Summary
“Deadline’s in a month, Butler, and I am not fucking having the team lose out on work because you’re having a bleeding temper tantrum.”
He felt like he was... starved of it, like the ache in his heart if he thought of it for too long was some sort of insatiable hunger only quenched by him having a fucking dummy in his mouth.
With seasonal deadlines looming over Tuckersoft, Stefan is under pressure to create as much new content as he can, which means having to reorganise his priorities. It soon becomes clear that he has made a wrong choice along the way. Enter Colin, who helps him rethink and set him off on a different path.

Summary
Stefan isn't Colin's baby. Well, he isn’t wrong; as much as Stefan wants to be, he certainly isn’t Colin’s baby - and he never will be. There’ll always be someone who pips him to the post in that respect.
When the pitter patter of baby feet enters Colin's flat, Stefan begins to feel--just a tad, mind you--insecure about his littlespace. Colin finally decides to take matters into his own hands, although Stefan isn't entirely sure he likes his solution, either. But Colin, well, he's magic... he knows just how to wrap Stefan around his little fingers.
“Just because you relax like this. Doesn’t take away from your working life. Y’know, I can slide into Tuckersoft off my face on acid and no one gives a shit because I still work.”

Summary
"Colin," Stefan wrung his hands, nervously. "What d’you think baby milk tastes like?”
Stefan has a choice to make - not a big choice, not an important choice - a choice involving baby bottles, of all things. He finds it a little difficult to decide. Colin helps him, just as any good caregiver should, and then things are right with the world once more.
“If you won’t make the choice,” Colin said, leaning forward and resting his cig on an ashtray, “then I will make it for you.”

Summary
It was... a time out, he supposed, in all but name. Not that he necessarily agreed with the concept — not with Stefan, anyway, because he was nearly twenty and agreeing to do such a thing made Colin feel as though he was going to free-fall even deeper into the hole with Stefan’s own autonomy clutched in one hand — but it was what it was.
Colin’s concept of time out is a little... different to what Stefan first expects it to be.
