    Summary

    It was the summer of 2013, and I was still there. Stuck in a sort of limbo, convinced that nothing would change--content that nothing could change.

    But one fateful day, in a tiny town, in a rundown Blockbuster, I found Jean Kirschtein.

    Or, rather, the VHS he haunted.

    Summary

    Jean Kirschtein is not entirely sure why they need someone to clean the pool when no-one ever seems to swim in the darn thing, but when his socialite mother just can't stop ogling the new pool boy, Jean realises she might not be the only one.

    Apparently balancing a growing relationship with the freckled pool boy is harder than it looks, when coupled with a more than dysfunctional family life, a cheating scumbag for a father, and a seriously lonely existence.

    An AU of equal measures fluff and angst featuring pool cleaning, roof-top smoking, lots of parental problems, and mainly shirtless Marco.

    (Fic on indefinite hiatus.)

    Summary

    Everything changed for mankind, when the infestation of zombies plagued our survival and sanity. No place on Earth was considered safe anymore.

    I’m Marco Bodt, one of the few remaining survivors of Trost; possibly the last. I was about to suffer the same bloody end, if it were not for Jean Kirschtein.

    This is my story; of how I joined hands with other survivors to end this rule of zombies over us. This is the resurgence of Humanity against the clutches of zombies.
    Most of all, this is our story; mine and Jean Kirschtein's.

    Summary

    Bookstore AU. At Survey Books, 27 year old Marco Bodt is lucky enough to be friends with everyone he works with, until grade-A jerk Jean Kirchstein transfers from another store, and in spite of his bad attitude, Marco can’t seem to help but fall for him. Too bad Jean is oblivious and/or just plain stubborn, and everyone else thinks this is Marco’s worst idea ever. But in retail, you end up spending a lot of time with your coworkers regardless of what you want, and Marco will do his best to make every interaction with Jean count until they get somewhere. Or at least until Jean gets less awful.
