🟪 sacred word, bind me by @brokendrums // brokendrums [E, 8K]
Tim takes a vow of silence, Hawk vows to break it.
🟪 we are tragically meant to be by @fuddlewuddle // fuddlewuddle [E, 1.5K]
He looks softer in his sleep, Hawk muses; fingertips lightly skimming over the ridge of Tim’s cheek bone, the curve of his ear feeling the small indent from where the frames of his spectacles rest whenever he’s awake.
Part 1 of fellow travelers
🟪 feeding on chaos and living in sin by @fuddlewuddle // fuddlewuddle [E, 2K]
Tim doesn't expect Hawk to call.
And even when he does, the call doesn't go as Tim expects.
But then he should probably stop trying to predict what Hawkins Fuller will do.
Part 2 of fellow travelers
🟪 more. by @redmyeyes // redmyeyes [E, 1.8K]
"You would drop to your knees and blow me right here if I told you to," Hawk said, marveling at the realization.
Part 2 of Fellow Travelers *
*Red has their own series, not to be confused with fuddlewuddle's series of the same name. Two different series'--same name!
🟪 I'd walk a thousand miles without my shoes to make it work by @fuddlewuddle // fuddlewuddle [E, 1.5K]
The strip of milk on Tim’s top lip gives Hawk ideas.
Part 3 of Fellow Travelers
🟪 all through the midnight. by southernkiss [E, 9K]
Hawk's eyes burned with lust and something dark, something that both terrified and excited Tim.
🟪 teacher's pet by @ascandalinpink // ascandalinpink [E, 10K, WIP]
Tim’s first class for today is his first class ever in this particular elective. It’s a foreign affairs course taught by professor Fuller, whom Tim has never met, but he’s heard about him. All high praise, which leaves this course highly sought after.
As the professor enters the classroom and the chatter around him dies down, Tim understands perhaps why this course is so popular. And it might have nothing to do with the curriculum itself.
Or, Tim starts sleeping with and develops feelings for his college professor.
🟪 have you ever? by Cozy_coffee [M, 1.4K]
“Has anyone ever licked that cute little ass of yours?”
A fic in which a bold Hawk introduces a somewhat shy Tim to the pleasures of rimming.
🟪 a joy, hard learned by @partialresonance // partialresonance [E, 12K, WIP]
Tim and Hawk get snowed in together.
Later, Tim comes back from the war a changed man.
🟪 perhaps, perhaps, perhaps it's real by drabbleswabbles [NR, 16K, WIP]
And then it happened. The metallic screech of the gate, the shuffle of men stepping out beyond the prison walls. And suddenly there he was. His hair was shorter than he’d ever seen it. And his glasses were different. But it was him. Their eyes met. Tim stared at him in wide-eyed shock before recognition melted his features into a confused outrage.
Basically a fix-it in which Hawk finds himself back in the early 70s.
🟪 sweet by Kimora_V [M, 1.4K]
Tim noticed how Hawk is being sweet lately.
Or, what happened before the cuddle scene in episode 5.
🟪 this spells love by Cozy_coffee [M, 540]
When Hawk gently cups his cheek and calls him ‘my beautiful boy’ and looks at him with nothing but pure, everlasting love, that is all Tim’s heart needed in this tender moment.
🟪 flame trees by @waterlilyrose // WaterlilyRose [G, 1K]
(“I received a package from Marcus a few days later. It had been sent by Tim. I thought that Tim’s last gift (and a gentle fuck you to me) was that paperweight. But no...”
“What did he send?” Kimberley asked gently. Her father had looked at her and almost seemed ready to tell her… but then he closed his mouth.
“More than I deserved” was all the answer he gave. Kimberley wondered if he would even be Hawkins Fuller anymore if he didn’t have some secrets.)
Or, Hawk keeps Tim's final parting gift close as he faces his mortality.
🟪 lost somewhere by @trainofcommand // anagrrl [E, 1K]
Humming to himself a little, fingers digging into his palms briefly, Tim leans forward.
🟪 together, here and now by Kimora_V [NR, 1.8K]
Hawk and Tim are happy, set in the modern day. Because I am just tired of sad stories all the time.
🟪 love by ikharys [E, 1.8K]
"It's going to be okay," Hawk whispers.
Something in Tim's eyes makes it clear that he doesn't believe it, but he's not willing to argue.
