Summary
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

Summary
If all he had were these moments, slow and steady touches and looks in crowded rooms where nothing could be mistaken as anything else, he thinks he could live off them. He might be emaciated at the end of the day, starving for what’s not being said—but as long as Syd throws him a bone, he’ll return to her.
or, Sydney and Carmy attend four weddings.

Summary
"The Tuesday after she gave him the shirt back and he ruined her life with a scarf, things are suspiciously fine. Good, even. Service is smooth, dishes go out on time, there’s barely a raised voice in the kitchen. At one point Carmy puts his hand on her back to get past her and she doesn’t even react. Her self-control needs to be studied in history books. "
(Or as Virginia Woolf said, "Yes yes yes I do like you. I am afraid to write the stronger word.")

Summary
It was a surprise, but a welcome one, when he’d asked her out. He’d slid her biscuits across the desk, their fingers brushing, a frequent occurrence of late; he’d put his hands in his pockets, inquired after her evening plans, and when she’d admitted to a night in, nothing but a Wallander marathon and a bottle of Chardonnay, he’d suggested they go out—dinner, maybe a movie, maybe a dip in the Thames (she’d glared, but it’d been so half-hearted, with the way her chest had constricted and her throat had closed up and the thought had pressed in, please, please let this be it).

Summary
He sighs, “People make mistakes sometimes Rebecca. I thought you of all people would be able to remember that and not expect me to be perfect.”
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” she hisses at him, eyes flashing angrily.
And he can’t help it because honestly if she’s already angry with him, if he’s already fucked it up by holding it all in he might as well let it go now.
“You slept with Sam for fucks sake Rebecca!” he yells back at her, feeling for the first time the full weight of his anger about it and the relief of finally letting it be heard.

I don't know if I believe there were ~feeeeelings~ in season two, but that scene in the boot room WAS weird and does feel like it needs explanation, so thumbs up to this story for getting there. Nice romantic resolution and good dialogue.

Summary
What if when he sees me, I like him and he knows it? What if he opens up a door and I can't close it? What happens then? If when he holds me, my heart is set in motion. I'm not prepared for that, I'm scared of breaking open.
Rebecca insists that Ted is not her type. Rebecca is an idiot.

Summary
If Keeley had been surprised by any of it—the sheer amount of food or Rebecca’s fidgeting or the fact that they were making three fucking pies (pecan, pumpkin, and apple butter) because Beard wasn’t sure which one Ted liked best and what was the point, really, if they didn’t have everything Ted wanted, if she didn’t make it all perfectly, if it wasn’t what he needed—
Keeley hadn’t called her on any of it. Which she was grateful for. And a little suspicious of. But mostly grateful, for the way her friend kept looking at her every so often with a soft, reassuring smile.
“He’s going to love it,” she kept saying. “Even if you burn the pudding, he’ll still love it.”

Lovely story (aside from the heresy against pie).

Summary
"What exactly do you mean by ‘funk’?”
“A style of music popularised by James Brown — he’s fuckin’ sad Rebecca, what do you think?” Roy growls at her.
“I’d have described it as a deep existential angst but sad works too,” Beard shrugs.
“Well you two are his closest friends, what do you want me to do about it?,” she says, flustered by the way her heart has sunk to her stomach at hearing that he’s not okay but entirely unprepared to let Beard and Roy see exactly how much that makes her feel.
“Cheer him up,” Roy says bluntly.

Summary
Ted isn’t sure what the heck is happening and suddenly he thinks maybe he should just hang up. Hang up the phone and go to bed and never listen to the rest of the voicemail again. It feels like eavesdropping in a way - she has clearly had more than a bit to drink, she’d never be this candid if she wasn’t hammered. Except Rebecca is talking about kissing him and there’s no way he can hang up now.

Summary
There was nothing else to do really, he’d tell himself later. Not with her looking at him like that, like he lassoed the moon for her or something - and he kinda liked that, he had to remember to work that into a conversation sometime. Not with whatever it was she didn’t say. Not with the mistletoe right there, the perfect excuse to lean in and kiss her.

“Tomorrow,” Jonathan says, hesitantly. “If I don’t believe you right away. We should have a code word, or something.”
“It won’t . . . ” Nancy sighs, and shrugs a little. “That won’t work. You won’t remember this at all.” She gives him a rueful smile. “I’m the only one who will.”

More substantive than many of the other Ted/Rebecca fics I've read. Also it has a kitten.

Summary
Have you ever wondered what could have happened between Cully and Troy in the months after "Death and Dreams"? A story in seven acts. Keep in mind that, in setting this story in the context of the show's many plots, I have put the episodes in an order that I find useful, rather than as they were broadcast. Certain background details will be pulled and adapted from Caroline Graham's novels. Since text messages will become a vehicle for communication, they will be both underlined and italicized to preserve the uniqueness and chaos of 2004 T9 text messaging.
