Summary
Callum can see the smoke before he’s even able to lay eyes on the crash itself. Fitzy’s driving today, which means he’s the one that’s gotta deal with getting through the congestion on the motorway, blocking them from their destination. This frees Callum up to survey the scene, and based on the thick cloud of black smoke rising in the air, he doesn’t like what he sees.
~*~
Or... someone is trying to kill Ben Mitchell, and Callum is charged with protecting him until the culprit can be found.

Summary
Binder clips are digging into his spine where they’re strewn across Jay’s desk, and he jerks away from the pinch, pushing impossibly closer against the long line of Callum’s body. He’d done a shitty job of clearing the surface, but it was the best his brain could manage through its sex-addled haze.

Summary
The title’s a play on words. This is imagined Ballum-related scenes that take place around those screened. Fillers for when the boys are absent from our screens, contemplating what they might be getting up to, or interpretations of what wider motivation was behind the existing scenes. It’s my attempt to tie up loose ends, deal with plot anomalies & generally try to work out how disparate scenes could have linked.
Wher possible, I reference the scene each chapter follows on from, often quoting one of the characters’ final lines from that scene as an aide-memoire. I will stay largely true to canon, although on the odd occasion may misrepresent the true order scene were played out in where that would suit my narrative better!
The explicit rating is there to cover those chapters depicting sexual content - while not frequent, these do exist where I feel Ballum's sexual relationship has something to add to their narrative. I always give a warning of sexual content ahead of any chapter containing it, so those of a more sensitive nature can skip past it if they prefer.
Comments, thoughts & musings are all welcome!

Summary
Rewriting this blurb as was worried it was off-putting. This is a reimagining of how they first met; Ben has fled Walford after fighting with his dad back in 2019 and has started working in a supermarket. He’s having a miserable time of it until he meets a handsome stranger at the checkouts.
Fair warning, this starts out pretty bleak and features a lot of references to physical abuse, violence, destruction of property and homophobia from the very beginning but it does get cheerier (and cosier and more romantic), I promise.

Summary
Together forever. That was what they had promised, that was what they had engraved on their matching bands, the carved letters pressed close to their skin. They only lasted four years, after all that. It wasn’t that the love between them wasn’t great, it was, it was that the pain dealt to them was greater, more than their marriage could survive.
Or; Ben and Callum get divorced but realise that maybe their marriage isn’t quite as over as they’d assumed.

Summary
Callum loves his job, he’s been a paramedic for 3 years now and has never been happier. Every time he puts on his uniform his heart swells with pride and a belonging he’s never felt before. He expected that feeling to dampen over time, but it hasn’t. Alongside his partner and best friend Lola, they work hard to keep the residents of Walford safe, responding to whatever is thrown at them with professionalism and composure.
That is, until one call when Callum is introduced to Ben Mitchell, and his life will never be the same again.

Summary
“Why did you call me?”
“Why did you pick up?”
Callum scoffs, tapping his forefinger against the leather of the steering wheel as he focuses on the road ahead. He tells the truth.
“Because you called.”
It’s Ben’s turn to scoff, though it’s unkind and harsh, something that has become somewhat familiar to Callum recently. This front he puts on despite everything they’ve been through, the fact that he still thinks he can hide from Callum, and the fact that Callum tries to fall for it every time just to make things easier between them.
Still, it doesn’t work.
“Why did you pick up?” Ben repeats. “You hate me.”
—
or, Ben calls in the middle of the night. Callum picks up despite their breakup.

Summary
Getting a job at the university here in Walford right after graduating had been more about luck and that one professor who believed in him than anything else and he seriously adores his job. He loves his colleagues, the department he works in and - with some very few exceptions - the students.
The only thing he could do without is Ben Mitchell.
