    Summary

    Premise loosely based on the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
    Miriam Weissman, known professionally as Mrs. Maisel, was one of the great comedy legends of the 50’s and 60's. With her career that began in ‘58, and spanned nearly three decades, perhaps the most infamous thing about her were her five marriages. For so long, she’s refused to make any sort of comment on her personal life. Now, at the end of her life, with all the key players long gone, Midge allows one biographer the chance to uncover the key question that’s plagued America since the very beginning: Who was the love of Mrs. Maisel’s life?

    Summary

    As they lay on their backs together, his arm under her neck, he turns his head to look at her. “For the record,” he says, mock serious, “I did not plan this.”

    She snorts, looking at the ceiling and then at him in her peripheral. “For the record,” she mocks, dead serious, “I love you too.”

    Summary

    “Besides, Bobby says-”

    “Wait? Bobby?” Lenny sits up straight. “You call him Bobby?!”

    “He calls me Midge.” She says it like this’s nothing at all. “Miriam and Robert is a bit of a mouthful.

    “Mrs. Maisel, do I need to be concerned?” Lenny’s half joking, half feeling a strong possessiveness towards a woman who’s technically never been his girlfriend. “Because I have heard some stories.”

    Midge both sighs and laughs. “God, you’re almost as bad as Joel.”
    ***
    California, 1968. Midge is a "Campaigning Comedian" for a certain senator. Lenny is staying sober and trying to write a book. A chance to reconnect accidentally corresponds with a tragic night at a Los Angeles hotel.

    Summary

    Midge has plans. She's been at this Comedy thing for over a year now, and she had a very set goal in mind. She wants to be famous, to be a star! She's so close she can taste it. She can see the goal in her sights, and she doesn't need any distractions. This was why she left Benjamin, after all.

    Everyone knows what happens when your making other plans? Buckle up folks, it's gonna be a long and bumpy ride!

    Season 3 Miami rewrite. Yes, it's been done a lot, but this is the long version!

    Summary

    This story follows the relationship between Midge Maisel and Lenny Bruce in The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, starting from their first meeting in Episode 1 of Season 1. This covers their scenes throughout the five seasons (and beyond!) along with missing scenes that I like to imagine happened off-screen.

    It also has an alternative/fix-it ending because the canon ending for Midge and Lenny in the series finale was just way too heartbreaking for my liking :)

    Hope you enjoy! Any feedback is very much appreciated 😊

    UPDATE: Now completed!

    Summary

    From a given prompt: The different ways Midge has to break the news of her dating Lenny to various people in her life

    As of now (4/15/23) it is completely spoiler free for Season 5, and I'm planning to keep it that way however if it changes I'll label it clearly in the chapter summary or author's notes for the individual chapter in question.

    Summary

    They say the first year of marriage is hardest. Lenny and Midge Weissman-Bruce’s first year of marriage was wonderful. Perhaps that’s why their second and third year are the-hell (that-may-not-exist)-on-Earth.
