    Summary

    Slowing now, and motioning for Jesse to stay back and keep low, Vince started sidling around the side of the house, following sounds of muffled moving, a few thumps.

    If the Buster was over here fucking shit up for fun or to let off steam, he was gonna kick him square in his ass. Maybe the balls too, for good measure.

    But no, squatting down in the overgrown grass so he could see down into the daylight basement, that wasn’t what the Buster was doing.

    What he was doing was getting slammed back into a concrete wall so his head cracked against it, a real official looking guy in a suit shouting in the kid’s face. This time when Vince told Jesse what to do there was no protest, his wiry legs eating up the ground as he ran for home and Dom.

    Summary

    Logan packs his life into boxes and leaves London at dawn, pulling the invisible knot from his pinky like a ring he no longer wishes to wear. He tucks it away, still feeling its weight in his pocket, intangible, but unbearably heavy. It wasn’t real, but the pain it's causing is. What lingers isn’t anger or grief, just quiet acceptance. He loved. He lost. So, Logan asks Yue Lao—who once gifted him the rare mercy of seeing the threads of fate and the freedom to choose—for one final thing: he never wants to belong to anyone else ever again.

    or

    Logan Sargeant and learning how to move on after your life fall apart. Oscar Piastri and learning how to cope after a loss.

    Summary

    When he got a glimpse of his cellmate, a grin spread across his face like peanut butter.

    “No way.”

    There on the floor, with this head against the wall, one knee bent towards his chest, the other outstretched on the cement, was Rafe Cameron. A Kook. A Cameron in the flesh. It was like meeting royalty. Or a royal asshole. Either one.

    “Hey man,” JJ said, mockingly, “What happened to you? Kook party get busted? Public indecency? Disturbing the peace with that pretty prepubescent face of yours?”

    “JJ.” His name was drawn out, voice all cool and collected, “Why don’t you shut the hell up?”

    Oh man, JJ was going to have so much fun with this.

    Summary

    John B and JJ have lived in a group home for troubled youth for three years now, under the tyrannical abuse of fake philanthropist Ward Cameron. There’s only one thing keeping them going: the promise of escape to a land of sun and joy and fresh starts. The dream of a place called the Outer Banks.

     

    Title is a play on Santa Fe from Newsies (which this fic is kinda sorta influenced by)

    Summary

    The sea ran through her veins, its salt inescapable, its call louder than any life she’d left behind. She was born to sail, to command, to be something more than a governor’s daughter—she was born to be the storm.

    Summary

    JJ's finally out of prison and tries to find his place in the world. First, of course, he has to find Pope. The rest should fall in line accordingly.

    Work title is from a Johnny Cash song titled Folsom Prison Blues.

    There are mentions of violence and child abuse/neglect, but nothing graphic. This is currently a work in progress, but I don't think any of the ratings or warnings will change as I continue. If they do, I'll make that adjustment though!

    Summary

    Every morning the sun rises and I’m angry about it because it doesn’t make sense that the world can keep turning without you. Feels like the sun should’ve exploded when I fell to my knees to check your pulse and couldn’t find it.
    But it doesn’t matter. The world does keep turning. And I’m going to miss you for the rest of today, and all of tomorrow, and the day after that, and then the day after that, too. Every day, for the rest of my life. And the sun will keep rising. And you will still be gone.

    OR: Pope grapples with his grief. To deal with it, he writes letters to JJ.

    Summary

    There is a tap on the table top and a quiet, “Scusatemi, signorina,” and she looks up. There is a boy there, no more than twenty, and he is undoubtedly American, though his Italian is so polished that even she would be unsure if not for his hesitant slouch— discomfort, it says I am out of place. His gaze is not demanding. It is not cold, either— but intelligent, distant. Not assessing, but calculating. As if she is made of code, and he is reading her.

    “I speak English,” she tells him, “better than Italian.”

    He slumps with something akin to relief. “Oh- that’s. That’s cool. I’m really sorry to ask-“ and he looks it, wincing and pulling his own fingers, “-but would it be okay if I sit with you? My mamma is in a formaggeria across the piazza and I desperately don’t want to stand in there and smell cheese for an hour so I was gonna grab an espresso but every other table is filled and I don’t want to impose but—?” He looks at her. He is sharp, ardent with a wisdom that puts her teeth on edge. No young man should look like that: as if he has stared straight into the barrel of a gun and laughed at the bullet, swallowed it whole.

    He looks old for his age. He just. He looks.

    Summary

    Just like anyone who had spent all their formative years at Willowgrove, Shara knew that the elevator doors needed oiling. Because of that, they always took about three seconds to actually open with a dramatic groan and all the flourish of a private school shortcut. So all that stood between Shara and Chloe Green was three seconds, two rusty doors, and one impossible standoff.

    ——

    Or, the elevator kiss, from Shara’s point of view.

    Summary

    On a bright morning in late June, the Cameron children were awoken by the sounds of sirens whizzing up the street. It immediately struck Sarah as odd, because sirens were not heard and police were not seen on this side of the island. Figure Eight was a beautiful, well-maintained bubble where bad things never happened.
    She had just started to wonder if an elderly resident had died when the bubble around Tanneyhill was shattered, rather violently, when the sirens stropped right in front of the house. She didn’t have time to accept that police were there at Tanneyhill before they began knocking on the door, brandishing an arrest warrant.
