    Summary

    Carol finds it in the third week of living alone with an unhived Zosia: a New York Times article, “To Fall In Love With Anyone, Do This.” An intimacy experiment involving thirty-six increasingly personal questions and, at the end of it, four uninterrupted minutes of eye contact, which sounds fake and humiliating and somehow still not bad enough to stop her.

    Carol, obviously, prints it out.

    Summary

    Carol steadies her instantly, one arm firm around her waist, the other still sliding along her side. “Careful,” she murmurs, though there’s a smile in it.

    Zosia huffs a quiet laugh, breath still uneven. “You started it.”

    Carol’s mouth curves against hers. “I started it? I’m not the one dressed like that.”

    Or: It's Carol's birthday and Zosia has a surprise for her.

    A tie in fic to my pregnancy AU, 'Something Unexpected Between Us', but can be read on it's own.

    Summary

    “Careful, Detective,” Zosia says lowly, taking a deliberate step forward. She places her hand on the metal bar next to Carol’s and their fingers brush together. Neither of them pulls away. She tilts her head down ever so slightly. “That almost sounds like a compliment.”

    or

    All you need to know is that Detective Carol Sturka is a little sad, a little sarcastic, and a little horny.

    And Lieutenant Zosia Nowak is rude and hot.
