Outrageous Fortune by Corinna (PG13)

Fandom: SLINGS AND ARROWS
Pairing: Kate/Jack

Why this must be read: It's an engaging story that feels canonical enough to be an unfilmed spin-off.

The last we see of Kate on the show is in the limo with Jack, on their way to Hawaii. But what happens next? This wonderful story seems entirely true to the characters we saw on the show, and the gentle humor and Shakespearean references evoke canon at every turn. Kate finds her own path in a way that reminds me of Geoffrey's journey, and that anyone who loves S&A will love as well.

Kate was assigned her own agent, Jennifer, a young blonde with an office two floors down from Sam's. "You must be Kate! We're going to have so much fun."

"We are?" said Kate.

"Of course we are! You're super-cute. People are going to be falling all over themselves for you, just you wait. OK? First, we're gonna have to get you some headshots."

"Oh, I have headshots."

"Canadian headshots. We'll get you some real ones. And then you'll start doing auditions. I have a couple of things in the pipeline I think you'd be perfect for. They're smaller parts, but that's really how you want to start. You don't want the pressure of having to carry a whole movie by yourself your first time out, do you? A smaller part where you can make an impression, get noticed, that's what you want. Think of Matt Damon! He had ten minutes in that Meg Ryan movie, but they were great minutes. A year later, he had an Oscar!"

"But he won the Oscar for best screenplay," Kate said.

"Exactly. You see? All sorts of doors open for you with a good first impression."

Kate left Jennifer's office with an appointment with a photographer, three movie auditions, and a headache.
