SUMMARY:

During "I see London" the Gwuncan kiss ends up very different, when Gwen comes out as a lesbian after Duncan kisses her. Despite wanting to keep it a secret, especially from her homophobic parents, it doesn't go well when Tyler overhears and cannot keep his mouth shut. Gwen struggles with thoughts of suicide as well as loosing the kindling "friendship" with Courtney (who has to battle her own feelings throughout the story). More issues arise when producers don't like people of Gwen's kind, and Chris cannot keep her on the show...

WHY I RECOMMEND:

This has to be my favourite fic by FAR !! The author is really good at world-building and capturing the character's personalities, especially Gwen, who is the centre of this fic. They also don't make Duncan a complete douchebag which is refreshing to see when he's often demonised in Courtney/Gwen spaces. Speaking of, the way they deal with the girlfriends' and their feelings for each other is adorable. Gwen heavily goes through it but the ending is so worth it.

Small disclaimer: this fic has heavy mentions of suicide/thoughts for around a chapter or so. There is also homophobic themes throughout the fic.

If you love angst or even just a different take on the love triangle. Please do give this a read !! :3

SUMMARY:

"Courtney Sinclair, the driven student council president, has her carefully structured world disrupted when she’s paired with Gwen Ingrid, the unapologetic but surprisingly friendly goth. As they tackle a school project, their contrasting styles spark tension and unexpected revelations.

OR

Courtney and Gwen are paired up for a school project and things go about as well as you’d expect." WHY I RECOMMEND: Argh this has to be one of my favourite Gwourtney fics of all time. It is a medium burn fic that made me cry in at least three different chapters (╥﹏╥). It is incredibly well written, and the plot is very thought-out. Despite the main theme obviously being the unexpected school project. Things get intense especially on Courtney's end, through family & school struggles. She also refuses to let Gwen (her newfound "friend") understand anything that is going on. Small disclaimer, this fic has mentions of domestic abuse/self harm, it is also discontinued but please do give it a read !!
