hmm, natalie, for you i have the fake title "An Experiment in Love" (Ps, sorry this looks like its coming from a different account, ladymiresa is my side blog)
An Experiment in Love. Okay.
We’ve got an Uni AU, and we’ve got a Fake Dating AU.
And we’re also going to have to ignore the research ethics committees at universities to make this plausible, but I think we call all live with that.
The OFC, let’s call her Sage, is there getting her graduate degree in psych. She’s a bit kooky, a bit disorganised, but is always willing to put 110% into her work. She also really, really needs to be coming up with a thesis sometime soon, or she’s fucked.
Enter Harry, in the senior year of his undergrad. Harry’s lived in the same apartment building as her for the past six month, throws parties that are a bit too loud on occasion, but since it’s only on occasion she doesn’t hold it against him–much. He’s mildly irritating at most, but seems like a decent enough guy–he helped her carry in some boxes when she first moved in.
Sage is subletting her apartment to move in with her best friend closer to campus, and Harry really, really wants that apartment. It has a killer view and a patio, which is perfect for throwing parties.
Liam, however, also wants the apartment, and brings a basket of home-baked goods just to prove to her how much he wants it. Unfortunately for Liam, however, he doesn’t come by to view the apartment just after Sage has had what she is convinced is the best idea ever, and it’s going to help her with her thesis.
But to test it out, she needs someone to pretend to date her for a month. That’s where Harry is going to come in–if he wants her apartment, he needs to spend a month being Sage’s fake boyfriend. And Harry really wants that apartment.
