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

Ste hit bottom but he clawed his way back up, makes a new life for himself out of the wreckage of losing his one true love. Brendan returns after serving his time bringing everything he thought he knew into question and putting his life in danger. Can they make it through the turmoil to build a future together? Or are past doubts and betrayals destined to tear them apart? Ste POV.

Brendan Brady moves to Hollyoaks after the failure of his marriage. Ste has just turned 18, trying to become a respectable adult and is concentrating on being a good father. After what is meant to be a one night stand he doesn't expect to fall for the Irishman, changing both of their lives.

AU Stendan. Brendan needs to get him, Eileen and the kids out of the country to keep them safe so he books them a last minute holiday, where he meets Ste, their holiday rep. He finds he can't keep away from Ste no matter how hard he tries to begin with. Both of them have secrets, but can they find the strength to put love above everything else?

AU: Ste, Amy, her boyfriend and the kids are on holiday in Ireland. Leah wants to go horse riding. Ste falls for the yard owner.

18 year old Brendan is trying to control his feelings for 16 year old Steven, but as his emotions deepen, Ste gets critically ill. There's shocking revelations, family feuds, near death experiences and unexpected twists that are destined to rip them apart. Brendan is left with a choice. Steven? Or his father's respect and acceptance?

AU: Those are the rules, but some rules should be broken.

Brendan suffers long-term memory loss. Will he remember the people around him and everything that's happened to him, good and bad?

Brendan is a no nonsense Fire Chief at a station in Chester, Ste is a fiery accident prone recruit who turns up late on his first day and instantly clashes with Brendan. As sparks fly between them they spend their time bickering and putting out fires. Will the flames of love ignite for them? Rated M for later chapters. *Complete*

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.

Ste and Brendan AU multi-chapter fic. Brendan and Ste's separate lives keep colliding at various points in their lives and however much they try to keep things separate, they keep crossing paths. It seems like fate but these intense moments are all too fleeting, especially when Brendan has a family to think about. But the more Brendan sees him, the more he can't forget him.

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

A bit of Stendan angst and fluff.

Companion pieces to various parts of Breathe for me. All Brendan's POV. Not in order.

A short and fluffy Stendan one-shot for Valentine's day. Set in February 2016, and for anyone who keeps track, it fits in between Doing It Again and Say It Back.

Multi-chapter Stendan AU. Brendan's an agent with a bad reputation. He's banned from so much as touching any of the models he manages. Then Steven Hay walks into his life. How long can he resist?

AU: Brendan Brady is a hunter of demons. He was born into it, forged to be a weapon following family tradition. Ste Hay is a half demon, half human with a destiny that could spell the end of the world as it is known. When the two meet neither they nor the demons realise the implications nor the consequences.

A very under prepared short story. Stendan

I wasn't planning on writing a Christmas fic, but after eating my own body weight in food and having several glasses of wine, this happened. Sorry for the delay - FF wasn't working most of yesterday. Merry Christmas everyone - hope you had a good one! #StendanReunion #HollyoaksLater2014

Brendan being a tease...Stendan smut basically. One Shot. *Complete*

The UK isn't big enough for him and his Steven anymore; they're too well known, there's not enough space to get lost in. America is perfect for them - nothing but miles of open road, anonymous towns, faceless people who don't look at them twice and if they do… well, Brendan makes sure they don't look a third time.

Brendan comes home for a quite night in and finds someone unexpected underneath his shower. Five chapter fic.

Brendan's no doctor but even he can see that Steven has the flu. Now, if only he could get Steven to see that. Established relationship.

Walker changes the course of Ste and Brendan's lives forever.

AU from revenge week. Walker's plan succeeds, sort of. Ste gets shot, like he's supposed to and Brendan gets a flatmate, which was not part of the plan.
