"Hal was still a total asshole. Fortunately, she was a bitch, and they both liked to say fuck every fifth word."
They’d known each other for 14 years and 10 months. Rivals for almost three. Reluctant allies for just shy of a year. Ruthless partners and near-inseparable best friends for the rest.
They’d shared beds across the country, beverages that they didn’t bother to label, and even a few ex-boyfriends. But, Halbrand and Galadriel had never even shared so much as a peck on the cheek.
Yet, here they were, discussing sharing a baby, based on a drunken pact they’d made when they were barely best friends.
However, their baby-making methodology is currently up for debate. And... well how far does the definition of a 'Platonic Pregnancy Pact' go when you ditch the baster?
