James Cook Jr. x Effy Stonem 

As soon as he saw her he knew who she was. It was unmistakeable. The way she walked, how she moved, the air in which she carried herself. There were things that you just didn’t forget about someone. Effy Stonem had been a lot of things for Cook. She had been confusing, yet not hard to understand. There was a darkness inside of both of them, and Cook had accepted her for that darkness. He hadn’t needed her to change because he understood that darkness all too well. Another similarity they had had was their love of the same boy. It was two different kinds of love, but a love nonetheless. It was strange to him. How he and Effy had both loved Freddie and how he and Freddie had both loved Effy. He used to wonder about who loved Cook?? It was a stupid wonder though really, Cook knew better than to ponder on that now. Cook was nothing, pure shit. That was just the way of the world, the way things had to be. He started towards her, walking across the middle of the park like he was on a mission. He stopped in front of her, he couldn’t help the way his gaze naturally softened as he tried to meet her eyes. 

“What in the fuck are you doing here princess?”

Alice Cullen x Bella Swan 

Alice wasn’t exactly sure why she had decided to go for a walk that day, but what she did know was that it was cloudy and grey when she left for her walk. As she walked the sun started to come out, and she smiled. Sunshine would feel good on her skin, she hoped anyways. What happened next surprised and shocked her beyond belief. Her skin started to sparkle and shine, glinting in her eyes. Alice thought that she was alone on her walk, and had no idea that anyone was around her. Backing into the shade underneath a nearby tree she watches as the sparkle fades. “Well, that wasn’t exactly something I planned for when I woke up today.” Alice said aloud, to what she thought was no audience.

Beth Greene x Michonne Hawthorne 

Beth had been wandering around town, visiting all of her favourite places. It was so easy and simple to get lost in all of it. She had grown up here, there was a sense of familiarity in everything. Yet, somehow, it seemed that everyday new people she didn’t know were showing up. If someone had asked Beth to recite the details of growing up in Bar Harbor, she would spin a different story every single time and never realize that none of them were true. Everything inside her mind had been altered, and she was left with only strange feelings of darkness and fear that arose within her every once in awhile. She never knew what would trigger it, or why. She chose to ignore it, rather than to investigate it. She stopped by another as the sun was setting, a smile lighting up her features as she watched the colours that danced in the sky as night fell over Bar Harbor. She spoke to the stranger then, her voice soft and kind as it always was, 

“It’s beautiful, ain’t it? The sun settin’. Honestly, it’s one of my favourite things about living here.”

Nathan Scott x Brooke Davis 

“No, sorry.” Nathan shook his head, studying the other person from top to bottom. He had been in the middle of his lunch when the interaction started. He had been planning on eating and then heading back to the gym for some alone time. If he was honest with himself, Nathan spent most of his time alone. He hadn’t really had very many friends growing up, and the ones he did have had just wanted to be friends with him because he was good at something. Nathan didn’t know the meaning of a ‘true’ friend, and he didn’t fully understand how to be kind or gracious. He saw those things as weaknesses, as his father had so clearly told him growing up in Bar Harbor. Nathan was clueless to the actual world he was from, he didn’t even know that the father he thought he had in Bar Harbor, was actually Dan Scott. He didn’t know that the snippets of memories he did have about his dad were in fact really from his old life. It was the only piece of his past life that had stuck with him, everything else was gone. 

“I have no idea who you are, Brooke Davis or not. Really, I’ve never seen you before and quite honestly, I’m just trying to eat my lunch. So unless you have something that’s actually important to say to me...then thanks but no thanks. I’m not interested in whatever stupid story you’re trying to sell me.”

Cassie Ainsworth x Effy Stonem 

Cassie’s mind was a jumbled mess, which was was how it was normally, only here it seemed that it was more so this way. She knew that something was off, that perhaps she wasn’t really from here, but she couldn’t piece enough of it together that it made sense as anything more than something she had made up to make herself feel better. Memories floated around aimlessly, and every time she tried to grasp them they seemed to slip further and further away from her. Often she could hold onto only one piece of information. Sometimes it was something she had done with the other person, sometimes it was a name, sometimes it was what family they belonged too...

She had been staring at the girl for a decent amount of time now, trying to place what was familiar about her. It was as if Cassie was supposed to know who she was, but she couldn’t quite recall why that was. She didn’t know where they had met before, she didn’t know why seeing her had slapped recognition into the forefront of her mind, and she didn’t know what it was about her that drew her in. Biting on chapped lips she moves her body, until she standing directly in front of her. Her head cocks to the side slightly as her eyes move up and down the other’s frame. She’s fighting with herself, doing the inner work to try and reveal what part this person played in the mixed up alphabet soup that her brain had become. She wants to smile when she feels something ping to the surface, but she doesn’t, because it isn’t much. It isn’t more than a first name without a last to accompany it. Finally Cassie dares to speak, unaware of how strange she was acting, and if she had been aware she just wouldn’t have cared. She spoke, stating the only thing that she could manage to remember about the other person, 

“Effy. Your name is Effy.”
