Summary: While Jane waits, Darcy comforts her.



This is definitely not in the job description.

Darcy’s just an intern - a glorified gopher, and after the things she’s seen with Jane Foster (otherworldly gods and epic battles) she takes pride in the job. She feels chosen, and when Jane needs something, Darcy is ready to oblige.

She becomes Jane’s confidant. Jane trusts Darcy with her secrets, cries on her shoulder, and tells her about her dreams.

“Am I foolish for waiting for him?” Jane cries to her one night. Too many nights of looking into the stars, with her research coming along at a snail’s pace. Darcy can only offer a shoulder as Jane scoots next to her, fitting nicely into Darcy’s arms.

Despite the woman teasing her that Darcy often annoys her, they’ve formed a bond - a kinship of sisters. Darcy isn’t this close to her real family, and some nights, though she will never say, she yearns for Jane’s company.

Night after night Jane falls asleep in Darcy’s arms. She drags herself from her computer with convoluted, mind-numbing research and crashes in Darcy’s bed. Darcy accepts her openly, and the two girls hold one another closely throughout the night. Sometimes, Jane wakes up to nightmares, with tears streaming down her cheeks, and Darcy rouses, dutifully kissing them away.

She doesn’t expect Jane to take things further, to let her hands roam freely and urgently - yearning to fill a desperate need that may never be fulfilled. Darcy doesn’t stop her, and she admits to herself that she truly wants this, that she’ll fill this hole that Thor has left.

If Thor comes back someday, Darcy doesn’t know what she’ll do, even beyond her internship. She only knows that no matter what, she can’t leave Jane, not as long as she needs her like this.
