Summary
Jimmy had been asked, on several occasions, what had been going on between him and Kim. It had started as assumptions — harmless assumptions, really. But if he was already going to be assumed guilty when he had maintained his innocence for this long, well, why should he refuse the opportunity for indulgence?

Summary
“Brenda said that she had Chuck for Secret Santa." Kim’s brows knit together, a mix of confusion and frustration.
“How could that be possible?” Jimmy’s attempt at looking just as confused started wavering, “Brenda had me for Secret Santa."
“What did she get you?” That question was a warning all its own that she had caught him.

Summary
“Woah, Kim — shouldn’t we at least give the illusion that we’re interested in watching Laurie Strode do the same thing she’s been doing for twenty years?” Jimmy’s anticipatory eyes lowered to her hands, pure instinct.
“Presumptuous,” Kim tsk’ed, halting her movement, “Close your eyes, I’m changing.”
Kim and Jimmy take in a midnight showing of Halloween.

Summary
What if there's a really, really good reason Jimmy resists saying "I love you" for so long?
Part I explores Kim's reasons for avoiding a serious relationship early in their acquaintance, and the near-disastrous consequences when Jimmy pushes at her boundaries. Part II deals with the lingering fallout, and how they finally end up intermingling their germs in "Switch."

Summary
He was very much enjoying his conversation with her. Kimberly Wexler, the final candidate. The other interviews had spanned 15 minutes each, but he’d already been talking to Kim for half an hour. Everything about her was fascinating, from her law school goals to her personal history: the way she’d struck out on her own, forging her own path and resisting what the fates seemed to have determined for her.
Howard could only dream of having such courage.
This story offers more context for Kim’s lingering resentment of Howard (that leads, of course, to The Scam), and for the status of Howard and Kim’s relationship in general.
And, of course, there's a healthy helping of McWexler as seen through Howard’s eyes.

Summary
On the desk, next to the ash-filled saucer, the packet of cigarettes waits. The plastic wrapper is crushed at the bottom end, catching the light, but she doesn’t smoke anymore.
Not unless she’s with him.
Post-canon slow burn.
