Remember Me When
Summary: Emily turns to Spencer for advice on how to handle this whole kind-of-sort-of-dating-Ali thing. It might not be the best idea. [Text format.] / Hints of both Emily/Alison and Spencer/Emily 'cause why not.
Notes: I'm fascinated by text message formatting in fics, so this honestly spawned out of wanting to use this specific style of message. (I saw this format used in gyzym's Veronica Mars fic, A Strange New Story Every Time.) As Emily and Spencer messaged, though, something started to grow, and now there's a little fic that may or may not be told entirely through messages.
You can also find this fic on tumblr and AO3. My name's the same on everything.
Chapter 1
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:17am
Am I an idiot for still caring about her?
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:18am
Hello to you too, Em.
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:18am
It's late. I skipped the preamble. Am I an idiot?
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:19am
It's hard to stop caring about someone.
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:21am
My mom's convinced I still love her. She turned dinner into an opportunity to tell me to leave Ali to her own messes.
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:23am
Can't exactly argue with your mom on that one.
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:25am
It's not like I'm still totally head over heels in love with her. I just…. I've spent practically my whole life wondering what it would be like to be with Ali. How can I miss that chance?
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:28am
You kissed her, didn't you?
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:30am
She kissed back.
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:31am
Good God, Em.
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:32am
She wants to try. She wants me.
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:35am
Can you just sleep on it before you do anything?
IT meaning the idea of seriously dating Alison, not IT meaning sleep on Ali.
But if you do, don't tell me. I don't think I can handle knowing that.
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:37am
Why not? Aria tells you about her and Ezra.
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:39am
That's different.
Not 'cause they're straight and you're gay.
It's just different with Aria.
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:40am
….
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:45am
I'm making an ass of myself. Can we just talk tomorrow, in person, at a normal hour?
From Emily Fields to Spencer Hastings, 1:47am
Yeah. Sure.
From Spencer Hastings to Emily Fields, 1:50am
You're not an idiot.
We'll talk tomorrow. Sleep tight.
