[livelovecaliforniadreams]

Just genius writing. To have a visual that you don't even have to hit the joke. It's just a visual like saying a line, and the way it's framed, it's just...I want to know exactly how this happened and how it all came together. -Rider 

It's also a giant... it's like such a big poster of celery. -Danielle

It is. -Will

And  it's perfect in every way. -Rider

It's a wonderful real... -Will

My favorite joke. -Rider

Me too. -Danielle.

A real beat but it's absurd.  it's oh god, it's great. it's great. -Will 

 It's so funny, just so funny, and is an absolutely iconic boy meets world moment. -Danielle

Autumn in Philadelphia Series Master List *Updated 04/16/25*

I have amazing friends who have contributed to the AiP world. They are incredible writers whose profiles are worth checking out as BMW is not their usual fandom.

Scroll down to One Shots to check them out.

Series link on AO3: Autumn In Philadelphia

Twenty years ago, Shawn Hunter had the opportunity to have the kind of family Cory Matthews had, but a jealous ex-girlfriend of his foster father destroyed that chance. After 17 years on the run, he has a chance for that happy ending again. But he isn't the only one who's back. As history gets set to repeat itself, Shawn enlists the help of his best friends and newly found sister to correct the mistakes of the past.

A Jonathan Turner and Shawn Hunter story with the entire BMW and GMW cast set in 1995 and 2015.

Canon-compliant. The presence of Audrey changes nothing that happens in BMW or GMW. This series tries to wrangle canon loose ends and continuity confusion into a cohesive story.

Audrey was created in 1995.

The Books:

Autumn in Philadelphia- Jon and Shawn try to settle into their changing roles from teacher and student to guardian and charge with limited to success. A student teacher assigned to Jon changes his relationship with Shawn in ways he could never have imagined. (Complete)

AO3 FFN WattPad

Shades of Love: A Shondrey Collection- Family is what you make it and with whom you make it.

A collection of drabbles, double drabbles, and slice of life moments with the family they found.

The name Shondrey (Shawn, Jon, and Audrey) comes from @mrsmungus (Mirandabelle ) who gave this little family their name. She was also the one to coin Jondrey (Jon and Audrey's ship name). This is quite an honor for me as she writes another favorite family of mine Tiva (Tony DiNozzo/Ziva David) and Tivali (Tony, Ziva, Tali).

The following three stories are very special to me. They were gifted to me by my dear friend and sister @mrsmungus. They are perfection!

Beneath A Scarlet Ribbon by @mrsmungus

December 98, their first New York Christmas.

Jon and Audrey decorate their tree and find themselves reminded of the past, while trying to live their present. But an early Christmas gift from Jon suddenly has the future looking a lot clearer.

When One Door Closes by Mirandabelle- Jon Turner learns a lesson in hope, patience and love as he tries to settle his newborn daughter to sleep.

*NEW* Lost & Found by Mirandabelle

When he loses his 2.5yo daughter Julia in Central Park on a sunny spring afternoon in 2002, Jon Turner finds out just how deep fear can run, and how many ways there are to be a good father.

The Art of Autumn in Philadelphia- Original artwork for the series by yours truly.

One-Shots:

The following stories are a part of the AiP universe although where they fit into the timeline is nebulous. And in one story AiP is that world's BMW.

These stories are written by my incredibly talented friends.

*NEW* But I Will Carry it Along by Yotsubadancesintherain5

When Shawn is acting unusually jumpy, Jon tries to uncover the reason.

*NEW* Driver's Ed by Impractical_Magic (sliebman10)

When Shawn gets his driver's license, Jon fulfills his promise to teach Shawn how to ride his motorcycle.

If You Love Someone by Yotsubadancesintherain5

On a cold winter morning Jon wakes up with a clear mind. In comparison to how his winter mornings used to go, the mornings he has now that Audrey and Shawn are in his life are much more colorful, warm and loving - and noisy, because there are some loud cooking noises going on in his kitchen.

Daredevil Hunter by TheSalty- “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

Why did that question seem to define Shawn Hunter's life?

This story was written for me and my sis, @justanotherpersonwhowrites by our incredible nephew, @tsunderesalty. Set earlier in the AiP timeline, this story captures the spirit of season 2 so well. Audrey's inclusion is just perfect.

Sniffing Out a Rat by @sliebman10

When Shawn plays a prank on Mr. Turner during class, he and Shawn have a heart to heart about his behavior.

Breaking the Fourth Wall by @the-orion-scribe

A Gravity Falls next-gen story featuring Dipper and Pacifica's children. AiP appears as this world's BMW.

