Cross-Checks & Meet-Cutes

A Game Changers & Heated Rivalry rom-com AU event POSTING: March 29th thru April 4th

[crosschecks-n-meetcutes]

Welcome to Cross-Checks & Meet-Cutes: a Game Changers & Heated Rivalry rom-com AU event!

There are a vast number of rom-coms out there that work perfectly for the characters and pairings of this universe. Rom-coms offer a safe place when everything else around us might not be that. We love them for the hope and escape they offer, and they can be very fun places to play in.

Here you will find the very simple rules and any information you may need. If there is anything you want to know that might have been missed, just send an ask.

If I Can't Love Him, my second and final entry for @crosschecks-n-meetcutes, is here! PLEASE check the tags before reading and stay safe!

“We're engaged!”

“Oh,” Kip said quietly. Sure, he had been bracing himself for this very eventuality, had even been expecting it, but it was still a shock for it to be a reality.

My fic for the Crosschecks & Meetcutes Romcom AU Event.

It was supposed to be 10-12k but somehow grew to 34k.

As the title suggests, it’s a Model Behavior AU. You know that Disney Channel movie with fetus Justin Timberlake.

The Lucky One, my first fic for @crosschecks-n-meetcutes , is here!

“I'm Harris. What can I do for you?” the other guy asked, a grin still planted on his face.

Troy shuffled his feet, looking down at his shoes before meeting the other man’s eyes. “Troy. And… It’s… it’s kind of weird, actually. I’m honestly wondering if you’ll even believe me.”

If Shane didn’t know better and believed in the existence of mermaids, he’d swear this man was the real deal. Each scale on his silicone tail is carefully painted, and looks to be hand sculpted. The webbing of each of the five fins on the suit is fine and delicate, floating through the water and creating an ethereal effect. The man has even used make up to blend the scales into his hips, making a seamless line between his silicone tail and his skin. He’s even gone so far as to attach what Shane has to assume are silicone gills to his ribs which also flutter in the manmade current of the tank as he laughs and twirls for the children, then swims up to the surface and breaks for air.

Okay, maybe Shane has been standing here mesmerized. Whoops.

OR, Shane is a marine biologist who works at the Ottawa Aquarium. Ilya is an aquarium mermaid, and Shane is absolutely mesmerized. Read it on AO3. For ICE OUT and @crosschecks-n-meetcutes !
