Summary
Bradley's been mostly alone his adult life. He'd seen what losing his dad did to his mom; he knows what losing both of them did to him. He's chosen a dangerous career, and he's never wanted to put a lover--or a family--through the hell of losing him.
But forgiving Maverick has changed things.

Summary
Outtakes/extra scenes taking place in the framework of The Long Road Home, in which Tommy Conlon makes his way from broken to healed, lost to found, and of Further Down the Road, in which we see Tommy and family later on in life.
Edited to leave only my favorite of these outtakes, the interview chapter. (see chapter 2 for the reason for the edit.)Series

Summary
"Freshman prodigy" wrestler Tommy Conlon has a lot to lose when he and his mother escape his abusive, alcoholic father to drive across the country and start a new life. His brother is only one of the things he loses. Even making a new, good friend in Tacoma isn't enough to change things, not really.
This fic covers a timeframe stretching from shortly before Tommy and Mrs. Conlon leave Pittsburgh until the time Tommy enlists in the Marines, approximately 3 years. BTW, this is NOT the Tommy of the TLRH series. Completely different story arc.

Summary
It's a long, long way back to the place where Tommy Conlon ought to be. Through loss and grief and PTSD, through learning to trust and making connections, he gets there and finds that maybe it's sweeter for having gone through the trials.
I adore comments, particularly if they're character observations! I'd love for you to leave them for me.

Summary
One-shots looking into the future with the Conlons. These are in rough chronological order, but each one will have a note detailing its place on the timeline.
Sequel to The Long Road Home. In this case, you really won't get much out of these unless you've read that one first - that is, it isn't independent.

Summary
After finishing high school in Tacoma, Tommy joins the Marines. He finds his niche, and he finds a family to replace the one he lost when he left Pittsburgh.
This will be a series of one-shots or vignettes covering the 10 to 11 years Tommy was in the USMC; they may not be in chronological order. This is mostly a Manny-Tommy bromance, with a side of Tommy-USMC bromance, and a look at the experiences that went into making Tommy the bitter guy seeking redemption (however subconsciously it may have been) in the film. Enjoy. :)
