A/U story. What if Chuck and Sarah were a couple from the very beginning? How would that change the evolution of the stories? Here's my take on answering those questions. This story is, internally, broken up into arcs which (sort of, mostly) conform to episodes of the show. There's a rough table of contents on my profile page. Reading them in order is suggested.

Set between "Chuck vs The Other Guy" and "Chuck vs. The Honeymooners" A mostly fluffy narrative of Chuck and Sarah adjusting to their new and wonderful roles in each other's lives. Despite an intense start, and a few dark memories, it's mostly laughter, reminiscing, light -hearted regrets, teasing and other couply things. Ultimately Charah. Rated M for sexuality and some violence.

Created with the idea of trying to retell the show from Sarah's perspective. This will be accomplished in a variety a ways ranging from a narrative retelling of a particular episode to a more creative method of story telling. I plan to trying to do all 91 episodes. I do not plan to alter the established cannon, only fill in some gaps, and try to get inside Sarah's head.
