Reposts of a set of loosely connected one sentence fics from a previous Livejournal challenge. These are obviously AU considering they start just after TMWY. Unbetaed, so all mistakes are mine. I do not own The Mindy Project or Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken
1. Mindy didn't know the extent of all she would be giving up (It's only a year!) until she said goodbye to her friends (I'll miss you! Yes, I'm really sure!) before passing through airport security, but she knew exactly what she was running toward (Are you kidding me, universe? Him?) as she let Casey board the plane alone (I thought I could do this, but I think I love someone else.) while Danny's face (Danny Castellano!) filled her mind (I guess Josh was right after all).
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
2. She found him on his office floor, pants around his knees, reeking of alcohol and hugging a copy of When Harry Met Sally; all she could get out of him, despite his inebriated state was, "Christina, I think we should break up."
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
3. Their hearts were beating wildly and their thoughts were a jumble of "What are you doing here?" and "Why aren't you in Haiti?" and "I didn't stay for you," but then there weren't any more thoughts, just the feeling of hands exploring and teeth and lips and tongues finally, finally meeting.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing ho way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back
4. Mindy glanced around the room at the folders and trinkets that once resided on her desk before landing on a grinning, half-dressed Danny currently perched on her chair, then said, "When I was with Jeremy you told me that office sex was unprofessional and unsanitary, so—based on the very friendly way your penis just greeted me—you've either changed your mind or I need to wear this outfit more often."
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
5. His favorite time of day is early in the morning, watching her scurry around the apartment in his button down that no longer closes over her pregnancy-ripe belly, which never fails to make him realize what a lucky man he is.
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
