This was, again, beautiful and heartbreaking. It fits seamlessly with Drunk, and I like seeing what happened after Drunk ended I hope you write more in this universe you've created. I feel like there is a lot to explore here.

I have to say that this is probably one of my favorite parts and it stuck out to me when reading:

He focuses for a moment on the test still in front of him, red pen lying across it with the tip pointing covertly at Rachel’s thigh. She reaches over and picks up the pen and circles the right answer on the question he’d marked just before she’d come in.

He nods, admitting defeat on all fronts. He’s too quickly exhausted in opposition with her, and he knows it, and he doesn’t care. She holds the pen out for him and he takes it and grips it at both ends with his hands. He squeezes so tight it will soon bend and then break. Before it does she takes it from him and lays it back on the paper. He doesn’t look up, but he turns his hand up and lets her thread her fingers through his.

I think this is a good example of why you are one of my favorite writers. The extra details and actions are just perfect. I think that is what makes your fics seem so realistic. It adds a depth and greater dimension and I can't help falling in love with them.
