    Summary

    “So.” Sophia turns to face her fully. Her antlers glow faintly in the emergency lights. Manon wonders if that’s intentional or if Sophia just has that effect on lighting. “I think we might be stuck here.”

    No shit, Manon nearly quips. But Sophia’s only here because of her, and that small, small, she emphasizes, small guilty part of Manon feels awful about that. So…kindness rules. For the day.

    “Merry apocalypse,” Manon, sarcastic — because even though she won’t say something as harsh as no shit, that doesn’t mean she’s going to be one of God’s perfect little angels. Go to the church a few streets down for one of those — and filled with faux-cheer, remarks.

    Or: Manon and Sophia are co-workers. It's all fine and dandy, till a snowstorm comes and leaves them stuck in the office together. An office with a continually lowering temperature. It's a good thing they're hopelessly in love (human body heat is a phenomenal thing, indeed)!

    Summary

    @laffaboutsophia: love doesn’t need to be loud to be real. it can in the quiet moments too. look at the way steph stares at lebron when he thinks no one is watching.. he’s yearning. he doesn’t wanna be noticed 💔

    Manon stares at the words until they blur.

    “Yearning,” she mutters. “Steph Curry. Yearning.”

    Her thumbs are already moving.

    @strapdaddy: tell that to ur faves who most definitely spit on eo’s face during practice

    Or: Sophia and Manon are both fic writers of bronsteph, but with diverging opinions on their dynamic, can’t stop arguing 24/7. They think they hate each other. Everyone else thinks they should just kiss.

    (Spoiler Alert: everyone else ends up right).

    Summary

    She goes to church for the first time again in years. The smell of bibingka and puto bumbong mix with the sampaguitas in the air, while the night is illuminated by twinkling Christmas lanterns. Nine days. She gives Manon nine days before Christmas to meet her at the church during simbang gabi.

    She finds out Manon has blocked her from all social media when she tries to send the message, so she reaches out to her assistant and manager. She doesn’t even know if she received it. And yet Sophia sits there, in a church where she’ll never marry waiting for a woman who doesn’t have her ring.

    Summary

    “You… You’re—” she choked, but the rest didn’t come. Her mouth wouldn’t cooperate, words logjammed behind panic and confusion and oh my god oh my god oh my god she was right. She was so right. And it made her want to throw up. Because this didn’t just mean Sophia had a cool secret. It meant she’d been fighting people. It meant she’d been flying across cities and risking her actual life while also showing up to rehearsals and nailing harmonies and acting like everything was fine. It meant that when they were all backstage complaining about broken nails or lack of sleep, Sophia had been hiding bruises that no one could explain.

    Her eyes snapped back to Sophia, who was still lounging, her head swaying slightly. She blinked, confused, clearly out of it. “What?” Sophia mumbled, voice syrupy and soft.

    And then she slumped. Right into Manon’s arms.

     

    or

     

    Sophia is Superwoman, and Manon doesn't know what to feel about it.
