Have you lost your way? the voice would say, etching the thought into Jude's mind, you shouldn’t be here.
I got the title from this tumblr post.

My Baby, My Baby, You're My Baby by PJShermann

Summary
“You’ve been asked to take on a child kidnapping case.” He handed him the other folders, “A twelve-year-old, a boy, was rescued from a motel room just two weeks ago,” Jack continues, “He’d been living there with an ex-monk from some monastery in South Dakota, who’d been apparently trafficking him.” Jack’s face turns grim, “Unfortunately, he’s decided to plead not guilty. The boy needs a lawyer to fight the case, make sure the bastard goes to prison. We figured you'll be able to handle this. One of the detectives on the case reccomended you. This kid's coming all the way from Montana to have you as his lawyer."
“A twelve-year-old?” Jack nods. A young child, Harold realizes, a chill washing over his skin.
Harold thinks for a second, as his eyes glaze over the pale yellow covers of the folders, “What’s his name?”
“Jude St Francis”.
A story of healing, of family, of a father who never meant to be one again, and a son who never thought he’d be one ever.

Summary
Jude, blushing, turned his head away, his voice barely a whisper. “Willem, you’re drunk. And high. You’re not making any sense.”
But Willem smiled dreamily, his voice soft and resolute. “I’m not drunk enough to imagine this,” he murmured, tightening his grip around Jude’s pinky. “Can’t you feel it, Jude? We’re connected. Bound together, forever. If you ever need me, just tug the string, and I’ll always come. Always.”
OR:
Willem returns to New York just in time to stop Caleb's brutal assault, but the trauma leaves Jude with significant memory loss. Can Willem's gentle love and tender heart withstand Jude’s long healing journey? Is it strong enough to face the looming legal battle against his attacker? -

Summary
"Now, already two years into their relationship, he knew his Frank-enstein’s monster fantasy was unlikely to be fulfilled: Frank was great. Jude was happy. They complemented each other in more ways than Willem wanted to admit. But he couldn’t help himself; his world was spinning rapidly in a new, unexpected direction. The change frightened him."
In this alternate universe, Jude enters a romantic relationship with someone else, another man that takes interest in him at the same event he meets Caleb Porter. This work is a series of vignettes, told mostly from Willem's perspective, exploring how Willem's life is transformed when Jude can't no longer be his home.

Summary
But he doesn't think about that, not now, when he has finally managed to understand and be part of one of the common and normal experiences that boys his age have. Jude finally falls asleep, with the sun still shining and warming both him and Willem, when the only certain things beside him are the solid shoulder holding him together and JB's soft murmurs.
Aka: How that first vacation in Truro might have went.

Summary
There’s only a little section left of the letters. Strangely enough, he wished that there were still more of these letters, and finds himself hesitating to pick them up, to read their finality. Not because he wanted to hear of any more horrors inflicted on his son, but because these letters were the last words they’d have of Jude, and with their ending, they would never hear from him again.
Harold and Julia and the minutes, hours, days after Jude’s death.

Summary
Later, when things got bad, I would wonder what I could have said or done. Sometimes I would think that there was nothing I could have said --- there was something that might have helped, but none of us saying it could have convinced him. I still had those fantasies: the gun, the posse, Fifty West Twenty-ninth Street, apartment 17J. But this time we wouldn't shoot. We would take Caleb Porter by each arm, lead him down to the car, drive him to Greene Street, drag him upstairs. We would tell him what to say, and warn him that we would be just outside the door, waiting in the elevator, the pistol cocked and pointed at his back. And from behind the door, we'd listen to what he said: I didn't mean any of it. I was completely wrong. The things I did, but more than that, the things I said, they were meant for someone else. Believe me, because you believed me before: you are beautiful and perfect, and I never meant what I said. I was wrong. I was mistaken, no one could ever have been more wrong than I was.

Summary
The doctors would call it a miracle he survived. Willem would agree to disagree. It would have been a miracle if all three of them had survived the accident, but this? This was hell on earth.
Jude saw this as an opportunity to repay the kindness Willem had always given him. He always worried of Willem leaving him, realizing there were people much better suited for Willem than he would ever be. But he couldn't think of anyone better suited to teach one how to live in a body that was no longer their own to control, how to improvise and adapt and grow. Maybe it is twisted in a way, but hasn't his life always been?Willem struggles with coping with a traumatic, life-altering injury, and Jude realizes just how much he had put Willem through over the years.

Summary
“Why should I stay?” Jude asked. “What has this world done for me that means I should stay?”
If Willem was a better man, he would have pulled his hand back towards his chest, taken a deep breath and nodded to Jude. Would have given his permission for Jude to leave him and find the peace he craved. But Willem was not a better man, he was human and selfish and afraid.

Summary
Modern day update, as recent as yesterday, your yesterday: Do mercy in not reading this while I edit my works to be proper. Thank yew.
Jude works to recognize love in the eyes of those around him, following the amputation of his calves. When struggling on his own, he looks to Willem to help guide him.
It has been a moment or two since I have picked up the book, so mind me if I am directly on point. This is set somewhere not accurate and therefore timeless, somewhere in a Thanksgiving visit post-prostheses. This'll have a few parts so I can find the motivation to upload small sections of it and write here and there. Wishing you all well, into the New Year and beyond.

Summary
( for Bibliophile, per request in ‘A Little Life Requests, posted far too long ago )
Edit, Jan 20th; changes have been made to ch.1 welcome to the do-over :]
A drunk driver severely injures three people driving in a car, now facing legal repercussions for a fatal hit done to a car right before it.
AKA Willem, Malcolm, and Sophie live, releasing themselves back into their own lives. While Malcolm and Sophie heal from the repercussions, Willem and Jude struggle in the imagined scenarios and endured damage in the heights of one another’s near-death situations, and amidst Jude’s worries and plans to ensure Willem of a good life, Willem ponders the relationship further as he thinks of a way to communicate his desire for Jude in a way that is unbreakable.
AKA AKA, A Little Life without Willem’s death.( multi-chapter fiction, new parts will be published every so often. POV’s will be everchanging, but the name of the perspective will be given before the written portion of the perspective. Comments, bookmarks, and kudos are welcome and appreciated immensely. )

Summary
Jude held a beauty many noticed; it wasn’t in the distinct way models were beautiful, with long limbs and this certain grace about them. Jude was beautiful in the apparent ways he spoke, acted, and performed.
Everyone had to look at him, even if there was no need.

or: snippets of Jude through Harold and Willem's perspective.

Summary
“Thank you,” he finally managed to utter, looking up at the professor with teary eyes. He didn’t know when his eyes started to water, but now, light tracks were trailing down the expanse of his cheeks.
“This is amazing. I will do everything to repay you two—“
“Nope! Don’t even think about it.”
“Harold.”
