    Summary

    Crisp, thin air. The rough scrape of blades on ice. The jumbled, unintelligible echo of male voices, ringing off the rafters and bouncing through the empty seats. The familiar smell, sweaty equipment and rubber flooring and Zamboni fluid. Luke’s taken to closing his eyes sometimes, cutting off his primary sense, and just absorbing the noise and the scent and the feel of cool air on his cheeks. That way, regardless of where he is, an arena still feels like home.
    Or, an AU in which Luke is a small-town hockey superstar who gets drafted to the Montreal Canadiens, Ashton is the bubbly team Captain, Calum is a defenceman with a bad habit of settling on-ice conflicts with his fists, and Michael is the NHL's first openly gay player.

    Summary

    Hi Calum/Poor Struggling Paralegal,
     
    So I’ll be upfront with you. It’s a one-bed flat. I also live here. HOWEVER before you delete this and think I’m a freak, I work nights so I wouldn’t be here anytime you would be. You can have the flat exclusively from 6 pm to 8 am, Saturday night and all day Sunday. Understand this sounds like a bit of a crazy arrangement but I could do with the cash, let me know what you think?

    Luke Hemmings (Poor Struggling Children’s Nurse)

    Summary

    “A California condor,” he says for about the twelfth time, “on my nape.”

     

    a story about boundaries, trust, and a line in the sand.

    Summary

    Luke looks up at him, mind going a million miles an hour, considering the proposition. This was fucking insane, he would be insane to agree to it. He could literally be murdered. By a fit-and-nice-but-possibly-a-murderer Australian man.

    Luke sighs and shakes his head, but he can’t help but smile. “I don’t know anything about you, I don’t even know your name, why would I get in a car with you for the next three weeks?”

    The man’s lips quirk up slowly, knowing Luke’s made up his mind.

    “We’ve got time for all of that,” he says, grin growing wider. He reaches his hand down to Luke. “I’m Calum.”

     

    Luke's just got to California, on a trip to get away from his life for a while. Calum might be there for the same reason. When a chance meeting pushes them together, Luke might get more out of the four-week road trip than he ever imagined.

    Summary

    Ashton looks up at Luke through his eyelashes, still gripping Luke’s arm lightly. His eyes are filled with concern. “Are you sure? It looks kinda bad.”

    “It’ll be okay. I’ll have First Aid look at it after I get my shortbread out.” This seems to placate Ashton, who nods once and drops Luke’s arm. “Okay, as long as you promise to get it looked at. I can’t be the reason you lose an arm. I’ll never be able to live with myself.” He smiles at Luke, and Luke can’t help but smile back. He hopes he doesn’t look too obviously smitten. He can almost feel the cartoon hearts popping up over his head.

    Summary

    For one long, blinking minute, Luke stares at Ashton and wonders if he’s hallucinating. Because that’s definitely Ashton. That’s Ashton Irwin, his former best friend from Sunny Days, the show they co-starred on as children.

    But it’s also definitely Ashton Fletcher, professional film actor worth many millions, possibly hundreds of millions, of dollars, standing on his doorstep, wind ruffling his hair.

    Summary

    The announcement comes late, at eight p.m., interrupting radio and TV broadcasts and flashing up on phone screens.

     Due to the current pandemic, the state is now on mandatory lockdown for three weeks. All citizens have until midnight to return to their places of residence. Those outside after midnight will be subject to severe penalties. Further information to follow.

    “You have to leave,” Ashton says. “You have to go.” Luke blinks. “They’re locking down the state.”

    Summary

    “Well, I remember you saying you really wanted to go and you seem like a nice enough guy, so…”

    It takes Luke a solid three seconds to take the words in, and when he does, his brain short circuits and he finds himself simply gaping up at Ashton. It’s not until Ashton starts looking a little worried that Luke rediscovers his ability to speak. “You— I— huh?” Admittedly, ‘speak’ might be a little too generous. “Okay, but— you— am I misunderstanding something, or are you asking me if I wanna go on vacation with you? To a cabin, in the mountains?

