doesn’t.

    Summary

    Zosia raises an eyebrow. “We never lied to you. I never lied to you.”

    “And I didn't either,” Carol says. “But you chose to leave out the truth so you could turn me into something you know I don’t want to be.”

    “So what did you do to me then?”

    There’s a moment where they just stare at each other, pain mirrored on both of their faces.

    Summary

    “There's nothing wrong with you, Carol.”
    She emphasized the word ‘nothing’ as hard as she could. She wanted – needed – so badly for Carol to believe her. Carol sat back up, facing Zosia, who was still kneeling in front of her.
    “Then why can't I ever be enough?”

     

    After the events of the finale, Carol surrenders into a pit of depression that worries Manousos enough to ask the enemy for help.

    Summary

    “I didn’t keep most of the memories. Other people’s memories. I get flashes of big things, births, deaths. Except about you.”

    Carol feels the confusion slip onto her face. Nervousness creeps up her spine again. “Me?”

    “I know everything that anybody has ever thought about you, Carol. Every memory. Every feeling. Helen. Your ex-girlfriends. Your dentist. It’s like I have a Carol encyclopedia in my head.”

    Carol had thought that she was done experiencing fresh horrors. What a nightmare it is to realize that she is not. “Oh, god.” She says.

    “Oh, god,” Zosia agrees.

    After they manage to break Zosia free of the hive, Zosia and Carol try to navigate the field of landmines that is their relationship.

    Summary

    She blushed then, worsening the heat pooling atop her cheekbones. “This is how you’re gonna take advantage of me? Feed me whiskey and tell me I’m blushing?”

    “Maybe, maybe not.” Zosia set Carol’s glass back down. “You’re very demanding.”

    “Gonna kiss me about it?”