Rip Shawn Hunter you would've loved driver's license and good 4 you during the Shawn/Cory breakup episode

What if I tell you that Angela Moore is a lesbian and she dated "Shawn" bc "Shawn" is actually Veronica and she comes out to her and it all makes sense and they're a beautiful lesbian couple? What, then? Huh?

THEY MOVE TO NEW YORK AND "SHAWN" STARTS HER TRANSITION AND ANGELA IS SO PROUD OF HER GIRLFRIEND AND THEY HAVE QUEER FRIENDS AND THEN VERONICA INTRODUCES JACK AND ERIC TO THE QUEER SCENE IN NEW YORK AND CORY AND TOPANGA GO AND ARE SO SUPPORTIVE AND EVEN FINDING EXPLORING THEIR QUEERNESS AND THEY'RE ALL GAY AND HAPPY AND OMFG I LOVE THEM SM I LOVE LESBAINS!!!! I LOVE QUEERS!!! AAAAAAAAA!

Favorite Character Meme [3/5 Relationships]: Shawn & Cory

"I always thought Topanga was the one person I could never live without, but she's gone, and you're here, and I'm alive so it must be you . . . Shawnie, I love you."

[scottstiles]

Class, I'd like to talk to you today about prejudice, and how it still exists in today's world. I didn't even know that till last night, when I saw a real smart, totally cool Asian girl crying her eyes out because some idiot at the mall called her a bad name. My lesson for today, is that when people treat other people badly because of their skin color, or their religion,or where they come from, then real smart, totally cool people can really suffer.

Kicking and Newfound Spouses

Characters: Shawn Hunter, Female!reader, Cory Matthews, Topanga Lawrence, Jack Hunter

Warnings: Fluff, Cory being a dramatic bish, Panga is our homie, Jack is clueless, Shawn just wants his lady love, Eric is not mentioned but hiding somewhere in the scene, this was fun, I wanted to write for this fandom for a while, my baby bad boy hunter for the win, shawn introducing himself is an inside joke

Word Count: 570

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You sit at the corner booth in your favorite restaurant, enjoying the quietness at your table even as the noise around you gets louder.

-

Shawn looks to his left and finds you, sitting there looking as pretty as ever.

Cory catches his gaze and realizes what, more like who, he’s looking at.

He shakes his head, “hey, Shawn.”

His friend turns to look at him.

“No.”

He pouts.

-

Topanga slips away from the two and wanders towards your table.

-

“Remember when we were ten and turned eleven?”

“Vaguely but go on.”

“She kicked you out of your chair because you called her essay messy. Are you- are you still with me here?”

“I am but I don’t see your point.”

“She will kick you out of your chair again, Shawn.”

“And I’ll lay on the floor a happy man.” He all but runs away from Cory.

-

“Hey," he slips in beside you. “Shawn hunter at your service,” he holds his hand out to you.

You glance at it and his face and can’t understand why he’s at the booth or trying to persuade you. “To what? Fail?”

He furrows his brows confused by your comment, most girls would start swooning over him by now.

He shakes his head and continues. “No, to study.”

-

Cory stands in the corner still, biting his nails. “He's lost it.”

-

“You’ve never once studied in your life, Hunter. What makes you think I’d want to study with you now?”

“It’ll be a date you won’t forget,” he tells you with one hundred percent certainty.

You take a deep breath, “I’ll admit that was a little smooth on your part, kudos to you but I can’t take that chance right now. I’m trying to get a good grade.”

“What about after?”

“After what?”

“The test. I want to go out with you.” You glance at Topanga from the corner of your eye, needing some reassurance that what he’s saying is real and not a joke.

You angle yourself to face him, “if there was ever a time where I’d say yes, which I haven’t yet, what would you be willing to do in order for that date to happen?”

He takes a deep breath, “I’ll let you kick me out of this booth.”

The corner of your lips twitch. “You two can’t let that go, huh.”

“No, Cory’s traumatized by it but for me, that was the day I knew I met someone who I’d be happy calling my wife.”

Your eyes widen and you can’t help but chuckle.

He always knew the things to say to get a response out of you.

“Deal.” You hold your hand out for him to shake.

He shakes your hand and places a soft kiss on the back of it before letting you kick him out.

“My butt might be sore later, but I’m not upset about it.”

-

Jack leans down to ask Cory, “did he just let someone kick him out of a booth?”

The younger man nods his head, “he told her to.”

“I’m afraid to ask but why?”

“They’re going on a date.”

“Oh. Oh. He does realize that’s not how you ask a girl out, right?”

“He has his methods, and you have yours.”
