[A few days after the December squiring party, Faye sends a text. The list of those who get the mass text is pretty short.

Lila Zacharov
Andie Dodge
Felictiy Braddock
Emma Swan
Mr Gold
...Diana Meade

The last one may or may not be out of spite.]

I'm getting promoted. I guess there's a party after the ceremony.

[That's... sort of an invitation??]

Comments

Congratulations.

Is the ceremony a public affair? I'd like to come.

[asap]

OMG THAT SI SOS AWESOMD WHEN IS IT

[reallywicked]

From what Nessa's telling me, I guess I get to choose who to invite. So if you're not doing anything and you want to stop by?

[She's bad at being friendly.]

[reallywicked]

What have I told you about speed texting. I guess it's soon. But every day is an eternity for you, right?

[uncurse]

I'll try to keep my schedule open. Guess she was impressed by your work in Paris.

[reallywicked]

Guess so. [Which means she may have Christos to thank for something? Ugh gross. She will hope that Anastacia spread the good word.]

I keep thinking she's just pulling a prank on me or something

[bittersweeter]

So our plan worked. You're welcome.

[uncurse]

Somehow, I get the feeling this kind of thing is off limits for pranking. You earned it.

[allmydreams]

Congrats! I'm there, just let me know when and where.

[reallywicked]

Want to get stupid drunk at my party to celebrate?

[reallywicked]

Once I have the details, I'll fill you in.

[Is this what having friends feels like??]

[reallywicked]

[There's no response for a good chunk of time before she finally responds with a single word.]

Thanks.

[Thanks for believing she earned it. Thanks for putting up with her. Thanks for caring, even if she never asked you to or wanted you to.]

[bittersweeter]

Duh. You're such a cute drunk.

[reallywicked]

shut up

[bittersweeter]

Ha! Never gonna happen. When is this shit going down?

[uncurse]

Hey, don't thank me. You're the one who did the heavy lifting.

[allmydreams]

[It might just be.]

Fantastic. I'll see you then.

[reallywicked]

Don't be so hard on yourself. You weren't THAT hard to boost.

[reallywicked]

End of the month, I think. It was kind of vague when she told me about it.

[uncurse]

Gee, thanks.

[reallywicked]

Hey maybe once I'm a Knight they'll stop sticking me on every mission with Sir Stick Up His Ass.

[uncurse]

Don't hold your breath. But hey, maybe they just cycle him around the newbies, and we did our time.

[undealt]

I wouldn't dream of missing it.

[bittersweeter]

Did you get promoted because you proved you're not the grinch because you love me?

[reallywicked]

Wow. Wynn is kind of a dick if that's true. But I also don't want to put up with Christos. Guess I have to hope our fearless leader is a douche.
