Summary
Joel takes a few steps back before he offers his hand. Ellie cocks her brow, skeptical, but he doubles down, wiggling his fingers in enticement. “C’mon girl. Humor me. I ain’t gettin’ any younger.”
Their fallout is pretty standard knowledge in Jackson and Ellie likes being gossip fodder just about as much as he does. But in the end, she gives in with a sigh and takes his hand, letting him lead her out to the dance floor. “Fine. But only because I haven’t earned my assisting the elderly badge.”
“Baby,” He chuffs out a laugh, “They’d kick you out the Girl Scouts before you could say Thin Mints.”
or;
In another universe, Ellie tries to mend her fallout with Joel by giving him a choice: take her to the rumored firefly hospital in Alaska, or stay behind and keep her girl safe.

Summary
Much like the other day, Ellie ends up sitting on the porch steps. Joel’s back even quicker this time. Almost like he’d left his first aid supplies sitting out and ready to attend as needed.
More cleaning, this one hurts less. More gel liquid, this time rubbed in a bit better. And more bandaids, these ones something other than plain, boring beige. Not princesses either, usually the first thing adults reached for when they mixed the two factors of Little Girl and Injured together.
Nope. This guy has dinosaur bandaids.
“Dude, I fucking love dinos!”
Joel’s head swivels up, eyes going from her carefully patched up elbow to meet Ellie’s gaze. She wants to ask him how he knew. She wants to ask to see the rest of the designs in the box. She wants to tell him all of the other things she loves.
“S’pose I picked right then,” he says, almost like he’d been standing in the aisle, contemplating what exactly that might be.
“You did,” is how Ellie answers him, not bothering with a thank you.
//
or: Ellie is Joel's next door neighbor who's hellbent on learning to ride a bike to get where she needs to go. Little does she know that place is right across the street.

I'm raw now. My soul has left my body. I relate to Ellie so much. What a good fucking story.

Summary
Jimin and Jungkook have been campus rivals for years. Jimin, the polished, independent and principled president of the omega sorority Chi Omega, and Jungkook, the cocky and charming Alpha Sigma Phi leader known for breaking hearts. Their clashes are legendary, from recruitment battles to passive-aggressive party banter, but when a charity collaboration forces them to work together, Jimin realizes that maybe, just maybe, his biggest rival might be the one person who truly sees him.
