Summary
Harry knows where he stands with this crew. Breanna is their little sister. He’s just a guy who handles their contracts sometimes. And yet here he is, drinking their bourbon in their house when something had gone horribly wrong, and it had been his fault.
A mark's clever fakeout causes Harry to spiral a little. Breanna and Sophie are there to clear up any misconceptions.

Summary
It's a long and bumpy road to getting better, one filled with tears and memories and late-night chats over hot chocolate. Fourteen starts his journey.
An ongoing fic exploring Fourteen’s life after The Giggle: his PTSD, grief, trauma, and the family he’s made along the way. Everything RTD set up with that final scene, placed into the hands of my hyperfixation.

Summary
Beard is sitting at the bar with his book, sipping on a piña colada, a few chapters from the end and fully absorbed in the words, until the bartender politely interrupts, clearing his throat.
“Excuse me, sir, the couple over there wants to let you know… they saw you from across the bar and are really digging your vibe.” The young man looks more amused than embarrassed, entertained by whatever might unfold in front of him.
Beard turns in the direction he indicated, feeling curious enough to acknowledge their interest, to find Ted and Rebecca, both golden and glowy from a day in the sun, both smiling in his direction.

Summary
Beard wakes up in Rebecca’s house after yet another break-up with Jane. But maybe this break-up can be different from the ones that came before it, and maybe Rebecca can help show him what healthy love should look like. Maybe Ted can even help.

Summary
“Ted, I am a woman of many talents, but coaching a football team is not one of them. The boys need Beard here-”
Yeah that does make sense. “Okay, well what about Will?”
“Will Kitman?! I’m not sure he’s old enough to buy Lemsip, let alone drive you home. Please, stop arguing, grab your things and let’s get you out of here before you shed any more germs, the last thing the boys need before Saturday’s match is a dose of man flu.”
Or: Ted gets sick and Rebecca is there to look after him. Ted gets better and these two idiots realise some stuff.

Summary
"It could’ve been stir-craziness that caused them to abandon their initial plans and wade through the wild grasses. Blades veering one direction interlaced with blades going the other direction, forming mounds and valleys. Walking their own zigzagged route, they avoided patches of soil that were too damp to chance stepping on. They walked farther than they should’ve. There was no driver who, with a quick text exchange, could meet them at a different exit. Neither of them suggested stopping."

Summary
What the hell happened.
“… just gotta breathe, they’ll get you out, they always – always get you out –“
“Hardison,” Eliot whispered. Pain lanced through his head, down his side, his leg, something heavy pinning him to the cold concrete floor. His mouth was dry, tacky, and his eyelids felt too heavy to move. The babbling continued, Hardison’s voice stuttering softly, not seeming to have heard him.
“ – they’re okay, they know – know you’re here –“
Eliot licked his lips, ignoring the faint taste of blood, and tried again.
“Hardison.”
Trapped in a collapsed building, an injured Eliot and panicking Hardison do what they can to keep each other alive, safe, and whole.

Summary
Distantly, she hears footsteps approaching, and looks up in hope, praying that it’s the paramedics arriving–but it’s just Higgins, shockingly normal in his suit and tie, asking, “Rebecca, someone heard shouting–” and then he sees Rebecca crouched over Ted’s prone body and gasps, the file folder in his hand fluttering to the floor.
“Leslie,” Rebecca chokes out, “Ted’s collapsed, I need you to go downstairs and wait for the ambulance.”
“Yes, yes,” Higgins stutters, “But–”
“Go,” Rebecca orders, and Higgins stumbles over his own feet, rushing out of her office.

Summary
Rebecca holds her breath, and almost crushes Keeley’s hand with how tightly she’s holding it – while the doctor tells her that her husband has forgotten the last six years of his life.
He has forgotten her.
A Memory Loss AU, where Ted wakes at the hospital after an accident, and wonders why the nurse has a British accent: he's supposed to start his new job as the Head Coach for AFC Richmond, next week, but it appears he's already in London.
Thing is, he has no idea how he got there.Series

Summary
Every room he steps into, every cabinet he pulls open, every box he pulls free, releases a cloud of memories thicker than the dust that follows. With each passing day he disappears further and further into the fog that fills the house and he stretches his daily jogs longer and longer as a counter, the Kansas sun burning the back of his neck as he tries to quite literally outrun his past.
Ted's mother passes away. Fortunately he's still got lots of family to help him through it.

Summary
When Ted receives the news that Henry's gone missing, he drops everything and heads back to Kansas, taking Rebecca up on her offer of both her jet and her company. And though it turns out to be a bit of a false alarm, it may just be the push he needs to finally have some long overdue conversations with the people he left behind.
Oh, and to give Rebecca a little flavor of Kansas while he's at it.
