Economy (Weeds) by mandysbitch

She’s angry as hell but the feeling fades as she reads the last line. Conrad’s packed everything he owns into a duffel bag and taken the bus to Anywhere But Here. As romantic as the idea sounds, it’s the telling that’s heartbreaking. They had plans, big ideas, and now it all comes down to this, one line in a letter, a bus and a duffel bag.

She read somewhere that writing is an economy of words. If that’s true then Conrad is a poet.

It's Conrad and Nancy, and Nancy is still falling apart when Conrad makes the decision that it's time to leave. What's a girl to do but carry on? Possibly the very best Weeds fic ever. Season 2 spoilers.
