    Summary

    Katniss Everdeen didn’t mean to fake an engagement with her boss.
    But one headline, one hand-hold, and one terrifyingly enthusiastic PR team later — and suddenly she’s wearing a ring, attending galas as more than just his assistant, and pretending not to notice how her heartbeat quickens everytime he gets just barely too close to her.

    Peeta, meanwhile, is supposed to be focused on running Mellark Media and finalizing a career-defining merger with SnowCorp.
    Not on his assistant.
    Now the lie is spiraling, the board is thrilled, Glimmer seems to be plotting something, and Katniss is starting to think this fake thing might be the realest relationship she’s ever had.

    Oops?

    Summary

    Panem is healing. Slowly, imperfectly—but the fences no longer hum, and laughter has returned to the festival square.

    Katniss Everdeen isn’t sure what to do with joy. She knows hunting, duty, and the quiet ache of debt that never quite gets paid.

    So when Peeta Mellark offers her two cheese buns in exchange for a single dance, she calls it a trade. A fair one.

    But nothing about the way he looks at her feels transactional.

    And Katniss, who has never accepted more than she could return, is suddenly unsure what she owes—and what she wants.

    All debts are not created equal.

    Summary

    “Besides, Bobby says-”

    “Wait? Bobby?” Lenny sits up straight. “You call him Bobby?!”

    “He calls me Midge.” She says it like this’s nothing at all. “Miriam and Robert is a bit of a mouthful.

    “Mrs. Maisel, do I need to be concerned?” Lenny’s half joking, half feeling a strong possessiveness towards a woman who’s technically never been his girlfriend. “Because I have heard some stories.”

    Midge both sighs and laughs. “God, you’re almost as bad as Joel.”
    ***
    California, 1968. Midge is a "Campaigning Comedian" for a certain senator. Lenny is staying sober and trying to write a book. A chance to reconnect accidentally corresponds with a tragic night at a Los Angeles hotel.

    Summary

    After Lenny’s Carnegie Hall speech, Midge is determined to take any opportunity that comes to her, and a European tour seems like exactly what she needs to get her career back on track.

    Cold War? Nuclear Armageddon? Threats of Russian invasion? In-laws? It all seems very distant compared to the reality of being a road comic and dealing with interminable car rides, foreign clubs, cheap hotels, and being so far from home and family.

    There shouldn’t be a lot of time to think about romance, and yet…

    Summary

    "The sun was rising, fingers of glorious orange, red and yellow crawling across the sky. The window appeared as a frame around a picture, dawn’s ascent bursting from the folds of a delicate skirt the color of burnt copper. I sighed and turned back to Peeta, holding his hand against my cheek." After all they have experienced, Katniss and Peeta realize that things can be good again.

    Summary

    “You’re in love with my daughter,” Abe said. It wasn’t a question.

    Lenny flicked the lighter shut and shrugged. “She’s my friend.”

    “You’re in love with my daughter,” he repeated.

    “I’m not trying to marry her, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Lenny took a drag of his cigarette, arms coming around himself like he was exposed and always, always trying to make a joke out of something.

    When Susie collapses during a set, Midge is terrifyingly unshaken. She seems to barely notice, acting as if nothing is wrong despite everyone knowing it is. When she tells her father she plans to do another routine the next night rather than visit Susie in hospital, Abe decides to call a friend.

    Summary

    She felt it then, the pang in her chest that brought nothing with trouble with it. The one she had felt with Joel. She was in love. With Lenny Bruce. She was in love with Lenny Bruce. The idea was so foreign yet had this layer of comfortable familiarity. He was an old pair of jeans she forget she had and, when Midge slipped them on she found they fit. He fit. Not knowing what to do next, she hung up the phone.

    Summary

    This story follows the relationship between Midge Maisel and Lenny Bruce in The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, starting from their first meeting in Episode 1 of Season 1. This covers their scenes throughout the five seasons (and beyond!) along with missing scenes that I like to imagine happened off-screen.

    It also has an alternative/fix-it ending because the canon ending for Midge and Lenny in the series finale was just way too heartbreaking for my liking :)

    Hope you enjoy! Any feedback is very much appreciated 😊

    These were her Constants. The things she knew, no matter what, would never change:
    1. She loved her family more than anything in the world.
    2. She lived and breathed music.
    3. Julie Molina knew, without a doubt in her mind, she hated Luke Patterson.

    Or, 5 times Julie Molina hated Luke Patterson, and 1 time she didn't.

    Summary

    Julie nearly has a heart attack – because right in front of her is the guy she plowed into two nights ago on the street – here he is: guitar in his arms, stupid cut-off Rush tee shirt that shows off his muscles, wispy ends of his hair in his face, and rings on his fingers. His eyes are closed as he sings into the mic – pretty and alluring.

    Julie can’t stop looking at him. And then he opens his eyes – he catches her staring; he has the decency to look surprised, but the audacity to smile at her.

    Suddenly Julie’s buzz isn’t enough -

     

     
    OR: a chance encounter, and what comes after.