Or, the cabin scene, but a little different.
🟪 mad about the boy by @redmyeyes redmyeyes [E, 2.8K]
“Tell me,” Hawk said, tilting Tim’s head back to give his forehead a quick kiss, “what does my boy want for his birthday?”
“Am I still? Your boy?”
Part 3 of Fellow Travelers
🟪 you're my religion by anonymous [E, 956]
After Tim and Hawk’s conversation on the bench, Tim does go to Church, and eventually finds that Hawk has attended the same mass.
Things go awry in the chapel.
🟪 i want you to fuck me by @carnivalrow // nightfall_in_winter [E, 2K]
THAT scene from Episode 8 but slightly different. :) Chapter 1 is Hawk's POV, Chapter 2 is Tim's POV.
🟪 who do you belong to? by mrschesapeakeripper [E, 2.5K]
“That’s my good boy.” All those years later, and the praise still made him blush.
Or, the missing scene from the mutual masturbation episode. None of that "no touching" nonsense.

Prompted by: anonymous
🥛 Within The Heart of Me
by drabbleswabbles* [NR, 9K]
Lucy goes to the hospital to talk to Tim. When she arrives, Hawk is already there.
Otherwise known as a prompt fill that wanders a bit off the mark, but is close enough in spirit to give credit where credit is due as far as inspiration goes.
Prompted by: @beyondxmeasure
🥛 Darkness Before the Dawn
by @beyondxmeasure | Cyantific [NR, 1K]
It’s June 1944, following the US offensive against the German-led Caesar line that tore through a small squad of the 141st Regiment, killing two men and wounding others, along with Sergeant Hawkins Fuller. Following the blast of the Nazi’s K5 railway gun, he underwent surgery to repair sustained shrapnel damage and is now recovering in the Army’s 32nd Evac Hospital. In the bed next to him lies Corporal Marcus Gaines from the 85th Infantry Division, also wounded in action.
Or, the story of how Hawk and Marcus met.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 you just make my whole world weep (i'm at your feet)
by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup [E, 1K]
Even now the thought of the shape of his mouth imprinted on Tim's skin makes him shudder as he slides down Tim's body past his ridiculous Christmas sweater.
Or, a blowjob scene that went very differently.
Prompted by: @startagainbuttercup
🥛 Let Me Shower You With My Love
by @beyondxmeasure | Cyantific [M, 7K]
Hawk helps Tim in the shower.
A 1986 canon divergent fix-it.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 like being home
by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup
When Hawk turns eighteen, he expects the name of Kenneth Willard to appear on his skin, tattooed on his arm or his leg, a soulmate mark that bonds you forever with the person you belong to.
Hawk doesn't know what you're supposed to feel for your soulmate, but what he feels for Kenny, his sweet Kenny must be very close, or at least Hawk thinks it is.
Or, a soulmate AU one person asked for and I still managed to do it wrong.
Prompted by: @ishipallthings
🥛 I Belong to You
by @beyondxmeasure | Cyantific [E, 2K]
This isn’t even close to how he saw their night ending, but here they are, and if Tim wants it rough, who is Hawk to deny him?
Or, the ‘Hit me.’ scene… but a little different. In which Hawk still hits Tim, just not where you think.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 Please Ease My Pain.
by Southernkiss* [E, 3K]
As the four men shed their clothing, their motivations varied. Some sought to satiate a thirst that could never be quenched, while others craved the rush of dominance. But little did they know, their desires would lead them down a path of self-discovery and into a twisted reality they never could have imagined. The darkness that resided within them and in this new world consumed them, tainting every aspect of their beings. And as they delved deeper into this abyss, they soon realized the true consequences of their actions.
Prompted by: @doodlingawaits
🥛 gold-skinned, eager baby
by @lispenard-street | lispenardstreet [E, 10K]
Tim sets out for Fire Island with a single goal: to dig Hawk out of his pit of self-destruction.
As it turns out, Hawk is after something else entirely.
A 1979 fix-it… of sorts.
Prompted by: @lispenard-street
🥛 you should be in my space (you should be in my life)
by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup [E, 3K]
What if Tim let Hawk touch him during their mutual masturbation session.

