Fics like I could be the engine and you could be the wheel

aka "don't worry, they f*** in the end." Set in 2016 & 2017, Nicola is thriving & Malcolm is not. A story of awkward histories, awkward conversations, & two idiots who, in spite of everything, manage to get a second chance. 10% Glenn content by volume, please heed the author's notes for warnings & potential triggers, apologies in advance to Ollie fans—I love him but this fic sort of doesn't. No apologies to Olbermann. Played with the ages of Nicola's kids because I wanted them out of the house. Title from Brandi Carlile's Hard Way Home. Chapters 1-4, 9 & 10 are Malcolm's POV, all others are Nicola's.
