    Summary

    'In Arcadia Bay, even love has consequences- and hers was Nathan Prescott'

    Madeleine Palmer never really believed the rumours about Nathan Prescott. Behind the anger and the infamous Prescott name, she found a boy drowning in storms of his own making. Their connection begins in the quiet moments at Blackwell Academy- fragile and fleeting- because in Arcadia Bay, love was never meant to last.

    Summary

    What if Max returned to Arcadia Bay before Nathan ever met Mr. Jefferson—when Rachel Amber was still alive?

    What if there was no storm or no powers—just a family with too much power, a teacher with a craving for innocence, and a girl spun into the orbit of the elusive Rachel Amber and the chaotic Nathan Prescott?

    Post-BtS, Pre-LiS1.

    Summary

    Chloe Price has made more mistakes than she can count—and breaking up with Max Caulfield is the one that cuts deepest. After the breakup, anger and pride keep her from reaching out, but beneath everything, Chloe can’t escape the truth: she still loves Max, and she still wants a second chance.

    This story follows Chloe at her most vulnerable—facing the wreckage of her choices, questioning the walls she’s built, and trying to become someone worthy of the girl she pushed away. It’s not about erasing her flaws, but about fighting through them, piece by piece, in the hope that Max might see she hasn’t given up.

    A prequel to Double Exposure, this is Chloe’s journey of redemption, resilience, and the messy, stubborn kind of love that refuses to die.

    I wanted to write a story like this for a long time, to try to redeem Chloe's character after what we saw in DE. I hope you will like it.

    Summary

    "Hey, Chloe?" I looked at her. God, how she's looking at me right now. I can almost imagine her blue ocean eyes staring at me.

    "Yeah?"

    "Are you.. are you happy with where.. you are right now?" I asked nervously.

    "Uh, what?" Chloe is confused.

    We are now headed towards the gate of the cemetery.

    "If it's ever real.. The heavens, the clouds, the garden.. Are you.. happy?"

    Summary

    One boy pushes her away.
    One boy holds her like she belongs.
    Both of them are Nathan Prescott.

    Both Nathans are carrying something that could break them, though they show it in different ways—anger in one world, tenderness edged with fear in the other. Max doesn’t know why she slips between them, only that each shift feels like the universe pushing her closer to the truth.

    Summary

    At eighteen, Max has never been kissed, even though there are a lot of people she wouldn't mind kissing - more or less every girl in her dorm at Blackwell, in fact. Getting the chance to do so would require some kind of magic spell or something, though, probably. And what are the odds of that?

    Summary

    Max isn’t your typical fifteen-year-old.

    She’s an android—engineered in secret by her grieving scientist parents after the death of their real daughter. But Max doesn’t know that. She believes she’s just… different.

    Smarter. Stronger. Faster. And lonelier.

    Navigating high school is brutal. Max struggles to connect, her uncanny instincts and awkwardness making her a target—until Chloe Price, the school’s golden girl, steps in. Their friendship begins as a joke, the result of a lost bet. But what starts as obligation slowly deepens into something real.

    For Chloe, that growing bond is terrifying. Especially once she discovers Max isn’t human.

    When Max learns the truth—about her origins, about Chloe’s lie—she’s forced to confront everything she thought she knew. Is she just a machine built to mimic love and pain? Or can she choose who she becomes?

    As betrayal and identity collide, Max must decide: will she shut down emotionally, or fight to protect the fragile humanity she’s begun to claim?

    Summary

    Sometimes I have ideas for little narrative moments that don't really fit in the actual comics anywhere. They are canon events to the Squeaky AU I’m cooking, but don't have a solid position on the Timeline, nor are they really influential on the overall storyline.

    All of those little moments will be put here.
