    Summary

    “What?!” Porco asked, and his confusion only made Colt laugh more; his stomach felt like it was going to bruise. “What is it?!”

    “Um, Porco,” Colt said, barely managing to speak through his giggles. He wasn't even sure what was so funny about the conversation anymore. “I don't know how to break this to you, but I knew your brother.”

    (OR: In which Colt and Porco go out for drinks, and Colt tells the story of how he made his first friend; Marcel.)

    Summary

    Marco Bodt used to be a great rider- until an accident left him with shattered nerves and a wariness of anything to do with the giant black horse he used to love like a brother. He's given up riding for good, though still helps out at his mother's struggling riding stables. But his way of life is in trouble; Bodt's Riding Stables has a challenger in the form of the elite Trost Riding Academy, who prize winning over anything else. As tensions rise between the two stable yards, an unlikely grace appears in the form of one Jean Kirschtein, who spends the summer at the Bodt stables to settle a dispute. Jean is determined to get Marco back in the saddle by the end of the summer, and as the pair get closer it looks like he'll get his wish...

    No Reins is a story about loyalty, horsemanship and the desire for something better- along with a speckling of love along the way, of course!

    I will try to keep the Jean Horse Jokes to a minimum, I promise.

    Summary

    My name is Jean Kirschtein, and I have a shit job. I'm basically a garbage man. And by 'garbage' I mean 'very angry dead people.' I guess it has its perks sometimes, though; I get to meet all kinds of interesting people.

    Summary

    Bookstore AU. At Survey Books, 27 year old Marco Bodt is lucky enough to be friends with everyone he works with, until grade-A jerk Jean Kirchstein transfers from another store, and in spite of his bad attitude, Marco can’t seem to help but fall for him. Too bad Jean is oblivious and/or just plain stubborn, and everyone else thinks this is Marco’s worst idea ever. But in retail, you end up spending a lot of time with your coworkers regardless of what you want, and Marco will do his best to make every interaction with Jean count until they get somewhere. Or at least until Jean gets less awful.
