Starting my "If Mav gets a harem of aviators then Carole gets a harem of beautiful women" agenda with a college au
Modern AU
Carole went to a Catholic school in Texas
She goes to uni in California to study literature and her roommate is one Charlotte Blackwood
Charlie's doing a major in Physics and a minor in Political Science and is one of those students who is always put together, even for the earliest lectures
She has a faculty job, maybe organising events or something
Carole meets Goose, called that for his laugh, through Charlie because he's also studying physics, they start dating
Charlie starts dating Pete, studying Engineering
Ron gets brought in because he's a childhood friend of Goose, Tom is brought in through Carole's book club
Pete starts falling for Tom, Goose falls for Pete, and Carole falls for Charlie
Goose and Carole break up and go for their respective crushes
Pete, now dating Goose and openly having a crush on Tom too, they hook up with aromantic Ron sometimes too, also starts dating Penny
Carole and Charlie give it a go, they both also find one Penelope Benjamin attractive and start to organise their dates to be at the bar
But Pete breaks her heart and Carole's terrified that Penny, not a student, will just go home without anything there to hold her
Charlie calms her down, they go to Penny together and after some talking, they arrange a date, maybe after some healing time, and the crew is almost all together
Pete's break up with Penny awakens him to confess his feelings to Tom
Charlie wears lacey lingerie sets every day and Carole and Penny love it
She also loves to leave red lipstick marks on them both
Sarah visits, either she's at another uni or is working somewhere else, she's an ace lesbian (and Tom's sister) and loves having non-sexual flings with the girls when she's in town
They all gets apartments together, apart from Ron, he enjoys sex and general hang outs with the boys but makes sure there is a boundary for what he's comfortable with
Carole goes on to do a masters and becomes a librarian, Penny stays on at the bar, Charlie gets some government job, Goose does some teacher training and becomes a physics teacher and I'm not sure what the others do but that's all I really have
