Summary
Chapter 23 Oct 6
Chapter 22 Sep 30
This started as a one chapter fic, an alternative way for the pool scene from the trailer.
It turned into a multichapter then - a possible way back to each other. It’s a story about grief, redemption, healing and the strange time inbetween.

~~~~~~~~~
Where We Stand – the sequel to The Weight of Loss and After the Storm – follows James and Ruby as they navigate life between Oxford, Thame, and London in the years 2 and 3 after that terrible night with Mortimer. With Ruby deep in university life and James balancing Beaufort, the foundation, and building their future home, they’re learning what it means to heal, to grow, and to stand together.
Love and friendship remain their anchor, but some wounds don’t fade easily—and the past still echoes in unexpected ways. This is their journey of finding strength in each other, shaping the future they fought so hard to have.

Summary
"I'll see you later then," Ruby says, releasing his hand. She involuntarily flexes her fingers as she drops her arm by her side.
James follows the movement.
"Have dinner with me tonight," he says, glancing back at her. "There's an old pub in Pemwick where the boys and I go sometimes for a drink or two." Ruby raises one eyebrow and James smirks. "Or maybe more than two. But the food is great and it's never too busy. I have something to do after school, but Percy can pick you up at 7.30?"
Ruby hesitates only a beat. “It's a date."

Summary
Ruby gets hit by a car and the impact leaves her with amnesia. She remembers her family, she even remembers her best friend Lin, but she doesn't remember the last four years of her life. The life that she and James had built together. She doesn't remember all the friendships that she built. She doesn't even recognize James when she sees him again. The worst part about this is that James had just proposed to Ruby, now Ruby is back living with her parents, staying in her teenage room but living in a body that feels foreign to her. Trying desperately to spark any kind of recognition. Especially after she learns of the life that she had shared with this James. Still living in confusion, Ruby begins to start falling for James again, but it feels like the person that she was keeps slipping farther and farther away from her. From what she can tell James is heartbroken and does not know what to do with this version of Ruby who doesn't know him. Are they strong enough to survive this?

Suddenly, I find myself in charge of a bunch of frightened people hiding within the walls of castle that used to be our school. Even worse, the person I have to rely on the most to help me through this nightmare is the last person in the world I would have ever imagined or wanted to be my ally - James f*cking Beaufort.

Summary
Spoilers for all season 1
I have recently fallen completely and utterly in love with the German series on amazon prime called Maxton Hall: The World Between Us / Die Welt zwischen uns. If you haven't watched it, you need to watch it but watch it in its original German with the English subtitles because you will lose so much with the English dub.
Anyway, I looooooooooooooooooooooove James and Ruby so much. It's almost terrifying how much I love them as a ship.
