Tbh, it’s since I saw that there’s a ‘YOU’ book called ‘You love me’ and a Gossip Girl book called ‘You know you love me’ that I knew I would ended up writing a crossover XD
Setting: Season 5 of GG meets season 4 of YOU, but both will be VERY alternate
More specifically: This take places after 5x19 (Gossip Girl) and during 4x1 (YOU):Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my crazy ideas, everything belongs to the amazing Cecily Von Ziegesar and the TV authors and to the marvelous Caroline Kepnes, Netflix etc
IMPORTANT: In order to do this crazy thing I must do an even crazier one: just pretend that season 5 of ‘Gossip Girl’ didn’t happen in 2012 but 2022.
I mean, thank God it’s not set in the ‘90s , so Blair, Serena&Co could perfectly dress up that way even in 2022.
Probably this would bring to an improved ‘Gossip Girl’ with socials, Apps, but.. whatever ;P
Prologue: Just like Ross with Joey and Rachel!
New York, Upper East Side
So I’m leaving this weary town
Please, no grieving
My love, understand
Can’t you see, I’m sick of fighting
Can’t you tell, I’ve lost my way
Look at me, there’s no denying
I won’t last another day
All my dreaming torn in pieces now
(‘A Million Little Pieces’ by Placebo)
Serena Van Der Woodsen checks if she took all she needs.
She doesn’t even know how long she’ll be away, she could need every sort of clothes.
She knows that Blair is not home, because she’s at Dan’s place for a breakfast together.
-It hurts even thinking of that, let alone seeing it. I just have to go from here, as soon as possible. -
Losing her first true love.
And also losing a job she loved so much.
Just because she tried to stop a war between her family and… who just pretended to be part of it.
And she failed.
There’s really nothing that keeps Serena there anymore.
-Wait, there’s still something, but it can be easily solved. -
She opens the precious laptop she had received some days before by the Devil himself.
More like a She Devil.
She searches for the private message from ‘XOXO44’ that for reasons she didn’t delete.
Maybe because deep inside she feels like a thief, after all.
She types her reply.
‘You’re right. It has been fun being you for a while, but I ended up doing even more damage than you usually do. It's time for the real Gossip Girl to come back.’
The second message she sent her not only contains the password, but also the address to retrieve the laptop.
Of course she can’t leave it there, it’s safer inside a locker near the MET of which she’ll provide the combination of the lock.
There’s only one last thing she has to do.
She inserts the goodbye letter she wrote in an envelope and places it on Blair’s desk.
She closes her big trolley, puts on top of it her matching beauty case, securing it; she grabs the laptop she’ll hide on her way, wears her long Louis Vuitton Textured Wool champagne fur coat and leaves the Waldorf Penthouse.
She makes sure no one sees her as she gets on a cab and asks the driver to take her away from her misery.
She needs a quiet place, alone from events, clubbing and revelries.
- Reading will be the perfect place for me. Just a quick stop to London and then… goodbye, excesses, welcome, healthier style of life!-
------------------------------------------
“My dad is clearly growing fond of you: he prepared special waffles for you, with all your favourite tastes that he asked me about.” Dan smiles at Blair as they stroll hand in hand, heading towards 1136 Fifth Avenue.
“Which I really appreciated. Just like the fact Lily doesn’t seem to look at me anymore as if I was the main cause of all her daughter’s woes! Now she’s showing a little more love towards me." Blair sighs as she presses the button to call the elevator.
“It’s impossible not to love you and everyone should better get accustomed soon to the fact that you and I are officially together now, because I mean for it to last for a very long time.” Dan caresses her face with the back of his hand.
“The longer, the better!” She beams, kissing him in the elevator.
“Awww, this tasted even sweeter than my dad’s waffles!” He makes her giggle.
“I know, love, but no more kissing when we are inside. Serena is supposed to be there and I know she says she’s okay with that, but I prefer to make things gradual for her.” She explains.
