    Summary

    When did his life become this? It used to be so much easier. Now all he does is worry about how to make it to the next day.
    He wants his old life back. It was stolen from him and he wants it back.
    But that world is gone. That David is, too.

     

    Or: 5 times David was homesick and 1 time he puts things in perspective.

    Summary

    “I think that went good,” he smiled to Davey.

    “Yeah, it did,” he replied shortly. It was fucked up. Les deserved an apology, obviously. What about everyone else? No one else got an apology for any of it?

    Maybe it was just him. Maybe Jack just wasn’t apologizing to David.

    He fucking hated New York.

    Summary

    “What about friends?” Jack asked.
    A small smile crept on to the other boy’s face as he grabbed Jacks hands and linked his two pointer fingers together and then switched them.
    “Friends,” David said as he signed it on his own.
    “Is that what we are?” He asked. Jack just nodded his head as he focused on how to make the sign look as perfect as David’s.

    There in a quiet classroom, empty of everybody but two boys, a friendship began.

    Summary

    All eyes turned to him. David sped out of his room in a hurry, apparently not as hypnotized by his work as he seemed just a minute ago.

    Jack froze. The noise had startled him, and, surveying the mess of glass and water and dying tulips lying miserably on the rug, his throat began to close up on him.

    Summary

    There were two factors that went into being a children’s birthday party magician: the ability to face the worst critics (children) and the ability to do magic. Jack Kelly had neither.

    Summary

    "Ooh, you can dance! You can jive! Having the time of your life..." Jack sang along loudly. "C'mon Davey, this is on the Good Shit Disc for a reason!"

    David let his head thump against the window, but he picked it up quickly since it was vibrating obnoxiously due to the music.

    "You are the dancing queen! Young and sweet, only seventeen!"

    Jesus Fuck, this was gonna be a long drive.

    David takes Jack home to meet his family. Rated for language and, like, one sexually suggestive line.

    Summary

    When David Jacobs thought of himself, a few traits came to mind; thoughtful, patient, and accepting of change. Change was fine, good even, when he observed it happening around him. It was how the world progressed, and he was perfectly okay with that. It was a fact of life. However, the very night after he'd been beaten by police, the wheels of change began to turn not only around him, but within him. And that, he wasn't sure he was okay with.

    Summary

    When their father loses his job after being injured in a factory accident, Sarah and David Jacobs know they'll have to take on additional work to support their family – David selling newspapers, and Sarah helping around the house. But when Sarah concocts a plan for the twins to take each other's place without their parents knowledge, events quickly spiral, leading to (among other incidents) a city-wide strike, mistaken identity, and two (or maybe three – or possibly four) star-crossed romances.
