Summary
Hannah Wells meant to spend one wild night in Vegas forgetting her cheating ex, not wake up legally married to Garrett Graham, Chicago Blackhawks superstar and certified walking bad decision.
Garrett meant to enjoy NHL Awards weekend, not become TMZ’s favorite new husband before breakfast.
But Hannah needs good press, Garrett’s team sees dollar signs, and everyone from her lawyer to his agent agrees on one thing: staying married might be the smartest disaster either of them has ever made.
The plan is simple. Fake the marriage. Save Hannah’s Super Bowl halftime chances. Boost Garrett’s golden-boy hockey image. Divorce quietly after the season.
Unfortunately, Garrett is funny, infuriating, stupidly hot, and much better at pretending to be her husband than he has any right to be.
And Hannah has never been good at leaving a song unfinished.

Summary
She stared at the scalpel then back at him. Surely, he must have known what this would do to her. The reminder of their first kiss across Sneed’s inert body. The unavoidable pull between them as he offered her everything she’d ever wanted. Surgery, yes but also someone who valued her, respected her.
Damn him.
There was another inert body with them today but that didn’t stop her any more than it had the first time. She pressed forward and ended up almost in his lap.
–––––––––––––––––––––––
A rewriting of season 2 with more yearning, more kissing, more communication... Just more Belle and Jack, basically. The first three chapters follow episodes 2-4, with extended interactions. From chapter 4 onwards, we veer off course and the timeline gets extended - which means more time working together in the hospital in secret, an actual sleepover in the warehouse... Belle and Jack are very much a team here, facing obstacles together, which changes quite a bit actually. I hope you enjoy this rendition of season 2, with more of what we all love.

Summary
The camcorder sits open on the car’s dash with his innie’s face frozen on the foldout screen. There’d been no reason for Mark Scout to watch the recording again; he has it almost memorized by this point, at least the part that matters. His innie’s words still ring in his ears, said flippantly and jovially and with no idea how they’d affect him. Strange, too, since they’re the same person.
“You know, I’ve been thinking—I’ve met Helena a few times now. Maybe you should meet Helly?”
He’d heard nothing from Helly since they’d started this arrangement, and he’d begun to give up hope he ever would. Why would he anyway? She doesn’t know him. But still, every time his innie sends him a message, he studies the corners of each frame for a glimpse of her, turns the volume up in the hopes he’ll hear the whisper of her voice.
--
A year and a half post-Cold Harbor, Mark Scout and Helena Eagan drive to Damon Birthing Retreat each weekend so that their innies can spend time together. When Mark's innie gets the bright idea for Mark Scout and Helly R. to meet, things start to unravel.
