    Summary

    “It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.”
    - Neil Gaiman

    When an English teacher with an eccentric sense of style and a strange name transfers from a religious private school to a secular public school, he feels a little out of place. That is, until he attracts the attention of the brooding biology teacher across the hall....

    Summary

    “Excuse me sir, but your baby is very loud,” an unfamiliar voice disrupted the chaos in Tonny's head.

    Tonny jerked, turned, and saw a slightly shorter man standing behind him. His eyes were blue as the summer sky, his skin was pale, smooth, and his chestnut, waved hair was neatly combed to the side. Over a perfectly ironed shirt and pants, the man was wearing a dark-green apron with a name tag that read ADAM.

    Even with the door right behind him, Tonny felt cornered. “Fuck you,” he lashed at the man as he held the baby tighter in his arms. “I know that, don't I?”

    **

    When the inconsolable crying of his infant son forces Tonny off of the bus, he finds himself in a small village where the local corner-shop is run by a most extraordinary duo; Adam and Nigel.

    As they jump to help Tonny take care for his hungry baby, Tonny struggles to figure out why these two men have such an 'oddly intimate' dynamic. That is before he meets the third member of the household; Aiden, who makes him question things about himself he never dared to question before.

    Summary

    Will survives the fall into Chesapeake Bay; Hannibal does not. Wracked by his grief, and the weight of things left unsaid, Will returns to Lithuania to inhabit the ruined, and potentially (definitely) haunted castle of Hannibal's childhood.

    Hannibal is dead, but also Hannibal is in this fic as an actual ghost, not a metaphor ghost.

    Summary

    When Richard gets into a high-speed, nearly fatal crash that results in him being stuck in a coma, James finds that he is the most affected by the shocking news. James's true feelings toward Richard are revealed in a collection of writings; things James had always wished to say to Richard, but never did. He makes a silent promise to himself that if Richard recovers, James will gift the letters to him, the things James wrote when Richard couldn't hear, couldn't see.
    The series of letters and actions that show how James's friendship and admiration for Richard evolved into something more than platonic love, following a life-changing event that reminded James that life is fleeting, and there truly is one chance for everything.
