    Summary

    And the elevator comes to a stop. A bell rings. The doors open. David all but runs out of the enclosed space, but before he can get far, his steps come to a sudden halt. He turns just slightly, just enough to see Jack staring at him, and says in a rushed voice, “It was good to see you.”
     
    And then David hurries away. Because David, after all of these years, is still just a coward.
    ***
    Jack Kelly and David Jacobs used to be inseparable, until they both pushed each other away.

    Now, thirteen years later, they're given the chance to come back to each other- with the addition of a new obstacle. Will they rise to the challenge, or fall into a cycle of past mistakes?

    Summary

    "Now, it's not as if Davey has a crush. They've never even met. Jack has no idea who he is. Davey follows him on Instagram, but so do hundreds of thousands of other people, because Jack is talented, charismatic beyond belief, and one of the top contenders to bring home a gold medal for America this year. They don't actually know each other at all... but Davey supposes he could be considered a bit of a fan."

    Summary

    Even the great Jack Kelly isn't immune to sickness every once in a while, no matter what he likes to say. This time around, though, he'd made the rookie mistake of fainting in front of David, and is suffering the consequences by being held captive in the Jacobs' apartment until they deem him better.

    Actually, it might not be all that bad.

    OR: Jack gets sick and recovers in the Jacobs' apartment, with no small amount of tomfoolery.

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley is 22 with a raging alcohol problem. Something is missing, he knows it, and acknowledging it might land him in some rehab facility. His bandmates are worried about the "27 club" but truthfully, the way Anthony's going he's surprised they think he'll make it that far. Touring America is enough of a reason to drive someone to drink, much less the empty pit in his very soul.

    Ezra Fell is a nurse in California, overworked and short-staffed. He's just about ready to head home to London where the rest of his family is. He doesn't even know why he's stuck around this long after finishing residency early, something just felt right about staying just a little longer.

    Inspired by the song 23 by Chayce Beckham

    Summary

    It was a truth universally acknowledged that an angel in possession of no memory must be in want of a wife.

    No, that was the wrong book. The wrong line. Aziraphale frowned.

    “What,” the gentleman before him asked, “and I mean what, are you doing here?”

    -----------------

    Or, two years after things fall apart, Aziraphale shows up at Crowley's doorstep without his memories. The easy part is getting it back, the hard part is getting them back together.

    (Update: now featuring a cover by the wonderful @ineffableclassics!)
