Could you write a sad Maeve / Luis one-shot where they break up and Drivers License is from Maeve’s POV?? We can just pretend that she didn’t have her license in the books haha

yesss i freaking love this song so much thanks for the ask! This takes place when Maeve’s a senior in high school and Luis is a sophomore in college.

I got my driver's license last week Just like we always talked about

“What’s the first thing you want to do now you can drive wherever you want to?” Bronwyn asked Maeve as she jumped on her bed.

“Drive into hell and stay there.”

Bronwyn sighed and closed her eyes. Maeve had been pushing past her sister’s patience threshold for the last week.

“I’m being serious Maeve.”

“As am I.”

“Maeve.”

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. But I can’t stand thinking about my dumb license. We used to talk about me getting it for so long.”

“Maeve Luis is not the end of your world.”

“Then why does it feel like he is?”

'Cause you were so excited for me To finally drive up to your house

Maeve felt her heart break as she drove past his familiar house, the one with the flowers crammed into window boxes. She wanted to pull into the driveway, ring the doorbell that always stuck and make small talk with his mom before falling into him like she always did.

But today I drove through the suburbs Crying 'cause you weren't around

But she couldn’t. She felt the tears pool in her eyes as she kept driving farther and farther away from her town and everything she had always known.

And you're probably with that blonde girl Who always made me doubt

Maeve didn’t like to think about who Luis was with. If she had to guess, it was Monica from his culinary class, with her bright blue eyes and blonde highlights.

She's so much older than me She's everything I'm insecure about

What was there to not like about Monica? She had beautiful long hair unlike Maeve’s cropped bob, and she had the kind of curves a person with cancer for ten years could only dream about. Maeve used to feel like a child whenever she stood next to Monica.

Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs 'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

“They’ll be other boys,” Maeve’s mother had assured her when she had burst through the front door sobbing like there was no tomorrow.

“No there wont,” Maeve had wailed into her pillow.

“There will be sweetie, trust me.”

Maeve didn’t answer, but as her mother stroked her hair, she couldn’t help but feel her mother was wrong. Who else in the world was like Luis Santos?

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one

Maeve could remember the way they slammed doors and yelled at each other when their tempers got the best of them. Addy reminded her of those days when Maeve started to feel sad, but Maeve didn’t listen. Because no matter how much they argued and yelled and screamed, they always made it up to each other by the end of the day.

And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone

“I wonder if his girlfriend remembered that he’s allergic to shrimp.”

“I’m sure she did honey, now please eat your dinner.”

“I will Dad, but what if he eats shrimp and dies?”

“Doubtful Mija.”

“But it could happen.”

“Maeve eat your food or I’ll stab you with a fork.”

“Don’t be violent Bronwyn. But your sister is right honey, eat your food.”

“What if he gets stabbed by a fork?”

“Maeve stop talking.”

Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me

Maeve still had the song he wrote on the back of a napkin at Glenn’s diner. She could remember that day like it was yesterday. She had been gushing over how cute a new song was, and he had flashed her his easy smile.

“So what? It’s easy to write about people you love. I could do it in five minutes.”

“Oh yeah?” Maeve was laughing at his serious expression.

“Yeah.” Luis grinned at her. “Hand me that napkin.”

“Yes, sir.”

He held the pen over the paper. “Time me. In five minutes I will have written a masterpiece about the masterpiece in front of me.”

'Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street

Maeve hummed the tune to the forgotten song as she drove past his house.

And all my friends are tired Of hearing how much I miss you but I kinda feel sorry for them

“Maeve I don’t care that Luis had a baseball card collection,” Phoebe whined.

“And if I have to hear about the time he hit a homerun and won the game one more time I’m going to throw you out of my car,” Knox agreed.

“He wasn’t even that great. He was kind of stuck up.”

'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do

Maeve just pursed her lips and looked out the window. She didn’t bother to tell them about how he coached the little-league baseball team every week, or about how he volunteered at the animal shelter every Saturday and taught Sunday school the next day. Just because he didn’t tell everyone didn’t mean he wasn’t a great person.

Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs And pictured I was driving home to you

As they drove past Luis’s house, Maeve closed her eyes and imagined herself leaning forward, tapping Knox on the shoulder, and asking him to “please drop me off here I need to tell my boyfriend something.” The fact that Maeve couldn’t do that make her want to curl in to a ball and cry.

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one

“Luis who are you staring at?”

“No one babe.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. The only person I could stare at is you.”

It was now that Maeve realized that he was watching Monica. It broke her heart to think about, but she could also feel the way she warmed up from inside out when when he turned those chocolatey brown eyes on her.

Oh, and I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone

“Do you think she’s making sure he takes a break from cooking?”

“Maeve, frankly, I don’t care and neither should you.”

“But Nate-”

“But nothing Maeve.”

I guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me

Maeve could still think of those song lyrics, the only ones that were coherent in a jumble of words:

I love my Maeve

She’s so fine

With her eyes that shine

'Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street

As Maeve drove past his house to get to the mall, she saw Monica’s car in his driveway. Did he think her eyes shone too?

Red lights Stop signs

Maeve stared ahead at the red light as she remembered the first time Luis drove in the car with her when she only had a learner’s permit and he took it upon himself to teach her:

“God Maevey, make sure you don’t stop a foot into the crosswalk” he had said.

“Sorry.”

“Don’t be.”

I still see your face In the white cars

He leaned towards her and kissed her long and hard as the guy in the white car behind them honked his horn incessantly.

Front yards Can't drive past the places We used to Go to

Maeve drove past a front yard and remembered the time she nearly drove straight into her mother’s hydrangea bush. “Try not to decapitate the flowers,” Luis had said gravely.

“I’ll try,” Maeve had laughed as she put the car in the reverse.

Maeve could still feel the giddiness the felt that day when they drove past the flower shop and Luis suggested they should get more hydrangeas just in case she decided to go on another killing spree.

Now, as Maeve passed the store, she felt as if someone had ripped a hole in her chest.

'Cause I still fucking love you, babe

“I love you Luis,” she whispered to the empty shop as she drove past.

Sidewalks We crossed

Maeve could feel the weight of his hand in hers as she crossed the street to the mall. She missed how comfortable he made her feel.

I still hear your voice In the traffic

As the cars drove past, he could hear him saying to her “these cars had better be careful once you get your license Maevey. We should get you some sirens so when you start driving people will know to get out of your way, just in case.”

We're laughing Over all the noise

Maeve smiled to herself a little as she remembered how Luis had to wrap an arm around her middle to keep her up as she laughed at his admittedly not-that-funny joke. There was something about being with Luis that made everything ten times better. Even his god-awful jokes.

God, I'm so blue

Maeve sighed a deep sigh as she thought about how much she missed.

Know we're through But I still fucking love you, babe

Maeve would give anything to be laughing with him. Her mother had once told her that love was fickle, and that you could be in love with one person one day and another person the next. Maybe that rule applied to Luis, but it didn’t to Maeve. She still missed him so much it hurt.

I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one

Maeve could still remember the day he had locked her out in the rain. They had argued about something petty and she stood on the steps trying to figure out how to get home when the door opened and Luis stood with so much remorse on his face it hilled her.

“I’m so sorry Maevey, I was an ass.”

Maeve hugged him hard and he rocked her back and forth, apologizing over and over again.

And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone

Maeve wondered briefly if Monica was willing to go to cookware stores with him for hours upon hours as she walked past his favorite store as she left the mall. She hoped so. Luis deserved to be happy.

Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me

Maeve passed an ad for a song-writing class as she passed a street sign pole. The words to the song he wrote came flying back to her:

I love my Maeve

She’s so fine

With eyes that shine

'Cause you said forever now I drive alone past your street

Maeve turned those lyrics over and over in her mind as she drove through his neighborhood.

Yeah, you said forever now I drive alone past your street

“Love you Luis,” she mumbled as she passed his house.

