Summary
It’s unfortunate to be sitting in one now, gnawing at his nails as he tries to keep his head above water. His knee bounces, and with every bounce, his brand new Vans squeak against the tile floor. Not broken in yet. He bought them on sale as a Christmas gift for himself three months ago, and just hadn’t felt the urge to wear them yet, but he finally wore a hole in the sole of his other pair and today is his first day wearing them and they’re uncomfortable and he just wants to scream. Had he known he would be driving three and a half hours today, he would have just sucked it up and wore the old pair. But these things are unpredictable.
At least, most of the time. Jack knew something was wrong. He knew something would happen. He just didn’t know it would be this bad, and he hates himself for it.

Summary
Something deep inside him told David that it was manipulation. Children were already easy to manipulate, let alone a kid like Les. He was stubborn, but loyal to a fault. When Jack started signing with him, that was an open invitation for Les to decide he was good no matter how many times David and Sarah explained that knowing sign language doesn’t make them a good person. Somehow, Les still hadn’t fully accepted that.
David couldn’t blame him too much. The kid lived in a world where people overwhelmingly thought of him like a pet more than a child and he’d never gotten to experience the deaf school back home. Les had never experienced the ability to just live–if someone had taken the time to learn an extra language and communicate with him, they were on his side. While it was a nice idea and the last thing anyone wanted Les to do was grow up quicker, it wasn’t true and he’d get hurt sooner or later.
David just had a feeling that ‘later’ would come sooner with Jack in the picture.

Summary
She gets a text from him on a Tuesday evening that reads: 'You're the best sister I ever could've asked for in a million years. I love you so so much.'
It's out of the blue, which is odd. They're not really casually affectionate with each other— they rarely even say I love you because it goes unspoken. They're twins, of course they love each other. They don't need to put it into words.
'Everything okay?' she texts back. 'I love you too.'

Summary
A trip to New York in the summer of 2014 wasn't supposed to be life-changing; David had only been there for a friend. One ghostly encounter later, and he finds himself waking up in 1898. Adjusting to a new life, a new society with new people, is difficult enough, but David just had to go and get himself involved in a strike, all because one of the newsies has very familiar eyes.
Or, an Outlander AU, but make it gay newsboys.

Summary
All that Jack Kelly wants is time and space to create, and what better place to escape to than the Metropolitan Museum of Art? But Jack doesn't expect to find a hidden society of people who've had the same idea, and he certainly doesn't expect the mysterious blue-eyed boy in their charge. Loosely based on Stephen Sondheim's Evening Primrose.

Summary
The most noticeable mark he had wasn’t even a scar, it was the bruises across his knuckles that barely seemed to fade and never seemed to heal. Occasionally they made it all the way to yellow before the bruises were suddenly fresh again. Red to blue to purple to green to yellow, then back to red. Sometimes fresh bruises were accompanied with a bruised nose or eyes, telling him whoever his soulmate was had likely lost the fight or at least had a harder one, but not often.
And the bruises on his knuckles never went away.