🥛 In my nothing, you meant everything to me.by @in-our-special-place | Cupping_Cakes [M, 636]

Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 make sure he knows
by b3y0ndm3asur3* [G, 693]
“How did you manage it?” Marcus asks Hawk, not making eye contact.
Hawk squints at him, head pounding from the amount of liquor he’s consumed over the past couple of days. “Manage what?”
There’s a pause. Hawk watches Marcus swallow. “Losing a kid,” he says eventually through gritted teeth, like he has to force the words out.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 is it over now?
by @satelarry | satelarry [M, 42K]
Seeing the love of your life walk away without being able to tell him that you love him has to be one of the worst situations a person can go through. But Hawk decided to fulfill Tim's request, knowing it will be the last.
What happens when he wakes up, 18 years before, with the knowledge of what's going to happen if he makes the same decisions?
Does the ending always stay the same?
Or, the Time Travel AU in which the only thing ruining Hawk's plan is Tim's stubbornness.
Prompted by: @ishipallthings
🥛 In his voice I heard decay, the plastic face forced to portray.
by @in-our-special-place | Cupping_Cakes [M, 557]
Marcus finally broke the silence, his voice heavy with sorrow. 'Hawk,' he said, his gaze fixed on his glass. 'I have something to tell you.'
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 So simple now
by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup [G, 581]
Hawk has loved Tim his whole life, too. He's loved him since the minute he saw him smiling adorably on that election night. He's loved him since the moment he felt him writhing in his arms, lost in pleasure. He's loved him for thousands of years, even before he was born. He loved him every second of every minute he spent with him, and he loved him even more when they were apart.
Or, the "I have loved you my whole life…" scene, but in Hawk's POV, a lot of overwhelming feelings.
Prompted by: @lispenard-street
🥛 I'll follow you down and I am here right beside you.
by @in-our-special-place | Cupping_Cakes [E, 1K]
Tim's eyes were filled with a mix of satisfaction and sadness, as if he too felt the ache of their lost connection.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 There’s no place I'd rather you be than with me.
by @in-our-special-place |Cupping_Cakes [E, 719]
Their embrace was raw and primal, fueled by the angst of wanting each other but being afraid to admit it.
Prompted by: @ishipallthings
🥛 something i can't go without
by @satelarry | satelarry [E, 7K]
Hawk goes to Fire Island to escape dealing with his feelings but that isn't far away from Tim's kind heart. Perhaps he doesn't want it to be.
Or, The Meat Rack AU.
Prompted by: @beyondxmeasure
🥛 Just keep on usin' me Until you use me up.
by Southernkiss* [E, 1K]
Tim could feel Hawk's hot breath on his neck as he whispered in his ear, 'You want to be loud, Tim? Well, go ahead. I want to hear you.'
Prompted by: @deputy-buck
🥛 Yours forever anyway
by @bluebellsinburbank | ConsumingLove (Bluebellstar) [G, 733]
Hawk and Tim dance together.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 Until next time
by @lovebunnie | space_kid [T, 1K]
There was a moment in time where he could have run into Tim in this hospital with his newborn baby. He could have seen the devastation in his eyes as the betrayal became real, no more an abstract concept born in the early hours of the morning. Hawk had just missed watching Tim lay eyes on his son for the first time. He itched for a cigarette.
Prompted by: @feelingpure
🥛 He calls late at night
by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup [T, 1K]
Hawk calls Tim after Jackson's death
Prompted by: @lispenard-street & @ishipallthings
🥛 Love is an angel disguised as lust
by @bluebellsinburbank | ConsumingLove (Bluebellstar) [E, 2K]
Hawk's eyes darkened, from outshining the daytime sky to rivaling the night. His lips curved into a wicked smirk. If Tim didn't know better, he might suspect he'd just played right into Hawk's hands.
"Educate me."
That wasn't exactly what Tim had intended. But, his attention caught by the glint off Hawk's wedding ring, Tim decided he could work with that.
Or, the edging fic that's probably sixty percent soft.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 My religion is you
by Southernkiss* [E, 734]
Tim bit his lip; his body was already aching for more. 'You spank them,' he whispered, his voice trembling with desire.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 I wave my hands and I got you
by Southernkiss* [E, 616]
He belonged to him, ring on his finger or not.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 I’ll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me
by @in-our-special-place |Cupping_Cakes [M, 1K]
Tim's voice was a gentle whisper. 'I know, Hawk. But I'm here. You're not alone in this.'
