Rating/Warning(s): PG-13. Language, sex
Genre: Romance, Angst
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Too many reasons! I have loved this movie my whole life and it always saddens me to think how things probably didn't work out great for Bender and Claire once the credits rolled. I think this author got it just right, the connection between the two remains intact even as their lives take them in different directions. Lovely, lovely read.

Rating/Warning(s): Mature
Genre: Romance, Angst
WIP?: no

Why This Must Be Read: Because it is told from Jake Ryan's pov and is funny, and charming, and very hot. Leaving off right where the movie ends this fic takes us through the rush of first love. Jake is eager and a little frightened, while Sam is fearless. So freakin good. If you've ever considered reading a fic for this fandom this is the one.
