Scroll down to One Shots to check them out.

Series link on AO3: Autumn In Philadelphia
Twenty years ago, Shawn Hunter had the opportunity to have the kind of family Cory Matthews had, but a jealous ex-girlfriend of his foster father destroyed that chance. After 17 years on the run, he has a chance for that happy ending again. But he isn't the only one who's back. As history gets set to repeat itself, Shawn enlists the help of his best friends and newly found sister to correct the mistakes of the past.
A Jonathan Turner and Shawn Hunter story with the entire BMW and GMW cast set in 1995 and 2015.
Canon-compliant. The presence of Audrey changes nothing that happens in BMW or GMW. This series tries to wrangle canon loose ends and continuity confusion into a cohesive story.
Audrey was created in 1995.
The Books:
Autumn in Philadelphia- Jon and Shawn try to settle into their changing roles from teacher and student to guardian and charge with limited to success. A student teacher assigned to Jon changes his relationship with Shawn in ways he could never have imagined. (Complete)

Shades of Love: A Shondrey Collection- Family is what you make it and with whom you make it.
A collection of drabbles, double drabbles, and slice of life moments with the family they found.
The name Shondrey (Shawn, Jon, and Audrey) comes from @mrsmungus (Mirandabelle ) who gave this little family their name. She was also the one to coin Jondrey (Jon and Audrey's ship name). This is quite an honor for me as she writes another favorite family of mine Tiva (Tony DiNozzo/Ziva David) and Tivali (Tony, Ziva, Tali).

The following three stories are very special to me. They were gifted to me by my dear friend and sister @mrsmungus. They are perfection!
Beneath A Scarlet Ribbon by @mrsmungus
December 98, their first New York Christmas.
Jon and Audrey decorate their tree and find themselves reminded of the past, while trying to live their present. But an early Christmas gift from Jon suddenly has the future looking a lot clearer.
When One Door Closes by Mirandabelle- Jon Turner learns a lesson in hope, patience and love as he tries to settle his newborn daughter to sleep.
*NEW* Lost & Found by Mirandabelle
When he loses his 2.5yo daughter Julia in Central Park on a sunny spring afternoon in 2002, Jon Turner finds out just how deep fear can run, and how many ways there are to be a good father.
The Art of Autumn in Philadelphia- Original artwork for the series by yours truly.
One-Shots:
The following stories are a part of the AiP universe although where they fit into the timeline is nebulous. And in one story AiP is that world's BMW.
These stories are written by my incredibly talented friends.
*NEW* But I Will Carry it Along by Yotsubadancesintherain5
When Shawn is acting unusually jumpy, Jon tries to uncover the reason.
*NEW* Driver's Ed by Impractical_Magic (sliebman10)
When Shawn gets his driver's license, Jon fulfills his promise to teach Shawn how to ride his motorcycle.
If You Love Someone by Yotsubadancesintherain5
On a cold winter morning Jon wakes up with a clear mind. In comparison to how his winter mornings used to go, the mornings he has now that Audrey and Shawn are in his life are much more colorful, warm and loving - and noisy, because there are some loud cooking noises going on in his kitchen.
Daredevil Hunter by TheSalty- âAre you sure this is a good idea?â
Why did that question seem to define Shawn Hunter's life?
This story was written for me and my sis, @justanotherpersonwhowrites by our incredible nephew, @tsunderesalty. Set earlier in the AiP timeline, this story captures the spirit of season 2 so well. Audrey's inclusion is just perfect.
Sniffing Out a Rat by @sliebman10
When Shawn plays a prank on Mr. Turner during class, he and Shawn have a heart to heart about his behavior.
Breaking the Fourth Wall by @the-orion-scribe
A Gravity Falls next-gen story featuring Dipper and Pacifica's children. AiP appears as this world's BMW.
I've been wanting one for a long time but couldn't find any that were active. I've also seen in the BMW tags people looking to talk to others about the show.
So I created a server myself.
