    Summary

    Sebastian, Sam, and Abigail have been best friends for years, little changing even as they all grew well into adulthood. Much like everyone else of their generation in Pelican Town, they've struggled to get on their feet and find independence, but the familiar comfort and stability of the way things have always been has been good enough for the three of them. After Sebastian and Sam's ex-friend Mallory returns to town after a decade away, however, they begin to wake up from their sleepy status quo and crave more. At least, Sam and Abigail crave more— Sebastian is afraid that change will shatter everything he holds dear.

    A midquel to Coming Around Again, taking place during the events of that fic.

    Summary

    The Valley was exactly the way Sam remembered it.
    It had been two years since he'd last sat under his old oak tree. Two years since he'd gone to the Stardrop with Sebastian and Abigail and played pool. Two years since he’d stepped foot in Pelican Town.
    Two years.
    Two years since he’d spoken to Shane.
    And Sam still loved that damn boy.

    Summary

    Age has a funny way of catching up with you. Not only in the aches and pains that weren’t there a couple years before, or the fine lines that begin to show on your face. It hits most on a random Tuesday afternoon. 1:21pm to be exact; Sebastian happened to glance at his clock before heading out the front door.

    Not an unusual time for a smoke break, anytime was good. Plus, he’s ahead on several projects, or was, until he was slammed with such unsettling reality it made him sick and shut himself in the dark for an entire day.

    All because of one, stupid, blonde man. Boy.

    Summary

    Sam and Sebastian are in their late 20's and struggling to find their places in the world. Programming work is running dry in Zuzu City, and Sebastian faces the reality that he's going to have to move back home. He and Sam (who never left town) pool their savings and buy Pam's old trailer. To help make ends meet, Sebastian decides to join the Adventurer's Guild, with Sam at his side. Can these two friends with benefits find true love in the Mines?

    *~*

    For a long minute there was nothing but silence, as Sam stared at his hands and Sebastian shifted in his chair.

    "Alright," Marlon said, finally, his voice causing Sam to jump. "We've heard enough." Sam braced himself to be told to get out, but Marlon spoke again. "We'll take you both on for a trial period. You won't be full members of the Guild until you each slay ten slimes on your own, but we won't have you go down in the caves until you've had some training."

    "No shit," Gil muttered, but when Sam met his gaze, he was smiling.

    *~*

    Summary

    When things come to a head between Sebastian and Sam, because the lines between friendship and relationship keep blurring, Sebastian sets out to find solace in his old hometown to deal with his increasingly conflicting feelings. He’s expecting a few days of solitude to figure out what he really wants, but isn’t prepared for his world to be turned upside down, as the one person from his past, he vowed never to speak to again sweeps Sebastian off his feet. Faced with old scars and the rekindling of feelings suppressed long ago, Sebastian has to make a choice: will he let his past hold him back or will he finally make his own future.
