    Summary


    "I'll scream," Belly lets escape from inside a stifled fit of erupting giggles. This is the best night of her life, and she'll already miss it forever.

    "Yeah right," Conrad replies, laughing a little, incurably charmed by the weird things that seem to delight her. "I think you like it here too much."

    It sounds like it tempts him, and it sounds like it scares him.

    Summary

    "Conrad," Celine will repeat slowly, rolling the name around in her mouth like wine. Testing it. Tasting it. "Tell me about Conrad, Isabel. Did he break your heart?"

    "It's more complicated—"

    "It would feel good to write your own ending this time, no?"

    Summary

    Conrad's texts arrive at odd hours, slipping into her phone while she sleeps. Belly's voice notes play in his sterile kitchen as he makes coffee, her laughter bouncing off surfaces too clean, too empty.
    If there are infinite worlds, every version of me chooses you, Belly told him on that speeding train to Brussels, still catching her breath.
    In the spaces between, they create them.

     

    (between Paris and Palo Alto, Belly and Conrad begin a game where they get to choose each other again and again)

    Summary

    He deserved to stay in this moment, to feel the crushing silence after disaster. The heaviness in the air. The kind of quiet that comes after sobbing into your pillow, when your body is too tired to cry, when each breath hurts. When the song ends but the vinyl keeps spinning; reeling, searching, for nothing.

    Something.

    They could've been something.

    It was better this way, he was sure of that.

    He didn’t need this… neediness.

    This desperation to melt into someone’s arms.

    Even if it meant Belly never forgiving him.

     

    OR,

    The first time Belly told Conrad she loved him, he didn’t believe her.

    They struggle to find their way back.

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin is sitting in the passenger seat of a beat-up truck that smells of burnt leather, a remnant of the arson it survived two weeks prior. She’s beat up, too, violet bruises blooming on her knees. At least, she tells herself, glancing toward the boy at the wheel, they match his.

    Conrad Fisher would kill a man for her. In fact, he almost did.

    ***

    (or: Belly Conklin is privileged, and the beach house is hers. Conrad Fisher lives and works on his family's peach orchard. She still loves him, chooses him. His demons, too.)

    Summary

    Conrad has a rough plan for most days: scheduled appointments, things he has to do, things he better do and things he would like to do. And plans change, that’s completely normal. He just never expects the reason for the change of plans to be Belly landing in California in an hour.

    Tremor doesn’t reach his hands before he replies to her messages. But just as he does and Conrad blocks the phone, his hands start trembling so hard the phone falls between his knees and he lets his fingers tangle in his hair and tug hard trying to feel something to assure his brain it’s not a dream. Belly in California, willing to see him? He had too many dreams starting exactly this way not to question his sanity at least for a moment.

     

    'Can't Stop' made me do it, but TTPD is the official soundtrack. It gets better before it gets even better and barely ever gets worse. It's a fluff and smut train, but angsty feelings will be addressed

    Summary

    He is incapable of pulling away, incapable of not kissing her. 

    The train is moving.  Not just moving, flying, really—Amtrak Northeast Regional this is not—and it is quickly becoming clear that the engineer of this railroad did not design it with romance in mind.  Because sometime during minute six or seven or ten of kissing Belly, it begins to feel like an extreme sport.  When they round a particularly sharp bend, Conrad has to steady himself on a seat back with one arm so that he can use the other to hold Belly upright and continue to kiss her like the world is ending.

    Honestly, he feels like it actually is, in some ways.  Or maybe it ended five years ago and this is some post-apocalyptic fantasy.  Either way, it all feels so terrifyingly good and new that Conrad is not about to tempt fate by letting her go.

    *****

    A series of canon-compliant vignettes about a post-E11 Belly and Conrad. While each chapter can be read on its own, there is a cohesive storyline from one to the next. That storyline is mostly that they love each other a lot (and have sex a lot).

    Summary

    He had loved her long before he knew what love really was, and by the time he knew, it felt like something natural. Like how the sky was blue, or how grass was green.
    Conrad Fisher had always, and would always love Isabel Conklin.

    Summary

    ‘Conrad never had the option to choose himself. Everyone in his life got to be freely selfish; why couldn’t he get to do it this one time? And here Belly was, practically holding out her hand.

    “Fuck it. Let’s go to Paris.”’

    When Belly suddenly leaves her ex-fiancé behind and buys a one-way ticket to Paris, spotting Conrad changes everything yet again.

    So she asks him to join her.

    Summary

    That night in the motel, Belly had gone to bed in a white tank top and shorts. Her hair was so long it fell past her shoulder blades. She wore no jewelry. The new her, the her that had appeared at 3:03 am, had bluntly cut shoulder-length hair and a gleaming rock on her left ring finger. She wore only a black pair of panties and a baby-pink camisole that stretched halfway down her very round and very pregnant abdomen.

    OR

    Belly—29 years old, pregnant—swaps places with her younger self the morning after her kiss with Jeremiah. Drama ensues.
