    Summary

    Wednesday does not get jealous.

    “Jealousy is an emotion for insecure fools who don’t love themselves. I do not partake in such things,” is what she said to Enid.

    Except, she does get jealous. Enid notices-and she loves it. Even if Wednesday will never admit she’s right.

    Summary

    Away went Enid’s joyous coworker fantasies, filed back into the same cabinet as fairies, unicorns, and Taylor Swift coming out as gay.
    “I know places we can hide” would never be a lyric about closeted lesbian romance, and Wednesday Addams would never be the coworker of her dreams.

    --
    Wednesday joins the staff at Nevermore Café. It's the worst thing that could've happened. Until it starts being a little bit okay.

    Summary

    Sheer determination is not everything, though, and after exactly eight seconds Stephanie finds herself laying flat on her back after getting knocked down with a very real-feeling baseball bat. For a moment, she thinks the strange sound is her ears ringing, but then she sits up and finds Batgirl standing next to Batman, her shoulder shaking slightly.

    She’s laughing, Stephanie realizes. Batgirl must catch her staring because she makes a quick, swiping motion with her hand.

    “I think,” Batman says, and Stephanie wonders if she has a concussion after all, because he kind of sounds amused, “she’s telling you to be faster.”

    ...

    In a world when you have your soulmate's first words to you imprinted in their handwriting somewhere on your body, the fact Stephanie can't decipher hers seems like the least of her problems, most of the time.

    Summary

    She could have stayed in her room, in her cozy, warm room doing her research with the wonders of a working wi-fi and heated duvet. Instead, Enid is here, seated in an uncomfortable chair, with her hotspot failing to maintain a connection with the outside world for more than a few seconds. Wondering why she came here in the first place is pointless; the cause of her misery is sitting right in front of her, annoyingly at ease in the chill.

    or:

    Enid and Wednesday go to the library; feelings ensue.

    Summary

    There’s a pause, and then Wednesday speaks again. “I admit that I do have one ulterior motive in asking you to visit for the holidays.”

    Enid laughs, unsurprised; there’s the Wednesday she knows, even a phone line and a coast away. “Yeah? What is it?”

    “I told my parents that I’m in a relationship,” Wednesday says, offhand, like it’s just another sentence and not a lightning strike to Enid’s heart. "With you, specifically."
