A sequel to the series of stories following Real Arms Around Me including Doing It Again. This one begins in the spring of 2016, a couple of days after Say It Back. Brendan and Ste are making a life together after prison. It's a continuing story which won't be finishing any time soon. I promise it won't be abandoned or ended without warning x

An occasional spinoff from After Today, written from Ste's point of view not Brendan's. Each chapter runs parallel to part of After Today rather than forming a continuous story of their own, and won't make much sense without that context. Chapter 1 fits into After Today as 'Chapter 39a', Chapter 2 would be 'Chapter 44a', Chapter 3 would be 'Chapter 59a'.

AU. Inspired by the television series 'In The Flesh.' This will be a long term fic. Some terms may be confusing to people who haven't watched ITF (I've provided a glossary), but the majority of the fic will deviate from the show.

Stendan AU fic. An unspecified present on an unnamed Mediterranean island: a dark and brooding Irish bar owner and a young Mancunian tour rep meet for the first time, having left behind their old lives in England to make a fresh start in the sun. Unapologetically makes use of other Hollyoaks characters and shamelessly riffs on some favourite Stendan scenes.

Brendan and Ste. One-shot. This story is set a few hours after Doing It Again, so if you don't want to know how Doing It Again ends, don't read this one..! Originally written for Tessa's birthday xx

Ste is imprisoned and meets Brendan. This is inspired by the wonderful fic "Held Captive" by Mamalaz. Note: This is not meant to be an accurate depiction of prison life.

A fluffy one-shot set on one Sunday sometime between the early chapters of After Today. Brendan and Ste take the kids home to Amy, and end up going on a drive. Written for Chloe's birthday ;)

Non-canon Stendan. 'Whodunit'/'Boy meets boy'. Hard 'M'.

Brendan drowns his sorrows in Dublin and - with a few sarcastic words of advice from his equally miserable new pal - he begins to realise that running away doesn't fix a thing. Then Steven pays him a visit and proves it. Stendan ONLY.

Brendan and Ste have an argument when Brendan's unjust jealousy boils over. Bit of a rubbish summary; it's really just sass, feistiness, couple-ness and smut.

Updated 21.11.12: Life-altering events are good for one thing, at least: revealing what's really important. A series of snapshots taken in the months after Ste's disaster of a wedding day as he and Brendan both navigate loss, difficult decisions and one huge leap of faith. Stendan.

Brendan rushes to the hospital to be with Steven and during his darkest hours he finally understands the true meaning of his faith. Stendan.

One-shot following Brendan over the 10 days after Ste is submitted to hospital. A good dosage of angst, heartbreak, banter, love and realism I hope. Bit of a long one, this.

A concerned Brendan pays Ste a visit whilst he deals with the aftermath of cancelling his wedding. In his fragile emotional state, Ste loses his self-control and finally takes what he's wanted for months. Smut. I mean it, it's filth. Stendan.

I've added a second chapter... just more drabbles, cos I quite enjoyed writing them. Chapter 2 from Ste's POV, Chapter 1 from Brendan's. Never tried this style before, so bear with me. Hope you enjoy.