“I agree.” He nods, before stopping the elevator. “It just means I’m gonna need much more kissing to resist.” He gently pushes her against the wall.
He smashes his mouth to hers, before descending on her neck, as his hands unbutton her red Chanel coat and tartan Vivienne Westwood shirt, because he needs much more access.
And she doesn’t complain at all.
“Serena, are you there?” Blair calls her out, as they enter the Penthouse.
Once she is perfectly buttoned up again, of course.
She doesn’t receive any answer.
“Serena?” Dan tries as well, with the same result.
Even he assured himself that all the buttons of his shirt are in the right place and that Blair’s hickies are properly hidden.
“It seems she’s not here. Maybe someone asked her out.” Blair assumes.
“Or maybe Nate changed his mind and gave her her job back.” Dan positis.
“Whatever the reason is, it means just one thing...” Blair winks at Dan, her eyes full of lustful expectations.
“More time to spend utterly alone and undisturbed.” He finished the sentences for her, as she leads him to her bedroom.
“If I had known before we were alone I would have saved all that strenuous kissing in the elevator!” He pretends to complain.
Blair wraps one hand around his nape, as the other bossily grabs his curly hair.
“So strenuous that I suppose you had no energy left for… other demanding activities?” She teases him, acting worried.
He pushes her on the bed, straddling her the second after.
“I’ll show you who has no energy anymore!”
-------------------------
“I’m still trying to figure out why the very first time the sex didn’t work between us…” Dan murmurs, sitting on the bed as he cuddles Blair, on his lap, both very pleased, panting and naked, as their clothes lie on the floor, scattered everywhere.
“And we were even about to break up, missing the chance to have all… this.” She caresses his face, getting more comfortable on his chest.
“How stupid would have we been?” Dan wonders, leaning down to kiss her.
“The stupidest human beings of the whole planet!” She answers against his lips, before getting up.
“I have such a full day, so many places to be at.” She explains, as she dresses up again, starting from her underwear.
“Yeah, me too, I have a couple of meetings with my editors…” Dan informs her, as he collects his boxers.
- And something very important to retrieve near the MET! -
“And I hope you agree with me that we couldn’t have motivated each other in a better way to face our day.” She adds, grabbing her bra on her desk.
And that’s when she notices a letter.
“That’s odd. It wasn’t here before.” She mumbles, opening it. “Oh no.”
“What’s wrong?” Dan immediately reaches her.
“It’s from Serena.” Blair reveals, as they both read it together:
Dan, Blair,
if you’re reading this I’ll already be gone, nowhere to be found.
Please, don’t get me wrong.
I’m happy for you two, guys, I really am; but it’s that kind of happiness that I need to watch from a distance.
I wish you the best, but I have to go.
Every day more I spent here was killing me.
I feel like I'm losing myself, I’m losing the right direction.
And I had to do something to find both.
Dan, my love, please, don’t be sad for me, just try to understand.
And also you, Blair.
At the end of this journey I’ll learn not to refer to you, Dan, as my love.
Just leave me alone for a while, licking my wounds, before coming back stronger and happier than before.
Your true friend
Serena
“I knew it!” Blair paces nervously back and forth. “It’s just like Ross with Joey and Rachel! When Ross pretends that everything is okay although Rachel and Joey fell in love, but at the end he freaks out!”
“Huh?’ Are you saying that Blair Waldorf watches funny sit-coms?”
“This means that you watch them as well, dear my intellectuallish!”
“Yeah.. so does this situation make me the fashion addicted Rachel?’
“And me… the stupid but sexy Joey?’’ Blair frowns, disappointed,
“I agree with the sexy part, especially now that you’re still wearing only your lingerie…” He murmurs, as he finishes buttoning his shirt.
She smiles at him and kisses him for a while, but then she backs off, annoyed.
“Humphrey, there’s no time for smooching, we have a very busy day to face!” She pushes him away, finishing to dress up. “And not less important, a friend to find.”
Dan frowns.
