Summary
"After Archie left, it was just her and Bunny again, like before. They traveled the world together, she and Bunny, and she racked up a reputation for herself as the uncatchable, perfect thief. She would go and get her diamonds, or art, or whatever it was she was stealing, and she would take it back to where she had her most precious treasure: Bunny."
A study of the one thing that's been with Parker this whole time, what it's seen her go through, and why she needs it now.Series

Summary
Nailed It: A phrase indicating success. May alternatively be used as an ironic response to a situation that goes exceptionally poorly.
Eliot usually makes good first impressions, especially on ladies, but I guess everyone has an off day now and again. Ava isn't sure she wants to be around a guy that can have THAT kind of an off day.Series

Summary
"Eliot couldn't remember the last time he'd been on a normal date. Though maybe, he thought, this wasn't a normal adult date so much as it was a normal high school date. He'd brought her flowers and picked her up, they had gone to get dinner, and then ice cream, and now, on the way back to the car, they were stopping to watch fireworks. All that was missing was the county fair and Shania Twain blasting from a passing pick-up truck."
In an effort to overcome a bad first impression, Eliot tries something different. This follows my story "Nailed It," but can be read alone.

Summary
It's hot, and she's bored, and the ONE thing that would make it bearable to sit out in the heat while Mama talks to some client is the ONE thing that Mama says she can't have: Blue Moon ice cream from the man with the cart across the playground. But luckily, Alexia Ford has had a... unique education. Even if her mother won't give her money for ice cream, there's more than one way to solve a problem.
