The Game Plan (Shawn Hunter x reader)
Summary: Topanga, Cory and Angela are tired of seeing you and Shawn being so obviously in love yet not together, and plan to change that for the better.
______________________________________________________________
Approaching your locker, you locked eyes with Shawn. A sweet smile formed on his face and you almost dropped the books you were holding.
“Hey.”
“Hey…”
After about 5 minutes of getting lost in each others eyes, Cory waved his hands in front of both your faces, snapping you both out of it. You blinked a few times before registering what he was actually saying.
“Er hello? Earth to lovebirds? Can you hear me?”
Neither you or Shawn corrected him after calling you that, neither of you ever did when he called you two a relationship-y term. You did wonder if he liked you back but he was always dating someone else up until now.
“What is it about each other that’s making you both so quiet?” Angela spoke, looking at you, and then at Shawn, and back again a few times.
Neither of you got to answer before the bell rang and you all went to your next class.
/inside Feeny’s class/
Cory leant back on his chair and turned to face Shawn.
“Why haven’t you asked them out already?”
Shawn sighed before starting to answer
“Well I-“
“Mr Hunter, Mr Matthews, do you have something more interesting to talk about than my lesson?” Feeny said, eyeing the two.
“No.” The two groaned before Feeny started lecturing them on whatever they missed while talking.
While Feeny was distracted, Angela turned to you.
“Look that boy loves you, we can all tell, why don’t you ask him out?”
“I just can’t-”
“And why not?”
“Because… it’s never the right time, I never get a chance, I don’t know-”
“Maybe I’ll help you find a chance”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Wait and see Y/N, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it”
/after class in a hallway/
Cory cornered Shawn before asking him again.
“Why. Have. You. Not. Asked. Y/N. Out, I know you’re in love Shawn, actually I think everyone knows”
“I don’t know how.”
“What? You’ve asked people out a million times before, what’s the difference?”
“The difference is… I really like Y/N, and I think I want a real lasting relationship with them I just- oh god they’re gonna think they’re just another two week-er”
“No, Shawn-”
“Just forget about it Cory…” Shawn said before walking off.
Cory turned around to see Topanga, who’d heard the entire thing, and had the same half shocked, half sympathetic look on her face as Cory did.
“I’m tired of seeing them pining over each other all the time” Angela said, walking up to Topanga and Cory.
“Agreed” Topanga nodded, “But how do we make them realise it themselves?”
They thought for a moment before Topanga spoke again.
“Actually… we could always play a game.”
“What game-” Cory responded in confusion
“7 minutes in heaven.”
“That’s not the worst idea-“ Angela spoke before she was interrupted by Cory.
“Oh come on, we’re not 12, in what circumstance would we ever possibly do that. Cory said, attempting to shut down the idea as a whole. “Honestly honey, I would be easier to just lock them in there-”
“CORY!”
“What, they’d get mad at us for a minute before realising they’re alone. together.”
“Cory we can’t just lock them in a closet, and honestly I think they’d be up for 7 minutes in heaven, they want to be together don’t they? This gives them a chance.”
“Angela’s right, now you get Shawn and we’ll get Y/N. Tell him we’re all just gonna hang out at your place. We take a few minutes of just talking before I propose the idea. Then for authenticity, when they agree, I’ll spin around with my eyes shut pointing at whoever will go in. To make sure it’s going to be them, cough when I’m pointing at them, we all understand the plan?”
Angela and Cory nodded.
“Great, meet at yours, 8 o’clock.”
/Cory’s house, 8pm/
All of you had gathered in Cory’s room and had been talking for a while before you finally said something about the huge pile of clothes on the floor, next to his empty closet.
“You rearranging or something?” You said as you gestured to the pile.
“Well actually” Cory said, standing up, “Topanga thought it would be fun if we played 7 minutes in heaven”
“Why exactly, Topanga?” Shawn questioned. His confused face was so cute, he scrunched his nose a bit and he put a hand on the back of his neck-
“I thought it would be nice if we all played some old games, y’know er- see if it’s any different now.”
“Er ok… well I’m in I guess, Y/N, Angela?” Shawn responded, still looking confused.
You and Angela nodded before Topanga stood up getting in the middle of the room and shutting her eyes.
“Ok everyone move around since I know here you are, and if I turn to a wall then I’ll go in”
You all did as she said, before she started spinning around with her finger out, pointing at whoever she turned to.
