"When they hold on after, she is in that place again, suspended high above the world, unfurling and forgetting." Virginia-centric, Virginia/Bill. Set some time after 2.03, "Fight."
It's been a day for Virginia. She's angry. She's stressed. She has a headache. And there's work to be done.
As tough as she is, Dr. Lillian DePaul has allowed Virginia Johnson in on the most painful part of her life. Very much a master of her own inner-strength, Virginia still remains guarded in all things related to Dr. Bill Masters. Will secrets be the thing that divides their relationship or cements it?
"I've had relations a few times. But no one's ever stayed. You know, lingered. That's what I've missed out on—that kind of closeness." What if Lillian had known that kind of love, in a time before Masters and Johnson? Exploration of Lillian's past, slightly AU but not much.
Lillian doesn't know how to relax. Virginia shows her how. Pre episode 2x06.
Moments of Bill Masters before and during season one. One-shot. "He cannot afford to lose his resolve. He decided long ago that it was only for the rest of them to do so."
