Everything started because I love both Cophine and Punky Monkey and wanted to combine the two. One headcanon and a chat with slackerD later, Sarcophine (Sarah/Cosima/Delphine) was born.

The link to the original headcanon is on my profile, but the gist is: polyamorous Vee relationship with Cosima as the pivot. If this isn't your thing, turn away.

First of a series of drabbles NOT in chorological order, I write as ideas and situations come to me.

Thanks to slackerD, without you this wouldn't exist.

Sarah brought Delphine home...now what?


"Is Cosima—" Delphine choked out, seeing Sarah waiting for her.

"She's okay." Sarah reassured her.

"Is she," Delphine looked around hopefully. "here?"

"No."

Delphine looked down. "She doesn't want to see me." She stated, her voice broken.

"She doesn't know you're here." Sarah corrected her. The French woman looked up at her questioningly. "Didn't want to get her hopes up."

"You don't think I wanted to see her again?" Delphine struggled with her words, her English out of practice and her voice trembling with anger and tears. "I love her."

"Sometimes it doesn't matter what we want. I thought you knew." Sarah moved towards the car, unfazed.

"I love her," Delphine repeated, almost pleading.

"You better." Sarah muttered to herself.

"Que?" Delphine sided up with her, her longer legs an advantage.

"I know." Sarah changed her response, climbing in the car.

"Where are we going?" Delphine asked after a while, breaking the silence in the car. "It's not the way to Felix's flat."

"We're staying at Mrs. S."

"Right." Delphine nodded to herself and Sarah remembered that the doctor had been there too. Begging her for a chance to save Cosima. "How is Kira?" it seemed that Delphine was having the same thoughts.

"I sent her to Cal. Didn't want her there for this."

"Cal is…" Delphine trailed off.

"Her father." Sarah answered in a curt tone.

"Right. Sorry." Delphine got the message as they sat silently for the rest of the way.

"Cos?" Sarah called entering Mrs. S., well, her house, now. "Come here. I got a surprise for you."

"Yeah?" Cosima called back, the tell-tale shuffling of her slippers signaling she was moving towards them. "Did you finally got that extra pack of Eskim— Delphine?"

.

"To what do I owe the honor?" Felix smirked as he slid the door open to find his sister. Not that he minded, but it had been a while since she showed up like this, especially since she started living with Cosima and Kira at Mrs. S.'s home.

"Delphine is back." Her tone was flat.

"Really?" Felix looked surprised. "Cosima didn't say anything this morning."

"She didn't know. And are you letting me in or what?" she pushed her way past him.

"Since when do you need an invite?" he closed the door. "Why are you here?"

"What do you think?"

"Didn't want to be there for the lesbian reunion, I see."

.

Geek Monkey: Where are you?

Geek Monkey: didn't see you yesterday at all

Geek Monkey: and now you're missing our nightly chat again

Sarah looked at the time the message was sent. Indeed it was around the time they usually woke up because one of them had a nightmare.

Felix. She answered though hours later.

Geek Monkey: Why?

Wanted to give you some space

Geek Monkey: Didn't mean to kick you out of your home

Geek Monkey: Come back? We have plans, remember?

What about Delphine?

Geek Monkey: She'll sleep for a while, needs to recover

TMI. Sarah typed half grimacing, half smirking.

Geek Monkey: I meant jet-lag and stuff

Geek Monkey: you coming then?

Sarah thought about what Felix told her, while she more or less drunkenly confessed how afraid she was that now that Delphine was back, Cosima wouldn't need her anymore and she'd be discarded like an old boot. She remembered something about being a bloody blind idiot if she couldn't see how much Cosima loved her, Delphine or not. Sarah wasn't sure about that, but she agreed with Felix that Cosima deserved more credit. She owed Cosima more than this, more than her thinking so little of her. She owed Cosima a chance. Wasn't that what people did with the people they loved? Wasn't that what Felix and Mrs. S. and Kira and Cal gave her? She had her own fair share of second chances from the people in her life. She owed Cosima her first chance. If there was someone who deserved it, it was her geek monkey.

Yeah.

.

Sarah was surprised that it hadn't happened before. Delphine had been back for more than a week and Sarah had managed to pretty much avoid her. She had been spending more time with Felix and with Kira and Cal, but she still did things with Cosima too. Sarah had to give Delphine credit. If it was her, she wouldn't have let Cosima out of her sight. Delphine instead was letting Cosima spend time out and about with her, waiting for her, albeit anxiously, at home. That was why Sarah was surprised that it hadn't happened before. It being bumping into an half-naked Delphine, stumbling out of Cosima's room, hair mussed up and only a shirt on, barely covering her butt.

"Désolé." She blushed. "Sorry."

Sarah looked at her, glad that Kira still hadn't come home. They needed rules.

"I'll start looking for a place." Delphine hastily said at Sarah's look and lack of words.

"You can stay."

"Quoi?"

"Do you want to leave Cosima again?" Sarah bit out, her words holding a threat.

"Of course not!" Delphine didn't hesitate, her tone affronted. "But this is your home and I don't want—"

"I just told you you can stay, didn't I?" Sarah interrupted her. "Do whatever you want." She continued harshly, before leaving.

.

"Ompf!" Sarah had barely stepped inside when a dread-locked blur crashed into her.

"Thank you." Cosima gushed once she released her from her hug. "Thank you."

Sarah didn't need to ask the reason for the heartfelt thanks. She looked down almost bashfully, before shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal. "You love her."

"I love you too."
