"I entered only to find Audrey Horne, an astounding eighteen-year-old woman—though tonight, she seemed much more like a child to me." [Cooper/Audrey oneshot, taking place during Episode 1.7]

The music in her head is dreamy. And so is Cooper's touch.

It's not that Albert doesn't like food; it's that he loves it too much to settle for the mediocre. The same could be said about Albert and people. fluff, very mild Cooper/Albert

A continuation of their hotel room scene from episode 17 - Cooper doesn't want to leave with Audrey thinking he's perfect, but their subsequent conversation reveals truths he's been unwilling to analyse.

Albert doesn't believe in 'meant to be'. They don't naturally mesh: at each turn, one or both of them have seen their way to a solution. The result is not so much a 'normal life' as it is a life that's right for them, and insane for everyone else.
