“Y/N! Shawn’s at the door for you!”

I didn’t want to see him let alone talk to him. But I also didn’t want to talk to my parents about why I didn’t want to.

“Can you tell him to come up here?”

“Hey…”

“Hey.”

“You know, I didn’t actually think that you’d want to talk to me,” he laughed.

I looked down as I answered. “I didn’t...”

He sighs as he says, “Look, I’m real sorry Y/N/N–”

“Alright.”

He steps closer to me. “I mean it. I-I shouldn’t have left you alone-”

“Is that why you think I’m mad at you?”

“Well, that and…” He stuffed his hands in his pockets and mumbled, “...not looking for you.”

“...Okay.”

“That’s it? Okay?”

“What do you want me to say?”

He ran his hands through his hair. “C’mon Y/N…”

“No, seriously, how did you expect this to go?” I started. “What you did wasn’t an accident: it was a choice. It was your choice to ask me instead of the girl you actually wanted to be with. It was your choice to leave me without saying anything. And it was your choice to spend the night with the girl you wanted to go with.”

He’s visibly nervous. His hands are deep in his pockets, he’s rocking back and forth, and he’s staring at the ground. I wonder if he can feel my eyes on him. A part of me wanted to feel bad for making him uncomfortable, but that feeling quickly went away when I remembered what Topanga told me on our way home that night.

“It wasn’t the fact that you left me to go hookup with someone that made me mad, I mean that was part of it, but I would have just let that go…Do you want to know what really hurt me?”

Shawn slowly looks up at me, his eyes bearing into mine.

“Cory and Topanga went looking for us because we had “disappeared”. Topanga found you, and when she told you that she couldn’t find me, you said you were “preoccupied” and brushed it off like it was no big deal.”

“Y/N/N I swear, I-I wasn’t thinking, I didn’t mean it.”

“Why would you even say something like that to begin with? Especially about someone that you call your best friend?”

He adverted his eyes, he couldn’t even look at me.

Good.

“I could’ve been in that bathroom with Leonardo DiCaprio, and I would still would have left to go find you. Because that’s what you do when you care about someone…Do you even care about me, Shawn?”

I hated the fact that my voice cracked, but I was seriously a few words away from crying, and I didn’t want to look at him anymore.

“Of course I do,” he replied. I could feel his hesitance as he made his way closer to me. “I can’t tell you how sorry I am about the things that I said, the things that I did. I was caught up in a moment and I wasn’t listening. And I-I know that’s not an excuse and I’m not trying to say it is. It was stupid, I was stupid. And wrong, so, so wrong. I shouldn’t have left you without saying anything, and I should have been there for you, I know. No one should feel like they’re not wanted…”

He brought his hand up to my face, turning it to face him.

“…especially you.”

We stayed like that, staring into each other's eyes in silence, until he wrapped his arm around me and joked: “…and I should know, neither of my parents wanted me.”

“Shawn…”

“Okay, I know, I shouldn’t joke about that, but still. I care about you so much, Y/N. I never meant to hurt you, you gotta believe that. And I’ll do anything, and I mean anything, to make it up to you…”

I just looked at him. I didn’t really know what to say.

“I-I don’t want to be the reason I lose you, Y/N/N.”

I love Eric v much so here's a little piece from the New Year's Eve ep.

@oceanblueeyesoul , hope you don't mind the tag but you seemed glad to read for him !

gender neutral reader :)

—

You sighed, sitting on corey's bed as you once again watched Eric clumsily prepare for a date.

"Y/n, you don't get it this is the Rebecca-Alexa. The real life model !"

"I heard you the first time, Eric."

He continued dashing around the room, throwing a tie on excitedly. You were nose deep in a study book, when it finally hit him you weren't ready.

" Don't you have a super awesome kiss, obviously not as great as mine—" He smirked, fantasizing about his night.

"Not particularly, no."

"C'mon y/n! You can third wheel me, find someone super hot to make out with at the party."

