Summary
Gwen really doesn't have time to be the OIAR's IT desk on top of everything else, but Alice has an error and will probably break something if she tries to fix it, so Gwen doesn't exactly have a choice. But maybe a moment for them to talk alone will help with more than just an ethernet problem.
(It's literally just the ending of TMAGP 17 but with slightly better communication. Be the change you want to see in the world.)

Summary
Love was a proven irrationality for men of his kind. To say to anyone, "My heart is yours," would bring on his beloved the permanent threat of being cast off from society, safety, home--Unconscionable. He'd thought the impulse long conquered. Now he saw that time had only distilled it. It was no wild, unfocused longing now, but a concentrated need. To touch a loved face tenderly--it was such a simple thing to be so entirely out of reach.

As if the World Should Roll Itself Out Like a Cloak by earlybloomingparentheses

Summary
I picked up my drink and took a small sip, allowing the smoky liquid to burn at the back of my throat before swallowing it down. Heat blossomed in my stomach, the sensation perfectly in harmony with my feelings in that moment: warm, bright, hovering indecisively between calm contentment and a headier, more restless euphoria. My eyes traveled from the day’s paper to the man who sat beside me, reading and re-reading a letter, unaware that his presence was the source of my continued and consuming joy.
Watson feels deeply for Holmes, but what it is he feels is less than clear.

Summary
It takes a near miss for Holmes to realize that he cannot imagine his life without Watson.
“You found me,” I said softly, gratefully. “You came back for me.” It was all I could say, and I repeated it quietly to myself as Holmes began to ease me to my feet.“I’ll always come back for you, Watson,” he said, his voice beginning to return to the tone of cool interest which was its usual character. “I am only sorry it took such a very long time.” An embarrassed melancholy touched his features, and I hated to see it.
