Fics like Sometimes the Spell May Last

Two years after the first scene in Merrily, Charley goes undercover at a fancy gala to work on his next play. You'll never guess who he runs into. This is also told with reverse chronological scenes that we don't get to have in the canon of the show but are canon in my heart. Frank ends up with the folder, Mary visits Evelyn after the party, oh but they were all so good once. I love these characters so much ---- “I saw him, Ev.” He pulls out the nickname everyone had used for her twenty years ago. She freezes, and the look on her face shifts from annoyance to unease. He keeps going, staring her down. “I saw him at the Stone Gala. What was he doing there? You let him go to that?” Evelyn bites her lip, and Frank can tell she’s hiding something, that this goes deeper than the cutting insults and icy glares Charley delivered at the penthouse. “You saw him,” she says cautiously. “Worse,” Frank answers, moving further into the doorway so Evelyn is forced to step back and keep the door open. “I talked to him. What happened to him? How could you let him become–?” He stops before he can let himself finish what he’s really thinking, become what he hated about me.
