    Summary

    Marco Bodt returns from a tour in Afghanistan one leg short. He has no idea what to do will his life now that the military is no longer an option. After his therapist suggests a service dog to help him deal with his PTSD, Marco finds himself the housemate of a young man named Jean Kirstein, a single father with harsh personality and an interesting story, who is one of the few people he's met who doesn't pity him for his disability. They spark a timid friendship, finding solace in each other's company after the isolation they both face given their individual situations.

    Crutches can't do the walking for you, but they offer aid in replacement of total immobility. Jean may just be the crutch Marco needs to walk toward a more stable life. And before Jean knows it, Marco might be propping him up in return.

    Summary

    Rowing AU.

    Jean Kirschtein is a third year college student at Trost University, and part of their rowing team. His esteemed boat - the mixed gender 8 - has been a consistent source of medals and wins for the team. Jean loves rowing more than he's ever loved anything else. And everything was going just fine, until one of the members of his boat graduates, and some new kid named Marco is set to fill his spot.

    Jean wants to hate Marco, he really really does. But no matter how he tries, he just can't get the freckled bastard off his mind. And he's a little bit worried that the feelings that are bubbling up in his chest might be more than friendly.

    Summary

    Jean and Eren aren't exactly criminals, although there's a handful of IT and Business Affairs detectives scattered around the Upper Midwest who might take issue with the statement. They've just got...certain skills, that lend themselves well to certain tasks. Like finding out just HOW good that new security system your bank paid 50 grand for is. Making that pesky little indiscretion immortalized on the hard drive of a security camera just...not be there anymore. Taking payment in cash and not asking too many questions.

    And then there's the new guy.

    Marco's got a lot of skills, and some of them are pretty hard to nail down. But there's no denying he's a damn good actor...

    Summary

    Marco Bodt has a problem. He has the biggest hero complex out there, and though it gains him friends he isn’t thought of kindly by the police: they don’t appreciate a scruffy wannabe bohemian trying to do their job. He helps people, and then he vanishes. But when he saves a rather hostile man from being mowed down by an over-enthusiastic bus driver on the streets of Trost, he doesn’t get the reaction he expects. He gets shouted at for helping, for saving, and realises that sometimes people don’t want to be saved, or worse still, don’t think they should be.

    He also begins to find that no matter how hard he tries, he can't pull himself away from the one person who destroyed his universe... and then put it together again.

    One thing's for certain: it's going to be a hard pill to swallow.
