Summary
Everyone who knew Jude was certain he would present as an alpha. He was tall, powerfully built, had lived and breathed football since childhood, and carried a temper that could rival anyone's. There had never been room for doubt, an alpha was the only secondary gender that made sense. It was simply who he was destined to become.
At least, that was what Jude believed.
Then Erling Haaland walked into his life. An alpha who was older, taller, stronger... and overwhelmingly more dominant. Suddenly, everything Jude had been so certain of no longer seemed quite so certain. After all, what happens when an alpha meets someone capable of making him question everything he thought he knew about himself?

Summary
Everyone thinks Jude Bellingham has everything under control.
On the pitch he's one of the best young footballers in the world. Off it, he smiles through interviews, signs shirts, and tells everyone he's fine.
The problem is that he isn't.
As the pressure of football, social media, and impossible expectations slowly become too much to carry alone, the people around him begin to notice. Erling Haaland refuses to let Jude disappear into himself, and with the quiet support of his teammates, family, and friends, Jude begins the longest match of his life: learning that recovery isn't about becoming perfect again.
It's about letting people stay.

Summary
Will stares at the bird. The bird stares back. In its beak, a very finely embroidered cloth, and in that, the tiniest of soft fists pushing forward from a folded corner.
“Don’t you dare,” Will says, crouching, hand that is not currently cradling an overly large pour of whiskey pointed at the bird to ward it off.
---
After Hannibal is arrested and the trial dates are set, the stork visits Will Graham. With it, it brings a baby, a legally binding birth certificate, and a hope chest full of gifts for her. Nobody except Will thinks this is weird.
(Alternatively, what if the Scarlet Letter was a dark romantic comedy?)

Summary
Will scrubs a hand down his face. “It’s not mental illness I have an issue with.”
“The notion of trauma, then? You still do not believe that what Jack subjects you to is no better than repeated abuse—“
“Would you stop?” Will hisses. He feels Hannibal’s eyebrows raise, a certain prickling racing across the back of his neck, warning and intense. He pays it no mind. “I just— I need to know I’m not crazy, Doctor Lecter. I need you to tell me that I’m not losing my mind.”
Or
Give Will Graham a damn hug.
