- @ccshipper wrote Nathaniel Will Handle It, a Rebecca/Nathaniel story. Summary: I got to thinking about why Nathaniel allows himself to be drawn into shady deals by Rebecca and then that got me thinking about why he wasn't shocked by anything in her medical files. Where did Nathaniel develop such morally relativistic views? Was it while he worked for his toxic father at the law firm? Also why did The Plimptons acquire Darryl's firm and Rebecca's legal acumen?

Rebecca believed in signs. // A short story about Greg finding out about Rebecca's suicide attempt, and his struggle with whether or not he should go to her. All the "signs" around him seem to be pointing him home. It’s also on Fanfiction.net
