What occured when Bill showed up at Virginia's doorstep. Spoilers for 1x12 and 2x1. Rated M for non-explicit mentions of sex. Named for and inspired by Bob Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm".

What if they had met differently? At a dinner party, sitting on opposite ends of the table. What if the whole evening people were talking to them, but they were only half listening because they were drawn to each other.

For Rent revolves around the secret world of a P.I. Prostitute.

"When they hold on after, she is in that place again, suspended high above the world, unfurling and forgetting." Virginia-centric, Virginia/Bill. Set some time after 2.03, "Fight."

Lillian doesn't know how to relax. Virginia shows her how. Pre episode 2x06.

It's been a day for Virginia. She's angry. She's stressed. She has a headache. And there's work to be done.

As tough as she is, Dr. Lillian DePaul has allowed Virginia Johnson in on the most painful part of her life. Very much a master of her own inner-strength, Virginia still remains guarded in all things related to Dr. Bill Masters. Will secrets be the thing that divides their relationship or cements it?

Moments of Bill Masters before and during season one. One-shot. "He cannot afford to lose his resolve. He decided long ago that it was only for the rest of them to do so."

A little peek inside Libby's head following the scene where she tries to seduce Bill in 1x02.

Magic is a word that means nothing to him. (Bill's POV driving Virginia home at the end of 1x04)
