    Summary

    “…You serious?” Healy scoffed, disbelief nestled into the edges of his face. “Come on, March, that’s-“

    “An in-depth investigation tactic,” March finished for him, brain too buzzed to think about any potential implications right now, “I work best when I’m in the zone.”

    “And you want to get in the zone of someone I’m… Wooing?”

    “You make it sound weird.”

    Healy started to smile. Because of course he fucking did. “It is weird, March.”

    or: healy, supposedly, has more skill than march in the seduction department. like any seasoned p.i. worth their salt, march investigates this claim. thoroughly.

    March is such a loser. I love him deeply. Of course he would approach the topic of his potential relationship with Healy this way. The idea of his wife’s parents being so kind and supportive?? Ugh my heart

    Summary

    Jackson Healy is not a family man, nor is he a relationship man. He learned that one the hard way after the divorce.

    So, can someone tell him why he’s standing at the cash register of a dollar store, watching Holland March fiddle with his wallet with a giant poster board under his armpit, while a pile of markers of all colors and stationery sits on the conveyor belt? Though he supposes that’s another one of life’s great mysteries, and something he’ll wake up every morning asking himself.

    Healy accidentally says something homophobic, to which March’s reaction is first anger and the second to plant one on him. And it works!!! I love them so much. Perfect yearning <3

    Summary

    “Whoa, wait, back up.” Holland instantly sat up in his seat, grabbing hold of the arm so he could twist round to face Holly. “Klein? As in Janet Klein? Did you fucking punch Janet?!”

    “Mr. March!” Principal Harrison admonished, “Language!”

    Holland gave him an apologetic wince before he looked back at Holly.

    “Holly,” he said, gentler, “Look at me.” He waited until Holly complied with his request. “Honey, did you punch Janet in the face?”

    ——OR——

    Janet runs her mouth, and Holly finds that sometimes, a little violence is very helpful, actually.

    Sometimes the bigotry of this era is handwaived for fics but this handles it so well!!!! I also appreciate that this story highlights that Janet isn’t fully responsible for her own hatred because children learn it from their caretakers. So well done. I LOVE THIS <3

    Summary

    Between processing the unhealed grief of losing his wife, trying to keep from drinking himself into a coma, and struggling with his freshly grown feelings for his business partner, accepting a new case is probably not the smartest thing March has ever done.

    LOVE THIS STORY. The handling of March’s alcoholism is done very bluntly and compassionately. It doesn’t shy away from how ugly that can get. The dynamic between March and Healy is so fraught but so earnest, and the sex is DELICIOUS. Fantastic fic <3 UGHHH
