Karen is young, and slightly wild, living in New York city trying to make it as an actress. She is struggling in her career, making a mess of her relationships and trying desperately to free herself from a past that she just can't seem to shake. Throw in Derek Wills, a highly coverted, rather obnoxious, director seeking a project to boost his career and get him out of a rut. OOC

Story takes place after Derek's confession. Can Derek convince Karen to give him a chance? NO LONGER CONTINUING. PLEASE SEE AUTHOR'S NOTE

Kyle and Jimmy move in across the hall from Ana and Karen. (Or the one where I write all the AU drabble prompts into one story.)

What if Jimmy had followed Kyle? Following the story if Jimmy was hit by the car, savingKyle, but didn't die. He goes to hospital but since he doesn't have a social security number or insurance, Kyle tells the hospital Jimmy is him, so the hospital tells friends that Kyle has been injured. I'd like to hope the story is better than this awful description so please read!

As Ivy's due date nears, will it be fourth time lucky?

A pregnant Ivy Lynn's last night on Bombshell and the behaviour of two of the key men in her life post-show.

College AU. Karen and Ana are performing arts majors who meet Kyle in a horrendous required English class. Through Kyle they meet his roommate, Jimmy- a part time student/ part time bartender and the four quickly become good friends. Karaoke and a bar napkin will change everything.

Another man was in a car accident the same night as Kyle and the hospital accidently switched their records. Kyle is still unconscious so the mistake isn't found until his parents arrive to identify the body. Until then, everyone thinks Kyle is dead. Canon through 214, then AU. What might have been for Tom x Kyle.

Post 2x17. A look of what happened years ahead of when the show ended. Julia and Michael take the kids on a trip, in hopes of getting Artie's mind off the fact his mother is getting married again, until they find out he has other plans. Sorry about sucky summary, story is better!

My take of some canon and non-canon things about Smash season 1.

Ivy loses her role as Marilyn Monroe in Bombshell and has to face the reality that if she isn't Marilyn Monroe, then who is she?

Kyle wasn't killed by a car but he is hurt badly. Tom is worried and takes it upon himself to help him.

Tom's over protectiveness leads to a whole lot of confusion. Derek/Ivy

Season 2 of Smash as told by Karen and Jimmy. The story follows the show to start, but in later chapters deviates significantly. (Less character assassination of Jimmy for the sake of drama- more continuing the character development they backpedaled on. Don't get me wrong- he's still not perfect- but many writing choices in the last third of the season irritated me.)

What if Julia never showed for the Houston-Levitt night? A last, heartbroken solo from Tom ends the night ensuring him the director votes, but does he even want it anymore, having lost so many friendships in the past year? And when he disappears, what will those responsible do to find Tom and make things right? No relationships, just a bit of Tom/Derek friendship musings.

What happens after the Tony's. #Smash #NBC

An AU in which Kyle decides to trust his gut feeling long enough to reconsider confronting Jimmy in the midst of a drug-fuelled rage. He asks for another opinion, gets some superior advice and waits until morning. Therefore, he never gets hit by a car. Kyle lives. Tom x Kyle

Karen has to make some choices. Starts after 2x06. First fanfic so please be kind. Summary probably sucks but it is my first one.

What if Tom had decided not to rehire Ellis after firing him the first time? What if he'd decided to advertise for a new assistant and Kyle Bishop had applied? This AU is set shortly after Jimmy escapes from his brother's clutches and features Kyle and Jimmy friendship, followed by Tom and Kyle meeting for the first time at the job interview. TomxKyle romance.

AU: After her return from Boston, Karen's parents helped her pay the rent on a townhouse in New York. One morning, she wakes up and hears her doorbell ring. She opens the door but doesn't see anybody there's just as she is about to close the door, she hears a cry and notices a baby in a car seat upon finding this she calls the one person who could deal with the drama: Derek Wills

Set 6 months after Season 2 finishes. Is Jimmy still in prison? Is Derek in love with Karen or Ivy? Is Ivy keeping the baby? Is HitList & Bombshell still on Broadway? What happens when due to an unexpected accident someone from the past returns? What happens when a secret from someone's past is found out? Involves Smash characters from season 1 and 2 and a few new ones.

Derek is working with Karen again after he moved to England with Ivy and their child three years ago without so much as a goodbye. Now he's back will Karen forgive him? Can Ivy deal with them working together again? Will unresolved feelings resurface? You know what they say, whatever happens, the show must go on.

Whilst getting ready for the TONYs, Tom find something on his phone that helps him come to terms with the death of Kyle.

Takes place 6 months after Jimmy turned himself in. Takes place when he is released from jail. One shot may add more later. Karen/Jimmy

Ivy is pregnant and Derek is directing his first feature film with Karen starring as the leading lady. Derek/Ivy *Read author's note inside!*
