Summary
In the aftermath of a shattered table and an unforgiving silence, something between them begins to shift—subtle at first, then seismic. What follows is a slow unraveling of defenses, loyalties, and the illusion that ambition alone can hold them together. Across hotel rooms, long drives, sleepless nights, and studio floors, they navigate the tension between what’s said and what’s meant, what’s wanted and what’s allowed.
From the spark of reconciliation to the edge of something irreversible, this is the story of what builds beneath the surface—one look, one line, one impossible choice at a time.Series

Summary
“I think you’re being difficult,” Ava says, all worked up like a child with hurt feelings. “I hope your husband hurries up and pays us so you can get the hell out of here.”
“Oh, honey. My husband won’t be paying anything,” Deborah says, sharply. “We’re long divorced, and he’s long dead.”

Summary
Just when Deborah—a nun long accustomed to silence and solitude—believed she had made peace with her life of quiet devotion, Ava appeared. A young woman adrift in the aftermath of her parents' death, Ava carries a need she doesn’t fully understand—only that it aches. Drawn to the monastery in search of something more than comfort, she awakens in Deborah a forgotten part of herself, questions, desires, and a quiet yearning buried long ago beneath faith and grief. But life—gentle and unpredictable—often leads us where we least expect, and what begins as an act of help slowly becomes a journey neither of them could have foreseen.

Summary
Deborah Vance is by no means a saint. Raunchy segments belong to her standard repertoire and she never turns a deaf ear to hot gossip.
But since meeting Ava Daniels, the meaning of Too Much Information has never been more apparent.
Creative partners or not, she knows Ava more intimately than any employer should and there's no acceptable explanation for why the uninvited details about her life burrow so deeply into Deborah's mind.
The one perk is that Ava has given her all the strings to pull when Deborah wants to see her squirm.

“Oh! So you have some weird lesbian fantasy bucket list. Now it all makes sense.”
Or: Ava, Deborah, and a toy.

“I want you!” Ava whispers, her tears coming full-force now.
“No, you don't. And one day, you'll realize that.”
Deborah gets up from the sofa and goes to join her new friend at the bar. Ava stays behind, feeling entirely broken as she gazes into the moonlit water.

Summary
"On the third day, Deborah Vance arrives.
She barges into Ava’s room without so much as a knock.
“Hey, quick question, what the fuck?” Ava yells around a mouthful of the world’s most rubbery buttered toast.
Deborah crosses her arms.
“This has to be the tiniest room in this hellhole, do you want me to get you moved?”
“It’s okay, D. It’s just me in here… obviously. No need for a pullout couch.”
Deborah taps her toe impatiently.
“Your neurologist is more interested in his appearance than patient care.”
“He’s fine, he knows his shit. Everybody wants to be a fucking influencer these days, doesn’t mean I’m gonna die or anything just because he wants to hit a million views.”
“Well. I’m glad I confirmed that in person.” "
Set Post s2: A new diagnosis and hospital admission bring Ava and Deborah back together. (Or: what if the Just For Laughs Festival was Multiple Sclerosis instead?)

Summary
Deb has a dream that she confesses her love to her co-writer, causing her to reckon with her feelings for the woman. Takes place throughout 4x10 as Deb deals with losing Late Night and pushes Ava away. I think that episode was a culmination of a lot that was coming for Deb, and there seems to be a lot that is unsaid (...so I said it).

Summary
“Sorry, boss. Someone else was in need of my services.” Ava grins. She slides into the cart and twists the keys, ready to go.
“What?” Deborah stares at her. “Oh god. Not the redhead.”
“Her name is Megan, and she’s very prolific.” Ava lowers her voice, “Sexually.”
-
Or: Deborah and the “Gorgeous Golf Queen” take turns using Ava — sexually — throughout the week of the tournament. Lots of jealousy. Lots of kinky sex. Takes place during 3x06, “Par for the Course.” -

Summary
I've never participated in Kinktober before. I'm super good at starting things and never finishing them, so we shall see how far I get in this. Mostly using the tumblr prompt list. Multifandom, and in no order other than that which my horny brain begs. Click for Table of Contents. xo
