"Who would I tell? You're the one everyone idolizes."

Fanfiction is a wild, wonderful landscape. But every so often, a premise comes along that is so specific, so emotionally charged, and so logistically tangled that it leaves readers crying for a "fix." Enter the niche but beloved scenario: "Ellie Idol Sister Sleeps in Your Room While AU Fix."

Long pause. She flips over. Her face is inches from yours in the blue light of a phone charger.

"I hate that. Being the idol. You're the only one who lets me just be... tired. That's why I wanted your room. Not the couch. Yours ."

(hesitating, then climbing in stiffly, her back to you): "Don't tell anyone I'm here."

(turning on your side, risking everything): "Hey. The floor looks miserable. Just get up here."
