Summary
In which Therese is a trust-fund baby struggling to hold onto her nightmare of a summer job. Gen swears up and down that Carol is an (incredibly unwilling) sugar daddy. Carol has no clue what a sugar daddy is (and would rather not find out, thank you Genevive) - she’s just trying to make it through the summer with the world’s least competent research intern. Dannie is increasingly concerned that Therese has unwittingly joined a lesbian cult. Richard doesn't understand why Therese is so insistent their first date is at Thanksgiving dinner with her father, but hey, at least she's finally agreeing to go out with him - right? Right? And Abby is surrounded by idiots - it's going to take at least 10 years off her lifespan.

Summary
“You met Harge. And you're surprised someone would try to kill him?” Therese asked, watching the police officer through her sunglasses.
He glared out at a boat sailing on the lake, his arms crossed. “...I’m surprised it was you,” he explained.
After several moments of silence, Therese sipped her lemonade, the ice clinking in her crystal glass.
He turned his glare on her. “Don’t you have anything to say?” he demanded as he pulled out his handcuffs.
Therese considered it for a few moments, eyes darting between him, his handcuffs, and his holster. She raised her glass and toasted, “Happy Fourth of July.”

Summary
A modern day, AU twist on Carol’s and Therese’s relationship.
I know this won’t be some of your cups of tea, and that’s okay. I appreciate that.
But this is an idea I’ve had for awhile now and I thought I’d just go along with it!
P.s, in my stories, they are never far away from a bit of drama.
More to come. Enjoy.

Summary
Therese is an architect starting her career at the illustrious A&R Architects Firm, but when her life collides with Carol's can they build something real together or is it destined to come crumbling down?
Now that I've subjected you all to that egregious pun, I'll tell it like it is: Carol, Therese, the usual cast of characters getting up to some hijinks (gay shit) in NYC while pretending to know how to navigate adulthood and career and love. Can they build something real together or is it destined to come crumbling down? (sorry, I did it again) Come for the bad puns, stay for the (gay) obsession with hands and buildings.

Summary
Therese removed the napkin to find a blush-tinted imprint of Carol’s lips on the glass’s rim. She shrugged to Dannie as though she wasn’t crushed inside by this complete stranger’s departure, and grabbed the glass as casually as if on bar-back duty, going away to clean it. But she didn’t do that.
Once out of sight, her body acted on some deep, animal impulse before she could stop it. She pressed her lips to Carol’s lingering ones and tipped the drink back, letting its smooth, rich flavor slide down her throat, until all of it was inside her. It was strong. It was good.
She went to dry her guilty mouth with the napkin, but black ink on its underside caught her eye.
Great taste.

x CarolGoddamnit.
This was the last thing she needed. This was exactly what she’d wanted.
This was going to be a fucked up summer.
