    Summary

    “I hope-” Bella swallowed thickly against the lump in her throat, “I hope you remember this.” She had meant to say to remember her, to remember them. But after it left her mouth, she didn’t want to take it back. Because deep inside of Bella there was a child who watched her mother pack her things up in the middle of night for another “weekend away”, the child who had felt awkward calling her father to wish him a Merry Christmas, the child who now reared its head in this desperate moment and prayed that Edward would remember breaking the heart of an eighteen-year-old girl in a shitty town called Forks.

    “I will.”

    -

    Where Bella gets better. She laughs, she has friends, and eventually, she loves again.

    Summary

    Devi takes a deep breath. “When you called me an unfuckable nerd, I decided I wanted to prove you wrong. Lose my V-card. That was my goal for this year. It’s how the whole thing with Paxton got started, actually.”

    Regret washes over Ben like the heat from the fire, starting at the top of his head and melting all the way down his body. “Jesus, Devi,” he says, “I didn’t actually mean it.”

    “You did,” she says, looking down into her drink. “It’s fine, being mean to each other is our thing.”

    -

    California announces Covid-19 stay at home orders when Devi is living at Ben’s house in S01E10. His parents are stuck overseas, Patty is quarantining with her own family and Nalini and Devi are in a Cold War.

    Summary

    “We do this on my schedule. If you’re not available when I am, tough luck. You’re welcome to fail your test.”

    Devi sneers. “You passed, didn’t you? So clearly they’ll give a license to anyone.”

    Ben hums. “That brings us to condition number two: no snide comments about my driving. If my skills are good enough to co-opt, you’re not allowed to mock them.”

    “Anything else?” she asks through gritted teeth.

    “One last thing.” He takes a step closer to her, and she finds herself fixed under the weight of his stare, pulse leaping. “My agreeing to this does not mean we’re friends again.”

    For one painful second, the grip Ben Gross somehow managed to get on her heart earlier that year exerts itself, squeezing tight. And then she’s rolling her shoulders back and giving him a wolfish grin. “Oh, Gross. We were barely friends in the first place”

    Summary

    Ten years ago, Clarke found out she had superpowers. Now she's all ready to start a new life: English teacher by day, vigilante by night. All she has to do is figure out how to be a superhero, avoid getting caught and shipped off by mandatory metahuman registration, and not strangle the stupid history teacher down the hall.

    It'll be fun.

    Summary

    “You understand, Professor,” Harry began, after a moment, “that I don’t have my N.E.W.T.s. I never even finished seventh year. Between everything, I never had a chance the first time around, and then afterwards there didn’t seem to be much point. Hermione argued for it, of course, but I was so tired of Britain. So technically, I am completely unqualified for the position.”

    “Quite a way to begin an interview, Mr. Potter,” McGonagall said, dryly.

    Or, three years after the war, Harry Potter becomes Hogwarts' newest Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

    Summary

    Prim has learned that if she asks for something directly, Gale has a hard time saying no to her. So when he knocks on her door on Saturday morning, the week after her fourteenth birthday, Prim opens it with Katniss’s bow in her hand and the quiver of arrows slung over her shoulder. She’s hunched over awkwardly, unused to the weight. A shadow falls over Gale’s face.

    “Please,” she says before he can say anything. “Will you show me?”

    or, Katniss dies in the 74th Hunger Games. Prim and Gale are left behind.

    Summary

    The little girl is sitting primly on the edge of her bus seat, her feet dangling wildly as her mother tries to tame her hair, and Michelle can’t help but think she looks sweet. She likes kids. But, to be frank, Michelle has never imagined herself with them. When she looked into the future she saw other goals. There was always too much world to help save to worry about babies.

    And yet the little girl with the cockeyed bow tie hanging out of her left piggy tail makes Michelle's heart leap.

    It probably isn’t tactful. In fact, Michelle is certain wrecking balls have caused less alarm. Still, she can’t help blurt it out when she and Peter are sprawled out on their couch watching old reruns of Battlestar Galactica. He is saying something or other about Lee when Michelle cuts him off dry, saying, “I’m going to have a baby.”

    Summary

    Ned was the one who suggested the road trip in the first place. Peter reminds himself to be mad at his friend for his misguided suggestion when they get back home. Michelle had a cool interview in DC that she won in some contest for young leaders. And Peter happened to be the only one amongst her friends that had a car. Tony had left it to him in his will. It was a little flashy for his taste, but it achingly reminded him of his mentor.

    She needed a car to get to DC. Peter had a car. It felt like a no brainer.

    Or, well, it would have been if he was not the world's most spectacular idiot.

    Summary

    “She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts, she’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers!”

    With earphones jammed in her ears, Rey sings at the top of her voice and pushes the heavy lawnmower against the overgrown grassland that is her back yard. Maz, her foster mom, had told Rey that “if she didn’t get off her lazy ass and do something productive, she would get her phone confiscated for the next month.” So, here she is: sweating profusely in the smallest pair of shorts she could find, trying her damn hardest to cut down the grass that hasn’t been mowed in like, ten freakin’ years.

    A nerdy Ben Solo moves in next door to Rey. She doesn't like him. She doesn’t.

    “You know, when I was imagining our crime-solving, being heroes road trip, I was hoping for something a little cooler and more exciting than this,” said Tandy.

    She cast a significant look around their grim surroundings. The thrill of driving through the unfamiliar desert landscape had long since worn off, and now it was just boring, nothing but sand and rocks and scrubby little plants for miles and miles. Not that there was much thrill in any Greyhound bus trip.

    Tandy and Tyrone do some sleuthing and try to level up some more, with mixed results.
