What Comes Next

Getting drinks at her hotel bar had seemed like a good idea. It felt like an in-between, not fully Chicago and not fully anywhere else. Just here, like them- suspended somewhere between their past and their new lives, trying to figure out what comes next.

A post-season 13 crossover story.

Happy monthiversary from the crossover, Upstead people! It's probably the day after for most of you, but it's still before midnight where I'm at so I'm running with it. I do respect that many, many post-crossover stories agree that they're ending up in bed- any bed- together after getting those drinks. It's fanfiction law. Enjoy!

UPSTEAD FOREVER 🥹❤️

[go-to-two]

Need You Now (and Then) - Chapter 4

Of all the doors Hailey could be knocking on right now, how the hell did she end up here?

She could be anywhere. She could do anything. Yet every time she closes her eyes at night, she just sees him. Soft green eyes, screaming for help.

One thing about me is I'm going to find a way to write about baseball. Sorry. But also not. Another thing about me is that I don't have a deep understanding about how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy works, and it's not something I wanted to fabricate. I certainly mention therapy in this story and touch on it a bit, but I don't spend a ton of time in the offices. It's more something that is always happening in the background of these seven chapters. Today's chapter is very Jay. So much so that I'm trying to add in some last minute Hailey to the next chapter because I feel like I lost track of my girl a bit. It's a process. For now, enjoy!

i touched you for a fortnight - chapter 16

Summary - Her agent had suggested that spending two weeks at an artists retreat in the Rocky Mountains might be just what she needed to spark the inspiration for her next book.

Hailey wasn’t keen but she had a private cabin so what was the difference in sequestering herself away there than at home.

But when she checked in she was told there was an issue and her private cabin wasn’t so private anymore. She had a roommate.

It was going to be a long two weeks. Or was it?
