Summary
Obviously, the last thing Johnny Lawrence would ever do is what tells him to, whisper-yelling from his patio in a bathrobe and boxers.
For one, to get away from the edge of the pool where he stumbled at least five times before finally tripping, phone in one hand and a half-empty beer bottle in the other - being waved around in time with his drunken rambling. For another, getting off his damn property. And now this asshole can’t even clamber his sorry ass out of a pool, floundering and spitting out water.Or; Daniel unexpectedly (or predictably) ends up with another person to take care of, even just for one early morning. And Johnny's surprisingly forthcoming when he's piss-drunk.

Summary
Still reeling and recovering from the events of S3 and Steve’s arrest, he ends up with a fractured relationship with his unit, a dismal sense of self-esteem, and some bloody weird, painful feelings that he hasn’t even managed to identify brought to the fore.
It’s just that he’s trying to mend his friendships. No other reason why he just wants to make his gaffer laugh, while they’re stuck up in the driest conference ever to plague Cornwall; and why every reprimand stings. Why he wants Hastings to be casually, physically affectionate with him just as much as he doesn’t. Why he never, ever wants to get into the explanation for why being grabbed by the upper arm makes him flinch away.
But close quarters always seem to spur conversation. Harder ones, easier ones, and the specific kind that leave him lying awake in an overbooked hotel.

Summary
4x06 minor rewrite where Ted isn’t being red-herring written into a vaguely ominous figure in his office. But I’m writing him into tortured repression, so it all evens out, really.
Or; if Ted gave more than one stiff nod to Steve after the whole AC-12 armed standoff, and also went home to stew in his feelings about it.

Summary
"Steve?"
He looks up, at Ted standing over him - with his hand outstretched, offered in front of everyone, and a quiet kind of vulnerability behind a small smile.
It’s funny, really, that he doesn’t need to think before taking it. Letting Ted pull him into his arms in the middle of a pub in Ireland where people are either sober enough to play, drunk enough to dance, or too pissed to continue. Thronged with people who knew the eighteen-year-old version of Ted and would welcome him back with open arms, bring him right into their tight fold without question or so much as a comment. He'd call it unbelievable, if he weren't in the middle of it all. Improbable. Unlikely. Perfect.
(Coming home and coming out are difficult things. And doing both, at once, after forty-odd years, is easier done with a loyal partner.)
