    Summary

    When Belly Conklin went to tell Jeremiah that she had kissed Conrad —and that she still wanted to stay friends— things didn’t unfold the way she intended.

    Now, as a second-year transfer at Stanford, she's determined to focus on her Sports Psychology major and leave the past where it belongs.

    Unfortunately for Belly, the past is teaching her a core curriculum course.

    Conrad Fisher —the man she’s loved her entire life— is her TA for Neurobiology of Performance.

    And seeing him again might be harder than losing him ever was.

    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

    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."

    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?

    A few oblique references that may need warnings will be given in those chapters.

    Summary

    An incomplete list of things roommates Belly and Conrad will say just this once to:

    1.) Watching TV together when they can’t sleep. (Oops, it becomes a routine rather quickly.)

    2.) Sharing a bed. (A pipe burst in their apartment and they have to get a hotel room, what are they supposed to do?)

    3.) Having sex with each other. (Sexual tension is taut between them, and they’re getting it out of their system. But then they’re doing it again. And again, and then one last time, for real . . . Fifth time’s the charm, surely.)

    What’s next, falling in love? Yeah, right.

    “Sometimes,” Belly starts, the words feeling like a lump in her throat, “Sometimes I feel like it would be better if we never met at all.” She doesn’t mean it though. No matter how much it hurt, she could never mean it at all.

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin has a plan. A career in private equity. A fully-funded Roth IRA. A boyfriend who looks good in photos and gets along with her parents.

    What she doesn’t have is any desire to get engaged at her own birthday dinner—especially not in front of two sets of parents, one suspiciously expensive cake, and her childhood best friend Conrad, who just flew back into town looking unfairly good in black.

    Wry, sharply observant, and just a little unhinged, First Call is a love letter to the best friends who know you too well, the plans that fall apart, and the unexpected things that happen when you finally stop pretending you have it all figured out.

    Summary

    The cut on his leg from the fin of his surfboard had made him a bit dizzy but he remembered the sting of hurt flesh, the burn of ocean water, and the pain with every step. The blood trails that followed, he was working on taking care of the wound himself.

    When she appeared.

    “You shouldn’t be sleeping.”

    “Then keep me awake.”

    Everything turned into a blur with her soft touches that roamed over his injury, then her hands moved over shoulders, and pulled at his swim trunks. Her mouth moved on his lips.

    They shouldn’t—but he was only a man.

    Summary

    Really, if you were to ask her, she thinks it would be a simple fix. But she doesn't want simple. She knows if she were to outright ask Conrad “Can you get off the roof and put your hands on me, please?”, he’d do it with no hesitation. Belly knows her husband well. He loves touching her as much as she loves touching him. Her man is a doctor, handyman, but more importantly to her, he was her husband who was just as madly in love with her as she was with him.

     

    But she found herself questioning silently - where was the fun in being nice after being left alone in bed? Belly thinks back to the baby blue bikini, a new suit she bought with intentions to make her husband go a little crazy with wearing his favorite color, sitting in her suitcase as she took another piece of apple to bite on.

    -

    or, what if Conrad's hot handyman moment from 3x05 happens when they're married and Belly finds herself a little jealous of the shingles he's repairing on the roof
