    Summary

    One year after a devastating broken engagement, Belly seems to have landed on her feet: five hundred thousand Instagram followers, a book deal in the works, and a doting—if mysterious—boyfriend. Two weeks before Christmas, however, her prospective publisher throws a wrench in her perfectly crafted life: they want to meet her camera-shy boyfriend before putting pen to paper...and her camera-shy boyfriend doesn't exist.

    Enter Conrad Fisher: her forever what-if and the real-life inspiration for her fictional boyfriend, back in Boston for the holidays for the first time since literally running out of Belly's life six years earlier.

    What starts as a simple arrangement snowballs into a tangled web of old wounds and even older feelings as the counterfeit couple navigates the holiday season, but who are they really deceiving?

    Summary

    Perhaps it is this lack of touchstones, perhaps it is the always-liminal quality of the damp, gray time between golden leaves and snow, perhaps it is the two glasses of red wine on a mostly empty stomach or the way the green glow of the signal light catches in Benito’s dark eyes for a moment as he walks her home from the bar, but when he leans in to kiss her in front of her apartment building after their third proper date, Belly thinks about Conrad.

    She has thought about him before, of course, but in the way people say to focus on something else when someone is facing a fear of heights: an unrelenting, all-encompassing devotion to not thinking about it that you cannot falter in for even a moment—or you will look down and be hopelessly lost.

    Summary

    The passing days are as ordinary as they can get. So ordinary it verges on madness, because Conrad truly acts like nothing ever happened. Which is a good thing, and it isn’t.

    Having the guy she cheated on her fiancé with weigh in on what shade of pink works best for the peonies on the aisle kind of triggers her fight or flight response.

    Having the guy who bent her over the sink and called her a whore in her mind make her burnt pancakes every morning is, objectively, kind of weird.

    Summary

    Series of oneshots, loosely set in the universe and timeline of my story „Sleepless in Palo Alto“… inspired by a little moment they had that had Belly playfully tease Jere with the nickname „Jeremiah Grey“…

    NSFW, obviously!

    Summary

    Belly isn't sure why she's surprised to see Conrad pad into the living room of the little ski chalet Adam has rented in Chamonix for the week. She knew, when she'd accepted Jeremiah's invitation, that he'd be here. And yet it still feels like a surprise to see him, looking unreasonably cozy in a cable knit sweater and jeans.

    Or, an AU where Belly and Conrad don't end up in Cousins for Christmas.

    Summary

    After returning from Paris, Belly finally moves into Conrad’s quiet California apartment—where mornings feel slower, nights feel warmer, and loving each other no longer hurts.
    Now, for the first time, they get to just be: cooking together, studying together, fighting over blankets and grocery lists, learning how to build a life without running from it.
    With Jeremiah finding his own peace and becoming part of their story again, Belly and Conrad discover that love can grow gently, steadily, and without fear.
    From moving in, to getting married, to the moment they realize they’re no longer just two but growing into a family, this is their softest season yet.

    Summary

    Isabel Conklin used to think that the magic of Christmas was in snow, hot cocoa, a crackling fireplace, in childhood dreams coming true.

    But that was a long time ago.

    This year, she's finding that the true magic is in cold beers, sunsets over the ocean and truly finding herself.

    That coming home for Christmas might just be to a person, not a place.

    Summary

    Last summer left Conrad Fisher with nothing but ruins, yet autumn offered something unexpected in the form of Devon Watson. Not a saviour or a whirlwind, but a steady presence, unflinching in her care. In her company, Conrad found the seasons shifting; loss no longer the only thing to measure time by.

    Or, in which Conrad finds someone who chooses him and only him for once, and tries to mend his relationship with the only living member of his family that he can somewhat stand.