Prompted by: @ishipallthings
🥛 We’ll be on the road like jack kerouac
by @jesterlesbian | captainquint [M, 4K]
He tried to think of what Tim would do or say. The man who had only spoken to his son a handful of times over one weekend in 1968, but had seemed to understand him far better than Hawk ever had.
The business card felt like it was burning a hole in his pocket.
An idea burst to life in Hawk’s mind. This was an emergency if he’d ever seen one.
“What would you say to coming with me to San Francisco?”
Or, Hawk and Jackson go on a cross-country road trip to San Francisco.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 Like to make you comfy cozy
by @bluebellsinburbank | ConsumingLove (Bluebellstar) [G, 1K]
During a lazy night in bed together, Tim sings Hawk to sleep.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 So give me just a little, baby Just something to get by.
by @in-our-special-place | Cupping_Cakes [E, 1.3K]
Tim couldn't help but think that this was the best milk delivery he had ever received.
Prompted by: @beyondxmeasure
🥛 You take my body I give you heat.
by @in-our-special-place | Cupping_Cakes [E, 1K]
Without hesitation, Tim bent down and began to lick the milk off of Hawk's body, savoring the taste and feel of Hawk's skin under his tongue. He traced every muscle and curve, his lips and tongue sending waves of pleasure through Hawk's body.
Prompted by: @startagainbuttercup
🥛 champagne lovers
by @satelarry | satelarry [NR, 12K]
It's awards season, and what better way to celebrate than with a Hawk/Tim awards AU. Whether they're strolling the red carpet together, supporting each other as they're up for awards, or just presenting something. It's up to you. Just 'tis the season for this kind of AU!
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 You taste divine

Or, the Star Trek AU one (1) person asked for.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 Beautiful Things
by @carrotcakecrumble | LuxLox [M, 1K]
I turn away from the radio I’d just been tuning, there’s a crackle and pop on the wave, but Miller’s ‘Over the rainbow’ is just about spattering through in tune. Kenny says something about how he loves this one. It could be the first time he’s hearing it, for all I know. He falls in love with everything.
A multi-chapter fic following a young Hawk and Kenny throughout their relationship, from beginning to end.
Prompted by: Anonymous
🥛 the thrill of your sweet embrace
by @redmyeyes | redmyeyes [E, 4.4K]
"Somewhere, a butterfly opened its wings."— Erik Larson, Isaac's Storm

🥛 all those letters unsent and that garden ungrown
by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup [T, 1.4K]
Dear Tim,
I know I promised I won't write, but I believe what I really promised is not to send you letters, and this one I'm not going to send, so it is not a violation of my promise. Skippy, I miss you more than I thought I could. It's your birthday and I can't help but think about you the whole day, you consume my every thought and I can't stop wondering, what would it be like if you were here.
Or, the letters Hawk never sent.
Prompted by: Anonymous
don't try to explain the miracle by @greyblujay // greyblujay
NR | 4.7K WIP | Hawk/Lucy & Hawk/Tim | Father Tim AU
All churches smelled the same, give or take a layer of incense. It's 1967, and Hawkins Fuller's vacation takes an unexpected turn.
▫️▫️▫️
After three sentences, this fic and its gripping prose had me slamming furiously on the 'subscribe' button. It pulls you right in. The characterization and dialogue for Hawk, Tim and Jackson was so on point, it was like I could hear the words coming straight from their mouths. We don't have many Father Tim fics, but I have a feeling this one will stay on top of many people's favorites list even when we do. Yes, it's a WIP, but don't let that stop you from diving in!
Chapter two is up now!

🥛 Six-word stories from every decade by @carnivalrow // nightfall_in_winter [NR, 12]
A heart for sale. Used once...* Hawk
Part 1- stories from the 60s. Part 2 -stories from the 70s.
🥛 you know, you’ve been rather sweet lately by tangerineflamingo* [NR, 255]
They stay like this, wrapped in each other’s embrace, their bodies entwined in the warm glow of sunlight.
Part 1 of fellow travelers drabbles
🥛there is no sin in what you & I just did by @beyondxmeasure // Cyantific [M, 250]
The burden of guilt weighs heavily on Tim for what he's about to do, but for now, he sets aside any conflicting feelings where God and Hawkins Fuller are concerned, along with the cross around his neck.
