    Summary

    One summer day, two unlikely paths cross in the alley behind Bonnet Group’s towering skyscraper: Stede is at the end of his rope, and Ed’s just taking a smoke break. Of course, after they’ve become inseparable, Ed’s past catches up to him as Stede tries to find a way out of his own obligations, and the solace they’ve found in each other is threatened.

     
    “You’re freaking out in here,” Lucius says, shutting the door behind himself. He grabs two rocks glasses from the bar cart and a decanter of the good whisky and sets it all on Stede’s desk.

    “Astute,” Stede declares. “I’ve asked Ed on a date.”

    “Ooh, Mr. Mechanic?” Lucius simpers, and Stede blushes. “Haven’t you two been dating for weeks?”

    “Wh—No, we’re friends!” He says.

    “Oh, my God, you can’t be serious,” Lucius says.

    Summary

    "Jack’s a clever kid—has been ever since he was born, maybe even before that—but Dean’s pretty sure he hasn’t figured out where they’re going yet. And Dean’s… Dean’s excited about it. He remembers planning surprises for Sammy when they were little—saving up quarters and sneaking off to the arcade the year he turned seven, or slipping a book Dean had seen Sammy admiring into his jacket before sprinting out of the store the year he turned twelve. There was only so much Dean could give him back then, hindered by lack of finances and transportation and a father who paid attention. Now, though, Dean’s got a wallet full of cash, a tank full of gas, and the freedom to give his kid the kind of birthday he deserves."

    Or, it's Jack's fourth birthday, and the kid wants to go to Build-A-Bear.

    Summary

    Follow up to my tattoo artist Joe/florist Nicky au:
    Booker has been a certified Hot Mess ever since his wife left him. What followed was a flurry of alcohol and one night stands, therapy, relapse, and therapy again. Then came Nile.
    Nile had not been impressed by Booker when they had first met. Did she like him? Yes, very much so, but the man was undoubtedly a mess. Until the traumatising day when she realises he's picked his life up and... oh no. He's hot.
