Alternate History

Stories in this category are written within the accepted history of the show, sometimes with a few minor changes to suit my purposes, since no one is paying me to fix the show. Most of my stories are usually in this category as there are too many storylines that have promising beginnings only for the writers to take the easy way out at all times.

The stories have been divided into sections based on the Liason time period. All but two of the stories center Jason and Elizabeth, so if you’re looking a specific time period, this is a good way to do it. I’ve created empty sections for years I haven’t written yet mostly because I’m sure I will eventually. I’ve also included a few upcoming stories to flesh out some of the empty sections.

Stories Set in 1997 – 2000

These stories are set between 1997 and 2000. At the moment, there are no stories that are published but a few that are in the pipeline. Stories set during this period would either be alternative versions of how Elizabeth moved to Port Charles (Kismet) or take place after their August 1999 meeting at Jake’s. They will also cover Jason’s return in the summer of 2000.

Hits Different

Set March 1996. Semi-Alternate Universe. Set 1996. Jason Quartermaine woke up from a coma without a single memory of his first twenty-four years.

First, they cut off his access to a trust fund that’s supposed to be his. Then they get him fired from any job he can find.

Karma

Set in December 1997. Written for #GHWhoDunIt @ Liason Haven. Jason Morgan made a hasty decision to help out Carly Roberts when it seemed like the Quartermaines were threatening to take her unborn child away from her. He agreed to pretend to be the baby’s father until she gave birth and could leave town. Unfortunately, he didn’t do the math and now everyone thinks he cheated on ex-girlfriend, Robin Scorpio, including Elizabeth Webber, the nursing student he’s been flirting with for a few weeks.

Carly is under her own pressure as former friend, Lorraine Miller, isn’t happy just covering up the paternity and keeping the truth about Carly’s past a secret. She’s demanding Carly pay up for the privilege of staying quiet. Tony Jones and AJ Quartermaine are demanding paternity tests and making threats, and everywhere Carly goes, it looks like someone is out to get her. She thought she had a chance to get Jason back when he agreed to help her, but nursing school rival Elizabeth is standing in her way. Everyone who knows Carly hates her.

Just after midnight on New Year’s, Carly’s body is discovered in the hospital supply closet. Which of her many enemies sliced and diced her? And what will they do to cover it up?

Kismet

Set December 1997. Jason is the newly minted, inexperienced leader of the Port Charles underground. Elizabeth is the black sheep nursing student at General Hospital. They meet over the bleeding body of Nikolas Cassadine, the victim of a drive-by shooting at Luke’s Club that might have been targeted at Jason. When they both end up at the PCPD, arrested for simply breathing, the attraction between them is immediate.

But life is never that simple in Port Charles, and Jason has a lot of baggage—an ex-girlfriend he might still be in love with, the ex-friend with benefits who is about to drag him into another crazy scheme, the woman his best friend stood up at the altar on his way out of town, and the controlling family still desperate to drag Jason back home at any cost.

Can Elizabeth see past all of this drama and give Jason a chance? Or are there just one too many secrets to deal with?

Signs of Life

Set December 1999. No one even knew they were friends until Nikolas Cassadine announced Jason and Elizabeth were sleeping together at the annual hospital Christmas Party, and now, suddenly everyone wants to weigh in on the subject. It’s not true, of course, but that’s never stopped Port Charles before.

At first it’s amusing when her grandmother and his sister pass judgment, but things quickly get serious when Anthony Moreno’s body surfaces in the Port Charles harbor, and their fictional relationship might be Jason’s only chance to stay out jail. Elizabeth can alibi him, and after all, only Bobbie and Carly know he was shot. They’re not telling anyone, right?

Until Carly decides she needs Jason’s help in yet another desperate scheme, and she’ll use any leverage at hand to make him dance her to her tune.

Counting Stars

Once, they were nothing more than passing ships in the night, friends who shared the occasional meaningful conversation sitting on a bench on Elm St. Pier. But everything changed in December with a dance, a gunshot, and an adulterous one-night stand. Elizabeth found Jason in the snow, bleeding and nearly frozen, and dragged him back into the world of the living, one spoonful of soup at a time. Now there are no words for how they feel about each other.

But the real world was always waiting outside to pop the bubble. It soon becomes clear that Jason’s future can’t be in Port Charles, but Elizabeth isn’t ready to give up on the home and family she’s built here.

He can’t stay, but she can’t leave. He heads out of town with a bittersweet “see you later” but forgetting her will be even harder than leaving her.

Stories set in 2005

Stories set in 2005 are a mixed bag, and there aren’t a lot of them. Jason and Elizabeth didn’t share a lot of scenes after the early part of the year. They’re in relationship with Lucky and Sam. This is kind of the low point of Liason interaction (until we get to 2010, where apparently they had three scenes together in total).

Somebody Save Me

Set in October 2005. When Manny is injured, he kidnaps Elizabeth to take care of him. Then he doesn’t let her go, learning of her connection to Jason. Will Jason come to her rescue, even when he doesn’t remember her?

I have a great story planned for the fall of 2008 and some ideas for 2007 coming up in flash fiction this fall.

Michael has cut ties with the Corinthos clan, devastated by the betrayal of his adopted father, by the secrets of his mother, and the loss of the father he’d only begun to love. Monica is eager to welcome him into the family—he’s all that she has left since she’s buried all four of her children.

Or so she thinks.

Off the coast of Greece, Victor Cassadine hands Robin Scorpio a shocking assignment — wake Jason Morgan from the coma he’s been in for the last five years. If she fails, she’ll forfeit Jason’s life and her own, never to return to her husband and daughter. If she succeeds — Jason can go home to take his life back from the con artist wearing his face—the man who went off the pier in 2012.

And maybe, just maybe, Victor will let Jason return with the other secret resident of Cassadine Island.