🥛 Blessed by @lookturtles // look_turtles [G, 300]
Tim is sick and Hawk takes care of him.
🥛 Golden Fire by @itslexduh // ItsLexDuh [T, 478]
A little drabble about Tim seeing Hawk with his wedding ring for the first time in 1957.
🥛 so you'll remember me by voidedcat* [G, 548]
Hawk finds the cufflinks Tim'd kept after all these years. But now it's too damn late.
🥛 Yours Truly by Cozy_coffee* [G, 630]
Love is…the three times Hawk said “I love you” to Tim.
🥛 if i have to switch the lights off, i wanna switch them off with you by @startagainbuttercup // startagainbuttercup [T, 661]
"I don't remember our last kiss," Hawk blurted.
Tim's face instantly changed as he parted his lips in surprise.
"The whole time you were there, with the doctors, I thought you were dying, and I couldn't remember when was the last time we kissed." Hawk's voice trembled a little. He looked at his lap. "There were so many, but I just couldn't remember the last one."
Or, a little scene after, "Did you forget that I'm a convicted felon?"
Part 3 of Fellow Travelers 1x06 extra scenes
🥛 You didn't have to love me like you did, but you did, and I thank you. by @in-our-special-place // Cupping_Cakes [M, 708]
“He wasn't my friend. He was the man I loved.”
🥛 Cherry blossom by @carnivalrow // nightfall_in_winter [M, 740]
There is a moment when they both travel west and Tim falls asleep in the car. An excerpt is provided. This fic examines Hawk's thoughts in that precise moment.
🥛 Liability by @solitudinariann // Dysterscribbles [T, 804]
Angstier version of the scene where Hawk asks Tim to write a letter for Mary and calls his friends a 'liability' which makes Tim think Hawk must think of him as a liability too. Angst and something more ensues.
🥛 The Twelth of Never by ghostandwitness* [M, 973 WIP]
What if Hawk didn’t prevent Tim from passing the security clearance?
A retelling of Hawk and Tim’s story where their affair is continued through Tim’s employment at State, for those of us who want a different ending (but of course, not without a hard time getting there-After all it's Hawk and Tim).
Hi there! Could you recommend a well written fic with a...happier ending? :) Where after a while they make different decisions (especially Hawk) and somehow manage to fix things. Alive. I saw a summary where the author fixes things, but Skippy kind of has the same fate only later and in a different way... and, well... it's ok if it's not all fluff but I would prefer not to cry out my eyes at the end. But if you say it still worth it, I believe you.. :) Thank you!
As you know, happy endings in this fandom (or at least within canon) are hard to come by. But we’ve suffered enough, haven't we?
I hope these feel good fics hit the mark and hopefully work towards offsetting the extensive therapy that loving this show undoubtedly requires.
Happy reading!

#angst with a happy ending
❤️🩹 A Joy, Hard Learned by @partialresonance // partialresonance [E, 12K]
Tim and Hawk get snowed in together. Later, Tim comes back from the war a changed man.
The dynamics between Tim and Hawk are on another level, which just adds to the heat on this already scorching hot, emotional smut. That said, it’s only one layer of this fic. The building angst with the happy ending that follows, absolutely stellar! Not to mention, the cozy winter atmosphere. What else do you need? Grab yourself a nice cup of cocoa and settle in by the fire with this one!
❤️🩹 Anywhere With You by @kayleebye // kayleebye [T, 3K]
Hawk shows up at Tim's door with news after breaking-up with him several weeks ago. Tim isn't interested in hearing anything from Hawk, but one sentence changes everything. Will Hawk and Tim finally have a chance at happiness?
This one I haven’t read yet, but it’s got a lot of what you’re looking for… true love, angst and a happy ending fix-it all wrapped up in a snug little 3K word package. Give it a shot!
#fluff
❤️🩹 A Package of Sunshine by @bluebellsinburbank // ConsumingLove(Bluebellstar) [T, 1K]
Hawk and Tim have a day at the beach.
This should be called A Ray of Sunshine, because that’s exactly what it feels like. It’s so refreshing to have these fluffy moments, a snapshot into a happier time between these two. And delightful banter with Marcus and Frankie in tow… We love to see!
