Summary
"I know what I am," Belly says.
"Do you?" Conrad's so close now she can see the exact moment his eyes shift again, green bleeding into gold, storm-cloud and starving in the middle. "Then show me."
( some places, the veil is thin. Cousins, Massachusetts is practically tissue paper. )

Rekindling Christmas by prettysailorsoldier

Summary
One year after a devastating broken engagement, Belly seems to have landed on her feet: five hundred thousand Instagram followers, a book deal in the works, and a doting—if mysterious—boyfriend. Two weeks before Christmas, however, her prospective publisher throws a wrench in her perfectly crafted life: they want to meet her camera-shy boyfriend before putting pen to paper...and her camera-shy boyfriend doesn't exist.
Enter Conrad Fisher: her forever what-if and the real-life inspiration for her fictional boyfriend, back in Boston for the holidays for the first time since literally running out of Belly's life six years earlier.
What starts as a simple arrangement snowballs into a tangled web of old wounds and even older feelings as the counterfeit couple navigates the holiday season, but who are they really deceiving?

Summary
Five years. Letters lost in time.
She thought he’d forgotten her.
He thought the silence meant goodbye.But hope has a quiet way of staying—tucked inside the waiting.
Some love stories don’t end. They just find their way back.
˚⋆𓇼˚⊹ 𖦹 ⁺｡°
Or: Belly never received the letters Conrad wrote while she was in Paris. Now, years later, they find each other again in New York City, away from the others—and it may be the beginning, or the continuation, of what was always meant to be.

Summary
As if on cue, his laughs ricochet all over the suddenly narrow walls of the living room. Her head turns like a broken elastic band, whiplash. It is ironic that he would reprimand her for it, you can risk hyperextending your neck, Belly. And she should know better, but it would appear that her brain has been trained or rewired to respond to his voice, like an ultrasound whistle audible only to her.
Like a command.
(or: Conrad gets randomly selected to do his residency at Mass General and Belly is totally fine because there are no lingering feelings.)

Summary
Perhaps it is this lack of touchstones, perhaps it is the always-liminal quality of the damp, gray time between golden leaves and snow, perhaps it is the two glasses of red wine on a mostly empty stomach or the way the green glow of the signal light catches in Benito’s dark eyes for a moment as he walks her home from the bar, but when he leans in to kiss her in front of her apartment building after their third proper date, Belly thinks about Conrad.
She has thought about him before, of course, but in the way people say to focus on something else when someone is facing a fear of heights: an unrelenting, all-encompassing devotion to not thinking about it that you cannot falter in for even a moment—or you will look down and be hopelessly lost.
