Title: (back when we were still) changing for the better

Author: poiregourmande

Pairings: Kelsey I./Sara/Marielle

Rating: T

Synopsis: Sara was seven when she met Kelsey. Sara was nineteen when she met Marielle. Sara was twenty-one when her life got flipped upside down.

based on seven, august, cardigan & betty from folklore

written for @rarebuzzships AU August, and as a gift for @uneventfulhouses

 Days with Kelsey were yellow among the sunflowers.

 Nights with Marielle were orange under the streetlights.

 ***

 Sara was seven when she met Kelsey.

 In all her seven years of life, she had never seen anything so beautiful as this tall girl with blue eyes and blonde braids and a white cotton dress, standing in a sunflower field like they were her best buddies. By the end of the summer before third grade, Sara’s yellow and blue pencils had been sharpened down to inch-long stubs.

Rating: General

Fandom: Puppet History, Watcher Entertainment

Pairing(s): Ryan Bergara/Kate Peterman

Warning: FLUFF, humor, crushes, puppets & muppets

Summary: It isn’t easy to get a scholarship into Puppet University when you are – in fact – not a puppet. Or even a muppet. Still, Kate Peterman is one of the lucky few to gain a scholarship into the exclusive school and she’ll be damned if she doesn't do her best. Puppet!World!AU For @rarebuzzships August!AU Event

Notes: I can’t believe I wrote a G rated fic. Honestly. Didn’t think I was capable. Proud of myself. I actually really like this. It was fun to do something cute and innocent for once.

On paper, it seemed like a terrible match. In reality, it worked so well it was insane.

He looked different from his profile pictures. His hair was blue, for one thing. For another, he had wide-framed glasses on that made him look soft and not at all intimidating. His pictures really didn’t do him justice, but that was neither here nor there. Shane sucked in a breath to focus himself. It was show time.

Kate has had a crush on Ryan Bergara since the moment she met him. Again, being one of the few human students at the University, he's hard to miss. Not to mention his smile, his hair, his muscles and…okay, okay – get back on track, Kate, he asked you a question!