#fix-it, #time travel, #canon divergence
❤️🩹 Cheek to Cheek by Iviviendo* [NR, 1K]
A special guest arrives unannounced at the Laughlin house on Christmas Day in 1953.
A fluffy little Christmas fix-it, light and cozy. I felt like I was right there at the dinner table, laughing and singing along with the rest of the family. Even Tim’s grandma is pleasant and cheerful, a welcome change from the cranky Grandma Gaffney we see in the book.
❤️🩹 Everything, Everything by tinypurpleghost* [E, 4.8K]
Hawk wakes up in 1968 and everything is different.
A sprinkle of angst with a heavy dose of heart-warming fluff, along with some wonderfully tender (and super hot) smut. Short and sweet, this time travel fix-it will be the perfect balm to mend your broken heart.
❤️🩹 the pawn in every lover's game by hyperfixfic* [G, 8K]
Lucy decides to face Hawk after Mr. Laughlin slipped a letter under Hawk’s apartment door instead of ignoring the problems of her marriage. And there are many.
This one is more book-inspired, and Lucy-focused, which is something of a rarity. Love to see it!
❤️🩹 Sands of Time (Turn Backwards) by @brouill3r // brouiller [NR, 7K WIP Ch.3/?]
1987 Hawkins Fuller is full of regrets for the life he's lived, though Tim once told him he regrets nothing. Hawk so wishes he could say the same.
In the still night air of a hotel room, clutching a cracked paperweight to his chest like it's carved of the finest gold, Hawk gets his wish.
Or, a time-travel fix-it fic that nobody asked for.
This has me glued to the edge of my seat. The pacing of the first chapter pulls you right in, adding to the tension in with its punctuated rhythm--absolutely perfect for the mindset of Hawk trying to come to grips with what is happening around him.
❤️🩹 Again, only better by@madsmeetsmisha // madsmeetsmisha [M, 11K WIP Ch. 4/9]
Hawk had no idea what was really going on here. All he knew was that he was back in 1954 and a completely distraught Tim was standing outside his door. And he also knew that he certainly wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
*DING DING DING… Haven’t read this yet, but by the summary and tags, this sounds like it might check all (or most) of your boxes… Tags: fix-it, someone dies from AIDS but not Tim, second changes, all the fluff we need to get over this
❤️🩹 Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps It’s Real by drabbleswabbles* [NR, 24K Ch. 9/?]
And then it happened. The metallic screech of the gate, the shuffle of men stepping out beyond the prison walls. And suddenly there he was. His hair was shorter than he’d ever seen it. And his glasses were different. But it was him. Their eyes met. Tim stared at him in wide-eyed shock before recognition melted his features into a confused outrage.
Basically a fix-it in which Hawk finds himself back in the early 70s.
I haven’t had the chance to dive into this one, but it’s at the top of my list, along with so many other readers who can’t stop singing its praises. I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as they do.
❤️🩹 The Twelfth of Never by ghostandwitness* [M, 973 WIP Ch. 1/?]
What if Hawk didn’t prevent Tim from passing the security clearance?
A retelling of Hawk and Tim’s story where their affair is continued through Tim’s employment at State, for those of us who want a different ending (but of course, not without a hard time getting there-After all it's Hawk and Tim).
I feel like this one might be flying under the radar, but it deserves all the fanfare. So far, this one is fantastic, and while it’s still currently a WIP, and can’t guarantee it will be exactly what you’re looking for, I can confidently say it will be enjoyed.
❤️🩹 But If You Don’t Dear, Confess by@bluebellsinburbank // ConsumingLove(Bluebellstar) [G, 3K]
"Have you ever considered yourself to be in love with another male?"
And that was the question, wasn't it?
Giving gifts, receiving gifts, walking like a gay man - like that could even be quantified; sex and sodomy. Those things were nothing, a mere drop in the ocean compared to that one question.
Had he ever been in love with another man?
For a moment, he almost expected to think of Kenny. That sweet boy who loved beautiful things, who'd followed Hawk into a war none of them had any place being.
But Kenny was the furthest thing from his mind. No, his mind was alive with memories of his Skippy.
Or, Tim Laughlin is a little harder to get out of Hawk's head, and the choice between yes and no isn't as easy to make.
This is part 1 of a series that follows Hawk and Tim as they run away to Italy together, after Hawk fails the polygraph on purpose. Each fic is a standalone, so if you’re uneasy about getting too attached to a WIP, this might be for you!