    In which Ashton and Luke spend a week together in a cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains.

    Summary

    “We talked about it before we went over to fetch you,” Ashton starts, “and Michael talked it over with Liz, and we decided that you shouldn’t live on your own for the time being.”

    You decided that I shouldn’t live on my own,” Luke repeats. “Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m an adult who can make his own decisions.”

    Ashton smiles, but it’s thin and void of humour. “You’re staying with me for a while, Luke.”

    A story about figuring out how to handle the difficulties life throws at you, on your own and with the help of loved ones.

    Summary

    “You wanna… date me?” he asks eventually, when the silence is starting to feel loaded. “I don’t date and even if I did, I definitely wouldn’t be interested in dating you. I’d say no offense, but… full fucking offense.”

    Ashton snorts. “Don’t flatter yourself, pumpkin, I have no interest in dating you either. Actually, the thought alone is exhausting and a little nauseating.”

    Clenching his jaw, Luke grinds his teeth and shakes his head. “Then what do you want from me?”

    “Sex. I already said that.”

    A story about wants and expectations branching out and evolving without the knowledge or consent of those they belong to.

    Summary

    So as the clock is bitterly creeping towards midnight, signifying the start of a new year, Calum throws his own New Year’s resolution into the atmosphere. As the crowd screams through the final five, four, three, two, one, Calum lets himself be swept up in the excited energy of another year ending, a new one beginning. The people around him cheer and kiss and celebrate, full of glee and promises for a better year than the last and Calum melts into it, even smiling a bit through the confetti and champagne.

    Maybe it’s time to move out of New York City.

    Summary

    Luke shakes his head. He doesn’t really understand Calum. What is this beautiful man doing being sweet and kind to him in the Walmart he works at several times a week? Luke’s life doesn’t include things like this. He just smiles at Calum slightly disbelievingly, it's not like Calum will ever really see him perform. He’s just a hot stranger from his grocery store.

    Summary

    Life has become so mundane in the past few years that there’s very little that sends a thrill up Luke’s spine anymore. It’s that idea that had him saying yes to the idea of moving out here for a few weeks anyways: the knowledge that this was a completely new place where no one knew his name. He could be anyone he wanted to be here, within reason. He wouldn’t be seeing any of these people again after May, so what’s the harm in becoming a new person for a bit? Someone not so bogged down by the shit in their head that they can’t get out of bed some mornings. Maybe this is a step in the direction of the person Luke wants to be in the future anyways.

    Or, Luke inherits a beach house on a tiny coastal island that needs some work. He didn't plan on falling in love with the guy at the hardware store.

    Summary

    Calum probably signed a form saying he wouldn’t fall in love with the lead singer of the band. And he really doesn’t want to. What a cliché. It’s just…people get famous for a reason. This guy got famous for all the reasons

    ***

    Calum moves to LA to work for 5SOS.

    Summary

    He’s singing again. It’s fucking 8:42 on Tuesday morning and Luke is singing. Loudly. Michael pulls the corner of his pillow over his head and groans.

    It’s not that Luke sounds bad. Of course he doesn’t sound bad; maybe if he did, Michael could at least find some joy in that. But no. He sounds amazing, because he’s talented and lovely and Michael fucking hates that someone who bothers him so much is also lucky enough to be good at things and look like that and be funny and shit. Life’s not fair.

    Summary

    “I’m not really looking for a serious relationship right now.” 

    Okay. That’s okay. Good, even. Get to know each other before they get in too deep. 

    “But I liked spending time with you and I liked having sex with you and I’d like to do it again.” Luke squeezes Calum’s hand, pulling Calum’s gaze to his face. He’s smiling softly, eyes illuminated by the sun, starbursts in his pupils and shadows of his curls in perfect spirals on his shoulders. “If you want.” 

    Casual. Sure. Calum can do casual.

    “I want.”
