    Summary

    Ewen Montagu is fifteen when he meets the new couple who just moved into the little cottage in the countryside near his family's manor. It's here that he first meets an adult who actually sees him for who he is and doesn't immediately turn away from the truth. At nineteen, Hester Leggatt finally convinces him to attend one of her weekly meetings. There he introduces himself to Charles Cholmondeley, who he immediately decides is an asshole.

    Charles hadn't meant to insult the new boy, and he certainly hadn't meant to find him so impossibly attractive. He has no idea how to fix the damage he's done, but he suddenly finds he wants nothing more than to understand the politician's son that Jean Leslie insists is a complete and utter prick.

    Summary

    Charles Cholmondeley is just a Green backbencher. He shouldn't be being noticed by Tories. Especially not Ewen Montagu, one of the loudest and most insufferable politicians the country has. So when Charlie yells at him during PMQs, his work is noticed, and they are made to work together, because the UK has to reach net zero at some point.

    Summary

    It’s ridiculous, John knows this, it's a job, just a job, one that will pay the bills, it’s even one that requires a level of knowledge he’s spent the better part of two decades cultivating. It’s just-

    John loathed high school the first time. He could never understand the rules people expected him to follow, so the thought of going back–willingly–even to work as a sound tech for a school he’s never stepped foot in is-

    Well, it feels like he’s lost somehow. Lost what? John doesn’t know. But it feels like by going into that building and spending his evenings there, he’s somehow failed.

    or John is a broke techie, so he takes a job at the local high school, helping in the sound booth and teaching students more about it. Arthur Lester is a single dad whose daughter is in her last year of high school, and her theater department needs a new pianist for their fall musical.
    High school drama occurs, there is no budget to fix anything, and somewhere along the way, John and Arthur find each other.

    Now Complete!

    Summary

    “He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”

    Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:

    One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
    Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
    Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.

    An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.
