Summary
He takes the final step, lifts the lantern to flood the empty station with light, and sees a man laying on his stable floor.
He’s brunette, sweating, breathing unsteadily. There’s blood wiped messily on his forehead, down his neck. Half laying, half sitting up against the stack of haybales Buck keeps at the bottom of this station, he’s got one bloody hand pressed to his right thigh, which is caked with crimson. His other hand rests wearily on the Colt that’s tucked into the waistband of his pants.
Gale’s heart jumps, he wishes suddenly that he really did have a rifle, but when the man sees that Buck’s unarmed he raises the hand slowly, in a shaky surrender.
-
“You got a name?” Buck asks, in an attempt to distract.
The stranger swallows and takes a deep breath. “Bucky.”
Buck almost pauses in his work. He scoffs and shakes his head. “I’ll be damned.”
“Why’s that?”
“People call me Buck.”
Bucky huffs out a pained laugh, which quickly devolves into a groan. When he’s finished, he says, “Goddamn fate.”-
The one where stablehand Gale finds outlaw John “Bucky” Egan bleeding out in his stables.
(The sequel, seven miles out of freedom town, has been posted.)

Summary
Young wizard Merlin must move from Scotland to London after the death of his mother. He gets a job with family friend Gaius working at Buckingham Palace where he begins to discover secrets about his family and his destiny. Oh, he also meets Prince Arthur which sort of complicates things.
Prince Arthur is fine. He enjoys reading and football and spending time with friends. He runs a lot. He'll be King one day but whatever. He's fine. Well, apart from his father trying to set him up with every magic user in the world, but he's fine, really. Just fine... Until that skinny, dark-haired, stupidly attractive Scottish boy shows up and throws a whole bucket load of spanners in the works.
Set in an alternate present where magic is common but still illegal in many countries.

Summary
“Through the window, Eddie could hear the late night traffic rolling continually down the street. One of their neighbors was on their balcony, talking on the phone. It had always mystified him, the way the world kept on moving after his mother died. It felt like everything, even the sunrise, should've stopped.”

Summary
“So what’s he like? Full of it? Arrogant?”
“Yes,” he says, because he thinks that is a fair assessment. Sirius Black is full of it. He is arrogant. He’s also entitled and needy and smug. He’s talented, reckless, moody, selfish, childish, charming and sweet, and a million different other things Remus is trying to wrap his head around.
Sirius Black is hard work.
Remus Lupin is a successful documentary filmmaker who is assigned to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary featuring Sirius Black - one of the world's most brilliant footballers - as he competes in the European Championship.
All does not go smoothly.
--
Fair warning: Remus knows nothing about football and neither do I. Also, this is about football in the global sense. I can't call it soccer. I just can't.
This will not be hugely explicit, but it will be mature. I am an adult. If you are not, or you feel uncomfortable with adult themes, please steer clear.
I read and love all comments but seem to struggle to reply to them in an acceptable timeframe. Sorry about that.

Summary
The customer standing in front of him is quite possibly the most beautiful man Remus has ever seen. Like, he looks like a model or something. He has long, black hair, flattened by water, and just the slightest amount of scruff on his face, and…
And a baby strapped to his chest.
Okay.
