[ female / female-aligned reader]
+ she doesn't ask you out immediately
+ as a matter of fact, she doesn't even know if she likes you at all
+ she ignores you sometimes but honestly doesn't mean it
+ until you're like "lana we're partners what did i do wrong"
+ and you kinda name down some of the things you might've done
+ she's kinda astonished that someone can admit their wrongdoings, and especially since you really haven't done anything at all
+ she just sighs and admits she is feeling conflicted about you
+ you immediately shout that you're not dating archer, at all, because you think the issues lies there
+ she thinks that's it but it's not
+ later on, she's becomes much more nicer to you - and everyone's noticed this
+ they just speculate that you two had a fight and were working through it
+ but it's odd because lana spends way more time with you now
+ offering to eat lunch with you, visiting your office/desk area quite often, and being just a generally upbeat person now that she's started hanging out with you
+ ray and pam pick up on it immediately
+ ray makes sure pam doesn't start gossiping about it, just in case that they might be wrong
+ cheryl alludes to it one day while you and lana are going to go out for lunch this time, and you're getting your jacket while lana's waiting patiently
+ lana doesn't really freak out, but she gets angry for a few seconds before she realizes it
+ like... everyone's picked up on it
+ everyone.
+ ray encourages her to ask you out while you are... well out on what is basically a date
+ sterling would be at least obviously jealous, but he's more like "wow lana likes a chick"
+ she threatens to punch his heart out of his ass
+ so he shuts up
+ anyways on the date she does kinda confront her feelings for you
+ and you're like "i thought... this was a date as soon as you asked me"
+ and so you're a thing after that
+ it isn't like, publicized at work but everyone knows you're together
+ she makes sure everyone knows that, but she doesn't let everyone in on everything you two do
+ going on missions together
+ when you have to go with somebody else, she makes sure they protect you with their life
+ sterling offers to go with you two, alludes to threesomes and she does actually punch him. hard.
+ lunch dates all the time
+ pam fawning over you two because you two really are just too cute
+ she stays at your place a lot, and you have to make dinner for her
+ lana really does love spending time with you, and i mean she really, really does
+ because you are never boring, and you're always honest and treat her really well
+ you both have your things at each others' places
+ she shares perfume with you so you both smell sexy
+ buys lingerie specially for you because she always wants to look amazing
+ she's surprised that you're so nurturing and intuitive because she's never been with someone like that before
+ she trusts you a lot, but doesn't trust others around you
+ you guys went on a double date with archer and katya once, and that was because you wanted to and talked her into it
+ it never happened again
+ you can guess what might've happened
+ very extravagant dates when she plans
+ and homely dates when you do
+ basically living together after like five months
+ she's worn your shirts to work before and the gang never let it down
+ she's even styled her hair differently and pam had to take pictures so whoever was sick that day could see
+ not having a rivalry with cyril or sterling because you can actually talk to them on a deep level because you're just that good
+ there are fights because she hates when you go alone on missions and you hate how clingy she can be but you both understand why you're like this
+ doing stupid girlfriend things ? shopping for each other, teasing, watching movies on the couch, deep talks that last only a few minutes but they're memorable, long bubble baths and then - the best activity -- dancing around the apartment happily and maybe breaking something valuable but hey it's whatever
+ oh she says 'i love you' after the eighth month but only if she's absolutely sure it's the right time
+ she's such a tall girlfriend so what she does is cup your face with both her hands and looks down at you with a bunch of adoration
+ and your gay ass just tries to smirk smugly but you fail because you blush too much
+ inside jokes that some of the gang wants to be apart of but they can't bc those are your jokes
+ texts you a lot when you're busy doing work
+ once you didn't text back because you forgot your phone on a mission and you traced it back to find 12 missed texts and 37 unanswered calls
+ let's just say you two almost went on a nonsensical break after that
+ but you were saved by none other than sterling himself
+ he talked sense into her and you were behind him the whole time, smugly looking at her with crossed arms like "it's true, bitch!"
+ her pet name for you can be bitch at times, literally, because she thinks it's hilarious
+ and you do too but your pet names for her are more loving
+ "hello, my little banana split - how was your day today?"
- "honey bunches of oates"
- "beautiful red... flag."
+ "did you just call me a red flag?"
+ "ye- well, because you're wearing a red dress.... and there's a flag behind you...."
+ cheryl and pam invite you two to have sex with her, malory and ron - you and lana both immediately rebuff their advances
+ you two did do a karaoke night with the two though, and everyone else came along
+ everyone got drunk as fuck but you didn't as much because you had to keep an eye on everyone, or at the very least your girlfriend. archer can ... at least take some care of himself, even when he's drunk - he's at his peak
+ protecting her thoroughly and being the only one to stop her from getting into fights with archer
+ which even he's like what the hell??
+ if you're ever separated, and ESPECIALLY if you're in trouble, she takes lead and if anyone questions her authority - they're in huge trouble
+ ray makes a group chat and all u do is post "i love my gf!" memes and she loves them but everyone else is like "literally shut the fuck up"
+ she likes being the little spoon because your little arms wrapped around her make her heart melt
+ you hug her from behind usually while she hugs you from the front because she loves stroking your hair
+ your song is "blue velvet" by lana del rey
+ getting her into your favorite things and vice versa
+ you guys aren't so lovey dovey around everyone because that's your business but sometimes you can flirt way too much
+ malory told you two to shut the hell up
+ whenever a guy flirts with you she butts in, even if she might blow her cover
+ but you come up with a reason as to why she did if you two are questioned
+ sometimes archer steps in to stop her from blowing the mission
+ which can sometimes turn things worse, but he really tries to help
+ you get why she gets jealous so much even if it gets annoying
+ but she doesn't go full blown jealous and won't cheat on you if she thinks it'll happen with you
+ because she knows what it's like to be cheated on
+ comforting her all the time, especially about insecurities
+ "NO YOUR HANDS AREN'T HUGE!!!!"
+ meeting her parents after two years
+ archer warns you about this
+ "seriously, y/n, don't do it-"
+ "ARCHER STOP MAKING MY GIRLFRIEND AFRAID OF MY PARENTS"
+ they love you but you know you two have to lie about your jobs
+ now when i say they love you, it's as a person and because you're so smart and mature
+ and you offer to take them out for dinner and to pay
+ but they aren't so supportive of the whole... woman/woman thing
+ but her mom is more okay with it, so long as you two aren't "open" about it
+ she doesn't get as angry but you do
+ you keep your cool though but your facade is clearly fake
+ "yes I LOVED the main course, claudette :))))))"
+ when you two get back archer's there like "ok but what did i tell u"
+ he's supportive 100% by the way
+ even he can get jealous for her
+ and he defends you two a lot
+ when you two have to pose as a couple lana gets super angry but he's like "gross y/n's like a sister"
+ so that door is closed
+ everyone loves u two together
+ because you two aren't gross or getting everyone else in your drama, despite you knowing that your drama kinda is everyone else's drama because everyone's friends (family, basically) there but you set boundaries
+ she finds it hard it imagine a future without you
+ even if you two were to ever break it off, she'd still trust you with not throwing her feelings away
+ and she knows that your intentions and feelings are always good-natured towards her
+ so even if the future were to break you two up, you'd still be in her life and that is so much better than nothing
+ but you don't break up, even if there's close calls
+ because when she's ready to pack everything up and leave - you know you should put your feelings out there instead of making a mistake and let her go
+ and she realizes that she doesn't want to go ever - because that's always permanent
+ you don't want her to go either
+ and so you both stay
