Kelly sits Ryan in front of Big Brother 8. Gushing over a certain real showmance ensues.

You can read this without having ever seen BB8, but you probably won't catch everything, though the underlying theme is pretty obvious. I realize this doesn't match up with real time, since by the time BB8 aired, Ryan had already moved to NYC and broke up with Kelly, but work with me here. Prompt was "the new Eric and Jessica."

Pam needs someone to save her. Help is just a phone call away. Takes place during Back From Vacation.

It had always amused me that apparently the DM receptionists talk to each other about gossip (courtesy of Branch Wars) and I wanted to explore that. Also, apparently Rolando is flaming gay in my head, so... there's that.

With every choice we don't make, we create a universe...

WARNING: This is like, angst, to the tenth power, but I can promise a happy ending, if not exactly the one you might have in mind...
