Summary
Nursey has worked hard to overcome his ‘chill’ defense mechanism over the last three years. It has deepened his friendships, gotten him into a couple of fights, broken his heart several times and, arguably, landed him the book deal. It’s been a very long time since he’s intentionally pulled those casual, unaffected airs over himself; it feels both strange and critically important to do so now, as he clears his throat and says, “you know loads of queer guys, anyway. Just work out which ones you trust and find tolerably attractive that are single, and ask them.”
Dex looks up at him skeptically. “None of them would want to sleep with me, dude.”
Digging deeper than ever before into his reserves of chill, Nursery replies lightly, “you trust me, don't you?”Series

Summary
Kent Parson wakes up the day after Cup Day in bed with a stranger. He's expecting to have hooked up with a Jack Zimmermann look-a-like. He is not expecting to see Jack Zimmermann’s boyfriend sound asleep beside him, dressed in what looks like one of his old Aces’ jerseys and nothing else.
Kent stares. And stares. And stares some more. Completely eloquently, for the third time that morning, he says, “What the fuck.”
--
Or, Kent Parson swaps places with an alternate version of himself who happens to be madly in love with one Eric R. Bittle. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
