    Summary

    “If I had told her a year ago, a month ago, even a week ago, would things be different now?” -Book Conrad
    What if Conrad had hopped on the first flight when he found out about Steven’s accident? What if they were back in each other’s orbit much sooner than expected and what if Conrad found out about Jeremiah cheating earlier? In the book. Conrad finds himself wishing he had told her how he felt earlier. What if he had?

    AU with canon elements. Follows the show instead of the book timeline. Narrated in 3rd person, WIP, likely updated weekly because a girl has a job unfortunately. Eventually will earn it's rating but all good things take time!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Really sweet, measured version of B&C’s story, with natural opportunities for them to acknowledge their connection before figuring it all out. Enjoyed this! Belly responds more authentically to Jeremiah’s infidelity, doesn’t automatically agree to move forward with him, much less marry him. Conrad mor3 expressive—and sensual!

    Summary

    after a breathless love confession on a speeding train, belly and conrad tumble into Brussels with nothing but stolen moments and wild hope. Paris waits, med school calls, and an ocean stretches between what they feel and the lives they’ve built.

    flashbacks and flashforwards trace their grief and laughter, old wounds and new promises. reality isn’t a fairytale, long distance is hard, love is harder.

    but the tide, the stars, and the way his voice wraps around "isabel" in the dark always lead them back to each other.

    my version of what happens next: the awkward logistics, the hard conversations, the star-drenched nights that get freaky, and the quiet mornings that feel like forever.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Very sweet B-C story that takes them from Paris to Cali and back to Cousins via Philly. Great relationship scenarios; real affection from all central characters: B&C, Taylor, Steven, Laurel, Jeremiah and Denise. Lots of love as everyone matures.

    Summary

    After returning from Paris, Belly finally moves into Conrad’s quiet California apartment—where mornings feel slower, nights feel warmer, and loving each other no longer hurts.
    Now, for the first time, they get to just be: cooking together, studying together, fighting over blankets and grocery lists, learning how to build a life without running from it.
    With Jeremiah finding his own peace and becoming part of their story again, Belly and Conrad discover that love can grow gently, steadily, and without fear.
    From moving in, to getting married, to the moment they realize they’re no longer just two but growing into a family, this is their softest season yet.

    This story is as described: settles into B&C’s life once the choice to be together has been made. Lovely.

    Summary

    After years of almosts, misunderstandings, and missed chances, Belly makes one impossible choice — she runs after the love she was always too afraid to keep. With no luggage and no plan, she boards a moving train and chooses Conrad, not just for the moment, but for every version of their future. Now, between conferences, quiet hotel rooms, and the ghosts of who they used to be, they have to learn how to love each other without running away.

    Sweet story of B&C: beginning post-train ride, time together in Paris, then CA and PA once Belly chooses to return home to Conrad. Sweet intimacy. Laurel loving Conrad with Belly; John, too.

    Summary

    "Belly, look, in all seriousness," he says, catching his breath but still grinning, "you can't hire an escort. I can’t believe Agnes actually suggested that."

    My eyes widen. "Oh my god, Conrad, no! She wasn't suggesting I hire an escort. She was suggesting..."

    The words die in my throat. I trail off, looking at him—really looking at him—and realise there is no version of reality where I can comfortably say, 'She was suggesting you pretend to be my fake boyfriend so I can trick my ex into thinking I'm dating a brilliant, brooding Stanford doctor.'

    "What?" Conrad asks, his smile softening into something more curious, more focused.

    "What'd I miss?" Agnes’s voice cuts through the air as she slides back into the booth, drink in hand, sounding way too cheerful for someone who just abandoned her post. She looks between us, her eyebrows practically reaching her hairline when she sees how close we’re sitting.

    ---

    Or, an AU fic loosely based on The Wedding Date, featuring a scheming Agnes and a Conrad who's secretly been harbouring a crush on (a completely oblivious) Belly for the past six months.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of my favorites. AU-canon adjacent perspective on Belly, Conrad and Agnes. Beautifully written intimacy scenes between B&C; Palo Alto, Paris and closing the romance in Cousins. Paris Wedding of Gemma and Max; Bad News Benito. Finito.
