Being A Saint Is Exhausting, Sue Me I Wanna Be Wanted by unnecessary_footnote

Summary
Jackson Healy is relatively new to the jealous husband routine, and following one's wife to a dive bar conveniently positioned near a two-star motel may be considered poor relationship etiquette.
But he's on a collision course, and there's not much he can do about that now. An object in motion will stay in motion and all that.However, this object in motion is not expecting his wife to get pissy with him for walking in on her new conquest, and he's expecting the blowjob proposal from said conquest even less.
______________
Healy catches his wife with another man, who then offers to suck his dick if he promises not to punch him for the whole ordeal.
As one does when one is Holland March.

AU: what if Healy/March didn’t meet with March getting his arm broken, but instead with an impromptu one night stand?

Summary
If March had a nickel for every time Healy had walked in on him with his pants down, he'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Summary
❝… Holland March’s home isn’t a house. It isn’t Los Angeles. It isn’t a bottle hidden in some drawer. It isn’t the vacant lot where a house once stood.
Jackson.
Jackson is home.
What stupidity. What absolute, monumental, unforgivable stupidity.
"Stay with me." Those sound like important words. Holland looks at Jackson’s lips again.
Yes. He should have kissed him at least once. Before this. Before... Before. The word hangs in the air. There is something warm on his cheek. Maybe blood. Maybe just the touch of his partner… ❞
Ø
March takes a bullet for Healy. The incident forces them to stop ignoring the complicated and messy feelings they have for each other.

Holland takes a bullet for Jackson and still doesn’t die because he’s a big dumb idiot with invincible plot-armour. Dumb dumb idiot.
And then these two dumb idiots work out that they’re in love with each other. Because, yeah, all it took was Holland bleeding out on the floor. Dumb-dumbs

The Side Effects of Sobriety (They Didn’t Warn Me About You) by Lucky_Van084
Fandoms: The Nice Guys (2016)
15 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
Holland March has been stone cold sober for almost two months, shockingly enough.
It’s been rough but manageable all things considered, the shaking, the headaches, the nausea and insomnia, it’s all relatively easy when he reminds himself all the reasons he’s doing it, for Holly and the cautious, faintly hopeful look in her eyes that gets bigger everyday.
The uncontrollable raging urge to kiss Jackson Healy at pretty much every turn? That’s going to his undoing
If someone had warned him that the side effects of sobriety included wanting to kiss the living daylights out of your business partner, he- well, he still would have gone through with it but it would have been nice to have the warning.

PEAK
March is on his sobriety journey. He gets a minor head injury, throws up, and then confesses his undying love for Jackson Healy. To Jackson Healy’s face.
Yay, gay dads :)

Summary
If love languages had been a thing in the 1970s, Jackson Healy would tell you without a doubt that physical touch was #1 on Holland March’s list. So when Holland didn’t want Jackson to get out of bed that morning, it didn’t raise any red flags. March’s behavior the rest of the day, however, surely did.
AKA: Holland March grieves. Jackson Healy holds him together. Literally.

Summary
Alcohol misuse can badly affect sleep, and the road to sobriety isn’t easy. At least, that’s what all of Holly’s dumb library books on addiction and recovery say. Holland March brushed it off at first, but the insomnia and nightmares are getting worse. Healy and Holly are worried, and they propose a solution. Holland staunchly refuses. Jackson Healy is ready to do what it takes.
AKA: March’s doctors try to prescribe him sleeping pills, and Healy is a good partner.

Summary
Holland March can’t sleep, haunted by repeated nightmares. Worried about him and feeling like their relationship is beginning to change from solely business partners to something more, Jackson Healy tries to intervene.

How can he explain to his partner that his sleepless nights are all his fault?
AKA: Holland March has nightmares about the day Jackson Healy broke his arm.

Summary
Jackson Healy is not a family man, nor is he a relationship man. He learned that one the hard way after the divorce.
So, can someone tell him why he’s standing at the cash register of a dollar store, watching Holland March fiddle with his wallet with a giant poster board under his armpit, while a pile of markers of all colors and stationery sits on the conveyor belt? Though he supposes that’s another one of life’s great mysteries, and something he’ll wake up every morning asking himself.

Summary
“Meet-cute,” Rocky repeats after what he’s sure has constituted a long enough pause in conversation to become awkward. “It is an interaction in which two individuals have their first official meeting while in a situation that can be considered cute, humorous, embarrassing—”
“What?” Grace cuts him off. “No, I mean—yes, ‘course I know what a meet-cute is. Jesus christ.” The man shakes his head. “Who are you?”
“Oh. Well, Rockett is my government issued surname. But I prefer the name Rocky. Has charm to it, yes? I also respond to Rock on occasion.”
He holds out a hand.
“It is nice to meet you!”
***
or, Rocky time travels.
And also speedruns the full human experience. That too.

The heat of it roars, singing across his skin, and this is not the time or place for Sokka to be breathless, to be wanting, to look at Zuko and think.
How hot would you burn, if I asked you to?

Zuko and Sokka get accidentally engaged
This one has some of the best banter I’ve read in a WHILE. The conversation flowed so smoothly and I absolutely loved the pacing and the original characters too
It’s so refreshing to see Azula depicted as recovering alongside the care of her big brother

Summary
Zuko is courting Katara, and with every passing day finds new and insane ways of showing that he would quite literally move the spirit world and earth to make her happy.
In hindsight, it probably would've been better if Sokka had realised he was in love with Zuko at literally any time before this. Or preferably, never fallen for his best friend in the first place.

Summary
“I’m going to go practice some firebending forms,” Zuko says stiffly, running a hand through the tangles in his hair. “Tell Aang to join me if he wants to once he wakes up.” Gold eyes dart up to where Aang had strung up a makeshift hammock and was still sleeping soundly, snoring like a buffalo yak.
“Alright,” Sokka says, watching as he walks out without another word, evidently having reverted back into his usual brooding self. “Have fun!” He calls after Zuko loudly, which he means to be sarcastic, but comes out painfully, embarrassingly sincere. His face burns, and as soon as Zuko passes out of sight into the the temple, Katara turns to him, leveling him with a Look.
“You like him.” She says, and it’s not a question.

Summary
Eventually, Zuko realizes that Sokka searches for ways to let his hands linger—and he gives Sokka every opportunity he can, until they're standing on the precipice of naming what they are, and what all of their gentle touches really mean.
All they need, it turns out, is a ruined tassel, some yarn, and an excuse for Sokka to reach out to Zuko's hair, yet again.
--
He sighs, and very nearly misses it when Sokka softly asks, “helping?”Zuko can only bring himself to languidly nod, and savor the feeling of being so fully held.
