Summary
"She knows people look at Jack—already big for his age and already resembling Bobby more than he resembles her—and expect he’ll follow in his father’s footsteps, onto the ice and all the way to a Stanley Cup. ‘His father’s son,’ they say, even though Jack has her eyes. He has her moods too; the anxiety that eats at her from the inside out is already apparent even though he’s so young. In the early hours of the morning, when she can’t sleep, Alicia thinks about her quiet, awkward son and worries he’s hers in all the wrong ways."
Or, Alicia Zimmermann, through the years.

Summary
“What the fuck are you doing out here?” Steve asked.
Billy’s teeth were rattling so hard now that he was having trouble speaking. He couldn’t explain what he was doing out there, even if he had wanted to. He couldn’t tell Steve that his mere presence in that beamer might get him killed. But that was future Billy’s problem.
“Need. To. Warm. Up.” He managed to say. “Just. Drive.”Billy finds himself in trouble and Steve is the only one around that can help. Something about the doe-eyed, floppy haired boy makes him want to be a better person. With the deck stacked against him, and the help of a few friends, Billy sets out on a path to be the kind of person Steve Harrington deserves to have in his life. This is a gritty and heartbreaking story of growth, redemption, and most of all love.

Summary
Once upon a time, James confessed that he liked it: the bantering, the bickering, the quarrelling, the squabbling. Q tended to agree. He still does. He loves it, in fact: the ceaseless banter, a spot of bickering, the occasional quarrel or squabble. He loves it dearly. He loves it as much as he hates a proper row, which is certainly what this is now.
Six times that James and Q have a full-blown fight, or: five times the cats took sides, and one time they didn’t.

Summary
It all begins with a mysterious yellow envelope. Where it goes from there is somewhere that Q once would have found hard to imagine.
