Eddie and Dulcie's dynamic in the first half
Eddie and Dulcie in the second half
Accurate, this is what happens
Obsessed with Dulcie canonically being some kind of sex god. I think she’d break Eddie.
A slow-build romance leading to polyamory. Rated explicit. Long (84,000 words). Eddie POV. Complete.
Eddie/Dulcie are definitely the main pairing. Eddie/Cath are shown making out once. There is also one Dulcie/Eddie/Cath sex scene at the end but otherwise no Dulcie/Cath or Eddie/Cath is shown (though both are mentioned).
Canon-compliant. Set after the end of the series proper, starting right after Ray’s death. Includes the canon epilogue scene (in which Eddie and Dulcie visit Holly) and then continues after that.
I didn’t like Cath in canon but I think she could get her shit together and be a better person and a better partner, and I’ve leaned into that very hard, while doing my best to also keep her in character.
Important note: the first scene is rough but things don’t stay that way. This is a happy fic overall, with a very happy ending.

This was an utter delight to write. Please read and enjoy. I'd love to hear in comments how you respond to it -- all feedback is great, including critique. <3
Lastly, thank you SO MUCH to my absolutely amazing beta, @ratherembarrassing, for help with so many important dialect and character notes. This fic would be such a hot mess without you, and I'm so so grateful for your time and your meticulous attention to detail. <3 <3 <3
This way to the fic :-D
