[falseeeyelashes]

SOUSED
we could make cocktails out of ice & water

mad men. rather than make amends, peggy makes mistakes. post-6x04. peggy/stan. 4580 words.

notes: um, porn?!?! over the last week, I've apparently not only fallen headlong into obsessing over mad men, but these two in particular? this takes place immediately following the events in 6x04, so,

"And eventually there’d be a bar, a bar a lot like this one or maybe this one exactly, and they’d drink (because they had a bad day, because they had a good day, because neither of them is ever going to say, “I miss you” outright)"

As sexy as the, well, sexy parts were (and they were SEXY), this sentence is the one that got to me the most.

Great story, great writting, everything made perfect sense and was in character. Looking forward to a sequel.Great job!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear it! And oh man, depending on how the rest of the season goes, I'd be more than happy to write a sequel haha. Here's hoping for more Peggy and Stan moments in future episodes!

Holy crap this was good.

“Are you still mad at me?” she finally asks quietly.

“I’ll get over it,” he says, his voice a low rumble. He takes a step towards her.

Was just AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Thank you!!!

Well this was glorious. I too was recently hit by the Stan/Peggy train and can think of little else as I obsessively watch Mad Men these days so I feel ya. This was great, so well-done and poignantly written and just great. I hope you write more for them!

[falseeeyelashes]

Thank you so much! And hahaha I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one blindsided by sudden, earnest interest in these two!

he way he watches her -- critical but oddly kind, like he can’t wait to pick her apart but expects to find all the things he likes.

I don't watch Mad Men and I have no idea what's going on except for what tumblr tells me about Peggy and Stan, but I really loved this line!!!!!!!!!!!

[falseeeyelashes]

THANK YOU, DUDE!!!!!!!

And ahahaha basically everything tumblr tells you is all you need to know; I don't understand why this show isn't just about the characters I want!!!!!

[orangesparks]

someone else has finally written stan/peggy? i'm no longer alone??? i could weep with happiness, holy shit.

i loved everything about this, but specifically:

When Abe kisses her, it’s like he’s trying to share something with her, a secret, an emotion, and this is the only way he knows how to get his point across to her. Peggy rarely gets the point.

ouch. such an accurate portrayal of their relationship.

Thank you so much!

And I gotta say -- I've reread your Stan/Peggy fics now going on multiple times haha. I AM SO GLAD THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS WRITTEN THEM!
