    Summary

    A cult. A band. A teenage girl.

    The Nice Guys find themselves thrust into queer nightlife in the attempt to prove that the singer of a popular rock band didn't murder his drummer in cold blood, all without outing him to thousands of people. As March learns far too much about his business partner (and in turn, learns quite a bit about himself), he and Healy take on the hardest task known to man--getting Holly to her freshman orientation.

    Summary

    In September 1979, things are coming along for the March-Healy household quite nicely. (Get it, Nicely). But when Holland and Jackson answer a mysterious summons from a university professor, they are once again embroiled in intrigue and death. This time they are a long way from home, with no friendly faces to help them out – well, except maybe one. Will the Nice Guys be able to tell friend from foe, or will they be swept up in the avalanche heading their way?

     
    A/N: This work is complete and will be updated roughly every three days. Since posting my first work in the Nice Guys fandom, I have wanted to do a longer-style fic for them. Literallyawolf commented that they wanted to see a longer fic too, and I guess I may as well give it a go!

    (Disclaimer: I do not own The Nice Guys (2016) and am making no money from this fic. I have also chosen to use the names of real people for fun historical references. I do not suggest that the views, actions, and opinions of the RLCs mirror the people in reality. RLCs will be credited in end-notes or in the final credits of the fic where it is appropriate. This is a work of fiction.)

    PS: Holland wrote the title, duh.

    Summary

    A comment is made in passing, and March is a detective by trade. He's never been good at leaving well enough alone.

    Summary

    “He had a sharp nose and head with full, healthy hair, and was dressed in a white button-up shirt that looked crisp and too tight on his body, with slacks hanging low on narrow hips. There was stubble along his jaw and exhaustion beneath his eyes despite the well-kept mustache and soft blue tint of his irises, but somehow neither of those things took away from him. If anything, they added something unfairly charming. He smelled faintly of cheap cologne and cigarette smoke, and something sweeter underneath that reminded Healy vaguely of oranges.

    Healy frowned when he noticed that the man’s blond hair was exactly the same shade of June’s usual beehive hairdo.”

    Or

    Four times Jackson Healy thought about kissing Holland March, and one time Holland March kissed him. (Plus one bonus chapter at the end)

    Summary

    To take the private investigator exam you needed 6000 hours of logged experience working directly under someone already licensed. Holland March thought he'd be annoyed at needing to supervise every one of those hours for Jackson Healy, but he's finding himself much more appreciative of his partner's company than he expected.

    But acknowledging the depth of those feelings is also unburying some ugly history from March's younger years as a policeman with the LAPD, when he learned what was needed to survive as a cop.

    Can he break down some of his painfully taught defense mechanisms enough to risk finding something deeper with Healy? Can he ever feel safe enough to realise feelings deliberately crushed down for more than a decade? Or is realising this potential connection worth it all?

    Summary

    Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.

     

    “Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”

    March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”

    “Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”

    “Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”

    For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.

    Incriminating.

    Summary

    Grace breathes in sharply at the fantasy, letting his hips rise a little. The quiet pleasure is starting to grow inside of him. Just a twinge in the muscles, but it's making his shoulders relax for real. The quiet is coming into his mind, too. Slowing him down so that his breaths can overtake his thoughts. Clear out the clutter and settle down into a dark nest of uncomplicated sensation.

    "What Grace doing, question?"

    Grace tries to take care of his body's needs alone, but an interruption by Rocky reveals the eridian knows exactly what Grace has been hiding from him. Now Rocky wants to help Grace with his "ritual", and begins to obsesses over this foreign concept of pleasurable body stimulation. There's absolutely no way their individual needs and trauma will get tangled up in the complexities of human sexuality, right?

    Summary

    Maybe Stratt was right all along.
    Maybe I am going to die in space.
    I can feel it getting worse every day now.
    I feel it in the creaking of my bones, the burning in my eyes, the aches in my muscles, in my head, in the pit of my stomach.
    But there isn’t anything I can do about it now.

    OR, as Grace and Rocky journey back to Erid, the consequences of Grace's dwindling food supply begin to show, and Rocky becomes desperate to save him.