all those letters unsent and that garden ungrown by @startagainbuttercup // startagainbuttercup
Teen & Up | 1.4K | Hawk/Tim | letters unsent | Canon Divergence
Dear Tim,
I know I promised I won't write, but I believe what I really promised is not to send you letters, and this one I'm not going to send, so it is not a violation of my promise.
Skippy, I miss you more than I thought I could. It's your birthday and I can't help but think about you the whole day, you consume my every thought and I can't stop wondering what would it be like if you were here.
Or, the letters Hawk never sent.

#angst with a happy ending
❤️🩹 A Joy, Hard Learned by @partialresonance // partialresonance [E, 12K]
Tim and Hawk get snowed in together. Later, Tim comes back from the war a changed man.
The dynamics between Tim and Hawk are on another level, which just adds to the heat on this already scorching hot, emotional smut. That said, it’s only one layer of this fic. The building angst with the happy ending that follows, absolutely stellar! Not to mention, the cozy winter atmosphere. What else do you need? Grab yourself a nice cup of cocoa and settle in by the fire with this one!
❤️🩹 Anywhere With You by @kayleebye // kayleebye [T, 3K]
Hawk shows up at Tim’s door with news after breaking-up with him several weeks ago. Tim isn’t interested in hearing anything from Hawk, but one sentence changes everything. Will Hawk and Tim finally have a chance at happiness?
This one I haven’t read yet, but it’s got a lot of what you’re looking for… true love, angst and a happy ending fix-it all wrapped up in a snug little 3K word package. Give it a shot!
#fluff
❤️🩹 A Package of Sunshine by @bluebellsinburbank // ConsumingLove(Bluebellstar) [T, 1K]
Hawk and Tim have a day at the beach.
This should be called A Ray of Sunshine, because that’s exactly what it feels like. It’s so refreshing to have these fluffy moments, a snapshot into a happier time between these two. And delightful banter with Marcus and Frankie in tow… We love to see!
#fix-it, #time travel, #canon divergence
❤️🩹 Cheek to Cheek by Iviviendo* [NR, 1K]
A special guest arrives unannounced at the Laughlin house on Christmas Day in 1953.
A fluffy little Christmas fix-it, light and cozy. I felt like I was right there at the dinner table, laughing and singing along with the rest of the family. Even Tim’s grandma is pleasant and cheerful, a welcome change from the cranky Grandma Gaffney we see in the book.
❤️🩹 Everything, Everything by tinypurpleghost* [E, 4.8K]
Hawk wakes up in 1968 and everything is different.
A sprinkle of angst with a heavy dose of heart-warming fluff, along with some wonderfully tender (and super hot) smut. Short and sweet, this time travel fix-it will be the perfect balm to mend your broken heart.
❤️🩹 the pawn in every lover’s game by hyperfixfic* [G, 8K]
Lucy decides to face Hawk after Mr. Laughlin slipped a letter under Hawk’s apartment door instead of ignoring the problems of her marriage. And there are many.
This one is more book-inspired, and Lucy-focused, which is something of a rarity. Love to see it!
❤️🩹 Sands of Time (Turn Backwards) by @brouill3r // brouiller [NR, 7K WIP Ch.3/?]
1987 Hawkins Fuller is full of regrets for the life he’s lived, though Tim once told him he regrets nothing. Hawk so wishes he could say the same.
In the still night air of a hotel room, clutching a cracked paperweight to his chest like it’s carved of the finest gold, Hawk gets his wish.
Or, a time-travel fix-it fic that nobody asked for.
This has me glued to the edge of my seat. The pacing of the first chapter pulls you right in, adding to the tension in with its punctuated rhythm–absolutely perfect for the mindset of Hawk trying to come to grips with what is happening around him.
❤️🩹 Again, only better by@madsmeetsmisha // madsmeetsmisha [M, 11K WIP Ch. 4/9]
Hawk had no idea what was really going on here. All he knew was that he was back in 1954 and a completely distraught Tim was standing outside his door. And he also knew that he certainly wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.
*DING DING DING… Haven’t read this yet, but by the summary and tags, this sounds like it might check all (or most) of your boxes… Tags: fix-it, someone dies from AIDS but not Tim, second changes, all the fluff we need to get over this
