    Summary

    Faith doesn’t notice anything strange until the next morning, when they wake up in bed together. In another time. In another world. In a world where they’re married and living together and raising Buffy’s little sis and everyone’s walking around treating the situation like it’s fine and good and normal and not like things are about fifty shades from okay.

    They’re the only ones who notice anything is wrong; the only ones who can remember. Everything’s different and nothing makes sense and they’re the only ones who can see it.

    Oh yeah, and apparently none of the Scoobies know that they’re Slayers, either.

    So… This is gonna suck.

    Summary

    Shauna Shipman has always been Wiskayok High’s good girl—straight-A student, star midfielder of the YellowJackets, and Jackie Taylor’s faithful shadow. But one month of after-school detention beside Natalie Scatorccio—the school’s chain-smoking, rule-breaking bad girl—shatters her carefully ordered world. Between stolen candy runs at a 24-hour bodega, smoke-filled bedrooms, and midnight walks under empty streetlights, Shauna finds herself drawn to Natalie in ways she never imagined, forcing her to confront a secret she’s been terrified to admit. As petty thefts turn into stolen kisses and every rule she’s ever followed slips through her fingers, Shauna must choose: remain Jackie’s perfect sidekick or step into the dark, thrilling light of her own truth.

    Summary

    [Pre-crash / No crash AU]

    They've been best friends since childhood, but Shauna has two massive secrets she keeps from Jackie: That she's desperately in love with her, and that she also deeply resents her.

    With a few months left until their high school graduation and Nationals on the table, everything changes for Jackie and Shauna when Jackie breaks up with Jeff and one of their usual late-night makeouts crosses a line that can't be un-crossed. As their friendship turns sexual, Shauna tries to decode what it all means while she waits for an acceptance letter from Brown and hopes to leave Jackie—and the feelings she's always had for her—behind.

    Summary

    It starts like this: Shauna and Jackie are fighting.

    Shauna slams the door as she goes outside, leaving Jackie alone inside.

    Lottie doesn't understand what's just happened because it wasn't supposed to happen this way. Right?

    Or:

    The first snow comes, and somethings different. Someone that was never supposed to go outside gets caught in the cold. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. Things will never be the same.

    A fic about what happens if Jackie and Shauna switch places, told through the dual POV of Jackie and Lottie. There's angst, sorrow, strife, and somehow just a little bit of happiness found along the way between a girl who had everything and lost it and a girl who had nothing and now has too much.

    "Someone I loved once gave me
    a box of darkness.

    It took me years to understand
    that this, too, was a gift." -- "The Uses of Sorrow" by Mary Oliver
