    Summary

    By chance, Stefan and Colin find themselves navigating a weekend that shifts something fundamental between them. Stefan realizes that Colin — who always seemed so put-together and brilliant — is just as adrift and wounded as he is. As they begin to unravel each other's battered psyches, something softer and deeper takes root between them, coalescing into an unexpected and profound bond.

    Summary

    "I don't know what happened, she just started bawling her eyes out!" The beta said, clearly desperate.

    And in her arms was a baby, small, with yellow clothes, with little blond hair. The baby was crying non-stop, screaming without even pausing to breathe, fat tears running down her big but also so delicate cheeks. That baby, crying desperately, triggered something inside the omega. It activated all the omega instincts in his body. Stefan wanted to comfort the baby, calm her with his pheromones, take her in his arms, and rock her until she stopped crying and maybe even fell asleep.

    And in an impulsive act, totally driven by instincts, he did.

    Summary

    “You can’t actually be lost in a maze," Kitty says. "Not in any real way. It’s a map of fixed boundaries. You can only find your way to the wrong part. Wrong part at the wrong time. That’s when the ghost swallows you in Pac-Man.”

    Colin pushes his glasses up and presses the heels of his hands into his eyes. “That doesn’t help.”

    “You two saw an exit. Stefan made his choice, didn’t he?”

    _____

    Colin thinks he may have figured out how to break out of the cosmic boundaries. How to stop being Pac-Man, how to have a choice that’s truly free.

    The key is Stefan.

    Summary

    "Colin," Stefan wrung his hands, nervously. "What d’you think baby milk tastes like?”

    Stefan has a choice to make - not a big choice, not an important choice - a choice involving baby bottles, of all things. He finds it a little difficult to decide. Colin helps him, just as any good caregiver should, and then things are right with the world once more.

    “If you won’t make the choice,” Colin said, leaning forward and resting his cig on an ashtray, “then I will make it for you.”

    Summary

    Stefan isn't Colin's baby. Well, he isn’t wrong; as much as Stefan wants to be, he certainly isn’t Colin’s baby - and he never will be. There’ll always be someone who pips him to the post in that respect.

     

     

    When the pitter patter of baby feet enters Colin's flat, Stefan begins to feel--just a tad, mind you--insecure about his littlespace. Colin finally decides to take matters into his own hands, although Stefan isn't entirely sure he likes his solution, either. But Colin, well, he's magic... he knows just how to wrap Stefan around his little fingers.

     

    “Just because you relax like this. Doesn’t take away from your working life. Y’know, I can slide into Tuckersoft off my face on acid and no one gives a shit because I still work.”
