DISCLAIMER: I sadly do not own the majority of the characters I intend to write about in this story. I have merely borrowed them to facilitate the story I wish to tell and also to feed my habit of playing with things that don't belong to me!!
Also, the events of Mamma Mia and HWGA have not happened, and neither have the majority of It's Complicated.

Mia Collins just wanted to get through her senior year of high school with as minimal awkward situations as possible. However, that's kind of hard to do when you have a narcissistic arch-nemesis who's hell-bent on ruining your life. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he seemed to take an immediate dislike. After all, it only took a measly few hours of knowing her for him to kick a soccer ball right at her unsuspecting 11-year-old face.

Even though I'm a mess and I still don't think I'm good enough for him, I want to date him.

He was a content 24 year old, rooming with his fraternal twin brother Jesse. They literally could not be more different.

| Happy Lowman x OC - COMPLETED | Madison Pinkman was the result of a short affair between Gemma Teller and Adam Pinkman, who at the time was separated from his family who lived in Albuquerque to work in Charming. Only when he had to go back did he end the affair. Nine months later, Gemma Teller stood in front of his door and surprised him with his newborn daughter and left her with him, whom he then had raised with his wife Diane. To the chagrin of both of them, Madison didn't turn out as hoped but took her half-brother Jesse, who was only two years older, as a role model. When something happened that turned Madison's life upside down and left her with sheer paranoia, she left Albuquerque and drove to Charming to look for the person who had left her with her father twenty five years ago. Whether Gemma would send her away or not didn't matter at first, what Madison needed was shelter and she didn't know anyone outside of her hometown except her birth mother. Would she finally find her place in a town with such a charming name? Maybe even a real home? Or would her little secret, which soon threatened to come out, ruin everything? And just when everything seemed to be falling apart again, she found comfort in someone who wasn't even shocked by her secret. But what could possibly shock someone with the nickname Tacoma Killer? ⸺ You don't have to know Breaking Bad to read this story. The characters I'm using from BrBa will be described as they're in the show and won't be mentioned too often except for one character.Complete
