    Summary

    It's different because they're not kids bumping around each other, embarrassing in the way that everything is when you're fourteen. It's different because she's not holding a bottle of eczema cream over her legs and shrieking while Barry covers his eyes with a gasp and chokes on the over-perfumed air.
     

    It's different because he’s actually past puberty and it's Iris, waking up in his bed, in his clothes, in his arms
     

    It’s just different.

    Summary

    Belly finds him in Paris.

    She’d gone there on nothing but instinct, tracing this old dream they’d both had once—the summer before high school. That she would work in a bookstore, do translations, and he would study under the finest French chefs and every morning they would walk to a cafe and have coffee on the street. On weekends they would take the train out to see mountains and vineyards.

    It wasn’t a real dream. They had just been playing around when they came up with it, trying to imagine the future with their legs hanging over the back of the couch, the blood rushing to their heads and rain pouring down outside while travel specials played on the TV behind them. But then she took French instead of Spanish or Latin. And she just knew that he would be here.

    //Or: Jeremiah drops out of school and Belly goes after him, despite being with Conrad. It's complicated.

    Summary

    Austin and Ally and the quarter-life crisis. She shrugs. "Somehow I became the unofficial keeper of Austin Moon's well-being. Not even sure when that happened." He laughs. "You should look into getting a separate phone line. My label might even reimburse you. You're saving them a fortune on shrink bills." Oneshot.

    Summary

    Peter smiles as he sees her, that lazy half-smile that made her heart race when she was sixteen.

    It’s too late to run now, her mind helpfully supplies, though she made a real habit of it in her teens. Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey is a grown ass woman who doesn’t run when she sees an ex she never quite got over, who still fucks her up with a look across a crowded room.

    No. Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey puts her chin up and walks straight into the fray.

    (Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey also stops a waiter on the way to the fray and gets a giant glass of chardonnay because she’s not getting through this night sober.)

    (Twenty-something Lara Jean Song Covey is a realist.)

    Summary

    Whenever she looks up at him, she’s always a bit overwhelmed with this—this feeling, like she wants to kiss him or something. It’s usually ok when they’re in class, when she has her other friends and school work to distract her, but now, with him walking her home, the lines get blurred in a very real, very nerve-wracking way that she doesn’t know how to handle. And it’s all Gilbert. His dark curls and dark eyes, coupled with a jaw that looks like it could cut glass and a smile that she’s sure no sculpture could ever replicate. He’s like a black hole, sucking in all the light and pulling her in without even trying.

     

    or; everyone at avonlea high knows that anne and gilbert are dating. except, you know, anne.

    Summary

    ' “You’re…a muggleborn?” Jeff asks quietly.
    Annie’s brow wrinkles. “That’s the word for non-magical right? Yeah, I guess I am,” she says. “What’s the big deal? Britta was also muggleborn right?” She points out, suddenly feeling sick and not from the food she ate.
    “Well, she went to Gryffindor,” Jeff explains. “Um, Slytherin is usually a pureblood house, meaning only kids of magical families.”
    Annie’s heart sinks and she looks around, noting how familiar all of the students seem with each other. They must already know each other, or each other’s families.
    “Is…it okay that I’m not?” Annie whispers.'

    Or,

    Annie Edison has had strange things happen around her all her life, and then one day, a letter arrives by owl that explains she's a witch, due to begin her training at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, when it's revealed that she's the first ever muggleborn to be sorted into Slytherin house, her seven years at Hogwarts, alongside her new friends, are going to be anything but simple.

    One school year per chapter, you do not need to have read the books to understand this story, however, having seen the movies will be helpful. Hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Suddenly he’s there, in her space, cupping her face and pulling her in. Her hands flutter to his sides as she moves instinctively into his kiss, pressing her body into his. It’s firmer than their last kiss. Where that had been achingly slow and tender this, while brief, has an edge to it that leaves them both a little breathless when they separate. Their bodies are still flush and his gaze is heated and she wants desperately.
