It's been two and a half years since Brooke broke up with Lucas in high school, but then one night in college they meet again. A long journey begins and Brooke's old saying is put to the test. This is an alternate s5 fic, focusing on BL.

He's the brooding a** who can't keep his pants on. She's the notorious party girl every guy dreams about. And there's his raven-haired brother who has that annoying habit of undressing her with his blue eyes...life at Duke University is complicated.

Future BL family fic. Peyton died giving birth, leaving Lucas to follow in his mother's footsteps and raise a child on his own. Only he isn't alone. Brooke, along with her daughter, are there every step of the way. The way OTH SHOULD have happened, IMO

There are no happy endings, only twisted, tangled webs that wrap around hearts and squeeze until they burst. NBL-triangle
