  1. Summary

    This is the story of Maurice Hall, Clive Durham, Alec Scudder and some other characters from 'Maurice' by E.M. Forster. They are based on the novel (1913) as well as on the film by James Ivory (1987). Slight difference: my fic is set in the late 20th and the early 21th century, as told by the four main characters during the Covid pandemic.
    The series should be viewed as a modern sequel to the original story. Our Forster friends go through the craziest adventures, experiencing love, happiness, sadness and distress and a muddle in general.

  5. Summary

    The many lovely ATWD fics on AO3 inspired me to create my own stories. The film and the message it bears is serious and I cannot praise the editor and the actors enough for their outstanding work. It set an important mark in the global conception of LGBT rights in Georgia.

    My fics, however, are slightly different. Post-canon Merab and Irakli are in fact steady lovers, David, Sopo and Mary are very supportive of their relationship and all is hunky-dory in Tbilisi.

    It isn't. It definitely isn't. Our friends go through the craziest adventures and get into trouble while saving Aleko. Poor Aleko! But he'll be fine too.

    Summary

    When Tim Laughlin, a kind but lonely social worker, helps a grieving father home from a bar, he doesn’t expect it to change his life.

    Hawkins Fuller was supposed to move to Milan with his wife — but one night and one kiss unravel decades of denial.

    It’s a story about loss, coming out late, and finding love. A modern AU greeting to my beloved ’80s Hawk and Tim.

    Summary

    Hawk’s life is in ruins. At 54, his wife Lucy has just discovered that he cheated on her with other men. Now, in the middle of a divorce, fired from the law firm still somehow run by his 85-year-old bigoted father, and effectively exiled from the life he built, he is forced to start over. When his best friend Marcus invites him to San Francisco to join his husband’s LGBTQIA+ nonprofit as a legal advisor, Hawk reluctantly says yes.

    Tim has spent his entire adult life working as a social worker alongside his best friend Frankie. He has been with his boyfriend Arthur for 14 years, and everything in his world feels... settled. Predictable. Until Hawkins Fuller walks into it.

    Or: The modern setting AU as a quiet nod to the 70s episode.

    Summary

    Tim Laughlin leads a quiet life. Nothing exciting ever happens to him. He teaches high school, reads his beloved romance novels, and spends time with his friends. His dream of finding love remains unanswered—always just out of reach.

    But one night, while browsing his favorite bookshop, he meets Hawk. Confident, magnetic, and flirtatious, Hawk sparks an instant attraction unlike anything Tim has ever felt before.

    What begins as something purely physical—Hawk insists on keeping it that way—quickly becomes more for Tim. This is what he’s been waiting for his whole life.

    The only question is… will Hawk ever see it that way too?
