Summary
She gives Cerberus her red rubber ball.
Because he’s a monster, but she doesn’t think he means to be.
Because he’s a lonely dog and she is lonely the same way. The kind that doesn’t know how lonely it is until a person shows up and reminds them. The kind that wishes to just be left in loneliness long enough for companionship to be forgotten altogether.
The ball will make him happy. He will destroy it within minutes, it will disappear after he does nothing but be himself.
(She does that sometimes too.)

Summary
Ricky didn’t see Gina coming.
Not when he stumbled into that HSM audition, not in the skatepark. Not in his car on the way home from homecoming and not when he showed up to Shallow Lake, guitar in hand.
Definitely didn’t tonight, not now, walking out of the barn during camp prom.
(ricky tries his hardest to complete his bucket list before his birthday, with varying degrees of success -- a camp prom and opening night fic)

Summary
"What… what is Gina to you, Ricky?" Red's voice was barely above a whisper, his hesitation clear as he stopped in his tracks, chewing on his nails, his eyes finding interest on his shoes. Ricky swallowed thickly, his heart pounding in his chest, confused and distraught by the question more than anything else. Silence grew between them as he struggled to find the right words, the air hanging cold and thick around them. He opened his mouth but no words came out, his foot tapping more intensely against the concrete wall.
"I have a girlfriend," He managed to croak out the words, finally, after minutes of struggle, "I love my girlfriend."
An exploration of Gina & Ricky's relationship, from (mostly) Ricky's perspective.
Starts during the events of season 2 episode 4, and diverges from there.

Summary
The worst part about kissing Ricky Bowen was that now all Gina could think about was doing it again. When the cast and premiere audience filed back into the auditorium, when they played the trailer and first episode, when they were all rushed to the center of the stage to take a cast photo – all she could think was Ricky’s lips, Ricky’s hands, Ricky’s smile, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

Summary
“Happy?”
“More than I’ve ever been,” she says.
“Being rude to the guy you want to be your fake boyfriend isn’t the best choice in the world, David.”
“You’ll say yes no matter what I say to you,” she says, and her words shoot through him, cutting him knives.
She’s right. She could say almost anything, and his answer wouldn’t be no. Because this is Devi. Devi, who makes him laugh. Devi, who makes him feel lighter than air. Devi, who sees him and knows him and hears him better than anyone else, who makes him forget about his problems and makes everything in the world feel understandable and simple and good.
He sighs, and hopes it sounds more annoyed than wistful. “When’s the party?”

Summary
It makes Devi think of inertia. She and Ben have been hurtling through the vacuum of time together, intended for one pre-established destination, and all it took was a little bit of velocity (malibu, she realizes) to alter their entire trajectory, to send them careening onto another path entirely.
A path she doesn’t know how to walk.
or; ben and devi, in the wake of malibu, try to figure out what they are to each other

Summary
She quirks an eyebrow at him. "So are we enemies or friends?"
The air in his lungs stops in his throat, because right now, the way she's looking at him makes him want to push her down against his bed. His pillows are just there , and it'd be so simple, so easy to just kiss her. Malibu dances in his mind, the memory of her pliant mouth, her soft hands, her black waves.
Instead, he coughs. "Enemies, obviously. Always."

Maybe it’s the alcohol or that she’s crap at processing emotions she’s never felt before, but Devi’s suddenly pissed at herself for how badly she wants to stay in Ben’s room and she’s pissed at Ben for not wanting the same thing.

Summary
“Thanks again for the ride, Dr. Vishwakumar,” Ben says as he climbs into the backseat. Then, with considerably less warmth, “Devi.”
She strains against her seatbelt to eye him up and down. “You know this is a walking tour and not a job interview, right?”
“Impressions matter,” he says, and then pointedly eyes the lopsided bun on the top of her head.
“Whatever,” she says, readjusting herself in her seat. “At least no one’s going to mistake me for the Bruin Republicans’ Treasurer.”
“An office I’d serve with dignity and honor. Obviously. I’m very responsible with large amounts of money.”

Summary
“Everyone knows that it takes half the duration of a relationship to get over the implosion of the same. You and Paxton were together for six weeks—”
“It was seven,” Devi corrects, as if it actually matters.
“—so you’re not allowed to mope about this longer than three.”
“I’m allowed to do whatever I want,” she says, kicking out at his shin.
Ben anticipates the move, though, and shifts out of the way, smoothly shaking a candy heart out of the box at the same time. “‘Dream Big’, David,” he reads, holding it up for her to see before popping it into his mouth.
or, Ben sees Devi through the stages of her breakup grief: rage, wallowing, several hard-to-watch months and, finally, acceptance.Bookmarked by leoslighter
