Fics like What ships are for

I really hated the Martin Ben gangster storyline of autumn 2019. I know Ben came back hardened and vengeful earlier that year, but the gangster stuff was all too much. So I have rewritten the story from October 2019 to March 2020. I have included some EE scenes and dialogues as I wanted to keep touching base with the EE storyline. I tried to keep Ben and Martin in character as much as I could, developed stories for Callum and Bobby, suggested Phil’s redemption arc, added some interest to other characters like Louise, Lola, Jay and Ruby, and, of course, focused on the greatest love story ever told – Ben and Callum. I wrote this during compassionate leave when my lovely mum passed away. It’s probably why it’s a bit light on angst and heavy on fluff. It’s also littered with little bits of her wisdom because I was thinking about her a lot. The title comes from one of her favourite sayings; you’ll come across it in the story.
