Only Murders in the Building

Making wishes is a sucker's game, but at least there's cake by [archiveofourown.org profile] Lenore
Nothing lasted forever.

That was why Mabel would never see the point of marking milestones. Wasn't the constant flux of the surrounding world enough of a reminder that time was passing? Did anyone really need a card with a kitten and a punny greeting to drive home that they were another year older? Or a cake with candles, more and more of them as the years passed until it was more fire hazard than celebration? Mabel certainly didn't need anyone wishing her happy birthday as a reminder of anything.

Her phone rang. Not that people didn't insist on doing it anyway.
Oh Mabel, oh heart.

Putnam Productions Presents: Only Murders Holiday Special by [archiveofourown.org profile] RaelStone
She knew that he was spending this holiday alone. As they all were. Seeing Oliver looking almost deflated at Charles' rebuke of this latest idea, she knew that this wasn't about ratings or staying relevant or the thing that had brought them together in the first place. It was about keeping them together now instead of having to let go of yet something else. Oh heart.
