    Summary

    Ilya inherits a surly grief-stricken nine year-old.

    Charlie lashes out with grief. Shane makes schedules and plans meals and angsts about what a terrible father he's turned out to be. Yuna tries desperately to build another kid into a sports prodigy. And Ilya isn't sure how to reconcile all the different people in his life and become the father he wishes he could have had.

    Meanwhile, there's still a whole hockey season to play.

    * * *

    A fic where everyone is doing their best, not to mention attempting their therapy homework. But where success and family is not a straight line.

    Summary

    Matthew Bernard takes a job at Reverend Owens’ barn for the season, the type of work that wears a cowboy down to the bone. He’s the only hand hired, long days, quiet nights, nothing but dust, sweat, and the horses to keep him company.

    But Christopher Owens, the pastor's son, and a quiet church boy, has a way of slipping past the fences Matt keeps around himself. Soft where Matt is heavy, gentle in a world that demands authority, he unsettles something Matthew thought he’d buried deep.

    Want is a dangerous word in the South, especially when it stares back at you with kindness you don't think you deserve.

    Some things can’t be spoken. Some things can’t be prayed away. And some things take root, no matter how hard you try to cut them down.

    Summary

    It took one bad morning, just one fucking morning, for him to blow up.

    Today, it was a punch.

    What about next time?

    What if it gets worse?

    What if, one day, Chris is dead at his hands?

    The thought makes Matt feel sick.

     

    Or; being super late for a meeting might result in some violence.

    Summary

    Chris can NOT calm down today, so he goes to Nick for help. Things take a turn from there, and, honestly, if Chris wasn't supposed to kiss his brothers, why did they have such kissable mouths?
