    Summary

    “I’m– I’m fine,” Grant chokes out, his voice thick with tears. He blinks hard.

    “Dude,” Nick says, unimpressed.

    “It’s okay if you’re not fine,” TJ says, filling in the space Nick left empty.

    “No,” Grant says, the words from before starting to creep back into his head. “No, I’m– I’m okay… I…”

    A study on The Boys during and after the events of the adventure and their experience with nightmares.

    Summary

    “Oh, um. Nothing.” Ron swallows. “Sorry.”

    “We can talk if you want,” Darryl continues, reaching out and turning the radio- which is currently connected to the back seat speakers- just a little higher. “They’re not gonna notice. They’re in the middle of a nasty game of Black Jack.”

    “Heh. Yeah.”

    A moment passes. Ron re-adjusts.

    “I’m just- just making sure nothing looks familiar. I guess.”

    Summary

    What Grant does know is this: sometimes, he doesn’t feel completely human, or completely alive at all. Sometimes things get on his nerves for no reason and he thinks he might explode. And on days like those, he rides around the city at top speeds, keeping his mind quiet by listening to music that’s so loud it leaves his ears ringing afterwards.

    He doesn’t pay much attention to the road or the path- he doesn’t need to. Everything is auto-pilot here. Being conscious is dangerous. Being conscious doesn’t matter.

    And that, exactly, is why Grant crashes his fucking bike.

    -

    Or: Grant goes through a particularly bad disassociation episode and overall just needs some therapy. Darryl tries his best to help fix him up after he gets himself hurt.

    Summary

    "Darryl," he said. "My friend. I – he – I know I wouldn't have held myself together if not for him. I don't know if any of us could have." He'd been put off by Darryl's energy from the start, his determination to take charge, bring the situation under control, carry them all on his back if he had to – and yet, could Henry ever have carried himself through that, let alone anyone else? "I'm sure you could see it already, even just today. He's one of the strongest people I’ve ever met; he got us all through this and he still had room to really care about us. He’s the best dad” – He nearly choked up at those words, but this potential for joy didn’t deserve to be tainted with guilt. “I know I never cared much for him before, but I fell in love with him out there, Mercedes.”

    "I can see it," she said, and kissed the corner of his mouth. "You're radiant with it. I haven't seen you in new love in years."

    Upon their return from the Forgotten Realms, Henry and Darryl each have a lot of things to sort out about their relationships with their wives, themselves - and each other.

    Summary

    Nick tries to have a word with his son about the fact that Taylor lied about ditching his friends.

    Meanwhile, it turns out that the aftermath of getting tear gassed fucking sucks, and if Taylor can't get to sleep, he'd at least like to be left to complete his Digimon marathon in peace, please and thank you.

    Two years after returning from the Forgotten Realms, Glenn has decided he's going to surprise Nick by coming home for Christmas for the first time since losing Morgan.

    He enlists the help of Henry, who has been an incredibly supportive force in Nick's life... and a surprisingly grounding force in Glenn's life.

    Summary

    He doesn’t think so. Ron tries to think to a time before the hatred and finds apathy and disdain. Darryl tries to pump him up before they arrive in Roqueporté but presses his lips in a line when Ron relays this information to him. Henry and Glenn are sleeping in the back. Ron sits in the passenger’s seat with his knees pulled up to his chin.

    “Have you felt that way towards him, though?” Darryl asks.

    Ron tilts his head. Darryl eyes him, looks back at the road, and continues. “Love and affection. Have you felt those things about him?”

    Ron diverts his gaze.

    -

    Or: "Tower of Terry" rewrite where they go about the fight with Vampire Terry Sr differently, and Ron goes through the tower alone.

    Well. Except for Beth. Beth is also there for the most part.

    (also is a rewrite of one of my older fics! very different from the original, and a lot better in my opinion)

    Summary

    “Do you, uh, want me to call your mom?” Ron offers, asks, as he pours out some of the water and adds the flavor packets.

    Terry spins the umbrella between his thumb and his forefinger. He shrugs, glancing at the clock. “She’ll get off work in a couple hours anyway,” He points out, which is objectively true, “and the drive is long, too. Even if you called, she wouldn’t be here, like… quickly, I guess.”

    It’s not a real answer. Ron lets them beat around the bush for a while longer. Mostly because he doesn’t want to call Samantha home early either.

    Still, Terry comes first. Ron would call Samantha if Terry wanted her back.

    -

    Or: Terry Jr. and Ron finally get back home. They're both stumbling through this whole "everything's normal again" thing.

    Summary

    “Temper, Hen.” Grandfather chides. “This is exactly what I’m talking about. If you can’t control yourself, how can you possibly be responsible for two children with twice your power?”

    “We agreed,” Father says, forcibly calm, “to weekly lessons. To help them control the magic. But they’re my sons, and I’m raising them.”

    In which Hen was never pulled through the mirror to our world, and is raising the twins in Oakvale when the Daddies arrive.

    Summary

    Their dads are gone. For real for real this time. Not just “we can’t tell you where we’ll be for a few months” gone, but “a secret organization showed them Ron Stampler’s video will” gone.

    “I was just thinking it was kinda sad that they don’t know this is the last get-together.” Sparrow says, staring somberly at their children chasing each other around the backyard.

    Grant and Sparrow talk about what their decision to join D.A.D.D.I.E.S means for both them and their sons.

    Summary

    The most confusing part was that Coach Darnell looked like a normal adult, almost like Grant’s dad, but leaner and taller and darker in complexion. He wore the same ball cap and the same silver whistle around his neck.

    Only then did Grant really take note of the wedding band on his left hand, glinting silver in the sun. Grant squinted into its bright light.

    Summary

    It’s very rare for Henry to be actually reminded he doesn’t have a dick.

    And- okay, that’s not completely accurate. Henry isn’t walking around thinking he has a dick, because he’s very comfortable with that lack. However he isn’t used to being reminded that isn’t “normal” for men. Most men.

    Men who are cis.

    He hasn’t had his testosterone shots in a month.

    He doesn’t know why the bringing back of his period takes him so off-guard.

    -

    Or: Trans Henry has a hard time with some resurfacing transphobic trauma after the dads find out who the purple robed-men are. His period returns. He loves the people around him.
