Summary
“I’ll have you know I manage to travel through this city unmolested on a daily basis, right, Thomas, so I can’t help but think I might be correct in deducing that this situation must be your doing."
“Not a situation yet,” Tommy said, but he was scanning the street ahead of them, alert as a stray cat.
Having just settled into a comfortable routine with a new companion, Alfie runs into the very man he’d been keeping himself occupied in order to forget.
An omegaverse AU.

Summary
If you’re in Heaven then you’ll forgive me, dear
Because that’s what they do up there
But if you’re in Hell, then what can I say
You probably deserved it anyway
I guess I’m gunna find out any day
For we will meet again
And there’ll be Hell to pay--Nick Cave

Summary
He looked at his hands shaking, still seeming red from being kept in a grip, and it was like after all those times, raw and ugly, and he didn’t get why, because it’d been so long. So long since the last time he lost himself that way.

Summary
Tommy hasn't told Alfie about the migraines. He doesn’t want him to know, needs to keep hold of some self-respect, the man already thinks he’s an emotional wreck, no need to prove he’s a physical one too. This secret doesn't want to be kept.

Summary
Tommy calls on Sunday, as promised.
She hasn’t told Charles about seeing his father last week. He’s struggling enough, the poor kid, without having his hopes raised. He’s taken the last few months so hard. Losing his sister, and barely seeing his father, and then Lizzie walking away from the marriage…it’s not been easy for him. Lizzie loves him with all her heart, and she’s selfishly glad that he chose to come with her, but she knows he’s having a tough time. She knows she can’t make up for what he lacks. For all Tommy’s faults, he’s still Charles’s father, and poor little Charlie desperately wants his father’s love and care. He doesn’t need to have his hopes raised just to be dashed yet again.
But the telephone rings at eleven o’clock on the dot.
Or: it will take a month of Sundays for Lizzie - and Charlie - to start forgiving Tommy.
