    Summary

    When it’s announced that the co-directors for the fall show are Grizz Visser, football star and closet literature nerd, and Allie Pressman, Cassandra’s shadow and wallflower extraordinaire, no one expects things to end well. They’re not friends, they’ve only interacted once, and to their knowledge, they have nothing in common.

    But Allie and Grizz are a lot more alike than they first believe. If they don’t end up killing each other, this could be the start of a beautiful partnership.

    (Or: In another life, Allie and Grizz still become best friends.)

    Summary

    Dear Captain Nash,

    I know this email is kind of out of the blue, but I didn’t know who else to reach out to. I’m not even sure how to start this email. One time Buck and I signed up for this pen pal program, but the kid in Maine I was writing with gave up after two rounds of letters. It was during my ancient Egypt phase and I think I scared him off with my questions about mummies. Buck told me I was too cool for him anyway.

    or

    When Chris starts going to church in Texas he reaches out to the only person he can think of who might have some answers, meanwhile Eddie uses his email to try and talk to God, and Buck... well Buck online shops mostly.

    A season 8 rewrite told only through email.

    Summary

    Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.

    She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.

    “Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.

    It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.

    “Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”

    Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.
