AU where Jeff and Annie are the same age and meet as children, and grow up together. Other Community characters will appear throughout the story.

The study group is trapped in Borchert's lab within the depths of Greendale with little hope to stop the sale of the college to Subway. Or can Jeff step up and save the day? And how will he deal with the consequences of his actions? (Jeff x Annie) #sixchaptersandanepilogue *picks up in the middle of 5x13 and continues from there* *rated T for language; rated M later on for lemon*

Jeff Winger learned at a very early age that if he talked long enough, not only could he make anything right or wrong, but he could also protect the people he loved the most. Spoilers for 5x11 (GI Jeff), 1x08 (Home Economics), 2x21 (Paradigms of Human Memory) and 3x09 (Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism). Angsty! But with some eventually J/A shippiness at the end (promise!)
