Summary
The lights are bright and a pure, dazzling white; Jackie’s voice drips honey; the beat thumps on, light drum hits and hi-hats; her midriff is smooth and visible above the belt loops of her low-waisted blue jeans; the young girls in the crowd squeal as she sways innocently in front of them; and Shauna is one bass strum away from snapping.
But in Nat’s darkened pupils, recognition lingers, long, defiant and impossibly persistent:
“I know that’s not the kind of music you want to make.”Or:
It’s 2005, and Honey Atomic are going through a bit of a sophomore slump. Golden girls who charmed the world with innocence and bubblegum are waning in a market that wants edge.
And worse have it, their bassist Shauna is seriously crashing out, harboring secrets and resentment from her childhood best friend, and the band’s lead singer, Jackie, and drummer Taissa, and masses of fans who suddenly seem like they would really care to know.
That’s until she meets Nat, lead singer and guitarist of a new feminist punk band that makes every manager in the pop world cry.
Nat doesn’t pretend she’s not crashing out. And Shauna can't stop looking at her.

Summary
“Well, that little gay pixie out there just had her hand in your back pocket,” The landlord says, hands on her hips. “You sure you two aren’t a couple?”
“No, we’re just best friends. Roommates now, too.”
The landlord sighs and flips over the white paper in her hand. “Well, as you would have read, you can’t get the discount on rent, then. It’s for married couples only.”
“The discount?” Shauna murmurs, the zeros on her student debt screaming at her in her head. “How much?”
“Half the advertised rent price.”
Oh. Shauna thinks, then gulps.
Oh.
“I was only joking,” She blurts out, symptomatic of disconnect between mouth and brain. “We are. A married couple—yeah. Me and Jackie are married.”
Or, an AU where Shauna suddenly realizes there are a few benefits to people mistaking her and her roommate/long-term best friend Jackie for a married couple, which Jackie would totally understand her indulging in, right? If only she told Jackie what she was telling people about them, that is.
Or, nine times people mistake Jackie and Shauna for a married couple, and the one time they realize they actually are one.

Summary
Jackie’s voice doesn’t feel like anyone else’s but her own when she says: ‘I’m not gonna go to Rutgers. I’ll email them saying I’m not coming.’
She gazes at the others, stoic and defiant: ‘I’m going to Brown. Misty, please help me get there.’
Under the translucent frames of her glasses, Misty’s eyes sparkle as bright as her white teeth.
OR:
Shauna slept with Jackie's boyfriend.
Tai dumped Van to go to Howard.
And Lottie......Lottie just pisses Nat off.
Cue Misty Quigley, and a wild revenge plot.
This is a Modern AU, most of the events described will take place between the years 2017-2018 [The girls are 18-19 between these years], no plane crash.
