This is AU. Karen has nothing to do with Broadway and is instead a Grammy winning singer. She runs into the dashingly handsome director of Bombshell at an event she won't be forgetting any time soon.

After the drama of Bombshell and Hit List, Derek decides to leave Broadway and return home. Living in London he falls in love with American actress, Karen Cartwright. They get married, have children and after six years abroad decide to return to the States. This is simply life as Mr. and Mrs. Wills. The only Smash characters are those from Derek's past; Ivy Tom Julia and Eileen.

This takes place immediately after the Season Two finale (The Tony Awards) and will feature the majority of the cast and crew of 'Bombshell' and 'Hit List', with an extra emphasis on Ivy and Derek.

Taking place directly after 2x02: The Fallout, it is a different take on the short breakfast scene between Ivy and Derek after the American Theatre Wing event the previous night.

A revised ending of 2x13 - 'The Producers'. Ivy goes on a late night walk and clears the air with Derek.

After Kyle finally resolved to give up on Jimmy for good, his actions led to his death later that night, leaving no one the chance to say goodbye. This story begins with that moment of final resolve, filling in the missing scenes later that night, a large "what-if", and the aftermath of that change. AU, WHUMP!, and lots of Tom/Kyle shipping and POV.

Derek provides comfort to Ivy, leading to them re-evaluating their relationship together. Fits in after S2 E14, 'The Phenomenon'.

This one-shot takes place at the beginning of 3x12, extending Ivy and Derek's conversation before the opening night of 'Bombshell'.

"Julia, wait." Instinctively, she stops. She shouldn't, should just keep walking and ignore him. She doesn't. He catches up with her in a few seconds and before she can fully understand what is going on, he wraps his arms around her. He gives her the hug she's been wanting, needing, ever since she found Frank sitting on the piano last night.

Michael and Julia meet in college, they fall in love. Except things are never that easy, are they?

This one shot takes place during S2E3: 'The Dramaturg'. Ivy goes to Derek for a favor, and finds so much more in the process.

My version of how Ivy and Derek should have gotten together the night of Bombshells opening night and their life together afterwards.

This one shot fits in the time line of S2E12: Opening Night. Ivy and Derek have a last minute conversation before the curtain rises for the very first time on 'Bombshell'.

Here is a story picking up where Season 2 ended focusing on Julia & Michael.

A different ending for 2x13 (The Producers). A late night visit leads to honesty and explanations.

"I would resist you." He truly believes that, doesn't he? He's truly convinced that if she tried to get through him he wouldn't break any rules. She smirks. Alright. If he's so convinced then she's going to play. She's going to prove him wrong.

For some reason though, she thought that this was the perfect opportunity, she wanted to have fun and Michael was a kind and handsome guy and there would be no harm done in flirting with him a bit, right? Besides, she was genuinely curious to know if she was actually right.

Ivy and Derek find each other once more amidst an untimely event. Takes place between 2x13 and 2x14.

A post-Season 2 continuation

Set years after Bombshell opened.

We experience many new encounters in our day to day live, and Karen and Derek are just about to experience a few of them...

Well after the Tony's, Derek and Karen find that their lives are different. As they are each missing their best friend they make it a priority to rebuild their friendship.

Boston had been a dark chapter in Ivy's life, though more had happened than most would have guessed. She had been alone when she decided to take the pills, but was she going to be alone when she woke up? If she woke up?

When he was young and foolish, things were different. Lines were blurred. In certain moments, Jimmy laughed, eyes crinkling and the stupid haircut that he'd had when they were fifteen falling into his face, and Kyle forgot how to breathe, forgot how to be a best friend and just that. In summary, pining and its consequences

Kyle had been hiding the abuse for over a month, to everyone else Blake was a sweet caring boyfriend but to Kyle he was a nightmare.
