[honeyedlashton]

It’s the same energy as the “I’m just the dirty old drummer” bit

[confusionmeisss]

guys guys guys. i’m fine. i’m fine. if u were wondering, i’m fine. i’m perfectly okay, alright? there’s no need to worry about me bc im fine.

(i’m not fine. im in tears actually)

[plushyluke]

sweetest thing i’ve ever seen

[edge-oftheworld]

my theory for calum calling every vaguely tartan skirt a kilt is that’s what his parents told him when he had to wear Mali’s hand me downs being like ‘you’re scottish, be proud’ but really you don’t always have the extra cash to buy shorts for a growing boy when there are perfectly good skirts right there

[tricoufamily]

just so we're clear about 2014 luna being a one direction girlie but not a 5sos girlie, let the record show that she was briefly into 5sos and indie king hugo made fun of them so much every time she played it that she straight up stopped listening to them. he doesn't make fun of one direction because he has a secret crush on harry. thanks

Dad!Ashton Masterlist

A Dad For Christmas (ao3) - sourscarlets Luke/Ashton, Michael/Calum T, 17k

Summary: Since the age of three all Ashton's daughter has wanted for Christmas was another father so her dad could be happy. Her Christmas wish comes in the form of a toy store owner that might just be what they were looking for.

Come On Skinny Love, Just Last The Year (ao3) - senioritastyles Calum/Ashton G, 4k

Summary: "Daddy!" Evan calls, eyes wide as he looks just past Ashton.

Ashton barely has time to turn around before his cart crashes into someone else's, his distracted walking leading him right into the collision. He looks up to apologize as Evan quietly giggles next to him, somewhat hiding behind Ashton's legs, and Ashton is met with warm dark brown eyes and golden skin and a smiling stranger who doesn't seem even remotely miffed at Ashton. The stranger is beautiful really, it's the only way Ashton can think to describe him as he fumbles trying to find his voice.

Or: Ashton is a single dad and he meets Calum by chance.

Daisy (ao3) - boomerluke Luke/Ashton M, 121k

Summary: The last thing Luke expects when he wakes up hungover in the bed of his latest one-night stand is to come face to face with a freaking kid. But there she is all wild curls, thumb-sucking, and nonstop questions. Luke can't get out of there fast enough.

Ashton isn't the type to have one-night stands. He's a parent, after all. It was a mistake, and it won't happen again. At least that's what he tells himself when he comes back from his shower to find the naked college kid still in his bed, arguing with Daisy.

They couldn't be more opposites. At 25, Ashton has the responsibilities of two parents, raising his daughter and trying to pretend like he has everything figured out. At 21, Luke is a self-proclaimed Grindr god who doesn't care about anyone or anything but himself. So why is the universe (with the help of Michael and Crystal) so hell-bent on seeing them together?

Drum Drum - @daydadahlias (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) T, 3k

Summary: Debbie, Arlette, and Lisa watch drumming videos of their friend, Ashton, from Craft Club.

Hot for Teacher (ao3) - FayeHunter Michael/Luke T, 1k

i promise i'll keep you safe (ao3) - orphan_account implied Calum/Ashton N/R, 681

Summary: “Promise?” The young girl asked, raising her head of his chest to look at him in the eyes to make sure he was telling the truth. He nodded and kissed her forehead. “I promise, Kiddo. As long as I’m around, you will always be safe.”

OR

where calum and ashton have adopted an anxious and emotionally broken five year old girl, and one night, she gets scared by a storm and crawls into ash and cal's bed, where ash comforts her and calum sleeps like a baby beside them.

Lily (ao3) - im_just_a_sucker_for_bromance Michael/Luke E, 49k

Summary: Luke and Michael, they used to be boyfriends, lovers and each other’s world. Michael did not know whether those things really existed but he used to think Luke was his soulmate and that they completed each other; that was until Luke left without saying anything. After many years, Luke had decided to come back home but he did not come alone; he brought along a cute little girl, named Lily. When he suddenly came across Michael, the feelings that he had forgotten started to come back. Will he be able to ignore them? Or let his heart decide for him? Although many years passed, Michael had never really been able to be with anyone else because his heart has always beat for Luke. Meeting Luke again was like a second chance to save what had been lost; he wanted to get close to Luke. Will Luke allow him into his world again? Or was it just him and Lily?

never be (ao3) - radiance OT4 G, 4k

Summary: luke, calum, michael and ashton all work on the hemmings' farm during the summer.

Smudges of Love (ao3) - larryologymajor G, 2k

take my hand, now and forever (don't ever let go) - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) Calum/Ashton T, 9k

Summary: Ashton is a single parent who's not had good luck with dating ever since his son was brought into his life. Then, he meets Calum, who's the first guy who's ever shown interest in him and his son.

Trouble Is I Can't Find A Way (You're Part of Me) (ao3) - sunsetmagnolia Luke/Ashton, Michael/Calum T, 24k

Summary: Ashton didn’t know what to make of the thought that Luke was here. In his city. After all the effort he’d put into making sure they were a whole country away from each other for so many years.

Where the Heart Is (ao3) - LyricalPary (hoseoky) Luke/Ashton, side Michael/Calum E, 86k

Summary: By the time that Ashton Irwin is twenty-seven years old, he's already a widower and a father of three. After his third nanny quits on him, he comes to the conclusion that life in general doesn't seem to like him very much—that is, until his luck turns around when he discovers a particular nanny by the name of Luke H.

