The rich girls steal, the pretty girls lie, the smart girls play dumb, and the dumb girls spend their days trying to be all of the above.

AU in which Clara remembers her other self, Connie, from the 40s. She knows who Bucky is. She remembers. But she can’t believe the same man standing before her is the man she knew back then.

PRIMEVAL MEME ✖ [1/4] FRIENDSHIPS
└ HILARY BECKER & MATT ANDERSON

MATT/EMILY AU » TITANIC: Matt, Emily, & their daughter Charlotte are one of the lucky families who gain passage on the Titanic’s maiden voyage. ‘Lucky’…so they think. It’s a living dream at the beginning, knowing in a few short days they’ll be starting a new life in a new world, with so many opportunities waiting to be taken. But for many the dream ends on the Ship of Dreams, and those who leave it are left with only nightmares.

But the clock is ticking and the man a couple of feet away is already threatening to lower the boat. “And what if you don’t find one?” she says finally, buying just a few more seconds. 

Matt hesitates, but he doesn’t flinch. “I’ll find a way,” Matt answers simply, even though they both know that’s the least likely scenario. But just for this moment they can pretend.
