Summary
It's Matteo's first year of college, but he'd rather smoke weed in his dorm room all day than drag himself to class. He tries to sign up for what he thinks will be an easy arts elective and ends in a serious acting workshop. Here he sees the Boy he's been admiring from afar all over campus: David, who's directing the end-of-quarter production of Hamlet.
David thinks Matteo's a slacker who's gonna ruin the production he's worked so hard on. Matteo thinks David's just another pretentious artist-wannabe who thinks he's better than him.
And yet somehow, their faces keep ending up at such a kissable distance.
(Or, a hate-to-love College AU in which there's not so much "hate" as misunderstanding, presumption, and a whole lot of sexual tension).

Summary
From the moment David sees the sad, despondent boy, he knows. He knows what he is going through because he has been there too. He doesn't know exactly what is torturing Matteo, but he wants to help him. To let him know everything will be okay. And that he is not alone. He just didn't expect that meeting Matteo would also shake up his safe existence.
(This is my version of David's POV)

Summary
"I'm just so tired, so tired of doing this on my own and -" he says through these gut wrenching sobs, and Christ, Harry's arms around him are the only thing holding him up. "I just don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone."
And there it is. The last of his selfish confessions. The one that he's kept buried even deeper than the rest because he had a life before this. He had a career and he had friends and yeah, it might have been a year since his divorce, but he had love, too. He can't even imagine that now. Can't think about leaving these children who are his responsibility to go and find someone just for him. The other half to make him whole. He can't even dream about it because it's not just him he has to concern himself about now. Anyone he brings into his life, becomes their lives.
Who would want an instant family of three with a neurotic father figure anyhow?
OR: the one where Liam takes on the biggest responsibility of his life, and a fruit eating best mate might just be the best addition to this ride. Future!fic, as canon as that can be.Series

Summary
“So how’s the puppy?” Nick says after a stretched out silence. He’s probably not asking about the puppy, Liam thinks.
“He’s alright. Still finding his feet, so to speak.” He clears his throat. “Still learning.”
Or, Liam comes to Nick for advice and ends up with an epiphany and a puppy, but not in that order.
