A/N: Hacks Week 2023 is officially here! As the first fic I've written in many, many months, enjoy a smutty missing scene from ep. 2x03 set after the bad set, dumpster diving, and what we saw of the dive bar scene, but before the next day at the Grand Canyon
Fic Preview:
When Ava finally relented and agreed to Deborah’s suggestion that she get back to being good tomorrow, Ava didn’t have any intentions of being bad. Just a brief pause from her self-imposed punishment. A night to have a glass of mediocre white wine in a shitty bar half cloaked in darkness.

And Deborah had climbed into a Wendy’s dumpster for her, stupidly expensive silk pajamas and all. “What’s your deal?” Ava blurted out before her brain could catch up with her mouth. (What was even the point of getting an old brick of a phone when she could say stupid stuff aloud, no internet needed?)
Deborah propped her chin on the palm of her hand as one eyebrow slowly crept up into a perfect arch. “Excuse me?”
“You—you’re being nice to me.”
“Oh. That.” Deborah shrugged a shoulder a little too nonchalantly.
“You got into a dumpster for me.”
“I got into a dumpster for your father.”
“You literally never met the man.”
“And? You think I can’t like someone I’ve never met better than I like you?”
