    Summary

    Trish in Jessica’s arms smells like lavender shampoo and the ozone scent that comes after a lightning strike, fragility and power and so much feeling contained in one small person. Even with her knees cramping on the frosty grass and her friend’s tears soaking the front of her coat, Jess knows she is exactly where she’s supposed to be, exactly where she can only ever be: standing between the woman she loves and the storm.

    ————————

    If you, like me, love certified hot mess Trish Walker and thought she got a raw fucking deal in the finale, this one's for you. Begins partway through Season 3 Episode 12 (“A.K.A. A Lotta Worms”) and diverges from there.

    Or, Jessica trying to save Trish's soul, even though she hardcore doesn't believe in the whole redemption thing.

    Summary

    And it was a miracle, truly, that they were able to love each other despite and through all of that mess, despite and through all of the mess that would come later. To endure one another’s pain the way they did, and to do it voluntarily, because they couldn’t help but see themselves reflected back and back and back. Because their bond had always been the truest thing in their dark and desperate lives.

    Summary

    "She wants you. She asked for you. You look around the room in the dark, and you can think ours, as long as your eyes skip over the evidence of Sam’s presence, evidence that would ruin your fantasy of belonging, and sometimes you look at Annalise in her sleep, and you couldn’t dare think it when she’s awake, fearing she’d known, but you whisper to yourself, low and frightened, mine."

    After Annalise came back from Cleveland without child and with new trauma, something began to build between Bonnie and her, shaped from the wreckage of their lives.
