    Summary

    Perhaps it is this lack of touchstones, perhaps it is the always-liminal quality of the damp, gray time between golden leaves and snow, perhaps it is the two glasses of red wine on a mostly empty stomach or the way the green glow of the signal light catches in Benito’s dark eyes for a moment as he walks her home from the bar, but when he leans in to kiss her in front of her apartment building after their third proper date, Belly thinks about Conrad.

    She has thought about him before, of course, but in the way people say to focus on something else when someone is facing a fear of heights: an unrelenting, all-encompassing devotion to not thinking about it that you cannot falter in for even a moment—or you will look down and be hopelessly lost.

    Summary

    "Belly, look, in all seriousness," he says, catching his breath but still grinning, "you can't hire an escort. I can’t believe Agnes actually suggested that."

    My eyes widen. "Oh my god, Conrad, no! She wasn't suggesting I hire an escort. She was suggesting..."

    The words die in my throat. I trail off, looking at him—really looking at him—and realise there is no version of reality where I can comfortably say, 'She was suggesting you pretend to be my fake boyfriend so I can trick my ex into thinking I'm dating a brilliant, brooding Stanford doctor.'

    "What?" Conrad asks, his smile softening into something more curious, more focused.

    "What'd I miss?" Agnes’s voice cuts through the air as she slides back into the booth, drink in hand, sounding way too cheerful for someone who just abandoned her post. She looks between us, her eyebrows practically reaching her hairline when she sees how close we’re sitting.

    ---

    Or, an AU fic loosely based on The Wedding Date, featuring a scheming Agnes and a Conrad who's secretly been harbouring a crush on (a completely oblivious) Belly for the past six months.

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin never planned to reunite with the love of her life again in an ER, concussed, with a broken leg and wearing a hospital gown. But three years after their break-up, Conrad Fisher is suddenly back in her life: Driving her home, feeding her cat and acting like they can be friends.

    It wasn’t a lack of love or chemistry or anyone else that tore them apart, it was…just life. They had been epic (Deaths! Cancelled weddings! Trips around the world! Dramatic sprints through a train station!). Epic doesn’t always translate to Tuesday’s grocery shopping, piles of laundry and long shifts at work.

    Now, Belly needs help to recover and Conrad always did like to play her hero. Old habits and old feelings resurface. Is timing and the grind of daily life what really broke them up? Can a romance in the stars (that carries lots of checked baggage) find a way to also be a relationship that survives Sunday trips to Ikea?

    Summary

    after a breathless love confession on a speeding train, belly and conrad tumble into Brussels with nothing but stolen moments and wild hope. Paris waits, med school calls, and an ocean stretches between what they feel and the lives they’ve built.

    flashbacks and flashforwards trace their grief and laughter, old wounds and new promises. reality isn’t a fairytale, long distance is hard, love is harder.

    but the tide, the stars, and the way his voice wraps around "isabel" in the dark always lead them back to each other.

    my version of what happens next: the awkward logistics, the hard conversations, the star-drenched nights that get freaky, and the quiet mornings that feel like forever.
