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.

Summary
Ruby Bell has never been a believer of the local legends about dangerous sirens and mermaids alike. She's never thought of them as anything but a nightmare meant to scare children.
At a crucial juncture in her life, there's no room for mistake or distraction. All she has to do is survive two years at the famously difficult Maxton Hall, and she'll get her ticket to Oxford University.
Enter James Beaufort, enigmatic and so god damn attractive. The proclaimed prince of the school and Ruby's new worst nightmare. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
My schedule’s packed. Every minute’s accounted for. Oxford’s the dream, and I don’t exactly have time for gossip, or scandals, or spoiled rich kids with too many secrets. Honestly, I just want to do my work, keep my promise, and go home.
…But somehow, I keep ending up in the middle of everything I swore I’d avoid.
*****
An AU where Ruby’s a bit more awkward, a touch cynical, but her heart’s still in the right place.

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?

Summary
James Beaufort has been lying to Ruby, trying, desperately, to protect her from his family. But when he shows up to school with a battered face, he might not be able to lie any longer.
This one-shot if canon adjacent; the exact scene doesn't occur in the first book or TV show, but it's consistent with canon plot points.

Summary
At Maxton Hall, Ruby Alvaria is just another quiet student—brilliant, guarded, and invisible. No one knows she’s actually a princess from the powerful European kingdom of Alvaria. Not even her boyfriend, James Beaufort, the school’s golden boy and heir to a global empire.
But when her twin brother, Prince William, arrives, Ruby’s secret begins to crack. A kiss on the forehead. A foreign phrase. A bow from the headmaster. Whispers spread, and Ruby’s carefully hidden identity is threatened.
As her royal past collides with her present, Ruby must decide who she wants to be. In the unraveling, she finds unexpected strength, true friendship, and a love that might just survive the truth.
She’s no longer just the girl who hid—she’s ready to be seen.

Summary
So, what you need to know: this is a one shot, set in the Time & Tide universe, just after they moved into the Thame house. It never made the final cut. So you don’t need to read it to understand the rest of the universe. It’s a fun beach weekend for the whole MH crew. Oh, and you should listen to Pearl Jam’s Amongst The Waves. And maybe read the lyrics if you don’t know the song yet.

Gravity - alternative Chapter 18 by Almostautumn

Summary
This is the promised alternative chapter 18 for Gravity. I think it makes only sense after you read the other 17 chapters.
After this chapter, the story would have ended. They would have said everything in one night.
And I had to be honest with myself: that’s not who they are—not in this story, not this early.
That’s why I wrote a new Chapter 18.
And that’s why the story goes on.Series

Summary
James Beaufort is perfect, how could he not be? He has money, good grades, a new one night stand all the time, everything is perfect. At least that's how he made it look. He did exactly what his father taught him from an early age. Because a Beaufort doesn't show any weakness, let alone cry.
Over the years, James perfected his mask, so perfectly that he couldn't even remember the last time he showed his true feelings. Most of the time he only felt just numb, an emptiness that he tried to fill with alcohol, sex and drugs.
In the beginning it worked, he could forget everything around him but at some point it was gone, the kick, and again he felt nothing. And during some sleepless nights, everything seemed to collapse on him and he felt an incredible pain, a pain that took his breath away like someone was tearing him apart from the inside.Until she came.
Ruby Bell.
