    Summary

    "Face it, García. You're doomed to be handsome, famous, and as smooth as sandpaper."

    "Fuck you, McCready. I could pick up any girl at this bar."

    "Alright, then. Do it. Pick me up."


    Jess McCready has stood off against seven older brothers, wild moose, and Charm School, but a bet with Lupe might actually be the thing that kills her.

    Summary

    The problem is, Lupe was pitched this idea, agreed to it, and bought a train ticket here, and she still doesn’t know what she’s goddamn doing here.

    “Smell that?” Jess asks from beside her. “That’s the smell of fish guts and a cold beer at the end of the night.” She pokes her jaw out and shakes her head, lost in reverie. “Smells like home.”

    Jess pushes off the railing and begins the walk down the steep, cobbled road. “You were fucking landlocked,” Lupe calls after her.

    -----

    Jess and Lupe decide to head south after the season ends to fulfill Jess' number one dream after baseball: crewing a shrimp boat. Which means a lot of alone time together... Hope that doesn't awaken anything in them...

    Summary

    Jess’ eyes flash between the train ticket and Lupe’s face. Lu is smirking and her cheeks are tinged red.

    "Are you fucking with me, Garcia?" Is the first thing that comes out of Jess’ mouth once the initial shock has passed.

    "Y’know, I always thought Saskatchewan would be nice in fall. No better time to cross it off my bucket list, right?"

    *

    They're teammates, friends, brothers, lovers. Lupe travels back to Moose Jaw with Jess to work on her family's farm.

    Summary

    She and Jess are friends. No matter what. Even when the evidence seems pretty damn compelling, it doesn’t mean anything. They’re friends.
     
    But she’s never had a friend like Jess.

    Five times Lupe tries to convince herself they're still just friends, and one time they definitely cross the line. And then a 100k epilogue.

    (Jess and Lupe inventing friends with benefits? It's likely.)
