Oswin starts heating the milk for SallyвЂ™s cappuccino, adding: вЂњcan I get you anything, Larry?вЂќ Sally rolls her eyes, and Larry finally sits down beside her at the counter.

Has anyone ever mentioned to you how much you look like Carey Mulligan?вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™m pretty sure if I was going to kill you IвЂ™d have found a quicker way of luring you here than two years of talking about knights in armour and brothers shagging,вЂќ Oswin points out.

вЂњHe totally thought you were a murderer,вЂќ Sally says without looking up, adding: вЂњcan I get a green tea cookie and a cappuccino, please?вЂќ вЂњI hope you donвЂ™t mind I brought Sally,вЂќ Larry blurts, slightly awkward, вЂњI mean, I didnвЂ™t think you were a murderer or anythingвЂ¦вЂќ вЂњHe wonвЂ™t tell me his username,вЂќ Sally confides, sliding onto one of the stools at the counter and pulling a menu towards herself. Straight guys in slash fandom occasionally feel rare enough to be unicorns, and Oswin can barely remember how she ended up as a beta for one she thinks she answered a post on the merlinxarthur LJ comm, something like that anyway. His cheeks blossom into a flush, but he smiles anyway. вЂњYou do really write excellent gay porn for a straight guy.вЂќ вЂњI am,вЂќ Oswin agrees on a grin, and then cocks her head in LarryвЂ™s direction. Oswin guesses that sheвЂ™s the first fandom person to cross the line into real life for him itвЂ™s been so long since she started going to meet-ups that sheвЂ™s almost forgotten the first dizzy blur of someone stepping out of a computer screen and into your reality. вЂњAnd youвЂ™re Oswin,вЂќ Sally says, holding out a hand, while Larry mostly seems wide-eyed and bemused about the whole situation. Oswin guesses that this is Sally even before Larry introduces her, because she reads LarryвЂ™s LJ posts and also between the lines of a lot of his tweets, and knows that Sally is his sisterвЂ™s best friend and thereвЂ™s a whole world of pining and things going on. He comes in Monday, accompanied by a blonde girl who seems to be swallowing down an amused smile. ThatвЂ™s no guarantee of anything, of course, but it doesnвЂ™t hurt either. Besides, sheвЂ™s been betaing LarryвЂ™s fic for eighteen months now and while itвЂ™s contained its fair share of angst, implausible scenarios and вЂ“ one terrifying month вЂ“ mpreg, thereвЂ™s been a reassuring lack of noncon and violence.

OswinвЂ™s been online and in fandom long enough to know how to spot the potentially dangerous people and weed them out before telling them where she works and inviting them over. Thinking about it for a moment, Oswin skims her gaze over the latest digital spy spoiler posts, and then goes to send Larry a DM. SheвЂ™s known Larry for two years now, but she didnвЂ™t know he lived locally. The background of the photo is oddly familiar, because it is in fact just around the corner from here. Oswin taps on it automatically, rolling her eyes as the picture takes a ludicrous amount of time to load вЂ“ the wifi here is bloody awful, especially in wet weather вЂ“ and then freezes when it does. In between someone apparently writing haikus about Colin MorganвЂ™s eyes and someone else livetweeting the latest tumblr One Direction wank, LarryвЂ™s posted a new photo. There are only a handful of customers in the small cafГ© and none of them are looking at her, so sheвЂ™s checking twitter, phone propped up against a pile of Twinings boxes while she pretends to be doing something with a teatowel. ItвЂ™s a dull Thursday afternoon: OswinвЂ™s scalded her wrist making lattes, her hair isnвЂ™t doing anything particularly flattering, and it is, of course, pissing with rain.
