Summary
She is midway through a thought about how delightful her sandpit is when a high-pitched voice cuts through the air. “Hey! What’s your name?”
Mel turns, a red plastic shovel clenched in her fist. She searches for a moment, unsure where the voice has come from, before she spots a dark-haired head peeking over the wooden fence separating her backyard from the neighbour’s. The Petersons had it put in right after Becca and Mel learned to walk. Through the gaps between the slats, she can see the outline of a boy standing on his tiptoes on an overturned bucket.
She drops her shovel and walks over to the fence. There’s a multi-coloured table lying on its side in the grass. Becca normally holds her tea parties there, but Mel doesn’t think her twin will mind her using it as a stool. Especially not for a potential friend.
Or: Frank is Mel's next-door neighbour. They grow up together. It's hella cute and angsty.

Summary
She’s nestled in the corner of the cafe, one hand propped against her cheek and the other holding a book. He can’t quite read the title from here, but the cover is hot pink. There’s a sheet of golden hair obscuring half her face, but he’d know the shape of her anywhere. Her glasses are slipping down the bridge of her nose, and he watches as she uses one finger to push them back up.
Dr. Melissa King.
Stupidly, cowardly, Frank’s first instinct is to run away. To leave this coffee shop and never come back, lest he be reminded of the worst day of his life before he’s ready to face it.
Or: five times Frank and Mel share food, and one time they don't.

Summary
It’s fucking crazy of her. She stands there with hay stuck to the knees of her scrub pants, her mouth drawn into a thin line, and her eyes two icy shards of fury in her face. She looks like an avenging angel, all beautiful, righteous anger, backlit by the sun streaming through the square window. If it were anyone else, Frank is pretty sure Travis would have pulled the trigger.
But Mel has always bent the rules of the universe, so Travis just nods meekly and tucks his gun into the waistband of his jeans.
Or: Frank and Mel are kidnapped, and somehow it's the most romantic thing ever.

Summary
“I like science. More bio than anything, but chem can be cool, too.”
Frank’s eyes brightened, and his whole body turned towards her. “Shit, me too! I’m starting to look into options for undergrad, and I’m definitely thinking pre-med. Are you?”
It baffled her how he could sit there in a room that wasn't his, covered in evidence that the world was not kind, and still think about the future. For her, the future had slipped out of her grasp the night she and Becca had shown up here.
Or: Mel and Frank meet fifteen years before the Pitt, in a group home, during the worst year of both their lives. This is proof that they fall in love in every timeline.

Summary
He knew that her parents weren’t around, though he didn’t know why. He knew she took care of her sister. But, he wondered, who took care of her? Mohan, probably. And Santos. Even Whittaker to an extent. Well, sign him up. Put him in, Coach. He’d take care of her, too.
Or: all the ways Frank Langdon takes care of Mel King.

When There’s Nowhere Else To Run, Is There Room For One More? by P234age

Summary
“It’s a little difficult to think clearly with a knife pressed to his jugular, but Neil manages to wonder if he should’ve let the FBI send him to jail instead of here.
It makes sense, unfortunately, that after finding Neil bruised, burnt, and bleeding out on the cold cement floor of his father’s basement, Special Agent Todd Browning might have had some concerns for Neil’s health.
Neil just didn’t expect that concern to include his mental health, too.
Browning had offered Neil a choice that day - after listing out, like, fifty reasons why he thought Neil might benefit from some therapy.
Life in prison or a sixty day stay in a psych ward, followed by freedom.
Neil thought the answer was obvious, but his new roommate still hasn’t removed his blade from Neil’s throat - which Neil is now realizing isn’t actually a knife, but a razor blade taped to the butt of a toothbrush - so he’s rethinking that answer a bit.”
OR
The one where Neil and Andrew meet in Easthaven.

Kevin, Neil, and Allison are grad students, roommates, and obviously best friends. One fortuitous day, Kevin meets a short, knife-wielding blond guy in the library and brings him home to meet the short, knife-wielding redhead he lives with.
If only Neil knew what having a crush felt like before this happened.

Summary
The rise and fall of the Minyard-Josten Rivalry.
Usually when Neil starts shit in a post-game press interview, he does it on purpose. This time, he really just meant for it to be a joke.“How do you feel about the possibility of ending up on a team with a former Fox teammate?” is the next question.
“Great,” Neil answers, sincere. “I would love to play with Matt or Kevin again.”
“What about Minyard? Would you sign with Atlanta?”
Neil says, “Andrew? He’s a nightmare.”
He knows it’s a joke. His team knows it’s a joke. Andrew will know it’s a joke.
The press does not seem to know that it’s a joke.

Summary
So in the sweet post-divorce spot, when Frank starts to feel a tug in his heart that tells him that his feelings for Mel are starting to take a turn, he is determined not to listen to them, because he doesn't want to fuck up that relationship, too.
If there is anything that can be said about Frank Langdon, it is that he is stubborn. Unfortunately, in his stubbornness, he misses five very vital clues that tell him that he is being a moron.
(Or: 5 times Frank missed the fact that Mel was really trying to give him a big old clue.)
