Summary
Mid-s2e1 AU: Not only does the young lady Anthony raced in the park wholly misunderstand both his words and his character, she refuses to listen to his (perfectly rational) explanation, or even allow him the opportunity to offer a defence.
And that simply will not do. Which is why he must follow her inside the ballroom. And then ask her to dance. And then continue to seek her out as the days and weeks of the season progress.
***
“Will I have the opportunity to address the charges against my character?” He takes her hand and she turns elegantly under his raised arm. “Or do you intend to leave tonight’s gathering certain of your own rightness?”
The roll of her eyes is rather subtle, he will give her that. “Just because we are dancing does not mean we need to converse, my lord.”

Summary
Post-5x21 AU: After the events at the Lion's Club, a timer clicks on in Dan's head signalling the end of his relationship with Blair. When the end comes, he begins to question if it was an inevitable occurrence or the worst kind of self-fulfilling prophecy. And then, quickly thereafter, if there's a way to undo it. Or, at the very least to get his friend back.
Title and chapter headings from the Smith & Thell song of the same name.

Summary
Three years of dating Veronica Mars and Logan long expected for this slightly drunk sensation, the hazy buzz of his mind that arises from simply talking to her, to dissipate. This woman and the way her brain works. It just does it for him.
***
A heatwave is coming, so Logan invites Veronica and her friends to stay with him. The weekend promises good food, kayaking, booze, and emotionally fraught conversations. Or, more accurately, a particularly fraught conversation between Logan and his first-love. One he's been avoiding for about five years. -

Candle Related Feelings by nevertothethird for Applemysteries

Summary
It's been two weeks since Angie returned from Barstow, showed up on Will's doorstep with her garbage bags stacked behind her, and waved a candle under his nose. Now she's barely speaking to him and Will hopes a night at Rockaraoke Palace will be enough to set them and their friendship back to rights.
"Not that he would even know how to classify his relationship with Angie at this point. Best-friend he at one time thought might have feelings for him? Best-friend whose smile definitely causes all sorts of weird little pulse stutters? Best-friend he kind of wants to hug because he misses her and she still won’t talk to him?"
Nope. Just Angie is probably sufficient.

Summary
B. WALDORF, the card says, embossed in silver print, and Dan commits that to memory. He’ll probably never see her again, but even so, B. WALDORF etches a space in his brain ten times larger than any five-foot-two socialite should be able to.
He’s surprisingly okay with that.
(or,
Dan is a bartender and Blair is the obnoxiously rich customer who keeps coming in to see him and it's casual, okay, it definitely doesn't mean she's in love.)

Summary
How they got together is mostly a run-of-the-mill story. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. A strange and complicated courtship followed. All that really matters to either of them is that they’re happy. They’re in love. They’re miles away from anyone who cares if they are in a relationship or not. And that only matters because no one that knows either of them would ever expect them to be in a relationship in the first place. Perhaps it would be easier if their brothers weren’t best friends. It’s the easiest separation between family and relationship that either of them has ever had.
Which means that it can’t last, of course.
