Characters: Linda, Nicole, Scott, Steven, Jennifer, Robert, Paul, Ivy

Note: First person POV of Linda, Alan's aunt. Spoilers.

Mother, First and Forever by Chaucerettescs

It's my curse as a mother; my curse to love someone I would probably never even want around me if he weren't mine.

Summary: Jennifer reflects on all the things she misses most about her children, in particular, the one who has always given her the most grief.

Tiny Knights in Shining Armor by Pancakerabbit06

On the Christmas they were seven and Melanie’s cousin Rufus came to visit, it snowed all day, soft flakes filling the sky like feather bursts from a thousand pillow fights.

Lost Years: the five years between the first and second novels: 1999-2003

Reasonable by Chaucerettescs

...they just sit, drinking, and discuss whatever happens to cheer Geoff up.

In Geoff's case, that's usually sex, which is not something Alan likes talking about even when he's sober and not on a sofa with a rather smashed Geoffrey.

Summary: Geoff discovers something he finds endlessly amusing about Alan

Rating: PG-13 for allusions of (mild) kinkiness and slash

Spoilers/Timeline: Between the two books ~ 2000

Characters: Alan, Geoff

Note: This happened as the result of a statistic given to Jess by a bio teacher. Jess' bio teacher needs to never mention another one, cuz I might just up and write about that one too.

Conquests by Chaucerettescs

It’s terribly satisfying, Rufus thinks with a grin, making Nik yelp.

Summary: Nik and Ru appreciate how long they've been together, and all the advantages that that gives them

Rating: PG-13 for slightly dirty fluff

Second Book: 2003-2015

Post Series: Aging characters, Exploits of the Third Generation (the children)

AU:Alternate Universes

Rat Trap Hotel by Pancakerabbit06

The room they live in is so ridiculously foul that when Geoff is in the right mindset (such as very, very high), its sheer awfulness strikes him as comical.

Summary: As two London streetwalkers, Geoff and Alan find a moment of solace in their Murphy's Law abiding hotel room

Rating: PG-13 for mild swearing and insinuations of, well, a rather sordid lifestyle. It's just too fluffy for R

Spoilers/Timeline: None

Characters: Geoff, Alan

Note: The only truly completed chapter of the Trashy!Whore! AU that Jess and I started last year and never really finished. The Trashy!Whore! AU was birthed, I think, from The Decemberists' On the Bus Mall. I still don't know why Jess and I thought this was a good idea, lol. But I do love this chapter. Geoff + Alan= ♥

Ever the Masochist by Chaucerettescs

Geoff finds himself feeling completely serene. And it's enough.

Summary: Geoff and Alan comfort one another as they drift to sleep

Note: Part of the Trashy!Whore! AU & sequel (of sorts) to Rat Trap Hotel by Pancakerabbit06

Cinder-Alan by linastar7

Rufus was sitting across from Alan and he mused for a moment about what poor Alan was saying. Indeed, Alan did look quite awkward in just the dress.
