Pairing: Rossi/Strauss
Rating: TEEN

Summary: “I might have to put this at the top of the list of worst New York trips ever.”
Author’s Note: This episode tore me up on the inside. I can't really handle all that happened so I had to change it to fit my fanon lines and keep my sanity. I don’t usually write Erin as an alcoholic but it was such a huge part of the storyline. I want to thank all the fans and friends who comforted me and made me smile as I was losing it, especially rebakitt3n who read over this before I posted it. I love this character, I love this ship, and I just hope to keep going as long as I can.

Pairing: Rossi/Strauss
Rating: TEEN
Summary: “You don’t like social networking sites?” It was difficult to conceal her skepticism. “You’re a walking social networking site, David.”
Author’s Note: This is #5 in the Young Americans series. I haven’t written this one in awhile but I knew I wanted to write something for the Art Spree for Erin on Tumblr. Also, I was looking through the Elle Fanning tags and Elle is definitely young teen Erin in my mind. I was excited when these characters popped into my mind.

Summary: He’d been out of the DC grapevine a long time but it seemed strange that that tidbit didn’t make it to his door.
Author’s Note: This story is built entirely on listening to India.Arie’s cover of The Heart of the Matter too many times and just feeling Dave and Erin. I had no choice but to write it.

Summary: “This is a bad idea. This is a Shakespearean tragedy bad idea.”
Author’s Note: I played fast and loose with some things like movies and music but only within a year or two. Also, some of the places in this New York are real and some just exist in my mind. I don’t want the story to be full of inaccuracies but at the same time sometimes what’s perfect in my mind is the way I have to write it. I don’t think it takes away from the story in any way.