Cory coughed rather loudly just as Topanga had turned to Shawn.
Topanga smiled when she saw the plan piecing together.
“Well Shawn it is with……”
Shawn winked to no one in particularly before walking to lean against the closet as Topanga started spinning.
Cory coughed again as she turned to you.
“Y/N!”
Your eyes widened and you turned to look at Shawn who had the same expression, before he noticed you looking and quickly changed to a smirk.
“Well babe, c’mon in” he gestured to the closet before you both walked in.
Cory shut the doors, leaving you both in near complete darkness. It was small the two of you were pressed against each other slightly. You were about to say something before you heard Cory yell.
“OH NO I LOST THE KEY…”
Angela and Topanga looked at him with a surprised and slightly disappointed expression before Topanga whisper shouted at him.
“WHAT KEY, IT’S A CLOSET!!”
“I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT NEED MORE THAN 7 MINUTES!!” Cory whisper shouted back.
“YOU IDIOT”
“Key?” Shawn questioned.
“I think we just have to go with it” You replied.
“So….”
“…So…”
You looked down for a second before Shawn slowly brought his hands to yours, talking hold of them. You looked up at him and he pulled you closer.
“Y/N.” He quickly sighed nervously.
“Yeah?”
“I love you. I love you so much, I’ve been in love with you for ages, i-”
He paused to look at you, studying your expression. One of relief mixed with joy and… love.
“I love you too.”
“Y/N do you- do you wanna-”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Of course” you said as you took your hands away from his and wrapped them around him, and the leaning in to kiss him. He kissed you back, deeply, now holding your waist.
You made out for a while… a long while. You wanted him so badly you could just-
“HEY LOVEBIRDS IT’S BEEN HALF AN HOUR” Cory yelled.
“WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR KEY NOW?” Shawn yelled back.
“…YES.” Cory opened the doors and you and Shawn begrudgingly walked out, him putting one arm around you.
“So….?!” Topanga looked at you two.
“Yes we’re together.” You responded
“IT REALLY DID WORK-!” Cory said before Topanga covered his mouth with her hand.
“What worked?” Shawn questioned, looking at Cory.
“Nothing, just he’s happy you’re finally together” Angela responded.
You and Shawn looked at each other before sharing another kiss, which was followed by a number of ‘awwwww’s.
<3

Arthur and Teddy Are Coming Out by Ryan Love - 3/5 stars
The Fate of Stars by SD Simper - DNF at pg 32
A Gathering Storm by Joanna Chambers - 4.75/5 stars
I kept getting the Madame Leota room from Haunted Mansion stuck in my head as I was reading this (not a bad thing!). This book has a surprisingly low rating on the Storygraph, and I'm not going to torture myself by looking at the reviews, but I'm assuming it's because of the power discrepancy between Ward and Nick. Clearly it didn't bother me as I really enjoyed the book!
Dionysus in Wisconsin by EH Lupton - 4.75/5 stars
At some point I might get tired of Mid-Century Modern romances, but not this day. This book was super fun, with an interesting world and lovely characters. And a Midwest setting! I've spent a lot of time in Madison, Wisconsin, where this book is set, so I got the added bonus of knowing most of the places pretty well. There was even a shoutout to an obscure piece of Madison history, the Lost City in the Arb. I have to get the second book in the series now!boy
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan - 3.25/5 stars
I gave this book an extra quarter of a star for being written in 2003, when it would have been genuinely pretty groundbreaking. Reading it in 2024, it's very twee and pretty cringey (the queer utopia town would have been a magical fantasy in 2003, not so much now in a lot of places). When Levithan credited Francesca Lia Block's Weetzie Bat books in the acknowledgements, I though, ah. No wonder. Hated those as a teen.
All that said, there's some genuinely lovely writing in this book, and it has its place in the queer canon.
The Greywacke by Nick Davidson - 5/5 stars
Super interesting nonfiction about the discipline of geology and how the early geologic epochs were figured out. Also gave me an idea for a historical romance about gay Victorian geologists.
Home Grown Talent by Joanna Chambers & Sally Malcolm - 5/5 stars
I think I loved this one more than the first in the series. The social media scandal was perfect, in that it was exactly as absurd as every social media scandal is, and thus hilarious, but also chilling in how even something so stupid can ruin people's lives.
