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.

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.

Summary
Jean has it all: the great job, the nice apartment, the beautiful car, a regular, rotating cast of women and men in and out of his bed. He's living the dream, doing exactly what he always said he'd do with his life... so why is he so unhappy?
Enter his best friend Hitch, who convinces him to come to a yoga class with her, promising lots of hot ladies for Jean to ogle at (and one that she's got her own eye on). What Jean never expected was to fall in with a group of yoga wonks, slowly becoming a part of their lives, and discovering that maybe there's more to life than what everyone else says he should want. He also never expected the class to be led by a dark-eyed, beautifully freckled young man, who gives out the most infuriating mixed signals imaginable. Is he interested? Is he not? Does he even care about sex at all?
Whatever it is, Jean is determined to find out, because he's fallen, and fallen hard, for his yoga teacher, and somehow managed to pick up a gaggle of friends in the process.

Summary
When he was almost fifteen, Marco was in an accident that cost him an arm and an eye. Years later, in college, he meets Jean, the first person who sees him as a person, instead of the missing limb and the scars. And it's great. Really, it's great. And as for Jean? Well, he's never had a friend quite like Marco, either.

Summary
The thing about Jean is that he’s so enchanting Marco will sometimes think it’s all fantasy. He doesn’t understand how that’s possible; he can feel Jean’s hands on his body, and he can most certainly feel his lips on his. And even when they’re not there, sometimes Marco lies awake at night and he can still feel them. Feel him. So how come he needs a reminder this is real now?
(OR: Marco and Jean kiss instead of paying attention to their zoom class.)

Summary
Marco’s the average teenage boy, looking to have fun with friends and strangers alike whenever he can amidst the stresses of high school life. It’s usually very simple; he’ll catch the eye of an attractive boy, and they’ll sneak off together and have their hassle-free fun. No relationship, and no regrets. Usually.
But defensive Jean apparently has a history causing himself trouble, and after a quick make-out that really wasn’t worth it, Marco finds himself involved in a very odd game of cat and mouse, and entirely unsure of what the hell either of them are thinking.Alternatively, another pointless high school au that has the thinnest plot you’re ever likely to come across, and in which Jean is a ridiculous cross between ‘No Homo’ and ‘Notice Me Senpai’.

Summary
Marco Bodt was not the sort of person who called sex hotlines. But between university, work, and finishing the requirements for his first job as an actual pediatric nurse, a decent boyfriend was far from something he had time to spend searching for. Well, that was what he told his friends. In reality, he just didn't want to have to deal with meeting and getting to know new people. Marco as everyone knew him was a veritable social butterfly, charming everyone he met immediately and with great ease. But it was so tiring, having to try to get people to like him. For once, he just wanted something easy. Something where they had to like him.
But what happens when fantasy crashes into reality? What happens when a certain sweet-voiced phone sex operator he's taken a liking to stumbles into his life in entirely the wrong place but entirely the right time?

Summary
Rowing AU.
Jean Kirschtein is a third year college student at Trost University, and part of their rowing team. His esteemed boat - the mixed gender 8 - has been a consistent source of medals and wins for the team. Jean loves rowing more than he's ever loved anything else. And everything was going just fine, until one of the members of his boat graduates, and some new kid named Marco is set to fill his spot.
Jean wants to hate Marco, he really really does. But no matter how he tries, he just can't get the freckled bastard off his mind. And he's a little bit worried that the feelings that are bubbling up in his chest might be more than friendly.
