For the past month I've enjoyed so much sharing my favorite stories with you. This is my last set for June: The Serious Relationship Recs.
Fandom: BANDOM

Why this must be read:
One of the most well-researched, honest, serious stories about Ashlee Simpson herself, told as she comes to know herself. She picks up Pete along the way when she finds out they know each other better than they even realized. A quiet, startling fic that packs sleeper punch. (Featuring Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.)
Excerpt:
Then one random, ordinary day she's out in the California sun, working on her tan while she juggles iced tea and a laptop and a phone call from her publicist, and in her personal email there's this message from an unfamiliar address - just a mundane line or two, saying hey and you seem cool and we should hang out sometime.
Ashlee doesn't recognize the name, personally or professionally.
God only knows how he tracked this email down, she thinks tiredly, creep, and replies with a message, saccharine and chilly, that makes it very clear that she has no idea who he is.
And that's how Pete Wentz happens. (Ashlee holds that Pete Wentz is not someone you meet exactly. He's something that hits you where you're standing, like a hurricane or a falling piano. Much later, Patrick Stump will express this same idea almost verbatim to her, and Ashlee will laugh so hard that she falls off the tourbus couch.)
