    Summary

    "You did WHAT?!"

    Belly closed her eyes, feeling the humiliation wash over her again. "I sent Conrad a love letter on the back of his anniversary invitation."

    "On purpose?" Taylor's voice still hadn't quite gone down in pitch.

    "No, of course it wasn't on purpose," she snapped.

    "Okay. Good," Taylor said slowly. "Otherwise I would've thought you'd lost your mind."

    "That's the thing," Belly sighed. "I think I am."

    Or: in the lead-up to hers and Jeremiah's ten-year wedding anniversary, Belly accidentally sends a love letter to Conrad. It's the final nail in the coffin of a marriage that's been dead for quite some time.

    Summary

    The 3rd installment in the 'Sparks Universe' - I saw Sparks (Part 1) and Sparks Fly (Part 2)

    AU/ Conrad and Belly got together and stayed together at the end of Season 1. Now, they have to navigate their journey of self-discovery, as individuals but also as a couple.

    The timeline of this fic covers Belly's last couple of years in high school, and then all throughout her and Conrad's college years (..and beyond?)
    Heavy on the smut and fluff in this one!

    Includes some canon scenes from S3: surf accident, Paris (you know the scene)

    Summary

    Belly bit her lip, then whispered, “It’s just the way you look at me sometimes.”

    Conrad leaned closer. “How do I look at you?”

    Belly dipped her head low. “Like you’re conflicted,” she said. She looked directly at him. “You get storm clouds in your eyes.”

    Summary

    “Belly, you don’t know the effect you have on people.”
    “Effect on people? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    “Yeah…” Conrad says, his eyes as soft as his voice, “...you do.” He meets my gaze, and I hold his. The air around us seems to disappear and I find myself taking a deeper breath, willing the air to fill my lungs and calm my heart, which was threatening to leap out of my chest.

    --

    OR, a partial rewrite of Season 1, inspired by Coldplay's 'Sparks' - what if Belly and Conrad had kissed the night of the 4th of July? What if there wasn't so much miscommunication between them?

    From both Belly and Conrad's POV, and will be mostly canon-ish.