“Did we read the same letter? Because in the one I read Serena asked for some time on her own.” Dan makes her notice.
Blair sneers.
“It’s not the first time I do something against Serena’s will, and certainly it won’t be the last!”
“Blair…”
“No need for the blaming tone, Dan. I’m not planning anything evil. I just want to make sure she’s fine. It’s what good friends do.”
------------------------------------------------------------------
London, Kings Cross St Pancras Station
There wasn’t much I used to need
A smile would blow a summer breeze to my heart
Now my mistakes are haunting me
Like winter came and put a freeze to my heart
I’ve lost the power to understand
what it takes to be a man with my heart
I saw you wanted this to end
You tried your best to be a friend to my heart
(‘A Million Little Pieces’ by Placebo)
Joe Goldberg ponders about the events of the last days, as he’s patiently waiting for a certain someone to catch the train to Paris.
His baseball cap well fixed on his head, to make him feel better hidden whenever he’s up for some action.
And this is one of those days.
- When exactly did my life turn into this mess? Can’t I just go back to the days where my only needed source of happiness were books? And okay, sometimes some fleeting smile from some girl entering Mooney’s.
R.I.P. Beck. In this case we went far beyond the fleeting smiles.
Why does my past can’t allow me to breathe, at least one day? -
And finally he sees Marienne coming from a distance.
He braces himself, ready to strike.
- I’m just going to set you free, Marienne, it’s for your own good. Consider it a way for me to thank you for the good times we had, when your heart used to be a friend of mine. But I know that good things come to an end, but I promise I’m going to make it the least bitter possible. I won’t let that Elliot-retired-hit-man-guy have what he asked for! -
His plan is so premeditated that it just works perfectly.
He pushes a passer-by, making him crash against Marienne who startles at first, then places her coffee on a bench and rushes to help the innocent man.
Just the slight distraction Joe needs in order to go and rip her necklace off, disappearing, before she can see him.
-This way Elliot will believe I followed his orders. I feel like the Hunter when he deceived the evil Snow White’s Stepmother. I guess it’s time to re-read the Grimm’s fairytales. He thinks, amused, before someone bumps into him.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking straight and…” A girl with a very sweet voice apologizes.
“Huh! Don’t worry, it’s stuff that can happen when you’re in a rush and need to catch a train!” He politely answers, finally looking at her.
-Who’s this girl with such a bright smile, endless hair made of gold and the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life? And… wait, why did she change her expression and now she’s staring at me… with so much shock?- He wonders, puzzled.
“Dan?!”
Joe frowns even more.
- Why did she just call me with a name that’s not mine? Well it’s not that even the one I’ll go around with here is my real name, but that’s not the point! - He argues with himself, before growing concerned.
“Hey… are you feeling okay?” He asks the blond, gorgeous girl.
And clearly she’s not, since she’s about to pass out.
Lucky for her, Joe has remarkable reflexes and takes her in his arms before she touches the ground.
-What. The. Fuck?-

In case you’re not familiar with YOU, most of the time everything is seen through his eyes; that’s why so far I’ve always written from his POV, but since for this crossover I chose the third person he gets to be the one with more inner thoughts, LOL.
fun fact: in the stories about Joe I usually write the bluest eyes he ever seen are Bronte’s, but this is the exception that proves the rule! XD
Hope you like this idea, there’s so much that has to happen!
I know, not Chuck, but he will arrive too, just gimme time ;)
Oh, I don’t think there’s need to say it, but in case someone is wondering, the sit com Blair and Dan were talking about is ‘Friends’ ;P
And I decided that Placebo (one of my fave bands ever)’s songs will be the background of every chapter, both because they’re so inspiring that they gave me ideas for some scenes or because they fit perfectly the scenes I already planned.
So, in case you don’t like the fic, for sure you will like the songs ;P
Well, it would be awesome to start the new year with a bit of feedback. I'd really, really like to know what you think… but thanks already for reading.
Happy 2026!!!