The question now is, can a twenty-two year old man with mile-long legs and a smile made of gold really be the super nanny that Ashton needs?

Perhaps so.

you're the thing that i can't quit (ao3) - lucasfletcher Calum/Ashton T, 2k

Summary: “So, you’ve got the hots for your son’s football coach?” Michael asks from the other side of the bar, leaning on his elbows and blowing his gum in Ashton’s face annoyingly. “Shh, Michael,” Ashton looks around to make sure no one’s close enough to hear them. “And who the fuck even says ‘got the hots’ anymore?” “So you do!” he pauses and a grin takes over his features. “Also fuck you I can say whatever I want.”

or, the super cute cashton one

[calumsash]

...But melt your headaches call it home

[daydadahlias]

Yeah, he called himself a "dad," but turning and treating the other guys like babies in your asks and tags just seems weird and wrong. They're all grown adults.

you forgot to put "april fools" at the end of this bestie

[wiiildflowerrr]

@twpkhossler: he’s so real for this

Take My Hand Uncasville, 8 July 2022

[5sosfanfictioncatalogue]

Parent Michael Masterlist

I Just Feel Complete When You're By My Side (ao3) - nationalnobody Michael/Luke G, 1k

Summary: Luke never thought that his son would ever ask him how he and Michael met. He really didn't. So when he did ask, needless to say, Luke was caught extremely off guard.

Kittens & Kids (ao3) - nationalnobody Michael/Luke, Calum/Ashton G, 1k

Summary: In which Michael and his son absolutely adore kittens and cats and Luke has to put up with their constant childishness, never mind the fact that he might like felines just as much as they do.

Like We Were Schoolkids (ao3) - punchinginadream Michael/Luke NR, 2k

Summary: It was hard to say what exactly led Michael and Luke to each other. If you asked Luke, he would say it was fate. But if you asked Michael, he’d simply say it was because his son doesn’t know how to tie his shoes.

Nicknames (ao3) - taetrtot Michael/Ashton E, 6k

Summary: “Why don’t you have that many pictures of mom?”

“Because she hated taking pictures. He didn’t.”

Or Michael looks through his deceased wife’s’ things, suddenly finding an old forgotten scrapbook.

Say A Prayer For The Broken Bones (ao3) - lilacpages Michael/Ashton, Michael/Calum T, 16k

Summary: There were absolutely no reminders of the man he once loved in his house at all anymore, except for the locket and and a few pictures. They had been stashed into a box and shoved into the very back of his bedroom closet, never to see the light of day again.

That was why no one was allowed to touch the box.

Because it held the only remaining evidence of Michael’s dead husband.

And because Michael hadn’t been able to acknowledge any of it for the past six years.

Second Go (ao3) - dafeedil Michael/Calum M, 18k

Summary: Michael's still devastatingly beautiful, is the thing that sucks the most. His eyes still glisten when the sunset reflects against them, and the way his porcelain skin looks coupled with the ocean visible through the passenger side window makes Calum want to run his fingers over the boy all over again. Michael's touch isn't something he ever thought he'd want to feel again, but in this moment, Calum can't think of anything he's ever yearned harder for.

Or, Calum goes back to his hometown with the intent to attend a high school reunion, but what he gets instead is a second chance at love.

Tea Time (ao3) - onlypanda Michael/Luke T, 1k

Summary: In which Michael's daughter has a god-like football coach.

We Got A Good Thing (ao3) - dafeedil Michael/Calum G, 4k

Summary: And just like that, Calum gets it.

God, of course. Why else would their daughter have come all the way down to their room at a quarter past ten, looking like she’s been trying to work up the courage to do so for hours?

“Holy shit.” Calum grins, practically vibrating with excitement. “Fuck, Mike, she’s going on a date.”

Or, Bella has her first date. It's a bigger deal for Michael than even Michael was anticipating for it to be.

welcome to the family (ao3) - orphan_account Michael/Luke N/R, 1k

Summary: The one where Luke gives birth to a new family member, and Michael is determined to be the best dad ever.

What I like about you (ao3) - Fallinstar (orphan_account) Michael/Luke E, 1k

Summary: Michael always take cares of others, and sometimes he forgets to take care of himself.

So Luke does it for him.

You Know We Got It Right (ao3) - HecticHemmings Michael/Luke G, 2k

Summary: Michael didn't realize that when he told his daughter that they would find another pretty thing once they got to their gate, that it was going to be a boy.

Or, single dad!Mikey meets aspiring musician!Luke on a plane back to Sydney and they bond over a mutual love for Michael's daughter.

your string of lights is still bright to me (ao3) - merlypops Michael/Calum, Bryana/Ashton, Luke/OMC E, 81k

Summary: 'Michael looked at himself sometimes, when he was putting six year old Lily to bed or giving her four year old sister Georgie a bath with his shirt sleeves rolled up and the faint silvery scars on display, and although he’d never planned for his life to be this way, he thought it could be a lot worse probably, even if it wasn’t what he’d expected back when he was a teenager with dirty hair and death in his heart.'

Michael is struggling to be the father his daughters need. Until he meets Calum again.
