Summary: She has always considered her imaginary Laurence Dominic as just that—imaginary. He (or rather, it) was a figment of her stressed and overworked mind, and though she found solace in its exquisitely-dressed presence, she always knew that one day, its appearances would cease.
Notes: Yes, I love my Neruda, so all my titles henceforth are going to be cheesy and weird (or not, lol). Aside from the episodic elements, there’s also some bits strewn in from
Evaluation Day. Then it goes kinda AU, in the last part. This one might probably contain a lot of self-loathing, but your mileage might vary. And then I tried writing Topher. I don’t think I succeeded in that part. But despite all that, I hope you enjoy.
All mistakes are mine.
