Summary
Jean Kirschtein is not entirely sure why they need someone to clean the pool when no-one ever seems to swim in the darn thing, but when his socialite mother just can't stop ogling the new pool boy, Jean realises she might not be the only one.
Apparently balancing a growing relationship with the freckled pool boy is harder than it looks, when coupled with a more than dysfunctional family life, a cheating scumbag for a father, and a seriously lonely existence.
An AU of equal measures fluff and angst featuring pool cleaning, roof-top smoking, lots of parental problems, and mainly shirtless Marco.
(Fic on indefinite hiatus.)

Summary
Everyone knows better than to associate with the Pagan family near the edge of town. Especially Jean. So many years of church and his father's harsh words have taught him as much. And yet, he can't seem to keep his eyes from wandering that way any time he passes by.
Jean is raised Christain, while Marco's family is Pagan, set roughly in the 1700s. Marco always seems to know too much, and Jean always seems to think too much. It's a dismal situation, one that begs the ultimate question: Can they somehow make it, despite the hardships?

Summary
Jean Kirschtein has been writing his penpal Marco Bodt since the third grade. He trusts his friend who lives across the country more than he has ever been able to trust anyone.
Until one day, when Jean sends a letter and never receives a reply.
Two years later, while in college, Jean meets the same boy in his letters, though older and definitely attractive. The downside: Marco doesn't know who he is.
This is the story of two friends, one from Virginia and the other from California, who defy the odds and fall head-over-heels for one another, and who learn that you don't have to be perfect to be loved.

Summary
Modern AU where Marco Bodt is 26, the proud owner of a flower shop in New York City, perfectly content by himself having discussions with his flowers, when the man who broke his heart six years earlier walks through the front door.
Jean Kirschtein is a police officer, successful at his job and engaged to an amazing woman, living the dream his parents gave him. We got a straight male over here, that's right. But still, he walks past Bodt's Flowers every day just to see Marco's name and remember the boy he met in college, the boy he left. When it's Marco himself behind the counter, Jean's entire cookie-cutter perfect world changes.
Wisteria is about a police officer that finds an excuse to buy flowers every day just to see the shop owner blush. It's also the story of love, and whether it can survive the tests of timing, fear, and duty to others.
