    Summary

    Terry would never admit it, but both she and Link had been feeling the empty nest syndrome hard since their last foster kids had gotten permanently adopted. Link couldn’t even remember the last time they hadn’t had any kids in the house. The silence was nice, but the way it threw off his routine was not.

    A part of Lincoln missed having kids of his own—the same part that had since he was sixteen.

    A few months before the Teen High reunion, a new student, Jerry, joins Coach Lincoln's soccer team.

    Summary

    “Just like that. It can be easy,” he murmured. “You don’t have to fight every damn thing, Glenn.”

    His stomach pitched down. “Since when am I fighting you?”

    “Every step of the way it feels like you are.” Darryl frowned down at him. “I don’t think you want to, but you still are.”

    “So what,” Glenn said again, voice wavering.

    Darryl ignored that and said, “On your stomach.”

    Summary

    The strangest thing about everything being different is that nothing’s really changed. His apartment is the same. Items tossed around messily, dirty dishes still in the sink. He catches his reflection and he’s older and scarred, but he’s still wearing that same grin from before everything. He’s still the same.

    He hasn’t been here since he got back. He’s been spending most of the past week or so bouncing between the other dads’ houses and hell.

    Henry’s helping him get settled back in now. He doesn’t really know what that means. And Henry must not know either, since he hovers awkwardly next to Glenn while Glenn makes idle comments about how much he does and doesn’t remember about the current state of the apartment.

    Summary

    Valerie is halfway through packing up her easels and paints for the day when a figure bursts through the front doors into the Bull-E-Wugs. The human looks to be in his mid-fifties, his skin wrinkled and stance strong. He has long black hair with gray strands pulled back into a ponytail. He wears a leather jacket and an eyepatch. There are black horns growing out of his head and leathery red wings on his back.

    As the doors close behind him, he looks right at Valerie. “Hey. You’re the photographer, right?”

    (Valerie gets an unusual commission.)

    Summary

    Nick glanced over at his dad, who had fully leaned back in his chair. His long hair, peppered with a bit of gray, had a streak of red that Nick had never noticed before. It was faded, like he hadn’t dyed it recently, so Nick felt bad for only noticing it just now. He was still curious, though. “Glenn,” he said. “Why do you have that streak in your hair?"

    He looked over at Nick and squinted. “What? Oh,” he said, realizing what Nick was talking about. He grabbed the streak between two fingers and pulled it across his head so that it was in front of his face. “It’s, uh, a long story.”

    (Glenn is pretty much a stranger to Nick and Morgan. That doesn’t stop them from trying to figure him out.)

    Summary

    He hears the back door open and sees yellow light from inside the house stream onto the steps beside him. He glances over his shoulder, expecting to see Henry or Ron. They were always pretty perceptive; he assumes they noticed he disappeared and wanted to go check on him.

    To his surprise, Morgan is in the doorway.

    "Hey," she says, and it makes Glenn feel like his chest cavity is collapsing like a detonated building.

    (Glenn steps outside for a smoke break. Morgan joins him. Things can never be the way they were.)

    Summary

    "I'm so, so, so sorry," he says miserably. "I don't know what happened. I’ll pay you back, I promise."

    What happened is that Cultist Henry has ruined Bill's microwave. What really happened is that somehow, maybe via sweaty hippie tent magic or an arcane masculine camping ritual, Glenn's bond with this guy has been cemented. He’s broken a household appliance, eaten Glenn’s food, and owes him money. This is no longer a near-stranger; they've become roommates.

    He is uncomfortable. He’s incredibly uncomfortable.

    “I’m not uncomfortable,” Darryl hears himself saying. “Sure, I’ll join you there, Glenn.”

    -

    Glenn invites the dads to movie night, but only Darryl can make it. He reacquaints himself with weed, they watch a bad, bad film, and it's not gay. (It's a little gay.)

    Summary

    “You know you don’t have to do all of this,” Lark says, artlessly. “The dad thing.”

    “What are you talking about? Of course I do.”

    The job is simple. Lark knows where he has to be, what he has to do. He's a professional at this. They all are.

    He doesn’t know what to do with Sparrow.

    “I’m happy.” Lark says. “I like Rebecca. A lot. Helped her plan the proposal. I don’t know why everyone thinks I’m gonna be fucking suicidal over this.”

    Grant flinches. Lark doesn’t say sorry.

    It’s a lovely night for a party under the watchful red sky of San Dimas. Sparrow’s engaged, and Lark’s doing just fine.

    Summary

    “You have nothing to cry about. You’re fed, you’re held, you have a mother who faithfully tends you and a father to watch over you both.”

    They knew it was a risk. Autumn barely survived labor. Bloody reels of film choked her shaking thighs. And Barry is trying, trying to see how they were rewarded with such a child so unfit.

    “What is wrong with you?”

    Summary

    Grant could feel his world crumbling around him.

    Of anyone in the world? Why did his precious baby boy have to choose the bad girl? He was going to get his little heart broken—he was going to get divorced and be a single father and—

    “Night dad.” Link said cheerfully, previous daze seemingly forgotten as he kissed Grant’s cheek and headed upstairs.

    Summary

    End Racism in the OTW manifesto

     

    Darryl is under a spell that lets him see and feel Henry's thoughts and fantasies, and Darryl is completely overwhelmed.

    --

    (-long legs wrapped around his waist, heels digging into his back, hands grasping his shoulders, dirty blonde hair pressed against the side of the car as Henry's head tilts back, eyes closed in bliss, devastating little moans being gasped into each other's mouths, and sweet, hot, pressure-)

    The car swerves to a stop as Darryl whips his head around, (what the fuck, what the fuck) and he sees Henry looking back at him, holding the door handle in a tight grip.

    "Whoa, was there something in the road?"
     
    "No, I- what was that? What- why'd you say that?"

    Henry tilts his head, brow furrowing. "I didn't- what did I say?"
