    Summary

    Belly has a theory: Conrad moans because he's spent so much of his life keeping everything locked down tight. All his emotions, all his pain, all his fear. He's gotten so good at control that when he finally lets go, when he's with her, when he's inside her, when he's arguing with her, when he's overwhelmed by sensation he can't think his way out of, everything comes spilling out at once.

     

    (inspired by the guest bedroom scene without music)

    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

    She considers calling Taylor. She considers throwing her phone out the window. She considers tracking down her laptop and doing a deep-dive into the operation of the Hinge algorithm, so she can decide whether this chance-meeting-by-app was a matter of fate, circumstance, or mathematics.

    (Three years after almost marrying his brother, Belly stumbles across Conrad Fisher's profile on a dating app. She's being, like, totally normal about it.)

    Summary

    She couldn’t move her lips to speak; hell, she couldn’t even feel them. Was she dying? Her chest heaved even more at the thought.

    “Belly, breathe. I- I think you’re having a panic attack. Let me call Mom.”

    A panic attack. Conrad said he had one before – after the funeral. That meant – Conrad would know what to do. Feeling every bit the little girl she used to be, the one who blindly trusted Conrad and thought he hung the moon, Belly clenched her fists tightly. “C-call Conrad.”

    He would fix it. Conrad might have broken her heart, but he would never, ever let anything happen to her.

     

    An au where Belly realizes the hard way that feelings that hide don’t always stay hidden, and relationships that die don’t always stay dead.

    Summary

    Conrad is working on understanding what it feels like to go an entire day and not actively think about Isabel Conklin. He’s pretty conflicted about it, truthfully.

    (Conrad doesn't see Belly in the airport, and Belly doesn't say anything to him before she boards her flight. He flies back to California that night assuming the wedding went on without him.)
