Summary
"Beth’s party was planned for the following weekend. She had managed to negotiate a festival-themed sleepover, replete with camping in the back garden. Some things about being a teenager never change, Charlie had thought. It was Beth who had pointed out that this was a perfect opportunity for her dads to use the fancy hotel voucher they’d been given last Christmas by Jane and Julio. A compelling argument, Charlie had had to admit, and felt the now-familiar, but still strange, parental solidarity with his mother. He had confided as such to Tori, who offered to stay overnight in the house, in the guise of cat-sitting."
Beth turns sixteen.

Summary
The problem with telling everyone, repeatedly, for five years, that you’re over it, is that they believe that you are, in fact, over it. Even if that’s a lie you’ve never managed to convince yourself of.
The problem with weddings is that you’re forced to try and celebrate the happiest day of your friends’ lives, while either wanting to die, or scream, or set fire to something, or perhaps fully lose your mind, turn up in the white dress you thought you’d have worn by now, back aged 17, disgustingly in love.
What if Elle and Tao broke up before uni and never got back together?

Summary
"It was Jane of all people who had suggested Norfolk to them, knowing their love of the coast. They were staying in a B&B that made Charlie feel like they had travelled back in time.
He looked over at their daughter who, in contrast, seemed to wear a permanent scowl these days, though whether it was due to age or circumstances, Charlie couldn’t say. Beth was 12 now, on the cusp of not wanting to spend her school holidays with her dads.
Perhaps skipping out on Menorca this year had been a foolhardy decision."
The Spring-Nelsons head to the coast for their family holiday.

Summary
****On indefinite hiatus - if you are interested in adopting this fic to finish please let me know****
"“I was just saying babe, my sister has a tent you can borrow, and we can easily sell your other ticket last-minute, it’s been sold out for weeks now!” Elle wasn’t giving up without a fight.
The original plan, of course, had been to go with Ben, the four of them together, Charlie’s first festival experience. Charlie had hoped that this weekend away might have been the start of a better friendship between Ben, Tao, and Elle. Ben had shattered those plans by cheating on him with Imogen. And then lying about it. And then…
Charlie pushed the unwanted memories out of his mind. Back to the issue at hand. Maybe he should go, after all? It could be a way to start fresh, to rekindle the spark he knew he’d lost along the way. It was better than spending all weekend sitting inside at his parent’s house, playing Mario Kart with Olly, after all. He had the rest of the summer ahead to do that.
He sighed, and found himself agreeing."

Summary
"Nick knows, in theory, that today is the day of the author visit. It’s been added to the school calendar, he even mentioned it himself in morning briefing, and Tara has been in constant email communication with him about it. This doesn’t stop him from doing a poorly-hidden double-take when Darcy brings their visitor through to meet him.
Should have known better than to stereotype, thinks Nick, internally berating himself. The most gorgeous man he has ever seen, is currently standing in front of his desk. A riot of dark curls sits atop a tall slender frame, with the bluest of blue eyes staring warmly out of an elfin face. This gorgeous man holds out his hand for Nick to shake, and Nick resists the impulsive urge to grab it and run away with him. “Hi. I’m Charlie Spring.”
AU. Nick is the headteacher of St Elias Primary School. He's in his 30s, depressed, and painfully single.
This is the story of how Nick and Charlie find each other after years of feeling lost.

Summary
Although Shane would prefer to spend the precious few free weeks they have in the summer at the cottage, the Hollander-Rozanov clan boards a plane to London with varying levels of excitement about their sponsor trip to Wimbledon.
Shane guesses he’s looking forward to exploring a new city. Dad is definitely most excited for the tennis and Mom for the historical sights. Ilya, it seems, is just itching to use his god awful attempt at an English accent.

Summary
“-moya rybka, I am sorry, sweet girl-” Ilya is saying, on his knees in the middle of their living room and patting the rug near him with what looks like devastation on his face as Anya continues to ignore him, curled up on Shane’s lap instead. Fresh off of several stacked events to fit them into a weekend–because Shane’s mom is nothing if not efficient when it comes to the deals she makes–Ilya got home only a few minutes ago, still in the outfit he’d left his Buzzfeed puppy interview in, which Anya had clearly not appreciated, sniffing him suspiciously after her initial excited greeting and then retreating to Shane immediately when he patted his thigh in welcome.
Shane is trying not to be obviously enjoying Ilya’s turmoil as much as he is, shifting Anya to lay on her back like a baby in one arm and cooing at her.
“I know, huh? Papa left and played with who knows how many other dogs, and the whole time you were here missing him. I bet he wasn’t even thinking about you, huh?”
“Hollander!” Ilya says, sounding scandalized. “Do not tell her that! Is not true!”
