Summary: Love isn't something you do, it's something that happens to you. | Written for the dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Fate'.
Emily Charlton has never believed in destiny. She's never once assumed that any good, or bad, would come to her simply because it had been planned that way before her birth, and she doesn't believe that happens to other people, either. We are all, she says, products of our own decisions.
She doesn't know how to explain Serena.
Serena would say that it was inevitable. Fated. She'd say that even if one or both of them had never come to Runway, they'd have met in some other way. They would have had to because they were meant to be together.
The thing that confuses Emily is that she never chose this. She doesn't even like women, and Serena's not really her type anyway, and besides, she wants to move back to England one day and Serena finds England unbearably dreary, and so it can't possibly last. It shouldn't even have happened to begin with. And yet it did happen, in a series of smiles and laughs and held hands and hugs, shared lunches and after-work drinks and eyes that always seemed to find each other in crowded rooms, and one day Emily woke up in Serena's bed and realized that she'd accidentally fallen in love.
And for once, Emily is happy to let destiny direct her down a predetermined path, if only this one time. She doesn’t think any choice she could have made would have led her down a better one.
