Maze by Tara676

(CURRENTLY REVAMPED!) (The Slices of Life, #1) For years, one thing that had always bothered Serena Wilton is the idea of reconciling with a past friend. Whenever he was around, her eyes rested upon him; whether it was at classes or outside of school. She yearned for those wonderful memories again, but the looming fear just wouldn't let her initiate the conversation. Serena clearly remembered how their paths crossed in that one field trip, and the instant click as they interacted. He was nothing but a sunny friend with such contagious confidence... until that accident. Not only did he turn into someone Serena never recognized, but the relationship they built together, soured and crumbled apart. Even so, perhaps her plans can actually work if she's willing to push that stupid anxiety away and speak a word or two. Piece of cake, right?

Good to You [Eddie Munson x OFC] by thatscalledyes

"I think you'd be good to me, and I'd be so good to you." It was the summer before her first year of college. The summer was an expansion of adventure waiting to happen. Cassie always swore that she was too broken to ever be loved after the emotional rollercoaster that life had taken her on. Despite her troubled past with her ex, Billy Hargrove, she finds herself falling for the rough edged metal head with a soft heart. As Cassie struggles to heal from her past with Billy, Eddie teaches her it's okay to allow someone in through the walls she has built around her. But when Billy tries to maliciously intervene in her new relationship, will she be able to withstand the pressure or crumble under Billy's clutch? Before you read: Thank you for reading! I am a former fan fic writer from the 2010s coming out of retirement solely for Eddie. This story occurs in modern day with some undertones of 80's pop culture. Some details in the story may differ from details in the show. I am aware that some things may not be accurate to the show and that is on purpose. All main characters are 18 or older. There is no Vecna (sorry Jamie) and no Upsidedown. Updates will be on Sundays and Thursdays. I hope you enjoy.
