Title: Terms of Endearment (1/2)
Author: mardahin
Beta: ladyholder (Drive-By Variety)
Series: Semantics
Counterpoint: What’s in a Name?
Fandom: Were the World Mine (It’s a film, so consider the whole thing fair game when it comes to spoilers).
Pairing: Jonathon/Timothy (Primary), Cole/Cooper (Secondary)
Rating: PG-13
Author's Note: Third in the fic series that emerged after I spent way too long driving around the Midwest after watching the film “Were the World Mine”. This installment is roughly 9,000 words long, and many apologies for taking so long. I promised hllangel that I’d have something up before she starts classes on Monday, so here it is.
Author’s Note (II): Unlike Northwestern, Boston College's Rugby website sucks at providing useful information - we’re talking levels approaching dead rat through a straw. As a result, I took some liberties. If you attend/attended BC and I've mucked things up when it comes to your ruggers, I do apologize. Also, I have it on good authority that the phrase “Our drinking team has a rugby problem” is one that is bandied about in the real world, and not just a bad joke.

Summary: ( Freshman Year = Highly Overrated. )

ETA: Wow. That’s a lot of header.

Title: What's in a Name?
Author: mardahin
Beta: hllangel
Series: Semantics
Counterpoint: Terms of Endearment
Sequel to: Not Boyfriends
Fandom: Were the World Mine (It's a film. Thus, All Canon = Fair Game)
Rating: PG-13 (like the film)
Pairings: Cooper/Cole (Primary), Timothy/Jonathon (Secondary)
Author's Note: So, originally I was just going to write one fic in this “fandom” (I use the term loosely). And then it was far, far larger than I'd intended, and I hadn't included half the scenes I was thinking about. So apparently it's going to be more like a series. This piece clocks in around 3300 words.
Author's Note #2: This is the first half of a fic duet, each piece of which can be read independently but which is designed to function best as a completed pair. The second fic, “Terms of Endearment,” should be up within the week.

Summary: ( 'Wait, what exactly *did* you tell them about me?' 'Oh, you know, the usual. Friend from high school, on the rugby team, boyfriend.' )

Title: Not Boyfriends
Author: mardahin
Beta(e): hllangel, oparu
Fandom: Were the World Mine (It's a film. Thus, All Canon = Fair Game)
Rating: PG-13 (like the film)
Pairings: Cooper/Cole (Primary), Timothy/Jonathon (Secondary)
Author's Note: Written at the request of dancinbutterfly, who brought the plight (read: loose end) of Cooper & Cole to my attention and then begged very prettily for fic to address said plight. Many thanks to both of my betae, without whom this probably would not have actually exited my skull and landed on the electronic page. There are minor allusions to the massive future which I mapped out for Timothy & Jonathon in the space between going to bed and falling asleep over the last few weeks, but I have no idea if that'll turn into fic as well or not. This clocks in at around 4500 words.
Author's Note #2: ( Basic Plot Info for WtWM if you just want to read the fic. Spoilers, obviously )

Summary: ( The first thing to understand about Cole Bochner and Cooper Stevens is that they were not, are not, and never will be boyfriends. )