You sighed, agreeing in the hopes said Rebecca-Alexa would dump him. You'd had a crush on Eric since forever— being Shawn's older sibling you'd known him and Corey since forever.

After awhile a crush developed into love, and now here you were on new years eve— watching your best friend get prepared to go out with a hot chick.

"Don't tell me you're studying all night, you've got too much brain."

You looked up from your book, shutting it, "Yes of course, I just wear dress clothes every night I plan to study."

"Oh, I never noticed that—"

"I'm being sarcastic Eric, I'm tagging along, date-free however."

He gave you an odd look, but ended up smiling, glad to have his best friend around— so he wouldn't have to re-explain the quote on quote "best kiss" of his life.

You finally got up from Corey's bed, hearing Amy and Alan calling after you both. Eric looked at you, extending his arm nervously, you hooked your arm in his.

"Shall we?"

"We shall." He responded, "Does my hair look good? Is this good?"

"You look great, shut your brain off, Matthews."

You two walked downstairs— him going straight to his parents asking for advice on his outfit. The family went through their normal good-lucks on the night, whilst Eric and his new date pulled you along.

The worst part was how kind she was— it ruined the whole tag along to steal her date thing. It made it even worse that his intentions were never to be a good date.

And on top of it all, the car broke down, Cory ruined the taxi ride, and everyone took the subway idea far too serious.

Here you were, watching it all go down— Cory revealed Eric's secret, Eric's date got off, and now the whole car was partying while he sat by you and watched.

"So much for that big kiss, huh Matthews?"

"Rebecca-Alexa.."

"You were leading her on, you kind of deserved it."

"No mid-night kiss.."

"Eric are you serious."

"No totally hot model.."

You smacked the back of his head, which he quickly grabbed. "Ouchie, ouchie, what was that for!"

He looked at you, taking note of the empty spot on the other side of you— also no hot date to kiss at midnight. "Oh. Right.."

You sighed, standing up, and offering your hand, "Midnight's in roughly a minute." He took your hand, standing up, "And?"

"And, I'm not a totally hot model, but I'm here and also without a date."

"You want me to kiss you?"

"I want you to want to kiss me."

"What?"

5. "Do you want to kiss me?"

4. "Is this a trick?"

3. "No, I've liked you since.. like forever, doofus."

2. "Doofus? I am NOT a doofus."

1. "Shut up and kiss me."

Everyone counted down around you, and he did. Of course the two of you timed it off, and as the ball dropped you'd both already parted.

"I'm sure I wasn't jaw dropping, but I wanted to kiss you, she definitely didn't."

"Not jaw dropping, I think you better re-think that.." He nodded his head— you kept your arms around his neck, looking behind you too see Corey, Shawn, and Topanga staring wide eyed.

"Did you just—"

"My sibling?!"

"I think they're cute." Topanga shrugged, shooing them off.

[theywerejust-roommates---right]

Listen. Cory sux. (Sorry.) Topanga should've gone to Yale. Shawn's poetry puts mine to shame. & Eric is my guyyyyyyy.

(.........& Jack is Eric's guy, confirmed.)

2022 Fic Year in Review

Total Number Of Posted Works: 7

Total Word Count: 2041

Fandoms I’ve Written In: New Girl, Boy Meets World, Leverage, Doctor Who

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected: Less, probably. When I did this same questionnaire last year, I’d written 32 fics. I didn’t expect to maintain that but 7 is...not a ton.

What’s Your Own Favorite Story Of The Year: Either Waiting or A Day at the Beach

Did You Take Any Writing Risks This Year: Eh, I don’t think any pic ones.

Do You Have Any Fanfic Or Profic Goals For The New Year: I’d like to clear out some ideas and I’d like to write a longer, more definitive getting together fic for Shawn, Cory, and Topanga.

Most Popular Story Of The Year: Maybe, which I find kind of annoying but that’s what I get for writing some of the least popular ships in a fandom.

