Summary
“No, Conrad!” she practically shouted, grabbing her husband’s face in her hands and squeezing his cheeks until his lips puckered like a fish. “I want to go to your room. It has to be there.”
“No way,” Conrad tried to protest, his lips still squished together, before freeing himself from her grip with a little toss of his head. “Not a chance, Belly. I’ve been imagining our wedding night in your room since I was seventeen.”
“Well, I’ve been imagining our wedding night in your room since I was thirteen,” she shot back, her tone totally pert.

Summary
He is incapable of pulling away, incapable of not kissing her.
The train is moving. Not just moving, flying, really—Amtrak Northeast Regional this is not—and it is quickly becoming clear that the engineer of this railroad did not design it with romance in mind. Because sometime during minute six or seven or ten of kissing Belly, it begins to feel like an extreme sport. When they round a particularly sharp bend, Conrad has to steady himself on a seat back with one arm so that he can use the other to hold Belly upright and continue to kiss her like the world is ending.
Honestly, he feels like it actually is, in some ways. Or maybe it ended five years ago and this is some post-apocalyptic fantasy. Either way, it all feels so terrifyingly good and new that Conrad is not about to tempt fate by letting her go.
*****
A series of canon-compliant vignettes about a post-E11 Belly and Conrad. While each chapter can be read on its own, there is a cohesive storyline from one to the next. That storyline is mostly that they love each other a lot (and have sex a lot).

Summary
Moments after the final kiss, Belly and Conrad board the train to Paris carrying years of silence between them. With the rest of the world asleep outside their window, they finally find the courage to talk about everything they lost—prom, grief, Jeremiah, the wedding, and the love they spent years trying to bury.
But this isn't a story about looking back It's about deciding what comes next.
Between tears, quiet laughter, intertwined hands, and promises whispered into the dark, they begin imagining a future that stretches across oceans, time zones, and impossible distances. For the first time, they aren't wondering if they'll find their way back to each other.
They're figuring out how to stay.Bookmarked by julchenfrege

Summary
An hour ago, Conrad told Belly he loved her. It went nowhere. Now he's hiding in the back seat of his own car when she climbs behind the wheel and drives off into the storm—without a clue he's there. He doesn't announce himself. He doesn't stop her. He just lies there in the dark, watching the girl he's loved for years come undone—and knowing he's probably why.
______________________________________
The story gradually grows from a little escape to something neither of them planned.
______________________________________
A canon-divergent AU picking up right after Conrad's confession in Episode 7.
______________________________________
just so we're clear: it's messy, chaotic, deeply emotional, occasionally overdramatic, brutal, and fluffy. Lots of yearning. Even more angst. Smut. And a very protective, deeply loving Conrad.Bookmarked by julchenfrege

Summary
How could he go to Jeremiah to ask for his blessing without telling her? Now, Halloween made so much sense. How giddy he'd been, open and free. Giving her his heart in a bag full of her favorite candy. Conrad had taken it all away, like he always did. And Belly was so tired… so, so tired. Maybe if she could get closer to the water…
It was cold against her feet, but a swig at the tequila made her warm. Maybe she could sleep here? Right there. Someone — Conrad — would find her in the morning, and everything would be alright again. But she couldn't get deeper. Belly felt him before she heard him. The wind and the waves almost make his voice sound like a dream.
"Belly! Come back inside," Oh, she can feel that he had his older brother's voice. "I'm not dragging your dead body out of the ocean if you drowned out there, Isabel."
"Leave me alone, Conrad," It comes out slurred.
"Come out of the water, Belly!"
(what if they revealed more during the beach fight?)
