As soon as the door closes, he turns to her and she crashes into him. Wraps her arms around his torso and just hugs him, letting her tears fall. He's leaving. He's really leaving. She knows it's for the best but somehow his leaving New York makes it more final. She always assumed she'd keep hearing from him, hearing the musicals or plays he'd do… that's not going to happen.

She needs to see him. Not actually talk to him or meet with him cause she knows damn well if she does that she won't be able to walk away again. She just needs to see him, make sure he's doing well and just sit with her feelings for a bit. Which, what better place to do that than the Theater? That's how she got the idea. She's going to see Ready Money. Tonight.

Takes place during S2E4 'The Song'. Ivy and Ronnie have an eavesdropper listening in on their conversation.

She tries to press the button to open the doors but nothing happens, she tries the one to close them, tries different floors nothing seems to be responding. The lights surrounding their floors are not on anymore. Oh God no. "We are stuck." She says, turning around to face him. "Great," He replies bitterly, taking his phone out of his leather jacket.

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.

Set years after Bombshell opened.

This takes place during 2x15 'The Transfer'. When Ivy hears about the rumors going around about her, she confronts her past with Derek.

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.

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
