Summary
This is essentially a rewrite of nothing than the movies, but Liz went back to Micheal when Wes told her he was cheating on her.
I also added the main characters from Lynn painter’s other books into here because I have free will.
The fic starts if Liz and Wes both went home for his dad's funeral for like a week, then Liz went back and Wes didn't.

Inheritance Games Oneshots & Fluff by that_local_arsonist
Fandoms: The Inheritance Games - Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Summary
I think I’ve read almost all of the inheritance games fanfics on this website, and I was bored this summer, so I decided to write a collection of oneshots, especially since my fav couple in this series is Xander and Max, and there are so few collections of just them, so even though the tags say like all of the ships in the series, I’m mostly going to be focusing on Max and Xander. There will also be a significant amount of chaos with the entire group.

Summary
When Lucy Chen arrives at a remote lighthouse bed-and-breakfast in the teeth of a winter storm, she expects an old lady and a warm room, not the quiet, guarded man who has inherited the place. Tim has built his life on solitude, his dog, his cooking, the steady rhythm of waves against stone. But Lucy’s unexpected arrival unsettles that calm, drawing colour back into the faded edges of his days. As storms batter the coast, both will be forced to face the truths they’ve been avoiding: that sometimes strangers carry the very changes you never knew you needed.

Summary
In an alternate universe, Lucy and Tim are actors who have been cast opposite each other to film a movie together. To drum up buzz for the film in the hopes of making it a series, the studio asks them to fake date while the movie is filming. They agree to spend one year “dating”, but it might not always feel like pretend.

Summary
In the glittering chaos of Los Angeles, two worlds that should never have collided did exactly that — on a podcast couch, of all places.
Lucy Chen is a global pop sensation: sold-out stadiums, chart-topping albums, a smile that sells millions of records, and a carefully curated public life that hides more than it reveals. Tim Bradford is a no-nonsense podcaster: sharp questions, zero fluff, a quiet Silver Lake house, and a deep-seated distrust of anything that smells like “handed everything on a silver platter.”
When Tim’s agent books Lucy as a guest for Off the Record, he’s already decided she’s just another manufactured pop star — bubbly, polished, and probably empty. Lucy, on the other hand, has listened to every episode. She knows exactly what kind of conversation she’s walking into. She wants it.
What neither of them expects is the way the mic strips them both bare.
One episode.
One real, unfiltered conversation.
One viral moment that the internet turns into a love story before they’ve even figured out what it is.Bookmarked by that_local_arsonist

Summary
23 days from now, Lucy Chen would officially be a P2.
23 days from now, Lucy Chen wouldn't be riding shotgun in his shop, cracking jokes and sharing her coffee.
23 days from now, when Lucy was pinned down in a shootout, Tim wouldn't be there to watch her back.
23 days from now, he'd have to let her go.It started out like any other shift. Until everything went to hell.
