You Know You Won’t Get Back Your Dad’s Old Sweater by SparrowAce

Summary
The thing about Glenn was that their relationship was best summed up like this: Glenn’s number was one of extremely few that Jodie would allow to pass through his Do Not Disturb, because, if Glenn needed help badly enough that he was calling Jodie, especially during a time when he’d be asleep, then he’d be damned if the call didn’t go through, but, for the most part, Jodie thought that Glenn was a mess and somewhat of a fuck-up, though he wouldn’t say that to his face.
or:
“You know what?” Glenn asked suddenly. Jodie did not know. “Here. Take it. Someone should have it. Just- yeah.”
“You want- me?”
“Keeps it in the family, at least. What, too punk for Mr. Respectable Cop?”

And There Are Things in Your Life/That You Were Made to Run Away From by SparrowAce

Summary
(But it’s not your grief, or your pain, or any other kind of love)
The first time Glenn left on tour after Morgan died, he rationalised that they needed money. It was an easy deflection of guilt; he needed money to keep Nick alive, Nick would survive not having Glenn around for a few weeks, but he wouldn’t survive there not being any food on the table, so, Glenn packed up his guitar and got onto the big stage and did enough drugs that the next few weeks were hazy at best.
That first time, it was just two weeks. Two weeks where Glenn was gone, and then he was right back to home, spending tons of time with Nick and even teaching him a few guitar chords, cheering him on as his little fingers plucked at the strings.
But the trips kept getting longer, and the rationalisation kept changing.

Summary
Once, Glenn asks which of the dogs is Ron's, but, when Ron tells him he doesn't own any of them; he just likes dogs a lot, but he doesn't actually have one yet, Glenn's lips twitch into a smile.
“You know what? I think you've got the right idea, man. Good way to meet new dogs while you wait. New people too, maybe.”
Or:
When Ron meets Glenn, he thinks he's a pretty cool guy. Henry and Darryl disagree.

Summary
“I was just…” Nick fidgeted silently for a couple of moments before Glenn tossed one of the tangler fidget toys dotted throughout their house, before continuing- “Why didn't you tell them off?” The words exited in a rush.
“To be entirely transparent with you,” He made eye contact with Nick, the kind that said I’m being serious right now, “That would have felt real fucking good, and it would have been acting exactly the way they wanted.”

Or: The Close family? Talking about their feelings? More likely than you'd think

Anything That Got Me To Leave My Fucking Room This Winter by SparrowAce

Summary
Nick pursed his lips, eyes still focused on the snow outside, though now there was a new question occupying his mind. How was he feeling?
“I’ve been better,” He responded, a bit of weariness slipping unintentionally into his tone.
Jodie hummed understandingly, and there was the sound of wood creaking, presumably as he leaned on the door frame. “One of those days, huh? Here- your dad’s going to be running a bit late, traffic and whatnot, so I was thinking we might make some cookies while we wait for him, and, when he gets back, we can decorate them and then see about cooking that fancy pasta Glenn’s been craving. How does that sound?”
If there was anything Nick appreciated about his uncle- and, sure, there were a few things- it was how he always seemed to have a plan. Something happened, and by the time Nick had even started to process any of it, Jodie was already telling everyone what to do about it.
"Yeah, okay."
