Summary
You’re seven when you meet him, and he’s six.
He insists that he’s six and a half, thank you, as he pulls himself to sit on the wall beside you. He’s small, smaller than you and Stuart and definitely smaller than Peter. His socks are still clean and white, the cuffs of his jumper crisp and new, and he kicks his feet.
He says he’s called David, and he smiles at you in that little way of his.
You tell him you’re Don, and sitting next to him, with your skinned knees and scuffed shoes, you smile and he laughs with you.

Driving Home For Christmas by surprisinglyOK

Summary
I know it's not Christmas anymore, but I didn't manage to get this finished in time so HERE IT IS in January! This is just super fluffy romantic/family Christmas fun, in which David spends Christmas with the Scripps', and Don finally comes out to his parents. Very minor content warnings for mentions of depression, suicide attempt and medication (all only mentioned very briefly in one paragraph), as well as a reference to HIV/AIDS, a couple of sex references, and some slight parental confusion about the concept of bisexuality. Enjoy!

Summary
When he gets in to said living room (and dining room and kitchen), Don can hear what he thinks is a duet of David and Cyndi Lauper from the bedroom. He smiles to himself, wiping rain-wet shoes on the mat and shaking out his umbrella. He could get used to this, not coming home to an empty flat.

Summary
“Said he had a couple of books you were after, is all,” Lockwood clicks his tongue, finishes his cake and flicks the wrapper at Scripps’s chest. “Anyway, I’d best be off. I’ve half a float of milk left to unload on some poor bastards. See you Monday, lads.”
He gives a half-hearted wave as he sees himself out, and Scripps finds himself inundated by particularly exhausted office staff for the next half hour, so doesn’t have chance to think any more on it.

Summary
Monday was Donald Scripps’ favourite day of the week. Not a common choice, he understood, but his favourite all the same.
In which Scripps is the piano player for Posner's choir, and it's really fluffy and cute.

Summary
He thought he wouldn’t sleep, but it was easy actually, deliberately not thinking about Jim’s body, about Jim’s bruised eye, about the feeling of their bodies colliding after the punch, Jim’s hands on his shoulders. Was this how it would always be, trying to find their way to each other and finding the way blocked by themselves? He'd only know with time.

Summary
Scripps can't sleep, as he tries to avoid feelings he doesn't think he can deal with. However, all it takes is a few moments of recklessness to realise that he can't run from his feelings forever.

Summary
“I often wonder if I’ll ever feel love like that.”
“You will, Pos,” Scripps replies assuredly, thinking briefly of the name printed under the band of his watch.
“If I find them, that is,” he smiles demurely, expression slipping into a frown nonetheless. “I do hope I’m not a horrible disappointment.”

Summary
“Well, I came out to Mum.” Posner drops heavily on to the unmade bed, creasing a few screwed-up papers as he goes.
“Shite. How’d it go?”
“Better than I thought, actually,” Posner hums. “Though I do think she’s mostly just pleased there won’t be any unexpected grandchildren in the picture. Except, well. She asked if I was seeing someone, and I thought Dad might take it better if he thought I was, so I said yes. Only that worked too well and now they want me to bring him home over the holidays."
[ wherein Posner needs to take a boy home to meet his parents, and Scripps will have to do ]

Summary
This was written for Von five and a half years ago and I've just decided to move it over from LJ to here so it can find a new audience. It was supposed to be porny but it got feelings. I still like it. It's a retrospective look at Dakin and Scripps' relationship over the course of at least twenty years.

It occurs to Posner that he’s the only one who never gets called by his first name…. It’s one of many things that separated him from the other boys, kept him apart and alone.

Turning Points: moments when history rattles over the points.

Or, turning points of Thomas Irwin and Stuart Dakin's acquaintance.Bookmarked by BermudaRhombus
