    Summary

    Usually the sight of Sue laughing or enjoying herself would bring an easy smile to Emily’s lips but watching her laugh with Austin, even if it wasn’t her usual full laugh where her eyes wrinkled and she covered her mouth, sent a stone into the pit of her stomach.

    She climbs the stairs to her mother on the second floor and wonders just how long the weight in her stomach will last.

    OR

    It's a modern day Sue and Emily friends to lovers because I'm unoriginal but also completely obsessed with these two.

    Summary

    Blair Waldorf, future Princess of Monaco, is this close to fulfilling her destiny, getting everything she’s ever wanted — and more.

    So why are the images of a certain boy from Brooklyn (a very shirtless one at that), haunting her in her dreams — day and night?

    Summary

    Blair can’t keep taking one step forward and two steps back. Something has to change and it has to be her.

     

    or Blair Waldorf centric post-canon but pre-epilogue Dan/Blair fix-it AU because Blair deserves to be the centre of her own story.

    Summary

    Two-shot and the first chapter is one of Dan’s POV and the next one will be Blair’s POV. It starts off right after the Series Finale, except Dan never reveals he’s Gossip Girl. So Dan is not Gossip Girl and there is not flash forward.

    Summary

    Blair Waldorf doesn’t like being reminded of Dan Humphrey. But that gap-toothed, curly haired man certainly had a knack for being completely unavoidable.

    Firstly, the man was her best friend’s husband.

    Secondly, he was a journalist, so she was bombarded by constant reminders of him.

    That insufferable social climber was everywhere. She couldn’t even check her phone without scrolling past his selfies with Nate Archibald on her Instagram feed. Talk about the ghost of boyfriends past, haunting her ad infinitum.

    In other words, Blair Waldorf doesn’t like being reminded of Dan Humphrey, because it's like being reminded of a life she could have had with him.

    Summary

    Our characters navigate the world of 1880s New York. Or, the 1880s Gilded Age AU that no one asked for.

     

    If you ask Daniel Humphrey – which no one ever does, even though he rather thinks they should – everything started in 1882, the year he was twenty. That was the year when, after spending the previous four years mourning the late Allison Humphrey, his father made the stunning decision to uproot the family from Chicago to New York. Manhattan, to be specific – the Upper East Side, to be even more specific –  landing them smack dab into the very heart of Old New York society (although Dan would call it a viper’s nest before he would call it the heart of anything).

    Summary

    In which Blair Waldorf realizes that she's gotten everything she ever wanted, and that she doesn't want it anymore.

     

    It is scary to build a life – to scratch and claw and fight for a life – and then to think you might not like it. That you might even hate it. Once you build a life around someone, you can’t just walk away from it. You can’t just wake up one day and think that, maybe, just maybe, you might have changed. That you might have grown.

     

    That you might want something different than the things you always wanted.

    Summary

    “I care about Henry. I care about how he does in my class. But more than that, I want him to like it. I want him to find a poem that makes him feel like each line is being etched into the inside of his ribs. Have you felt that, Mrs. Waldorf? Do you know what I mean?”

    “No,” she says tightly. “You sound ridiculous.”

    Humphrey laughs. The sound echoes. It makes her shiver.

    “Yeah, I know,” he says. “But have I at least convinced you to let me try?”

    Summary

    Blair has a marriage, a kid, and a company. All that she's ever wanted.
    But Dan Humphrey is back in town, having just divorced her best friend.

    Dan should be safely out of the picture, but Blair is beginning to suspect he's etched into her life, whether she likes it or not.

    --x--

    Dan and Blair meet after S6 finale and realize they are far from done with each other.

    This is a continuation of the show, all canon elements are present but I have changed the interpretation to fit the story. Dan and Blair endgame. Chuck and jail endgame.