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: A Day at the Beach

Most Fun Story To Write: I have a tendency to have a fic perfect in my mind as a movie and translating that to the written word is not always a smooth process, nor is it necessarily the most ideal one. But it’s what I have and A Day at the Beach was the one that most resembled what I had in my mind.

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Idk if this counts but it’s one of my WIPs. I have Shawn Hunter saying the phrase, “I want to love you in ways you’ve never been loved before” and damn if I didn’t realize after that that I could use some of that too.

Biggest Disappointment: Still not finishing either the big date night fic for Leverage or my NaNo fic from 2019.

Biggest Surprise: I don’t hate ALL marriage fics. Just other people’s. But Telling Dad is cute.

My Favorite Part Of Fandom This Year: Reading all the ways people imagine Shawn and Cory and Topanga being together.

My AO3

[cecenyss]

Three episodes in and season 4 is definitely eleventh grade, Cory’s already said that. I read on Reddit that season 5 is the ‘senior year’ season.

I get my years from Girl Meets World—Joshua is born on Valentine’s Day 1998. The kids are in their first year of college. I can work backwards from there.

Sixth — 1990-1991

Seventh — 1991-1992

Eighth — 1992-1993

Ninth — 1993-1994

Tenth — 1994-1995

Eleventh — 1995-1996

Twelfth — 1996-1997

College 1 — 1997-1998

Eleventh grade is Eric’s gap year. That means tenth is his senior year, so ninth was his junior year, so eighth was his sophomore year, so seventh was freshman year, so sixth was his eighth—but sixth was his sophomore year.

My math was off before. I had two solutions: Eric being held back, and making sixth grade his freshman year instead. Now I would have to mix them. I hate everything 😔

Here is my now solution: season 1 is sixth grade; season 2 is seventh grade; season three is tenth grade; season four is eleventh.

So there’s just a huge time gap I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The end of season 2 is when Chet leaves so I guess the time skip is before then. Either that or Chet was gone for three years. Except they say multiple times he was just gone for a year.

Anyway Alan is 42 in eleventh so he was born in 1953.

Morgan is in third grade in season 3. Her school life is never mentioned before that. That’s either ninth or tenth, depending on my mood.

Hi I’m CeceNyss and I’m obsessed with timelines. Moving on-

Season 1 of boy meets world is 6th grade, and they’re eleven. This is mentioned multiple times, very explicitly. Cory turns 12 towards the end-ish. Shawn is said to be thirteen towards the end-ish too, take that for what you will, I can’t be bothered to care.

Season 2 is the next year of school, seventh grade, and their first year of high school. This is also said rather explicitly throughout the season—I’ve only watched it once, in the last like two days, but I’m fairly certain they mention it less towards the end, so. Season two could be argued to also include eighth grade, but they do bring up it having been one school year when Topanga is doing the yearbook interviews, so I can’t say.

Season 3 is where things get fuzzy. They don’t say what grade they’re in (I’m like six episodes in don’t quote me on that) BUT Shawn says “three years and I still never have any idea what he says” or something of the sort about Feeny. That is not the quote and I do not care my point is made. Now, this could be taken to mean two things—it’s the beginning of eighth grade, this is their third year with him; or it’s the beginning of ninth grade, they’ve already had three years with him.

I personally believe that eighth grade happens between season two and three. It makes the most sense to me, both with how Cory’s voice drops between seasons and with Shawn’s quote.

The biggest conflict with this is that Eric is a sophomore in season 1, a junior in season 2, and a senior in season 3. That would mean it has to just go sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth.

…buuuuuut Eric could have been held back. It’s not the most unbelievable thing in the world. It doesn’t even really rank. (His hair also changes drastically for the worse.)

Anyway I have no idea for after that I haven’t finished that episode where Topanga’s sick and girls are fawning over Cory for some reason. I’ll reblog with more when I’m further in for all my loyal fans I mean for Cal he’s the only one reading this
