A Hellcheer Hunger Games AU, featuring Mentor Eddie and Tribute Chrissy.

Summary
Chrissy comes out of the kitchen, clutching a small baby to her body, rocking back and forth on her bare feet. A chubby fist is tangled in her hair and Eddie can’t look away.
Especially not when she turns to the side a little bit, going to hand the baby with shaking hands to his uncle, and Eddie catches sight of the baby’s face.
Golden-tinged light brown hair. Big, brown doe eyes.
It all clicks at once, all crashes over his head like the giant waves he saw during a storm in California.
He’s no genius but he can do basic math. That baby is less than a year old, for sure. Pregnancies are nine months. Eddie left eighteen months ago. Those eyes — his own eyes, the ones he inherited from his mother — are unmistakable.

Summary
Nancy speaks without thinking. “You can stay with me!”
When Chrissy looks at her, her eyes are wide and grateful. She mouths ‘really?’ and Nancy nods.
Maybe it’s a little impulsive. After all, it’s been six years. Who even knows if she and Chrissy will still have anything in common after such a long time? They might drive each other crazy.
But ever since Robin moved out, she’s been lonely. Sure, Steve and Eddie still abuse their privilege of having a spare key, barging in at all hours to use her phone, borrow her plunger, or (most often) eat everything in her kitchen that isn’t nailed down. But a pair of obnoxious across-the-hall neighbors is not the same thing as a roommate, and she misses having another girl around.
“Yeah,” she answers with a shrug. “Why not? I’ve got the space.”
or, the Friends AU

Summary
Dangerous game, flirting with Jason Carver’s girlfriend. Max might be impressed, except that she thinks it’s actually exceptionally fucking stupid.
But… Well. Chrissy looks really happy, bright smile and big laugh, and if it’s Eddie’s puppy dog heart eyes behind that? So be it.
It’s really none of Max’s business.
(Max accidentally wingmans and has to live with the responsibility that follows.)
(aka: “dude, eddie’s down bad for chrissy and max is just going through the stages of grief multiple times a day.” —sanvvio)

Summary
Whatever this is, whatever they’re doing (and maybe it is just homework), he’s fully aware it can’t last forever. He’s been playing his part in the High School Melodrama thing for so long, he’s basically an expert at it by this point. Beat by beat, it always plays out the same way.
But: their senior year is coming to an end, and Chrissy Cunningham thinks there may be no better time to reconsider all her plans.