The First Bright Thing by JR Dawson - DNF at pg 1
Prince of the Sorrows by Kellen Graves - DNF at pg 30
Reuben's Hot & Cold by M Arbon - 3/5 stars
Slight Foxing Around the Edges by Melissa Polk - DNF at pg 132
Restored by Joanna Chambers - 5/5 stars
Balefire by Jordan L Hawk - 4.75/5 stars
A Rulebook for Restless Rogues by Jess Everlee - 4/5 stars
The Mars House by Natasha Pulley - 5/5 stars
See my brain vomit about this book here. If you've been around here for any amount of time you know all Natasha Pulley's books make me feral. Absolutely no exception here. I cannot believe her first UK publisher dropped her over this book. Idiots! It's wonderful just like everything she's ever written.
In the Case of Heartbreak by Courtney Kaye - DNF at pg 181
The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason - DNF at pg 21
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun - 5/5 stars (reread)
Just as good as the first time I read it!
Exhalation by Ted Chiang - 4.5/5 stars
The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic - DNF at pg 84
Crisped + Sere by TJ Klune - 4.75/5 stars
It actually kind of makes me mad that this series isn't Klune's most famous work, because it's real good. At this point it seems kind of unlikely he's going to continue it, but man, I'd love another book.
These Silent Stars by Chani Lynn Feener - DNF at pg 68
Trailer Park Trickster by David R Slayton - 5/5 stars
See below.
Deadbeat Druid by David R Slayton - David R Slayton - 5/5 star
I LOVE this series. Love love love love. Absolute must read. If you're a fan of KD Edwards's The Tarot Sequence, this series is right up your alley. It seems like there will be more after this initial trilogy, and there's also a spinoff book coming soon which I'm super excited for. Read them!!

“Nick touches me like he’s scared that any minute I could disintegrate forever. When we’re finally completely undressed he just stops and stares like he’s trying to memorise every second of this. When we’re moving he keeps saying my name over and over until I find it too ridiculous and tell him to shut up, but he just grins and keeps on saying it anyway, whispering it against my skin just to make me laugh. I hold him so tight against me, as if that’ll keep us here, keep him here with me. I used to think I was pathetic for thinking dumb, romantic stuff like that. I don’t any more. I just keep thinking it. I keep wanting him here. I keep wanting him to stay.”
-Nick and Charlie

Sarah: A New Bookseller Appears!!
Tumblr media
I’ve been a reader for as long as I can remember. I have wonderful memories of visiting the old downtown Bellevue Library on Main Street, signing up for the annual summer reading program at the Eastgate KCLS branch, and running my fingers along the spines of books at the University Bookstore whenever my family ate out at the nearby Azteca restaurant. My mom almost always bought me the latest Baby Sitter’s Club or Sweet Valley Twins book. I was such a devoted reader that I used to force my friends to lounge under our family’s ping-pong table and listen to me read aloud some of my favorite novels, including Fantastic Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach, and Wendy and the Bullies. It was a surprise to no one when I became a 6th grade reading teacher and then an elementary librarian!
In late 2020, deciding I needed a break from education, I applied to the Master’s in Children’s Literature program at Simmons University, not knowing where it would lead me, but excited by the prospect of a grand adventure. In July of 2021 my husband, daughter, dog and I moved across the country to Newton, MA so I could study children’s literature and, while I am so grateful for everything I learned and all the fabulous people we met, I can’t wait to be back in the Pacific Northwest, especially because I’ll be working at Island Books! I have always wanted to work at an independent bookstore, so having an opportunity to grow the children’s department, connect readers with books, and meet even more people who are passionate about kidlit is beyond exciting.
Tumblr media
I love all kinds of kids' books, from picture books to young adult novels, but I gravitate toward middle grade stories. I even produce the Happy Reading podcast, which spotlights middle grade books by topic. Some of my all-time favorite books include The Westing Game, the Vanderbeekers series, Boy Meets Boy, and Should I Share My Ice Cream? (an Elephant & Piggie book). Some more recent five-star reads include The Mona Lisa Vanishes, The First State of Being, The Color of Sound, and Dear Mr. G (I’m a sucker for picture books that make me cry).
When I’m not reading or browsing the shelves at my local library or bookstore, I also enjoy crocheting (I taught myself a few weeks ago and love it), baking, building with LEGO, planning our next Disney vacation, walking our adorable dog Jefferson, and watching movies with my family while snuggled up on the couch.
I can’t wait to start the next chapter of my life at Island Books!
