Summary
“True love is uncanny. Not all can have it. Not all can keep it. But if it’s true to the very core, then nothing can break it.”
S. Stepp
In other words; the story of a grumpy northerner from England and an irritable blondie from Australia.

Summary
Michael was getting used to English pubs. He had, after all, been in England for two months. He was getting used to the sticky warm air in the pub that contrasted with the sharp cold air outside. He was getting used to groups of men drunkenly watching a sports event while occasionally bursting into a chant. He was getting used to being kicked out of a pub due to a stupid thing either him or his teammates did.
However, what he wasn’t used to in a pub was one of his English teammates from Ramsbottom, introducing him to a sexy brunette fast bowler from Burnley.

Summary
Alastair's a detective, a good one. He likes his partner Joe and the rest of the squad and he's seeing someone, it's not serious, he'd like it to be, he's working on it.
It's just difficult when you have feelings for a drunk, sulky, foul mouthed dancer who can't decide if he wants to be caught or not.Jimmy likes Alastair, really likes him, it's just his life is complicated, mainly because he works for a -, spends most of his time drunk and hangs about on the seedier side of the city, plus, oh yeah that past he has been trying to run from. Still he has his friends, he just needs to sort a couple of things out.
Things are about to get simpler and more complicated for Jimmy and Alastair.

Summary
Jimmy lets his hand drop away. His throat’s gone dry. Here’s his opening. “So how, like… Do you want to talk about it?”
One breath, two, three; then the other man’s face comes back round, and just before Ali once again closes the gap between them, Jimmy spots an unguarded expression (hurt, anxiety, need) that makes his heartbeat stutter.
“Maybe later,” Ali murmurs. “This first.”
--
A week or so after Alastair is sacked from the ODI captaincy, he meets Jimmy at the Alexandra Palace for an evening of darts. And, obviously, other stuff. (London, December 2014)

Summary
It's Jimmy's first Ashes without Graeme Swann, without being favourites, without an air of confidence. Change was inevitable, of course - but amidst the chaos of rebuilding a broken team, he realised the only constant was Michael.

Summary
Alastair almost says, You don’t have to keep secrets from me, but thinks better of it; what’s this thing between them about, after all, if not keeping secrets?
--
Secrets, lies, and half-truths are not a great basis for a relationship, even when the one thing you agree on is that this isn't a relationship. (Or maybe that's the biggest lie of all.) Either way, during a Test match shaped by controversy and conflicting stories before it even begins, some truths might have to be told. Lord's and environs, July 2014.
The saga rumbles on. All reads and comments welcomed :)
[Pretty smutty throughout, with the exception of chapter 5, which is just conversation and a cat. Kink is largely concentrated in chapter 4.]

Summary
It turns out it's not the easiest thing in the world to concentrate on a Test series against India when you're having a sort-of-affair with one of your teammates. Not that it's anything serious; it's just a bit of fun. Right?
(Trent Bridge, July 2014)
[NB: Chapters 1-5 are quite heavy on the smut (especially 5); chapter 6 is more towards the conversation/drama/fluff end of the spectrum, with the smut off-camera/implied.]

Summary
In which Jimmy and Pup are mean to each other, and Swanny announces his retirement from cricket – but not before trying to seal a certain deal on his way out.
Feedback very welcome!
(Rated M for a couple of the things Jimmy and Pup say to each other, just to be on the safe side for anyone who reads fic at work...)
