SKIPPY OF THE SEVEN SEAS by MySkippyLove (OpelForever)

Summary
In the mid-1980s, Hawkins Fuller is a captain on a crab fishing fleet. He lives in Finnis, a desolate town in northern Washington state where his longtime girlfriend Mary Johnson runs a grocery store.
After rescuing a beached orca whom he christens Skippy, he breaks down under memories of his past:of his childhood years shaped by poverty and a neglectful, selfish mother, of his time as a Marine in Vietnam, and of a college student who loved him and whom he shamefully abandoned to pursue his own dream of parenthood and middle-class normalcy...
I dare say that this fic is different from the other FT ones: both Hawk and Tim are observing Protestants; Tim's family is incredibly wealthy, Mary Johnson is Hawk's lover and Estelle Fuller is a total b*tch. What's more, 1970s Hawk is a cool dude with long hair and a motorbike.
Please leave kudos and comments!

Americans in Paris by OpelForever

Summary
In the swinging 1950s, Tim Laughlin, a young teacher from New York, is working in Paris and struggling to make ends meet. Shy, self-conscious and clumsy, he almost literally stumbles into the local expat scene where he makes the acquaintance of several inspiring men. One of them, the unreachable and profoundly cynical Hawkins Fuller, becomes the object of his desire. Even though Tim is duly warned of this impossible character by his new friends, he is determined to get more out of Fuller than just polite interest.
This story mainly focuses on the rocky romance between Tim and Hawk, but it also features the lives of other men: drag queen Frankie Hines, journalist Marcus Gaines, his secret heartthrob, and William Lee, the affluent drug addict who has come to Paris to get over losing Eugene Allerton, the love of his life.
Lee and Allerton are characters from Guadagnino's magnificent movie Queer (2024, based on William S. Burroughs' eponymous novella), but even if you are not familiar with this canon, you can still follow the plot in my fic.

Clive Durham's Busy Basement by OpelForever

Summary
Clive Durham, in his early fifties now, has retired due to health problems (ahem). His wife Anne sinks into a clinical depression and quits her job. Their marital bliss is over, and his liaison with Maurice and Alec comes to an end. His seemingly helpless mother constantly claims him, and he has to take in an unwanted guest who has had her share of troubles.
Meanwhile, the basement of his home is turned into a spa, but he regrets the project because there's no one he can have fun with there. As if that weren't enough, Anne comes up with a wish he can never fulfill.
But Clive is Clive. He is granted a few bizarre, highly erotic (or rather smutty) experiences, and so he eventually gains back everything he thought he'd lost for good, and in the end everybody is happy again.The previous fics from these series are risqué, but this one is predominantly PORN.

Summary
While on display at a flea market, a toy airplane reminisces about the romance of its former beloved masters, fighter pilot Roman Matvejev and private Sergey Serebrennikov. The loyal little aircraft relates their love story in minute detail, including the separation brought on by Roman's deployment in Afghanistan, where he was shot down in his fighter jet, leaving Sergey heartbroken and devastated.
The sad airplane abandons all hope of ever being happy again, but suddenly things change, and it is granted a new life full of impressions and challenges characteristic of the post-Soviet era.

For Maurice to End where the Muddle Begins by OpelForever
Fandom any crappy flick from the nineties, Maurice (1987), Maurice - E. M. Forster
28 Oct 2025
Summary
This is the story of Maurice Hall, Clive Durham, Alec Scudder and some other characters from 'Maurice' by E.M. Forster. They are based on the novel (1913) as well as on the film by James Ivory (1987). Slight difference: my fic is set in the late 20th and the early 21th century, as told by the four main characters during the Covid pandemic.
The series should be viewed as a modern sequel to the original story. Our Forster friends go through the craziest adventures, experiencing love, happiness, sadness and distress and a muddle in general.- Words:

Summary
The many lovely ATWD fics on AO3 inspired me to create my own stories. The film and the message it bears is serious and I cannot praise the editor and the actors enough for their outstanding work. It set an important mark in the global conception of LGBT rights in Georgia.
My fics, however, are slightly different. Post-canon Merab and Irakli are in fact steady lovers, David, Sopo and Mary are very supportive of their relationship and all is hunky-dory in Tbilisi.
It isn't. It definitely isn't. Our friends go through the craziest adventures and get into trouble while saving Aleko. Poor Aleko! But he'll be fine too.

Summary
“I was going to order milk.” Hawk laughs. Genuinely, for the first time tonight at a joke that wasn’t by Lucy or Marcus. The man next to him does not.
“Milk?” Hawk repeats.
“I know it’s silly,” He sips the drink the bartender hands him. “This isn’t bad, though.”
“‘Course not,” Hawk replies easily, “I ordered it.”
“Are you normally so confident in your drink ordering abilities, Mr. Fuller?”
Or, Hawk, Tim, and figure skating. They fall in love along the way.

Summary
When Tim Laughlin, a kind but lonely social worker, helps a grieving father home from a bar, he doesn’t expect it to change his life.
Hawkins Fuller was supposed to move to Milan with his wife — but one night and one kiss unravel decades of denial.
It’s a story about loss, coming out late, and finding love. A modern AU greeting to my beloved ’80s Hawk and Tim.
