    Summary

    As detached as Ruby Matthews wants to be, she's yet to realize that Proximity + Frequency = Familiarity. There is a comfort in her fling with Otis Milburn she refuses recognize, but it may swallow her whole.

    A journey back in time through Ruby's eyes as she witnesses Otis' mustache, his penchant for wordplay, and the birth of OT for the first time. This summer is a playlist of experiences she unintentionally puts on repeat.

    Summary

    Adam frowned, he could feel his throat tightening “I can’t cry, it means I am weak.”

    Ola shook her head and tightened her hold on his knee “No Adam, it means the exact opposite. It means you’re not scared of your emotions, of facing them, of being a human being and of being vulnerable.”

    He exhaled shakily, his vision was becoming blurry.

    “And trust me, you feel better after a good cry”

    He looked at Ola’s blurry face, he should really blink the tears away so they wouldn’t spill out of his eyes but he was exhausted. What if she was right? What if it was okay to cry? What if that was exactly what he needed? What if he did feel a bit better after?

    Or

    After the breakup, Adam finds support in people he wouldn't have expected and goes on a journey to find himself.

    Summary

    When you reach the peak of a rollercoaster, and there’s a moment of stillness. You know when you’re about to drop (to your death is what it feels like at times), but you don’t know exactly when. You look to the person on your right, (Baby in this case, fast asleep on his mini-sofa) in anticipation, in fear due to the unknown.

    Okay, maybe not as dramatic as that but close enough.

    what if: ruby had sent that text

    (a series of fix-it’s regarding different situations ruby and otis went through the show.)

    Summary

    Maeve Wiley dropped out of Moordale, and is now a Cambridge University Professor.

Eve Mckinley didn't think her life could get more complicated than it already was, but she is proved wrong yet again. She definitely didn't expect to be competing against two other girls for Otis' affection.

    Summary

    [Set immediately between Ruby’s and Otis’s phone call. I do wish to change something because I felt like they have rushed things with Ruby by have her confess her love for Otis. It is somewhat out of character for someone like Ruby to rush things.]
