    Summary

    Conrad has had various scars across his body for as long as Belly has known him.  Using each line, every ridge as a metric system, she can measure the events of his life by his scars. She knows he was six years old when he earned the small dot on the front of his right shin from running into a rock along the beach; nine years old when he got a thin, inch long zigzag on his left forearm while hiking with his Boy Scout troop in the Spring. She’s read the story of his life through the marks on his body with her fingers, her lips, her tongue, to the point where she can map him with her eyes closed.

     

    Or: Belly Conklin is 25 years old when she realizes she might have a scar kink.

    Jealous Belly is my fav

    Summary

    The first thing Belly notices is the white coat. A white coat means a doctor, and if a doctor is coming to look at her, her knee must be worse off than she’d realized.

    And then her gaze lands on the doctor’s face.  A face she hasn’t seen in almost 10 years.  A face she used to know better than she knew anyone else’s. 

     

    Or: The tennis AU where Belly is a professional tennis player, Conrad is a sports medicine doctor and her ex-boyfriend, and they reunite.

    Summary

    Belly thought going to the same college as her high school boyfriend would be a dream come true, only to quickly realize that sometimes the best thing you can do is choose yourself. After deciding to transfer from her East Coast college to Stanford, she's quickly wrapped up in the mysterious and quiet but kind 1st year med student that she can't stop running into or thinking of.

    What happens when you begin to question whether your first love was ever truly love at all?

    OR

    AU fic in which Belly never grew up going to Cousins, so she knows nothing of the Fishers. In every infinite universe, every version of Belly chooses Conrad.

    One of the best AUs. I love the characterisations of Conrad and Belly in this one.

    Summary

    Belly never chased Conrad after kicking him out of her apartment in Paris. 13 years later, she's forced to confront the fallout of her choices when she meets his family.

    A tale of what happens when the person you've hurt makes choices that hurt you right back. Can you come back from that?

    Inspired by the lyrics of "God Knows I Tried" by Lana Del Rey

    All typos and grammatical errors are my own :)

    One of the saddest BellyConrad fics. Read at your own risk. Loved it. One of the best.

    Summary

    An incomplete list of things roommates Belly and Conrad will say just this once to:

    1.) Watching TV together when they can’t sleep. (Oops, it becomes a routine rather quickly.)

    2.) Sharing a bed. (A pipe burst in their apartment and they have to get a hotel room, what are they supposed to do?)

    3.) Having sex with each other. (Sexual tension is taut between them, and they’re getting it out of their system. But then they’re doing it again. And again, and then one last time, for real . . . Fifth time’s the charm, surely.)

    What’s next, falling in love? Yeah, right.
