it’s a cruel summer with you by stclenlullabies

She can’t remember the last time she wasn’t drowned in work, when she was truly happy and felt like herself.

Actually, scratch that. She can remember.

Three summers ago, in Dubai, with Fezco O’Neill.

But that’s a phase of her life that she can’t find her way back to, because they haven’t spoken since, so she shakes the thought away and sips her coffee with a frown on her face.

LEXI & FEZCO — 2.01, Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door

[hayleywiiliams]

You said, “I remember how we felt, sitting by the water And every time I look at you, it’s like the first time I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter She is the best thing that’s ever been mine”

[yellowpeach]

my sweet yellowpeach! I think I might have missed you while I was doing the rounds sending the prompt to everybody (and sorry to anybody else I missed- the fexi hive list is quite long) so my apologies that you are possibly getting this so late!

since everyone was so great the last time around, I have another writing challenge! (again- no pressure if you don’t want to participate, but don't be afraid to post even if you aren't a fic writer :) write a blurb/share something you've already written about Lexi telling Fez she's pregnant....

tysm for the ask!! don't mind missing me lol, i'm not offended in the slightest <3

as much as i enjoy reading fexi having a family, i'm also super interested in exploring a future when they change their mind about kids. as a child-free 28 year old who once lusted after the idea of having kids, i now absolutely do not and i think it's fun to deviate away from the canon.

so read below the cut for a part of a fic idea i have where fexi reunite after years apart and talk about how different their lives and themselves are.

(tw for mentions of abortion and ash’s death)

The light in the living room was soft and golden, both from the lamps Lexi tended to favor, and the crackling fire in the fireplace. Fez was feeling pleasantly calm from his joint and the ease of conversation between him and Lexi. Ten years had done nothing to the way they could be so comfortable in each others company and how they could tell each other anything.

“I got pregnant, y’know. Two years ago. It was one of the catalysts for all of this,” she gestures to the room around them, “Made me realize that those dreams I had told you all about when we were kids was just.... not what I wanted anymore.”

“No shit.” Fez nods knowingly. Fuck, a lot had changed for him too in the last ten years. No wonder it had changed for her too.

“Yeah. It was with my ex, Ryan. We thought we were solid. We weren’t married or anything, and we certainly weren’t trying for me to get pregnant but it happened. Before I took the test, I knew I was feeling weird about it. I was so nauseated, but not from the pregnancy. I just knew I didn’t want to be pregnant. So when the positive showed, I threw up.” Lexi swirls her wine, thinking, before continuing.

“Ryan would have kept it, but he could tell I didn’t want it. So I got an abortion. I wasn’t far along, it was easy for me to manage but I knew he was upset. It was one of the first nails in the coffin for our relationship.”

Fez lets out a long drag from his joint, “So why d’you not want kids no more?”

Lexi sighs, “I just started looking at my future and realized that the vision I had didn’t feature children anymore. I liked being on my own. Well, I guess just with Ryan at the time. Every time I thought about being pregnant, I felt nothing. I wasn’t excited about it like I used to be,” her eyes cast downwards, “and if I’m being completely honest, I thought a lot about what happened with Ash.”

He’s still then. The thoughts of his brother’s last moments rocketing back into his brain. The red dot on his forehead, the fear in his eyes. The thump as he hit the ground.

“I don’t mean to upset you, Fezco.” Lexi murmurs, “I’m sorry.”

“Nah, shawty. You good. He’s just... I’on know. It’s still hard to think about him.”

She nods, her hand reaching out and taking his, “He was a great kid, Fezco. That’s why I don’t want kids. They can be fantastic, you can do your best and try your hardest to do right by them but things happen outside your control.” she rubs her thumb across his knuckles, detecting the tension that was wracking his body.

“The thought of that kind of grief was just too much. I can be happy with just myself and a partner and still have a fulfilling life.”
