Zoey and Leif’s Extraordinary Crisis by aftermidnight
Fandoms: Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (TV)
13 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
“If it helps, I’ve learned to see it as a gift,” Zoey said quietly. “These powers… they help me understand people better.”
Leif lowered his hands, his expression turning serious. “That’s where we differ, Clarke. Because from where I’m sitting, these ‘powers’ have only made things worse.”
Six months away and everything’s changed. SPRQ Point is gone, replaced by the corporate nightmare called Cipher. The office feels like a stranger’s house and worst of all? Somehow, Leif Donnelly of all people has her powers.
Leif, occasional thorn in her side, is also a wreck. Burned out, broken open, and quietly falling apart under the weight of feelings that were never supposed to be his.
Sometimes, all it takes is a little push from the universe for two emotionally guarded overachievers to question everything they thought they knew about each other. And, you know, slowly realize that maybe they’re not so different after all.

Summary
Look, Tobin's destination wedding was already a disaster waiting to happen: three days trapped at a resort with her work nemesis/friend/guy-who-drives-her-absolutely-crazy Leif Donnelly? Zoey could handle that. Probably. Maybe.
But then there was an argument (his fault), and tequila (Tobin's fault), and suddenly she's waking up in Leif's hotel room with a hangover (definitely her fault). Blame it on the wedding atmosphere, or the alcohol, or years of competitive tension finally snapping. They will make every excuse in the book.
Spoiler alert: they're really bad at pretending nothing happened.

Summary
Danny Michael Davis assigns a new project to the fourth floor: contact lenses that record what you see and monitor the brain to track how you feel. What was just meant to be a two-hour data collecting experiment isn't so simple when Zoey's powers freeze time for a song and the lenses pick up on the discrepancy. Can Zoey keep her powers under wraps, or will they be revealed to the world?

Summary
It was lunch break, and Tobin was reading. As in, Tobin was holding a real, physical book in his hands, and reading the words printed in ink, and turning the pages, and everything.
Max was kind of amazed.

“Two weeks, Donnelly. Two weeks to get there, write it, and get back. If you haven’t written something back about your progress by day eleven, I’m sending a search party or assuming you’re dead.”

Summary
"...When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."
You get to the elevator right before it closes and squeeze your way through the door, making your way to the right of the small room. You go to unlock your phone when you feel a nudge on your left. You look up to find the tall dorky jerk of a coworker standing there holding a coffee cup and giving you a slight smile. You question internally how genuine it is, but smile and nudge back with your shoulder. The elevator doors close as you look back down at your phone. Oblivious to the man standing next to you now accustomed with a giddy grin as he tries to go back to drinking his coffee.

Summary
“This could be… mutually beneficial. Think about it.”
The words ring in his head as he gets into the elevator the next day, trying desperately to ignore the throbbing pain in his head where he’s reminded just how many daiquiris he’d downed after Leif made the suggestion (and the memory of a hand lightly patting his cheek feels different now with the memory attached to it of the same hand’s fingernails scratching lightly at the bare skin under his shirt, wet lips eliciting crazy sensations across his neck).
It is not the time to think about that specific memory, Max.
OR
The universe where Max and Leif hook up after the karaoke disaster and then maybe kind-of sort-of continue hooking up.
