Summary
When they do stumble over the threshold, it’s with too-loud laughter and hands they can’t keep to themselves. Dani only just gets the door closed before she finds herself pinned against the other side of it, Jamie’s lips finding hers in a messy kiss that has too much teeth because neither one of them can stop smiling. Dani’s hands slip under the collar of Jamie’s jacket and squeeze the muscles of her shoulders through the Blondie shirt she’s wearing. Just to give her hands something to do, so that they’re touching Jamie, somewhere, anywhere. Dani feels too much like she might float away and, even though Jamie is the one causing that - and so much more - touching her is the only thing that seems to ground Dani. Keeps her on the same plane of existence.

What happened after that moonflower monologue... (It's just 15k of smut.)

Summary
With both hands Dani grips Jamie’s collar, pulls her in again slowly, until their noses touch. “Tell me to stop,” she says, quiet and pleading, “or I’m gonna do it again. Stop me.”
“I can’t,” Jamie whispers.
(Or: Jamie meets Dani while she's on a study-abroad year in London. Five years later, they find themselves on vacation together, along with Owen, Hannah, and Dani's long-term boyfriend, Eddie.)

Summary
Dani Clayton is six years old when the O’Mara family moves in across the street. The world, for the most part, makes perfect sense in ways that will unravel in two short years. She understands the suburban block on which she’s lived her entire life, the breadth of her father’s hands, the shine of her mother’s eyes. She understands everything.
She is six, and the world makes perfect sense, and the world will make sense forever.
(Or: AU in which Jamie is taken in by the O'Mara family, and Dani grows up wedged between two best friends with dark hair, learning slowly how to fall in love.)
