    Summary

    "You know I have to punish you, or else I would be really unfair to harry" liam sighed as he stood up. Louis anger grew larger and larger with every millisecond. "You know who you're being very unfair now to? Me. You can trust harry without battling an eyelash but when it comes to me, you didn't even bother to get both sides of the situation!" Louis screamed, causing liam to freeze and his eyes widen in shock.

    "You know the whole world can tell that you love your new baby more, and you know what, I'm not gonna stop you from loving your dear Harold, maybe you could give him some of my toys, but who am I kidding? That boy wouldn't take anything that isn't brand spanking new." Louis sighed as he walked out the room, getting some of his clothes, his phone, wallet and important things.

    "Louis! Where are you going?!" Liam rushed out, his eyes held worry and regret. "Where I'm going won't be any of your business anymore, and you know I'm so so glad that I got out of my headspace because you know 4 year old louis would just take his punishment and cry himself to sleep alone!"

    Summary

    He’s just finished the second braid when there’s a squeak from down the hall like rubber on linoleum. His head shoots up, followed quickly by Kiara’s and Cleo’s. Pope is last, his dark eyes blinking rapidly as he follows everyone’s gaze to where John B is skidding – and slipping – to a stop in front of them.

    His hair stands up at every angle, the curls wild and messy the way they are after a full night of partying at The Boneyard, but his smile – though sleepy – is the brightest thing JJ has ever seen in his entire life. Teary-eyed, with a wrinkled shirt, mussed hair, and eyelids that look ready to close – John B has never looked happier.

    Looking between his friends slowly, John B’s eyes eventually settle on JJ. They stare at each other – something passing between them, something JJ can feel right in the center of his chest – and then John opens his mouth and practically sobs the words, “We have a daughter.”

    A collection of random stories within the Us Against The Universe, More Like series about JJ and his goddaughter.

    Summary

    He’s nine.

    The days all blend together in that house. No calendars. No routines. Just cigarette smoke curling in the ceiling corners and beer cans crushed under foot like it’s normal. Like it’s just part of the floor now. And the ticking of that old busted clock above the fridge, stuck at 6:12 since God-knows-when, like even time gave up and walked out.

    JJ’s sitting on the kitchen linoleum. Cross-legged. Quiet. Trying to breathe through his mouth so he doesn’t gag.

    His shirt’s damp.

    Sweat or tears or the shitty water from the busted pipe under the sink—he doesn’t know.

    There’s a spoon on the counter that wasn’t there yesterday. Bent funny. Black stuff in the bottom. Not his business. Nothing in this house is his business unless he wants to get popped in the mouth for asking too many goddamn questions.

    Summary

    His mom didn’t love him. She probably never had. His dad didn’t love him. He probably never would.

    The Pogues would be better off without him.

    Fuck.

    JJ didn’t know if he could deny, deny, deny himself out of this one.

    A short character study based on how I think JJ deals with certain things in his life throughout his childhood.

    Summary

    She lifted her head, the room tilting a little as she scowled at him, “You don’t get to act all high and mighty about this, Luke. I was just tryin’ to do the right thing!”

    He didn't even look at her.

    His eyes stayed on JJ, hands hovering, checking and rechecking, like touching him might somehow fix it.

    His breathing got heavier and heavier, like he couldn’t get enough air in. Then he moved.

    His fingers closed around the bottle. He ripped it off the table and sent it flying. Glass exploded against the wall. Whiskey streaked down in uneven trails

    Anna blinked at the mess.“Oh, look at you,” she drawled, “So fuckin’ dramatic.”

    Summary

    Shoupe had always kept an eye on JJ Maybank, whether JJ knew about it or not. From the first 911 dispatch to the Maybank house at three to the day JJ declared he didn’t need his help anymore at sixteen, Shoupe watched over him the best way he knew how.

    It wasn’t always good enough, but still sometimes things work out in the end.

    Summary

    He struggles, kicking and scratching, but there’s a hand in his hair and he can’t lift his head. There are words bouncing off the water, but JJ can’t hear any of them. Saltwater fills his ears, his nose, his mouth. It slips down his throat.

    And he thinks, oh. He thinks, I’m drowning.

    Somewhere deep, he thinks, I’ve been here before.

    OR

    JJ Maybank knows what it means to drown. He's been doing it his entire life.

    Summary

    "I mean... yeah, he hit me," he mutters, shrugging like it’s no big deal. "Everybody’s dad hits them sometimes, right?"

    The way john b and kie look at him tells him otherwise. They share a look, something sad, something that burns jj's skin.

    "No, jj," Kiara says sadly. "Not like that."

    Summary

    Sometimes he wakes up and wonders if there’s something wrong with him. Something twisted and broken and shattered that makes his own father hate him. That made his mother leave him. That’ll drive everyone away again until he’s sitting alone in his room and crying because there’s no one left to put on a fake smile on for. He wants to fix it, really, he does. He wants to be good and right and true but maybe he’s been beaten to many times to be fixed. Maybe he’s too far gone. Maybe, just maybe, some people can’t be saved. Maybe some people are cursed to hurt forever.

    This is just a look into JJ's past and his future inspired by scenes and quotes from the show.

    This will probably all be oneshots and rewrites of scenes in the show.

    Summary

    “Well, kid,” Shoupe‘s eyes are blue, though they don’t hold the rage of Luke Maybank, the desperation of Ward Cameron, the manipulation of Chandler Groff, or the distrust of JJ himself. They’re more open than JJ expects, gazing at him in a way that makes him nervous simply because it’s unfamiliar. “You’ve had a busy month, huh?”

    “Not really.”

    JJ’s lips quirk up before he can help himself. He tilts his head and raises a brow, “I think you might be forgetting an important detail there, Sheriff.”

    Shoupe raises his brow and lifts his notebook, “According to your good friend Cleo, Chandler Groff ‘knifed him real good.’ That about cover it?”

    OR

    With the crew back in Kildare, JJ has some run-ins with the different fathers who have shaped his life.

    Summary

    The first brush of his lips against her shoulder blade brings tears to her eyes. Eyelashes damp against her cheeks, she leans her head back, feels the warm rumble of his bare chest on her back. His warm hand slides along the back of her neck, tugs the hair tie from her curls, carefully unravels her bun so that her hair falls back to tickle his skin. Kiara doesn’t know why, but it’s the tenderness of his fingers through her curls that undoes her. Cracks her in a sudden sob.

    She lifts one hand to her mouth, sobs into it as the other reaches behind her to tangle in JJ’s hair. His lips are against the crown of her head, his chest vibrating with the soft murmur of his voice, “I’ve got you.”

    And it’s exactly what she needs to hear. It’s too much. It’s not enough. It’s heartbreak. It’s her heart stitched back into one solid, beating thing.

    OR

    Days after reuniting in Morocco and making their way back to the States, JJ and Kie spend the night in a motel and finally remember what it feels like to be in love.

    JJ had told her that he was already six years old. But then she started to ask why he’d called, and he had told her that his mom’s chest wasn’t rising like it’s supposed to.

    The lady then told him to stay calm, and started asking him where he lived. He didn’t understand why she would need to know that, but he’d told her anyway. She seemed to sweet not too. Maybe she knew mommy!
