Description:
hc them as friends before DH2. Billie visiting Hypatia in the dust district to make sure she's settling in ok and checking if she needs any supplies. Billie going n checking in on Hypatia to make sure shes ok and bringing her supplies etc and hypatia invites her in for tea bc Billie is working so fucking hard, seriously, and hypatia being so kind and generous that for the first time in a ong time Billie is able to relax somewhat and feel a bit of her tension leave her
Hypatia likes Rose tea and that she usually drinks it with Billie so Billie kinda got a taste for it, and then later in DOTO Billie and Daud drink rose tea together
Hypatia sticking around to help Sokolov must’ve meant so much to Billie. Billie isn’t sure if she can trust hypatia but she realizes what a good person she is and trusts her to take care of her father figure. Sokolov finally making peace with one of his students
Billie being like “hey you need help moving him to his cot?” And hypatia just slings him over her shoulder no problem
Sokolov sees Hypatia and as she's tending to him he starts to recognize that she's the Crown Killer and he low-key freaks out, or maybe just inquires her about it. Hypatia gets another headache as Sokolov starts to recount the kidnapping, then he stops when he realizes that Hypatia is getting affected by it. he was at addermire a while and hypatia knows he was there (so she was herself for some of it) so. he might've seen her shift
for Grim Alex, having him right there for a while yet not being able to harm him must've been torture
hypatia seeing billie’s missing eye and arm and getting all concerned.
is there a ship name for it?? billpatia? alurksandria???
emily is all [gasp] they're in love we have to help them realise this and sokolov is just all [grumpy old man noises]
what if they just are too busy/ too "ehh that's stupid i can't have a crush on her" at first so nothing happens on the wale bUT they both end up at one of stilton's parties, bc he insisted they both come to take a break, even tho they'd both rather be anywhere else. but then! they see each other for the first time since the wale and they're both oh wow it's been a hot minute! what have you been up to. billie of course gives a very censored version
obligatory tender wound care(tm). Hypatia helps her with the phantom/chronic pain from limb loss
hypatia being all " D: how could you love someone like me i've done such terrible things" and billie being sorta "i'm not one to judge" and comforting her
them helping each other with nightmares
Hypatiadoesn’t know abt what Billie did before. Billie’s probably super cryptic about it as usual. “I Did Bad Things Too™️” rather than giving specifics
what if Hypatia asking what Billie's are about and billie sorta sits there like how the fuck am I meant to explain I get nightmares of hearing our mutual friend emily watch my boss kill her mother
