[petra]

Title: The way we danced till three
Fandom: Mad Men (s2)
Summary: Joan finds Roger impossible to ignore.
Pairing: Joan/Roger
Rating: All ages
Notes: Written for Yuletide 2008.


"Miss Holloway," Roger said. That inflection meant "Joannie" and "I need you."

She could have ignored it, but Greg --

Roger had never been subtle, but he was always reverent, aware of her as something precious, something easily lost.

Joan considered hotels, the sordid urgency of Roger's office, and Jane, who might well panic if she suspected.

"I can be with you in a moment, Mister Sterling," Joan said, and smiled. If it wasn't precisely the smile she used to give Roger, he wouldn't recognize that; he loved her, in his way, better than -- but he didn't know her.

Oh my. Is this a new fandom then? (That was what I meant when I said "uh oh" in delighted tones upon reading the limericks.)

I am not at all sure I have a lot of them in me, but oh, Joannie.

Oh, Joannie. And oh, YOU. How did I miss this? It's lovely, and so very undercut with everything that is Joan/Roger. I adore it.

Oh, Joannie, indeed.

I do not know how you missed it, except that it is only a tiny story. I'm glad it worked for you.
