Summary
One morning, America's sweetheart, Jackie Burkhart wakes up to her perfect life crumbling apart. Her boyfriend is cheating on her and the entire world found out before she did. What's worse is that she runs into his best friend at the store and he offers to keep her company which is odd because they sort of hate each other.
OR
Jackie is a pop star and Hyde is in a rock band. When they start to form an unexpected bond, it scares them both.
(Title inspired by "Songbird" from Fleetwood Mac)

Summary
“You are wasted on him.” He’s speaking out of turn but he knows Kiara won’t mind. Instead, her glossy lips part with a pop.
Her throat bobs delicately and those wide brown eyes seem to beckon him in closer. But he remembers his duty. He remembers his audience and her reputation. He remembers that she could never feel the same. JJ stands his ground with his hands clasped behind his back and watches her face fall.
---
Lady Kiara has been issued a death sentence. That is if you consider a death sentence being betrothed to Prince Rafe.
JJ is the bastard she's assigned to protect her.
(Title inspired by the song Gold Dust Woman)

Summary
He presses his back against the cold wall, feeling like he’s about to die. The panic attacks have gotten worse as well. They’re longer now, more difficult to control.
He doesn’t try to picture Sydney’s face, because if he does, he would see her like the night that she left. Angry, and sad, and disappointed.
Thinking about her doesn’t help anymore. It makes it even worse. And it’s his fucking fault.

Summary
Sydney leaves The Bear to work with Adam Shapiro, and they hit the ground running, quickly being declared "Chicago's Newest Gem."
Unfortunately for them, "no hard feelings" isn't in Carmy's vocabulary and he's not going to let them steal the spotlight without a fight.

Summary
Sydney takes a deep breath, not knowing what she is saying before she practically vomits out her words like…well, like how she actually vomited minutes ago.
“I’ll go back in there, but after that…”
She could say it; that Shapiro offered her a position. A position where she gets to have the first and final say, where, only after knowing her for less than a day in total, he knew just how capable she is, and trusts her. She could tell Carmy that she’s leaving after this shift, for good; doesn’t owe him an explanation…OR: How I would've imagined the Syd v. Carmy fight would've gone in season 3 (Feat. Sydney going absolutely feral, because I don't care if "Yelling isn't her style", hot girls have their limits)

Summary
He goes to the Bahamas, to America, to Norway. To a rainy England and then back to sunny Australia. He sees them, too. Only puts together names and faces due to that one conversation on a beach. John B, Cleo, Sarah, JJ and Kiara.
He walks into the kitchen and says "maman, I see people and I can see where they live. I can speak to them."
Yvonne Heyward, ever the pragmatist, considers this at length. "Are they friendly? Are they nice to you?"
He confirms they are.
"Well," Yvonne says practically. "Maybe you should be friends. Sit down. I've made soup."
