Marianne needed a change. Teaching in a country prep school for a year, as it turned out, would change pretty much everything.

Summary
Lives and lives and lives, jumbled together like discarded christmas lights, flickering on and off at random until she’s sure that her brain can’t hold any more. She and Marianne are happy, sometimes, when the fates line up just right. Once they live their lives on an island, in a tiny village, and they raise their own goats. In another, they grow tulips and everything smells of flowers, always. Sometimes, no, not so happy.
Héloïse remembers. Marianne doesn't.

Summary
"I like being on my own."
"Only, you might not be on your own."
Ominous! It got Marianne leaning in despite herself. "What do you mean?"
"There's a ghost. Everyone knows. They call her The Lady in White. A poltergeist."
It's 2019 and Marianne arrives at a remote house for a few weeks of peace and quiet. Héloïse has been trying to find some peace a lot longer.

Summary
Maybe it’s a sign from someone, how your thoughts still manage to run parallel to hers even after all this time apart. How you’d managed to go so long with an Aster Flores-sized hole in your life, you don’t even know, but now you can’t bring yourself to imagine it without her again.
or, when Ellie and Aster reunite a few years later, Ellie notices something pretty damn adorable.

Summary
Eight years after they parted ways, Héloïse and Marianne find each other in Milan.
Caught in a sunbeam, Héloïse was a stern black column in the doorway, dressed head-to-toe for mourning. Her hair, nun-like, was hidden behind a neat little waterfall of lace.

Summary
A Love Actually AU.
It's Christmas season in London and everywhere you look, love is causing chaos. From the bachelor Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who on his first day at 10 Downing Street is taken by his extremely handsome (male) deputy chief of staff, to the young graphic designer who's fallen hopelessly in love with his cousin's bride. From an aging rock star and his struggling ex-wife (with some skeletons of her own); to a just-dumped writer who goes abroad to nurse his broken heart only find solace in his tough-talking housekeeper; to two literature professors with a legendary feud who just happen to settle their differences in the spirit of the holidays--love arrives in many forms, shapes, and sizes.Two best friends fall in love at university only to be torn apart by demands of family holidays; a MP and his wife rediscover their undimmed love for one another; the head of one of Britain's top corporations struggles with his new role as a single father and has to come to terms with his new and surprising dependence on his second-in-command. Ten stories of love all progress through Christmas to lead up to a dramatic, romantic climax on New Year's Eve.

Summary
When Nicole Haught wakes up behind, "the wall," she's immediately relieved--no more having to run from the zombies that have infected the remainder of humanity. But strange things begin to happen during the night since she's shown up, things she can't help but think she might have taken part of. And why does she keep having to return to the laboratory for bloodwork if she's healthy?
Alternatively, the Zombie AU that none of you asked for.

Summary
Nicole smiled. It was a lovely, slow smile with more than a tinge of heat to it. “Are you asking me out on a coffee date, Waverly?” she said, laughter delicately lacing her words. Dolls eyed the two of them and started to smirk, hiding his small grin behind his cup. Waverly felt her ears burning, heated with embarrassment, and what the hell. It wasn’t like she was a stranger to people flirting with her, she would usually handle it like a pro, but something about Nicole and that million-dollar smile was putting her brain in neutral, rendering her incapable of coherent thought.
Waverly blurted out, “Maybe you should try asking me when we’re not mid-route,” as she quickly backed out of the cockpit, trying not to listen to the low chuckled laughter as she left. She stood motionless in the galley for a full fifteen seconds, wondering what had happened. Oh, I just got myself in trouble, didn’t I.
And she couldn’t deny that part of her was really, really hoping that yes, she did.
*****
Waverly Earp loves her job as a flight attendant. Then, one day, she meets a tall redhead who sparks her interest a lot more than she was expecting.

PREVIEW:
"She feels useless, unable to step up and be as productive in the midst of grief as Alison has, not able to be as comforting as she feels Emily needs, not able to be as astute as she feels her response should be. She's just… there. She hopes that's enough for Emily."
SUMMARY:
↳Canon-Compliant!AU (shh it's a thing) of the Time Jump, wherein Spencer/Emily happens instead of Spencer/Caleb. (And all the messiness in between that would have to happen for that to work out.) :)

Summary
Evy Carnahan and Diana Prince meet in an abandoned Egyptian temple. It is most unexpected.
“May I ask why you are hauling me—oof—down a hallway?”
Diana stumbled, slowed for two strides before picking back up again, “You were about to be eaten by snakes.”
“I had it well in hand,” Evy said, knowing she did not.
“I disagree, and I do not let people get eaten when I can prevent it.” Diana took a sudden corner, causing Evy to squeak and look for a place to hold on that wasn’t Diana’s rather shapely rear end.
Evy had been aware for some time that her attractions were not limited to the male sex, however, this was a blastedly inconvenient time to have that particular point driven home.

Perdition, noun: (in Christian theology) a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.
~~
They’ve been doing this for years. It’s almost crazy, how familiar it all is. And every time, their excuses get flimsier and flimsier.
Beca still has a boyfriend, Chloe still has to graduate, and yet time and time again they find themselves tangled up together, naked in bed or stuffed into a bathroom stall or sneaking out of a party.
And Beca still has a boyfriend, and Chloe knows it’s wrong, but she just can’t seem to stop.
