Summary
For as long as he could remember, the name 'Avery' had represented everything he was struggling with - legacy, fatherhood, high expectations and stiff meetings.
It had taken him a long time, but he finally felt like maybe he could try to take it on.
Jackson navigates his new life in Boston as a son, a father, and everything in between.

Summary
"Cautiously, he sits beside her and stays silent. They've been so distant these past weeks, haven't shared more than a few sentences ever since she moved out of his place, that he knows better than trying to touch her to comfort her. He even wonders if she would be comforted by him, and the thought makes him sick."
Set in season 14. April treats a patient that brings back memories, and Jackson goes on a hunt. One shot.

Summary
"So yeah, Mark notices things, but he doesn’t need to be in full observation mode (Callie would say he’s nosy, but what does she know?) to notice Avery fidgeting in his seat in front of him as Kepner joins her paramedic and the pastor and the ceremony starts."
A silly little AU, because we deserved to have Mark react to Japril's shenanigans.

During those long, never-ending hours when the plane is missing and no one knows anything, she pretty much lives at the hospital, because if she doesn't stop moving, maybe she won't think.

Summary
"If she, April, insecure, rambling, not-top-of-the-class April, can pass her boards all while losing her virginity and having a religious meltdown in front of her examiners, then it's obvious that Jackson has this in the bag and is just messing with her.
But he turns and slowly raises his gaze from his phone to her face. He looks at her, and she knows."
Jackson fails his boards, and April doesn't know what to do.

Summary
"Ever since their move to Boston (her mom said the other day that she can't believe it's already been six months, but Harriet can, because she knows the days of the week and the months of the year and has a calendar next to her bed), her mom keeps asking her if she's happy. Harriet knows her mom can be silly, but it seems important to her, so she always answers with an enthusiastic yes and a big smile, which then makes her mom smile. And of course Harriet's happy."
Life in Boston, as seen through the eyes of Harriet Kepner-Avery.
(no longer a one-shot)

Summary
"He's not used to feel so much at once, to inspect and name his feelings, to be vulnerable with someone. He's cool, he's calm, he's a freaking Avery. Averys don't wear their heart on their sleeves." Jackson reflects on the three most important women in his life. One-shot.
