Work Text:
Bernie pushes open the door of Serena's house - their house now, a thought that still startles her into a smile months after it has been made official - and breathes in deeply. A smell that can't be defined at all but is unmistakably home. How is it that the smell, so vivid when coming back after some time away, is usually barely noticeable, even when coming home from work? Bernie smiles as the thought occurs to her that the smell usually being unnoticeable to her shows that she truly belongs here, that she is a part of it, of this home.
