    Summary

    Conrad has had various scars across his body for as long as Belly has known him.  Using each line, every ridge as a metric system, she can measure the events of his life by his scars. She knows he was six years old when he earned the small dot on the front of his right shin from running into a rock along the beach; nine years old when he got a thin, inch long zigzag on his left forearm while hiking with his Boy Scout troop in the Spring. She’s read the story of his life through the marks on his body with her fingers, her lips, her tongue, to the point where she can map him with her eyes closed.

     

    Or: Belly Conklin is 25 years old when she realizes she might have a scar kink.

    Summary

    The first thing Belly notices is the white coat. A white coat means a doctor, and if a doctor is coming to look at her, her knee must be worse off than she’d realized.

    And then her gaze lands on the doctor’s face.  A face she hasn’t seen in almost 10 years.  A face she used to know better than she knew anyone else’s. 

     

    Or: The tennis AU where Belly is a professional tennis player, Conrad is a sports medicine doctor and her ex-boyfriend, and they reunite.

    Summary

    "I know what I am," Belly says.

    "Do you?" Conrad's so close now she can see the exact moment his eyes shift again, green bleeding into gold, storm-cloud and starving in the middle. "Then show me."

    ( some places, the veil is thin. Cousins, Massachusetts is practically tissue paper. )

    Summary

    Belly never chased Conrad after kicking him out of her apartment in Paris. 13 years later, she's forced to confront the fallout of her choices when she meets his family.

    A tale of what happens when the person you've hurt makes choices that hurt you right back. Can you come back from that?

    Inspired by the lyrics of "God Knows I Tried" by Lana Del Rey
