BEA: I am, you're right. All yours.

[ a beat ]

BEA: But I meant, even if we'd never met, I still think you'd have a part of me. Even if neither of us knew it.

[ another ]

BEA: That was incredibly sappy of me, and now in order to keep my British citizenship I don't think I'm allowed to express another feel for the rest of the year.

BEA: ;p

BEA: Well then perhaps I'll just have just sign us up for a couples nude art class, so you can, in fact, make it yourself.

[ an longer pause -- both excited and nervous ]

BEA: I want you here too. I rather like the idea of taking the train to visit you for the weekend.

FRAN: I like sappy. I may look dashing in a suit, but I still like to hear sappy little things from my girlfriend from time to time ;)

FRAN: And I think you're right, for what it's worth.

FRAN: I couldn't find anyone because I already had my girl. I just didn't know it.

[ a pause ]

FRAN: Maybe it's time I tell you about my short-lived dream of going to art school, and my talent for sketching.

[ a beat ]

FRAN: I very much like the idea of a future where 'a train ride away' is the longest distance between us, yes.

6dprompts:

Happy International Fetish day! Are you involved in the BDSM community or lifestyle in any way? If so, in which way, and which are your favorite things about it? If not, would you be interested in trying it?

I’ve dabbled. My Daddy would be happy to provide a list of all my favourite things, isn’t that right Frannie?

Oh, she wouldn’t be happy at all. She’s rather possessive of you and your favorite things, I hear.

BEA: No, you're not random. I think a part of me has always been yours. We're just lucky to have met when we did.

BEA: Chris, however, still weird.

[ a slight pause ]

BEA: Like a permanent something?

[ another ]

BEA: Yes, I know you love me and my ass. Still working things out with production, but you'll certainly be the first person I tell when all the I's have been dotted and the T's have been crossed.

BEA: In the meantime, I'm totally going to look up nude body art so you can have my assprint to admire wherever you are.

[ a pause in which she allows herself a near-swoon at Bea's words ]

FRAN: Only a part of you?

FRAN: I thought you were all mine, my girl.

FRAN: And you know it's not the same if I'm not the one making those assprints.

[ another pause, this time longer, wondering if she's once again moving a little too fast for Bea ]

FRAN: A permanent something, yes.

FRAN: I'm not saying we should move in together.

FRAN: But I want to be where you are, not half a world away.

No Christmas Eve butterflies, even?

I’ve been playing Santa for myself for years, so that ruins a bit of the surprise. This year, though, I guess I did get a butterfly or two.

BEA: Well now he's just laughing at me.

BEA: He is, yeah. I just..

BEA: Don't you think it's weird?

[ a surprised/excited pause ]

BEA: Wait -- seriously? For a while in Cardiff? Should I start hunting for a bigger flat, you know the boys will want separate rooms.

[ another ]

BEA: I'd like that, you know. You here longer.

BEA: Actually, it works out rather nicely seeing as I'm supposed to be in LA for a bit soon.

BEA: You won't have to miss me too much longer.

FRAN: Weirder than you dating a random businesswoman from halfway across the world? I don't know.

[ a slight pause ]

FRAN: I was thinking about buying something in London, actually.

[ another ]

FRAN: Something for me, and something for Sol.

FRAN: You know I love having you here. Even if you leave buttprints all over my glass walls.

FRAN: When are you coming? I need to arrange my schedule to pick you and Junior up.

[captainfranfab]

BEA: He says it's grand, he's got his armrest back.

BEA: And ugh! Stop. It's /so not/ funny!! Don't taint my missing you with my sister's odd little crush on my costar.

BEA: I think you should get as much done as you can, and then come to Cardiff for the 20th. Just in case the United States implodes or something.

FRAN: Tell him to mind his manners. That's /my/ armrest he's talking about.

FRAN: I still think it's sweet. He's a good man. Mature. Would be good for her and Albie.

FRAN: I don't think I can be there that early, babe.

FRAN: Soon, though.

[ a beat ]

FRAN: And for a while, maybe?

[sixdegreesofavi-blog]

That kid-on-Hanukkah-Eve feeling when you wake up in an excited, cold sweat at 4 a.m. because you’re meeting with your label to go over the most recent revisions on your album and, if they like it, you can get back on your tour bus again for a few test shows very soon.

Anyone else?

…just me?

[captainfranfab]

I’m fairly sure it’s not just you, but I can’t say I know the feeling, either. I hope it all goes well and you can be on tour soon, Avi.

BEA: Please tell Frtizie I miss him too.

BEA: And so does Junior. In his way.

BEA: On set. Filming. Chris says hello.

BEA: Actually he said, 'texting your girlfriend? am I chopped liver?' but I'm pretty sure that's the translation. He misses you too. But not as much as me.

BEA: What's on your schedule for the day, baby? Apart from reminding your employees you are more than a gorgeous face in a computer screen.

FRAN: Ask him what's the craic from me. With all my affection.

[ a beat ]

FRAN: Though less affection than a certain Smith.

FRAN: ;)

FRAN: Meetings, mostly. I've been stalling on some decisions so I need to make them now.

