    Summary

    Maddy and Rue have always been what Rue would call ‘adjacent friends’. They run in the same circles, but that’s all it’s ever been.

    When Maddy asks Rue to go to a party with her, it blossoms a friendship neither of them expects. As they grow closer, things also become more complicated as they both deal with past relationships, drugs and more. They soon only find peace in each other. Could it be more than a new, deep friendship?

     

    *There’s not enough Maddy/Rue! My babies deserve more than season 3 can ever give them! This is what plays in my mind after watching their edits on tiktoks, enjoy :)*

    Summary

    “i was scared,” she swallowed, was she drunk?

    “are you scared now?” maddy was wearing a different perfume, muskier and pomegranate that blended with her own cologne nicely.

    rue looked at her, maddy watched her, “no,”

    [or, in the dead of night, rue and maddy would slip out from under the guise of everyone and everything else and find each other.]

    Summary

    Leah gave a short laugh, but instead of standing, she looked at Fatin, trying her hardest to reframe her. To shove this image between all the other ones she had stored away of her. None of it made sense.

    ‘I have one more thing.’ she said, lips pursed in thought.

    ‘One more what?’ The crease deepened on Fatin’s forehead.

    ‘One more thing I hate about you.’ Leah clarified.

    ‘Fine, spill.’ her scoff came out uncharacteristically soft.

    ‘You prove me wrong all the time.’ Leah held her gaze. ‘And I hate being wrong.’

    The smile that lit up Fatin’s face made Leah feel just a tiny bit okay with having a panic attack in the freezing backyard of a frat house.

    OR

    Leah had always thought Fatin was a shallow, popular girl who didn't give a fuck about anyone but still got everything they wanted.
    Fatin had always thought Leah was a smart, broody introvert who hated anyone who had fun.

    When they drift into the same group of friends at university, it's hate at first sight.
    Until neither of them are sure where their assumptions had ever come from.

    Summary

    Madeleine Perez doesn’t need a bodyguard.

    She’s been navigating her own life since before anyone knew her name — the rooms, the cameras, the specific weight of being watched everywhere she goes. She knows how to handle attention. She’s built a career on understanding it, managing it, using it. Whatever situation her team thinks requires a solution, she is more than capable of being the solution herself.

    Rue Bennett is not interested in Maddy’s opinion on this.

    She shows up at eight-fifteen on a Tuesday, drinks neither of Maddy’s coffees, says less than anyone Maddy has ever met in a professional context, and notices absolutely everything. She’s been doing this job for seven years. She has a ground rule. It’s the same one every time: don’t make my job harder than it needs to be.

    Maddy immediately makes it harder.

    At Close Range is a story about a celebrity who is used to being the most observed person in every room and the bodyguard who changes what being observed means — told in the specific, slow, maddening space between professional and something else entirely.

    Summary

    They weren’t supposed to matter to each other.

    Just two girls passing through the same rooms, the same years—never quite close enough to be called anything real.

    Until somehow, they were.

    New York blurred everything into something softer. Shared spaces, shared silence, the kind of closeness that doesn’t ask questions. It felt easy—like something that didn’t need to be named to be understood.

    Like something that would last.

    But there are things that don’t stay in the past, no matter how far you run.
    And there are moments that don’t feel like endings—until you realize they were.

    Years later, Rue writes about love like it survives anything.
    Like it always finds its way back.

    And maybe, in her stories, it does.

    Just not in the way she remembers.
