Two boys, leading two very different lives. A chance meeting at a Youth Centre brings the two together; for the first time, Jude lets his guard down and even lets himself develop a crush but, selfishly, Connor keeps his secrets close until it's too late, leaving Jude to chose between his best friend and the life he's always known, for good or bad.

AU. Jude was twenty and not even thinking about love when he met Connor Stevens, a boy who took his heart almost immediately. But Connor has a past he still has to struggle with daily and resists falling in love, even as he and Jude grow closer. Even as it seems everything will be all right, Connor's past refuses to lie, and Jude finds himself in a battle with Connor's demons.

AU. After seeing Connor for the first time in years, Jude decides to break his years long silence and plunge headfirst into a relationship with his best friend. The course of true love never did run smooth, however, and the life of an Adams-Foster is never without a touch of chaos. When devastating news comes to Jude and Connor once more, there's nothing they can do to resist fate.

AU. After being married for eleven years and being separated for seven months, Connor has come to accept that his relationship with Jude is over completely. But when the worst of unexpected events finds the two of them sharing a house together once more, can they fix what they once broke?

Jude and Connor never expected to end up here.

It all started with a stubborn locker and some creaky bleachers.