FRAN: I don't know if I should try and get as much as I can done before the 20th, or wait and see what happens afterwards.

Cody: just checkin in. miss u cap.

Fran: I'm struggling to adapt to all this sunlight after a month in London.

Fran: I feel like an Addams.

Fran: How are you? And Avi?

[captainfranfab]

Text || Bran

BEA: Your daily reminder that I am missing you.

BEA: Heaps and heaps.

BEA: Junior has not got your cuddle skills down.

BEA: And Cardiff is cold.

BEA: Colder without you.

[ a beat ]

BEA: Love you, Mary Frances.

[ another ]

BEA: To the moon.

[ a third ]

BEA: Even if you won't fly me to it.

BEA: ;)

[ A few hours later, when she wakes up. ]

FRAN: I miss you, too.

FRAN: Both of you.

FRAN: Fritz misses only you, though.

FRAN: And I love you, too. What are you doing today?

@shakasurf: he’s gotta meet cougar soon!

@captainfranfab: Definitely, as soon as he and Bea can visit after Christmas. Prepare Cougar for meeting a very gentle (and slightly hyper) giant.

FACETIME || BRAN

Bea: [ focuses the camera on her pouting lips ] Tease! [ she accuses, mainly teasing. she sighs, lips vibrating as she pulls the phone back again to focus on the whole of her face ] Boring. They're doing the just Chris bits now. Personally o can't see the point of an interview I'm not a part of, but what do I know?

Fran: I don't know, babe. I hear there are some people out there who enjoy him. I'm sure Olivia won't mind watching the just Chris bits. [ she gives her a teasing look, knowing all about Bea's feelings on her sister's crush ] Not everyone watches only for the just you bits, after all.

[captainfranfab]

FACETIME || BRAN

Bea: [ she 'awes' and coos at the sight of her boys (because even if it's not strictly true, she considers Fritzie sort of hers now too) all cuddled up ] You're a very good mum, baby. They're very lucky to have you. [ she feels pretty lucky too ] And as to that uniform, I hope what you're imagining is authentic -- as an actor you know I'm all about realism. [ she smirks, leaning back on the lumpy couch the green room provides. promoting is not her favourite activity. ]

Fran: [ she grins, enjoying Bea's reaction at seeing their boys ] We're doing all right with the boys. I don't think they'll talk about us in therapy a few years from now. [ she looks at the couch and the bit of Bea's surroundings she can see in the screen, and realizes she's not in her usual filming studio - promo day, was it? she's still not completely fluent in showbiz speak ] I'll tell you all about how short I want the skirt to be when you get home. How's your day going so far?

↳ 6D: @captainfranfab​ UPLOADED A NEW PHOTO

Junior understands I’ll have to get up and change into real clothes eventually. He just doesn’t think it should be right now. #velcroboy2.0 #learningfrombigbrother #lazywednesday

[captainfranfab]

FACETIME || BRAN

Bea: [ she smiles a little more at that ] He's learning, Fritz is a very good big brother. [ a beat, enjoying the view Frannie's comfort provides. and the look in her eye as she no doubt imagines the scenario ] Are you? And what exactly about that scenario interests you, Frannie?

Fran: They're both learning. [ She picks up the phone for a moment to angle it so Bea can see both dogs curled up on the bed in her "office", taking a nap. ] That took a good hour of fetching at the park, but I think they'll be asleep for a while. [ Putting the phone back where it was, Fran pretends to think for a moment before she answers Bea's question. ] Well, I'm picturing a very interesting uniform, for starters.

[captainfranfab]

FACETIME || BRAN

Bea: [ nods, her smile fading just so. she knows it's an inevitability. she's got a show to make come January anyway, and it's not like Frannie can conduct business from her spare room forever. but that doesn't mean she wouldn't like it if she did... ] Definitely. Some memories to keep the bed warm at night. [ a beat ] But that is a fair point, if I was a mum in the 50s I'd like to think I'd do what it takes to make my son successful. Anything to set my child apart from the rest. Though seeing as my son is also /yours/, I'd hope you wouldn't require much encouragement. [ another beat, her smile working its way back on her lips ] A lady and her maid... that could be fun.

Fran: Please, babe, Francis would never need our help. He's a smart boy... [ a pause ] most of the time. But a lady and her maid? [ she props her phone up on the table against the computer monitor and gets comfier in her chair, picturing the scene... and the uniform she's sure Bea would wear ] I'd be lying if I said I'm not extremely interested.

[captainfranfab]

FACETIME || BRAN

Bea: [ snorts, amused ] Did you think the 50s housewife was going to waltz into your office and ask for a spanking, professor? [ on second thought, it's not a half bad idea. she can pour her a scotch before Frannie bends her over... ] But you know anytime you'd like me to pull out the pearls and the pumps and make you a roast, all you have to do is ask...

Fran: It's never too late to get an education. Or maybe you come in to see if you can make me raise your son's grade by a point or twenty with some... encouragement. [ Fran wiggles her eyebrows, obviously joking. ] It's definitely on my Christmas list. Something to look forward to once I leave, right?
