“'Yeah, we just moved in together.' Ava describes the house with more adjectives and features, as if vaulted ceilings and natural light will make up for nearly a year apart with no contact from Deborah."
Or: Picking up in Season 3, what if Ava and Deborah were forced to face the truth when they ran into one another again?

"She took screenshots of her notes and airdropped them to Deborah’s iPad. Five images. Just the notes. Share. Airdrop.
The iPad pinged. Deborah glanced down. Her eyes lingered for a second too long. Then she looked up at Ava, one brow lifting. “You might want to check what else you just sent me.”
Ava frowned, thumb swiping on her phone then froze. Her stomach dropped so hard she felt dizzy. “Oh no.” Along with the notes, she sent a nude she took last night at the hotel they were staying at."
go ahead and pull the pin by greekdemigod
4k words, rated M, ending rewrite of s03e06 (the golf episode)
Bob Lipka's standing at the bottom of the stairs, and it's not hard to discover why he has not moved further. At the end of his line of sight, Deborah is laughing with that writer of hers, showing her how to stand, how to hold a club, how to swing. They're turned into each other, the two of them against the world. Marty has seen them together this way so often he knows they won't care for any other company. Looking at them always feels a little like intruding on a secret.
Or: in which Ava goes to find Deborah while she's out golfing by herself.

“Life on Earth originated here, then evolved the cells to contemplate journeying upward,” she raises a hand to point to the stars, “Out there. Something too far away to touch, and yet,” her hand splashes into the water.
“And yet, that is where we live,” Philippa says.
“As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts,” Philippa says.
In a universe of variables, Melville becomes their constant.

Do You Remember? by TheGuardingDark
33k, rated T, Butch Andy Sachs

The Mystery Stranger by lilolilyrae
6k, rated T, Post-Canon, Getting Together
After the first time Andy waved at Miranda on the street, they develop a routine, with Andy waving and Miranda nodding or smiling slightly in reply whenever they see each other. They never speak, but somehow, these meetings are still a comforting constant in both their lives.
What will happen when Andy suddenly loses her memory?

“You seem lonely, Yennefer. Do you want to be friends?” A friend. Yennefer's never had a friend before. She wonders what it’s like, whether Triss will be nice to her, whether Triss will stay by her side, and gods, she wants to be Triss' friend, to play and chatter and laugh with her, something Yennefer has never gotten to do with other children.
Or: Yennefer and Triss meet when they're children, only to be torn apart a decade later, and they spend decades thinking that the other is dead. But one day, when a sorceress of Aretuza saves a witcher of Kaer Seren, Yennefer wonders why this witcher looks so familiar. But Triss is dead, isn't she?
