Jess Mariano never met his mother. He grew up with only his dad, Jimmy, travelling all over the country, before finally landing in Venice Beach, CA, where they had been for five years now. This Summer seems much like any other, until one day when a blue-eyed beauty walks into a bookstore on the boardwalk, changing Jess' life forever.

He knows exactly what Rory needs. She needs someone who will be there when she wants it. Someone to scratch an itch. While he's probably always going to be a little in love with her, he knows he can live with that. For once, Jess is absolutely, without any doubt, positive he can give her what she needs.

AU Nathan and Haley. Nathan stumbles upon a list Haley wrote that was never meant to be seen, which results in some drastic changes in their friendship.

Every year Bella waits for the 'Pay Checks' to roll into her sleepy river town and every year Edward's hers, just for the summer. AH, AU, OOC, B/E

Literati.My take on how episode 6x18 should've ended and how things should've continued. She decides to stay. Is getting drunk the answer? Will it make them forget? "Drunk people do stupid things." "So I've been told."

Nathan and Haley are best friends who've known eachother their whole lives and have recently become friends with benefits. But will a new girl who has interest in Nathan force them to admit their true feelings?

The time goes by fast as the words spill across the pages, in a tangled web of want and hurt of two teenagers in a town too small for the epic tale they unfold between them. [FutureLiterati]
