Summary
Jason and Lydia Dean move into a new town along with their shitty father, one of many towns they've been dragged to before: Sherwood, Ohio. Boring, half asleep, beyond predictable. But what happens when at the predictable Westerberg High Veronica Sawyer comes in and floods JD's life with sunlight? And maybe, in some roundabout way, Lydia's?
Basically a very random crossover AU where JD and Lydia are siblings, no one dies, Veronica isn't a sheep, and everybody's weird in the best way.

Summary
“Well,” Duke starts, staring down at her empty tray, “can you do it?”
“Do what?”
“Name five songs?”
Veronica scoffs, offended. “Of course I can,” she states. She’s far from lying. “I love Radiohead.”
“Then did you do it?” McNamara asks. Veronica shakes her head like it’s obvious, and Mac frowns.
“Why?”
“Principle.”
Veronica knows her music taste isn't bad; that it isn't something to be ashamed of. So why does is bother her when some people, especially her boyfriend, tell her that it is?
***
The title is technically from Brutal by Olivia Rodrigo. I know that doesn't look very obvious but I really wanted an Olivia lyric, so.... yeah.

Summary
Veronica lacks two very important things: athletic skills, and the ability to say no to her boyfriend. So, she finds herself on a hiking date with JD, in which she loses steam, JD himself, and every bit of sanity in her body.
She hates nature.
***********
Or: I watched Barrett Wilbert Weed performing Lost and became obsessed and saw a very well-timed YouTube comment about this song totally being Veronica if JD didn't die, and here we are.

And When I Felt Like I Was an Old Cardigan Under Someone's Bed, You Put Me On and Said I Was Your Favorite by ItsNogz

Summary
She wasn’t sure what it was, that she was getting from the pile of clothes; it had a soft, knitted feel, but she was barely even looking at it. Until she felt something hard in the fabric, a kind of dried stain that she’d never taken off. Weird; before the whole… thing, she’d always made sure to take off stains. So, Veronica fully pulled the soft item from the pile and looked down at it. Then immediately dropped it, as if it was burning her fingers.
Because Veronica had pulled out a light blue cardigan.
With a bloodstain on its right sleeve.
It's Christmas Eve, but Veronica's deep in angry grieving for her ex-boyfriend who'd died exactly a month before. The reappearance of an old clothing item she wishes she could forget only makes everything a million times worse.
***
Title from the song Cardigan by Taylor Swift, also the song this fic was based on.

He literally calls them "I'm Lying" bullets.
Musical canon divergence, mid-'Our Love is God.' Includes some dialogue and themes from Act 2, but Veronica manages to keep her teen angst body count down to one.
