Summary
“You know, it’s World UFO Day today,” Peter says.
MJ snorts out a laugh, brows drawing together. “Thank you…for the most useless piece of information I’ve gotten all day,” she replies without bite.
Peter grins. “Anytime.” He takes a slow step towards her, his gaze dropping to her lips as he shrugs his shoulder. “I guess all that’s left for us to decide now is how we commemorate this really special occasion.”
MJ drums her fingers against the side of her plastic cup. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.”

Or, twenty years of Peter and MJ, every June 26.

Summary
On July 15 1994 Emma and Dexter had a falling out. Now, four years later, on July 15 1998 Emma is trying to market her second book and Dexter is trying to clean up his image post rehab. How are they going to do this? Their agents have a brilliant idea. Emma and Dexter will date each other for the sake of good PR. Brilliant in every way, except for one. No one knows they used to be best friends.
~~~~~~
“Well that’s the unorthodox part,” her manager says, “They want to clean up his image, and they were hoping they could use you to do that.”
“Use me?” Emma asks. She finally picks up the file and opens it to find a fact sheet, a name is listed at the top and... oh. Oh no. That can’t be right

Summary
i love you! *un-Ones your Day*
We deserve to see more than the 15th July! (tbh the story is perfect as is but we all need some healing imo) I am literally just filling in the gaps in canon. I will never be David Nicholls but hey ho.
Also this will naturally take inspo from the 2024 series, particularly in terms of character appearance, but it probably won't come up that much if I'm honest.

Summary
And now, she really was his, ring and all, Morley to Mayhew, and it had been another summer night, soft and warm, when Mr. Mayhew had crawled up to her, Mrs. Mayhew, (would Emma ever get tired of hearing that?) kissing her with that boyish tenderness she so desperately loved and hated, the one that made her want to crawl out of her own skin, that made her want to ride him until he’d have to use a bloody wheelchair for the rest of the month, when he said to her, well, whispered really, “I’m going to put a baby in you.”

Summary
Hey! First ever submission to A03 kinda nervous.
This will definitely be a series of some sort, I am keeping the basics of the original story (or the first ep at least) but tweaking a little bit of it to make it original and a little less predictable.
Please note I am literally writing it on the spot, I have no plan and no idea what I'm doing so please leave some comments if you have any preferences of what direction you want this to go in and I would be happy to write it the way the majority of you guys want it. - if anyone finds this :0
y'all in the back, can i get a hell yeah.

Summary
Dexter showed up on her doorstep with a rucksack clanging with bottles and that wounded sad boy smile that used to go straight to her cunt.
As things stood, Emma sidestepped the embrace she sensed they were meant to fall into by hoisting the bin bag she'd left by the entrance for this expressed purpose.
"Go on in. Make yourself at home." She ushered vaguely towards the kitchenette, the sofa with its stack of VHS tapes artfully arranged on the afghan. Large arm motions meant to convey the deep interior of her flat so he wouldn't be tempted to linger in the narrow hallway, and once she returned sans rubbish, try to greet her with the prelude to teary wall sex. Or something.

Summary
The first time Dexter loses someone it’s quiet. His mother died peacefully in her sleep, holding his father’s hand. That didn’t make Dexter’s grief any less palpable, any less angry, or any less drunk.

Summary
I am in pain and I needed to share that with everyone.
“Hey!” Someone screams, but he is thinking of Emma, her dress flowing in the wind that first night, the cold biting his lips tasting of alcohol, he thinks of her eyes, big, brown eyes as he sees her face for the first time, he thinks of the feeling that had swollen inside his chest – he thinks it was love and he knew it at once and too late.
