    Summary

    If Mick could have predicted how he'd run into Len again, twenty years after they first met as teenagers, it wouldn't... okay, yeah, it would probably go like this.

    OR: Two broken people reconnect, try to fix each other's lives, and learn that they can only do that themselves.

    Summary

    When Lewis gets to spend some time in prison, Len takes it upon himself to raise Lisa...

     

    „I'll take care of my sister“, was the only thing he said and grabbed her hand. He may only have been sixteen, but she was five and for all of her life he‘d as good as raised her anyway.
    He had no idea how he did it, but something must have convinced the cop that he could do it, or maybe he just didn't want the hassle of having to put another kid into the system.
    An hour later, it was just the two of them.
    Two weeks later, they had been thrown out of the house by the landlord, and Len had dropped out of school. He'd quickly come to realise that the only way to get a roof over their head and to keep Lisa in school was to start working.
    And so it started.

    Summary

    “Shadows, you took away the shadows.” Kyle isn’t sure what prompted him to sing, but once he started, he found he can’t stop. Jimmy looked up from the piano and something in the look he gives Kyle makes him want to stay there and sing with Jimmy forever. “Before you, life was black and white.” Kyle sat on the bench next to Jimmy, trying not to think about how every word he said could apply to the beautiful man playing the piano.

     

    Season 2 rewrite. Ana and Karen are lesbians, and Jimmy and Kyle are very gay.

    Summary

    "Don't worry your pretty little head off, Barry. I've had worse." Leonard scowls and narrows his eyes, unable to resist adding, "Some of it from you, unless I'm mistaken."
