    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to work. It was just a stupid theatre tradition — a séance at the grave of some thespian who died seventy years ago. She didn’t even believe in ghosts. But for some reason when Cynthia reaches out, she finds someone reaching back.

    Title comes from the song “Back to You” by Twin Forks.

    Summary

    Lydia first goes to A Dash of Cynnamon out of necessity, nothing more. And maybe she finds the barista cute, and the coffee delicious, and the entire situation intriguing, but she has a show to focus on and she's probably never going to go back there ever again so she might as well just forget all about it. Right?

    (It's a Lynthia coffee shop AU)

    Summary

    Thanks to an old jukebox and a thunderstorm, Cynthia and Lydia are transported 70 years into the future.

But when reality starts to crumble around them, decisions have to be made about where, or rather when, they belong.

    Summary

    Lydia had made many choices in her life, some good, some bad. Some really good and some really bad.

    Right now her current choice was fine. Really it was fine. Her girlfriend was fine. Everything was fine.

    Boring but fine.

    She hated that she found Avery so boring but she was. She was a very nice, kind, loving woman.

    She remembered all of Lydia’s favorite things like her favorite flowers or candy. She would even randomly bring her both after a rehearsal.

    But Lydia missed the passion she had once felt, the passion she ended after a momentary lapse of her sanity.

    Summary

    Cynthia lifted the bottle to her lips, the coolness of it bringing her back to reality. She blinked, gulping down a sip or two and pulled the bottle away with a pop. "I think I'm dying."

    "What?" Gordon asked, an involuntary laugh bubbling up from his chest.

    "I'm serious!" At the tone, and sincerity in her eyes Gordon quieted down, nodding at her to continue. Cynthia groaned, her head falling back into the couch. "It's just -- I have this friend that I think about sometimes and then my chest gets all congested and my heart pounds and I feel feverish, and it only happens when I'm with them or thinking about them! I'm dying, Dad!"

    Summary

    “I don’t know.” She admitted. “This is completely new territory. I never imagined I’d be in a position where I get to meet my partner's parents and now I am and… I’m nervous.” She hated the way the words felt in her mouth.

    She doesn’t get nervous, and she sure as hell doesn’t admit it if she is. Nerves are usually just an actor's excitement, but this was different. Her heart wasn’t racing the same way it does before she goes on stage. This was bigger, more intense. Her stomach was aching from the knots her organs have tied themselves into and she felt a little dizzy.

    aka; Lydia meets Cynthia’s dad.

    Summary

    “Let me go.”

    “Not a chance.“

    She heard people come up to them. She struggled against his hold. She needed to leave, why wasn’t he letting her.

    “Gil what’s going on?” She thinks Edward asked but wasn’t sure.

    “Let me go. I want to leave”

    “Well ain’t that a bite. You’re not driving right now. So calm down.”

    She stopped fighting, maybe if she stopped he would let her go. And then she could get the hell out of dodge.

    He did loosen his grip, but he stole the bike keys and threw them to Richie who pocketed them.

    “Give me my keys!” Cynthia was really annoyed now.

    “No.” This time Richie spoke. “What’s going on with you?”

    She sighed. They clearly weren’t going to let her leave. She would have to walk or something.

    “I don’t want to be here anymore.” She gave them a look. “I can’t be here anymore.”
