Summary
“Jamie?”
“How’d you know you were attracted to lads?” Jamie asked, completely ignoring Colin.
“What?”
“How’d you know you were attracted to lads?” Jamie repeated urgently. Colin just stared at him. He had a sinking feeling he knew exactly where this was going and were they seriously doing this at 5 AM? In the pouring rain?
"I think I'm bi, Colin."
~~~~Colin's managed to survive the reveal of his deepest secrets, and is finally living in peace...somewhat. Then Jamie Tartt just has to come waltzing in and bring back all those feelings Colin thought were long gone. But maybe this time Colin doesn't have to pretend to be okay, because maybe Jaime isn't either.
An Epilogue to the Traumatized Colin series.

Summary
“I’ve known for months. I haven’t said anything to anyone. I must have a good reason for that, mustn’t I?” Trent offered.
“Right,” Colin breathed. Trent smiled warmly.
“Why don’t we go grab those beers, and find somewhere less crowded?” He suggested, but Colin shook his head.
“I’d rather just…get it over with, yeah?”~~~~~
When Trent says he has a good reason for not outing Colin, the footballer takes that to mean Trent wants something in return, and is surprised when Trent firmly brushes off his advances. Instead, the journalist helps Colin understand he’s not alone in his journey.

Summary
“I couldn’t let you walk away from a match like that empty-handed.”
“What the hell do you think you’re doing? He’s basically a minor and you’re threatening him with nude photos?” Rebecca exploded, slamming the pictures down on her desk as she stood to her full height. Rupert just chuckled softly.
“I’m not threatening anyone, least of all a minor. I’m just giving Colin a reminder of our time together.”~~~~~
After Colin confides in Rebecca about his trauma from Rupert, he begins to slowly heal by entrusting other Richmond staff with both his sexuality & his relationship with Rupert. But Rupert’s determined to get the last word & Colin’s progress takes a nosedive when he unwillingly becomes the world’s first Out Premier League footballer. Thankfully, his team has his back.

Summary
“Colin knew something was up hours before he was called into Mr. Mannion’s office. Despite all the comments left on his school reports by his primary school teachers about his inability to make inferences, he knew that something was about to happen. What that something was though, Colin wasn’t sure. Whatever it was, he was pretty sure it wouldn’t be good.”
~~~~~
After getting relegated at Cardiff, Colin is surprised to get an offer from AFC Richmond. But his underperformance and lack of self-confidence catches the eye of a hungry Rupert Mannion, who promises to keep Colin on the team…for a price.

Summary
“Okay, that’s it. Give me your keys.”
“What?”
JJ sighed and jammed his hand into Topper’s pockets, pulling out his wallet and car keys.
“Are you trying to steal my car?” Topper asked. JJ snorted.
“If I was going to steal your car, you wouldn’t know it. Hot wiring is easier than stealing keys.”
“That’s not very reassuring.”
“Well, the fact I’m a Maybank isn’t either. Comes with the territory.” Topper couldn’t argue with that.~~~~~
Or Topper really needs to get back on Rafe’s good side, but JJ Maybank keeps crashing into his life. And this time, Topper can’t exactly go home.
(A continuation of Topper Needs a Drink, but could be read as a stand-alone.)

Summary
Louis thought he had finally got his life back on track, when he found himself waking up in that damn basement again. After 2 years apart, the pack was far from welcoming Louis home.
"Why hello there little mouse." A thick, deep voice rumbled through the darkened room, "nice of you to join us again."
OR Louis tries to escape a pack full of gangsters, only to be boomeranged right back. NOT a healthy relationship/some fluff moments but on the whole a very dangerous dynamic. Trigger warnings apply.

Summary
The Eye has made some powerful enemies, and Arthur Tressler is one of them. He'll stop at nothing to destroy the Eye, and that includes kidnapping child magician prodigies to keep them from his enemy. But the Eye isn't about to go down without a fight. To keep their five most promising initiates out of Tressler's hands, they send Dylan Shrike to recruit them and keep them safe, him providing the kids with whatever they need while the Eye provides a shield from Tressler's spies. But it won't stay that way for long, not with Tressler, the FBI, and others on their tail.
A pickpocket, a circus freak, a drunk, a privileged runaway, a kid with control issues and a need for the spotlight, and a former FBI agent with far too many enemies.
What could go wrong?
