#Tucker Foley/Ashley Baker

[haveyoureadthisfanfic]

Summary: Someone made a wish, a vague one, with a lot of wiggle room, and Desiree granted it. Now Vlad is married to Maddie and they have two kids, Danny, and Elle. Their crazy best friend from college lives in a remodeled broadcast building with his daughter Jazz, when she's not away at college. Danny is a cheerleader and an A-lister at Casper High, and his little sister is a freshman rapidly gaining popularity by association. He would never associate with losers like Sam and Tucker. That's how it's always been, it's not a new thing. Except... some things don't add up. When Danny begins to have dreams about how things were before the wish, he looks more closely at all these discrepancies, and as per usual, all roads lead to the afterlife. But... who is Desiree, and how was she able to just alter reality like she did?

Here Are Your 2017 Emmys Comedy Nominees

Today, the nominations for the 2017 Primetime Emmys were announced. For comedy specifically, it’s probably what you expected.

Premium cable and streaming services continue to dominate the Emmys with Netflix and HBO coming out strong. FX also maintains its status as a premium cable network disguised as a basic cable network with its handful of nominations for Atlanta, Better Things, and Baskets. 

Colbert’s Election special and Sam Bee’s Not the WHCD thankfully were bestowed nominations here as well.

One thing that was a delightful surprise is Lauren Lapkus and Ben Schwartz gaining nominations for their performances in The Earliest Show, a web series that followed a morning talk show with one of the hosts going through all the stages of grief.
