Summary
Alther: Secrets aren't good for any friendship. It'll tear you up, the more you go on like this. Feelings don't just go away on their own without a catalyst in either direction (telling him and overcoming it, taking space). You two could be something wonderful. I absolutely believe that. There will always be some risk involved in love, Marcia, but I see the way he treats you. You are his biggest priority.
She unlocked her phone and typed out a response.
Marcia: I'm not ready for things to change. You know how I feel about it and why. Things can't change. I'm too afraid of losing him to tell him what he means to me. Now, enough of that nonsense. Where would you like to meet tomorrow?
She hit send — and then her heart shuddered to a stop. The contact name at the top of the screen read Marcellus. It took her brain about two milliseconds to connect the dots.
Or:
Dr. Marcia Overstrand sends an emotionally revealing text to the wrong number. She's not ready for the fall-out.
But perhaps the fall-out isn't a fall-out at all. Maybe it's the start of something wonderful.
Or:
The wrong number text fic no one asked for.Bookmarked by VadeRetro

Summary
The spring equinox festival marks a shift of the seasons and in Marcia and Marcellus's relationship.
***
He settled the crown in her hair and adjusted it, pinning it in place. His gentle fingers sent chills running down the length of her back. She caught her breath and held it until he was done.He clasped his hands behind his back and admired his work. "Beautiful."
Her heart dropped. "Oh."
"Now you look the picture of spring."
She didn't know what to say. She nodded. Too many times. Forced herself to stop.
"Do you want to keep browsing? I think I saw another stall for books on the other side."
She nodded mutely and got up to follow him. The flower crown sat heavy on her head. She touched it, pinched a petal between her fingers.
Beautiful.
Oh, what she would give to have that word directed toward her rather than some silly flower crown. It was pathetic, really, how much she wanted it. She was too old to be pining for someone like this. Much too old, and busy, and smart, and logical.
And yet...

Summary
His eyes lock with those of his only friend, and the grey eyes that had looked so serious back then are wide and frightened. One of 412's arms has let go of the boat’s edge as if to reach out to him, even though it is already too late.
Stop that, you idiot, he can’t help but think. Or you’ll fall too.
He has the sense to try and take as deep of a breath as he can before he hits the water.
