    Summary

    Aldo rolls his eyes, annoyance genuine this time. “Oh, for God’s sakes. The worst thing we ever did was teach children they have rights.”

    “You don’t mean that,” Thomas says patiently.

    “I do,” Aldo insists darkly. “Freedom of expression does not mean you have the right to scrawl ‘skibidi toilet’ all over the third floor bathroom.”

    *******

    The ancient and venerable St Peter's School for Boys elects a surprise new headmaster, and Aldo reaches heights of stress headache never before experienced by mortal man.

    Summary

    Based off this Tumblr text post by s4mm4n:
    God I miss the days when you could show up to a strangers farm and he’d say “Whats your name, boy?” and you’d take off your hat and hold it to your chest to better let him see your face and reply “Why I aint got one sir, on account of my mammy passed on before she could give me one” and he’d tell you he’s real damn sorry to hear that and ask what he can do for you and you’d tell him that you can’t read nor even write neither but you’re mighty good with horses and can mend them fallen fence posts what you saw on your way in and won’t ask for nothing much more than a hot meal and a warm barn to sleep in and he’d keep his wife and daughters inside but send his boy who aint for married even though his mama tells him he needs a woman out with a lantern and some stew at night and the two of you’d get to talking and he’d throw you his flask to take a swig from and watch you drinking from it while he leant against the door frame and when he finally got called back on up to the house again he’d take a sip from it too real slow-like like it weren’t the whiskey what he were tryna savor

    WARNING: Halfway through this story, it becomes about family loss and tuberculosis.

    Summary

    "It's not a thing. Occasional…casual…" Why was he justifying himself to his 17-year-old not-kid? He took a breath. "A month? We're not dating or anything. And it's completely top secret. You can't tell anyone. Not your mom, not Langdon, especially not Nurse Dana."

    Jake swallowed, eyes fixed on Jack as he finally walked into the kitchen, moving to make coffee, the picture of at-ease, as if they were well-established and not freaking the kid out. "Right. Your secret situationship is safe with me," he agreed.

    "What's a situationship?" Jack asked, looking over his shoulder.

    "I -- maybe you should get one of the kids at work to explain it," he said, going red again, sinking down in the seat as if the kitchen table itself might swallow him.
