Summary/Warnings: For the holiday exchange thingy on Sandford. For mikes_grrl, which made this wicked hard, because of something she mentioned to me in a chat. I tried to keep this light-hearted, love. I really did.

Also, in my head, Nicholas had some sort of traumatic childhood experience involving Christmas wrapping. I think an older sibling wrestled him into a box, wrapped it up, and left him under the tree for some time.

Summary/Warnings: Like everything, it ends on a bittersweet note

I'd meant to post this some time ago, but as I was going over it before posting it, I'd noticed quite a big fuck-up, and almost completely wound up re-writing this chapter. Overall, I'm happy with how it ended. Nicholas probably didn't handle the situation as well as he could have, but it still seems right, to me.

I'm totally done with this. I'm exhausted with it, much in the way that my last big project left me feeling a bit drained. I didn't expect this to get quite as intense.

Summary/Warnings: More awkward moments.

I think Nicholas is starting to learn a thing or three about being a dad; a hefty amount which was learned from Danny. Nicholas still has no idea what he's doing, but things are slowly coming together, and they're starting to break into something resembling a rhythm with their forced cohabitation situation.

Also, Sandford loves gossip.

Summary/Warnings: A little more with Nicky at home.

Right. I think Danny's going to wind up being an integral part to this fic. I can see him being Nicholas' rock through all this mess. I have a feeling Nicholas might get a few more lessons from him as time goes on; some more practical than others.

Summary/Warnings: Like the title says.

In case you have not yet noticed, I love these Five Times fics. This one had the potential to go one of two ways, and it was a bit of a battle to decide which one was better suited for the overall product. I think I like this ending better than what it would have been, and it leaves things open for a follow-up. I don't think it goes along with anything else at this point, though.

Summary/Warnings:This is done. Finished. No more. I didn't hit my goal, but I don't care. I was happy with where it ended, and didn't want to try to drag it out any longer than needed.

I think Nicholas is about a "put back together" as he's going to get. Hopefully, this fic did what it was supposed to, and tied beginning of film!Nicholas to end of film!Nicholas, and everything in between.

Summary/Warnings: Danny's still feeling a lot neglected, and probably has good reason.

According to the dot points I have set up, about half of this chapter was not supposed to happen, but it feels like something that should have been included in the initial outline. For a character that wasn't even supposed to be in this story, Travis has developed beyond the point of just "supporting male" and has apparently become not only an integral part of Nicholas' relationship (or lack thereof) with Janine, but is also becoming a sticking point with his relationship with Danny. I've got Nicholas' entire relationship with Travis for this story mapped out in my head, and I'm not sure how much of that I'm able to be getting across.

A lot of Janine comes out in this chapter, too, and in that reveal, it also shows how much Angel has changed over the last year. A lot has happened to this man in a short period of time, and it's beginning to take its toll on him. Danny realizes there's more to the story than he's being told, but he's not quite ready to know the whole thing, yet.

And in case you have not twigged, (now) Chief Inspector Partridge = Steve Coogan.

Summary/Warnings: I really wanted to explore the whys of Nicholas and Janine's relationship, and eventual break-up. Takes place between the station blowing up, and the very end of the film. This gets really, incredibly dark. tawg, I'm so stealing your angst crown after this.
