The Long Game (Dean&Allie)
Off Campus - After the season one finale, three people walk out of Malone's carrying something they didn't walk in with. Dean DiLaurentis finally caught feelings for Allie Hayes. Allie broke her own rules. And Hunter Davenport became the reason neither of them could pretend it was casual anymore. Post season one. Dual POV. This is what happened in the space between the finale and everything that comes next. (Book) -- Author's Note "I'm weaving elements from the Off Campus books into this fanfiction while adapting them to fit the show's timeline and character dynamics. Think of this as an alternate universe where the show and books converge pulling what works from both while telling a story that's distinctly its own, while waiting for the real season 2. Or my take of what Dean and Allie could look like in S2 . It goes without saying it contains Spoilers"
