Toni and Shelby have a somewhat complicated relationship. In their freshman year, they had been quite close since Martha was quick to make friends with the girl from out of state. They soon only spoke on occasion and when Martha was around, as Shelby withdrew herself from their lunch table and began having lunch with her new boyfriend: Andrew along with his friends. What made the bond completely snap in half was when Toni got her first girlfriend, Regan at the start of sophomore year. After Toni & Regan broke up, Toni became angrier than ever and didn’t care if she hurt the feelings of the ‘friendly neighbourhood’ Christian girl. So when they’re forced to work together for a school project, they are forced to put aside their differences, causing a fresh new dynamic between the two to occur, changing their life’s for good.

And then Toni has an idea. It’s a terrible idea. It’s a horrible, no-good, potentially life-ruining, mess of a plan. It’s not even a plan, it’s just an impulsive thought. So, of course, she says it immediately.
“I could be your girlfriend,” she says. Shelby stares at her, like she’s so shocked she forgets that she’s freaking out.
Or, Shelby runs a YouTube channel, which Toni has been hate watching for years. On mere coincidence, they’re assigned to be college roommates, and of course, end up fake-dating.
She’s a Knockout by Moon_Cube (M) 2/5
Boxer AU. Toni’s an undefeated amateur boxer. Shelby’s the new ring girl. Except, she’s not new. Shelby’s been secretly crushing on Toni for months. So, she pays Fatin to switch schedules with her so she can work Toni’s next card. Toni finally notices her. But, it doesn’t go quite like Shelby had hoped. Until it does.

Toni does not remember the last time she has been this nervous about anything. Which is ridiculous considering she has been on stage in a bikini, played Born This Way on fucking water glasses and saved the lives of numerous people on national television, including the life of the person who happens to be the cause of her restlessness.akaAfter the events of the pageant finale, Toni and Shelby finally manage to go out on a date together. This is a one shot connected to Miss Congeniality; however, you don’t need to read that to understand what’s going on here. It’s really just a lot of Shoni fluff and I’m gonna give a quick breakdown of the story in the notes.

Toni owns a plant shop in Minnesota. Shelby can’t keep a plant alive, but something (or someone) keeps drawing her back to the store, week after week.
