Summary
"Who's fantastic idea was it to do this?" He grumbled, snatching the blanket held out to him and throwing it vaguely in the direction of the ground. There was no way in hell he was smoothing it out, someone else could do it.
"Yours. 'Dave, we should do somethin' fun for Les and Charlie and I 'ave the perfect idea'." David said in a bad approximation to Jack's accent.
Crutchie yawned, whacking Jack with his crutch, "It's a good idea, but why so late?"
Les giggled and nudged Crutchie, "Wuss."

Summary
“What was she like?”
“My ma?” Jack looked taken aback. His cigarette hung from his pink lips. David bit his own lip.
“Yes,” Davey asked. Perhaps it was too intrusive but they had been friends for so long and he knew so little about Jack. He knew what he saw. He knew the Jack there before him, yet he never quite knew how such a person came to be. Davey had once, and sometimes still, fancied that Jack had manifested out of thin air, a fully formed enigma who existed to enchant, bedevil, or mystify everyone who came into contact with him.
or
David and Jack confront death, grow up, and live a little.

Summary
“Dad, I just really need to talk to you. I just need, like… twenty minutes or something. I know I’ve been fucking awful and you’ve got every right to not want me around, I just—I don’t have anyone else. I mean,” he laughed a bit bitterly and sadly, “I’m callin’ you, prob’ly the first person with any right to clock me when you see me.”
The line clicked, then there was a moment of silence. For a moment, David thought the voicemail system had cut off his rambling.
“David? Are you still there?”

Summary
Sarah Jacobs is in love with Jack Kelly. She knows (though she shouldn't) that her brother David is also in love with Jack. Katherine and David love each other, too, in their own way. With Katherine's help, Sarah is going to make sure everyone gets to be happy.
In other news, Jack and David uncover a conspiracy against the railroad unions, Katherine finds a new story in a familiar location, and Sarah finds herself drawn into the work of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
(Or, the fic in which the author has historical notes at the end, and tries her best to explain the complexities of marriages and same-sex relationships in the 1900s - while also letting her characters push the boundaries of said relationships.)