God for such a happy couple I write so many sad one shots about them :( (I have fun though keep requesting stuff). Enjoy!!!

Do you have any Maeve and Nate headcanons? They have such a sweet relationship in the books

Oh my gosh yes! I love Maeve and Nate!

Originally, Maeve did not like Nate because she didn’t want to lose her sister/best friend

But she saw how sweet Nate was with Bronwyn and it was clear that they loved each other

She still threatens him though

“If you hurt my sister you’ll be in big trouble”

“I wouldn’t dream of that, Maeve. And I won’t steal your sister either.”

“What do you mean?”

“You two are close. I respect that.”

Maeve is definitely thrown off guard.

“Oh. Okay”

They’re best friends after that

Nate definitely offers to be Maeve’s date to things when she’s single

It’s platonic of course and they love hanging out and listening to music in the corner of the gym where they just get to be by themselves

Nate goes to Maeve when he has questions about Bronwyn

“Does Bronwyn like chocolate? Should I buy her chocolate?”

“Jeez Nate, who doesn’t like chocolate?”

Nate shows up with a giant box of chocolate for Bronwyn the next day, and when Maeve isn’t paying attention, he slips some into her sweater pocket

(am I the only one who imagines Maeve wearing over sized hoodies and knitted sweaters she steals from people all the time?)

She finds the chocolate and a little note saying “for my favorite Maeve”

The next day, Nate finds mints in his leather jacket with a note attached to them

“I’m the only Maeve you know”

Attached to a pack of gum, Nate’s note reads: “Therefore, the best”

“Therefore is a very fancy word” is on a pack of M&Ms

“I’m a fancy guy Maeve” is written on the note section of the Rice Krispie Treat package in Maeve’s bag

This carries on for ages

Bronwyn finds out and insists they’re having too much sugar

They start a folding competition after that

“Your sweater belongs to me, I believe, Maeve, and that swan looked like a dead whale”

“No sir, it belonged to Bronwyn, who stole it from you. And at least I didn’t get three paper cuts trying to fold a triangle”

Maeve drives to Nate’s apartment building after school and chills in his room to do her homework when she’s not at Contigo

Nate is definitely the first person Maeve tells about her crush on Luis

Nate starts laughing uncontrollably

“What?”

“Maeve, everyone knows”

“Shut up”

Nate also gives Luis the older brother “hurt her and there will be consequences” talk

Nate drives over to Maeve’s house and sits with her on her window seat when she misses Bronwyn

They get dinner once a week. Not for any particular reason, they just like doing something together

Maeve always confides in Nate

Those days after the explosion, when Nate’s arm is in a sling and Bronwyn has to go back to college, Maeve spends hours at his apartment just to make sure he’s okay

Piggyback rides!

Also, I imagine Maeve to be very short, so like, Nate probably just carries her whenever he feels like it

(Everyone probably does, who are we kidding?)

Nate buys Maeve small things that he thinks she’d like, like a new pen or a pretty glass paperweight

Nate picked Maeve up from her first day of junior year and drove her to get coffee or something because he knew how hard it would be for her to go to school without her sister

The day after Jules (ugh) kissed Nate, Maeve took Nate out somewhere and over pizza, she explained that it was just a dare and Bronwyn still loved him more than ever

Around the time college applications are due Nate calls Maeve and is surprised to find she’s crying

When he asked her why, she launched into a rant about how she needed to go to a good school because of her parents and Bronwyn and she had to get a good job and she had to be perfect

Nate’s just silent and finally asks, “Maevey what do you want to do?”

Maeve is speechless because no one has ever asked her that before

During their five hour phone conversation, Maeve decides she loves teaching

Maeve is the first person Nate calls when he’s thinking of proposing

Nate is the first person Maeve tells when Luis proposes

They both dance with each other at their respective weddings

They spend time together when their husband/wife are busy being professional or whatever

Nate and Maeve are just best friends/brother and sister and they love and respect each other so much

That was fun! Always, feel free to request any other pairings, romantic or not
