You sure you don't wanna go on the couch or in the bed? You complain we never have sex. Just shut up and fuck me. Okay.
MADELINE MACKENZIE & ED MACKENZIE | Big Little Lies — 1.05: Once Bitten
BIG LITTLE LIES (2017-2019) ⬖ S1E1 "Somebody's Dead" dir. Jean-Marc Vallée
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Big Little Lies (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Renata Klein & Madeline Martha MacKenzie Characters: Renata Klein, Madeline Martha Mackenzie Additional Tags: Panic Attacks, Mental Breakdown, Mention Of Adultery, Mention of manslaughter, Mention of Death, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, There is more hurt and angst than comfort tho, The other three are also here but only in the beginning so I didn't tag them, this is very self-indulgent in a weird sort of way, Renata and Madeline are actually friends, In an enemies-to-friends sort of way Summary:
In the aftermath of the confession™, Renata finally let herself feel something on the beach. It is quite the explosion and Madeline is there to collect the pieces.
Ok, so, I wrote this like, two months ago, right after I finished binging the two seasons of BLL in two days. It took me ages to post it tho, because I wasn't satisfied with it at first and then I started uni again and well, we all know how the song goes ^^
I just needed to explore how Renata dealt with everything after the finale because god, the last episode was just using her like a punching ball and we didn't even get to see the aftermath. I also needed to explore a bit more Madeline and Renata's friendship and dynamic because the one they have at the end of season 2 is so radically different from season 1, it fascinates me. And so, this fic was born! I hope you'll like it as much as I liked writing it ;)
A huge thanks to @bourbon-ontherocks for the ever so useful beta-reading. I could not post a fic without you these days so thank you, really <3

big little lies concept playlist:
the housewife curse
Out here shipping all of the women in Big Little Lies like it’s absolutely nobody’s business.
If you put Gregory house up against Madeline Mackenzie in like verbal battle Madeline would win because she would annoy him by talking so much and also her short girl confidence would out do him ans his many insecurities
Sat down to watch Big Little Lies, why do some of the cuts and angles make me ship Jane×Madeline.
