Summary
"Beth’s party was planned for the following weekend. She had managed to negotiate a festival-themed sleepover, replete with camping in the back garden. Some things about being a teenager never change, Charlie had thought. It was Beth who had pointed out that this was a perfect opportunity for her dads to use the fancy hotel voucher they’d been given last Christmas by Jane and Julio. A compelling argument, Charlie had had to admit, and felt the now-familiar, but still strange, parental solidarity with his mother. He had confided as such to Tori, who offered to stay overnight in the house, in the guise of cat-sitting."
Beth turns sixteen.

Summary
The problem with telling everyone, repeatedly, for five years, that you’re over it, is that they believe that you are, in fact, over it. Even if that’s a lie you’ve never managed to convince yourself of.
The problem with weddings is that you’re forced to try and celebrate the happiest day of your friends’ lives, while either wanting to die, or scream, or set fire to something, or perhaps fully lose your mind, turn up in the white dress you thought you’d have worn by now, back aged 17, disgustingly in love.
What if Elle and Tao broke up before uni and never got back together?

Summary
"It was Jane of all people who had suggested Norfolk to them, knowing their love of the coast. They were staying in a B&B that made Charlie feel like they had travelled back in time.
He looked over at their daughter who, in contrast, seemed to wear a permanent scowl these days, though whether it was due to age or circumstances, Charlie couldn’t say. Beth was 12 now, on the cusp of not wanting to spend her school holidays with her dads.
Perhaps skipping out on Menorca this year had been a foolhardy decision."
The Spring-Nelsons head to the coast for their family holiday.

Summary
****On indefinite hiatus - if you are interested in adopting this fic to finish please let me know****
"“I was just saying babe, my sister has a tent you can borrow, and we can easily sell your other ticket last-minute, it’s been sold out for weeks now!” Elle wasn’t giving up without a fight.
The original plan, of course, had been to go with Ben, the four of them together, Charlie’s first festival experience. Charlie had hoped that this weekend away might have been the start of a better friendship between Ben, Tao, and Elle. Ben had shattered those plans by cheating on him with Imogen. And then lying about it. And then…
Charlie pushed the unwanted memories out of his mind. Back to the issue at hand. Maybe he should go, after all? It could be a way to start fresh, to rekindle the spark he knew he’d lost along the way. It was better than spending all weekend sitting inside at his parent’s house, playing Mario Kart with Olly, after all. He had the rest of the summer ahead to do that.
He sighed, and found himself agreeing."
AU - What if Charlie and Nick's first meeting was at a music festival?

Summary
"Nick knows, in theory, that today is the day of the author visit. It’s been added to the school calendar, he even mentioned it himself in morning briefing, and Tara has been in constant email communication with him about it. This doesn’t stop him from doing a poorly-hidden double-take when Darcy brings their visitor through to meet him.
Should have known better than to stereotype, thinks Nick, internally berating himself. The most gorgeous man he has ever seen, is currently standing in front of his desk. A riot of dark curls sits atop a tall slender frame, with the bluest of blue eyes staring warmly out of an elfin face. This gorgeous man holds out his hand for Nick to shake, and Nick resists the impulsive urge to grab it and run away with him. “Hi. I’m Charlie Spring.”
AU. Nick is the headteacher of St Elias Primary School. He's in his 30s, depressed, and painfully single.
This is the story of how Nick and Charlie find each other after years of feeling lost.

Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

Summary
“Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.

“…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”
--

Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.

Summary
Rose volunteers for a nonprofit that rescues sex-trafficked omegas, and Shane thinks it's a great cause. He even attends their fundraising galas.
Then, one night, Rose calls to ask for a favor: She wants Shane to let a recently-rescued male omega live with him. In his apartment.
His name is Ilya, Rose explains, and the thing is, despite omega hormone levels, he acts and smells just like an alpha. He can't keep staying in an omega group home because he's scaring the other omegas and endangering the staff.
But he could live with Shane, Rose insists. "You're a big strong alpha hockey player, so he can't intimidate you physically. But also he needs to feel safe, which he can with you, because you're not like other alphas." She pauses. "You know?"
By which she means Shane has never had a full rut, his scent glands barely work, he can't form a knot, and he has no interest in sticking his dick in anyone. Which, whatever. It's fine.
But if being a failure as an alpha means he can help this omega, Ilya, who's apparently as much of a biological anomaly as Shane is…
Shane says yes.
And maybe it's a stupid decision. But he knows that it's also the right one.
