Summary
"It's not about Käärijä", Jere said quietly. "But Jere. That guy's so fucking stupid."
"I rather like him though."
Amsterdam, April 2024.
The paths of Käärijä and Joker Out cross again when they're booked to perform at a Eurovision preparty. Bojan is chill about meeting a particular contractual obligation until he's not. He struggles to decide which part of his body he's letting lead him, but it certainly isn't his brain. Tensions run high, yet release might just create more tension. Time is running out before Bojan turns into a pumpkin.
Sorry, this one was hard to tag especially when it came to the nature of the relationship - it's not developing, established, unrequited, FWB or any other common option.
"The demon was very much winning, as demons are always on Bojan's side."

Summary
"What was your famous Eurovision hit song about again?"
"Seems to be about years of meltdowns at Eurovision preparties."
After several years, they are back where they started, in Madrid. Joker Out is a mess because Bojan is a mess and Bojan being a mess might have something to do with Jere. The Finn is hopeful about his ability to sort out these issues, yet also ends up causing new ones. Many things have been tangled up over the years, but if they are solved, could the wild goose chase finally end?
"What's even the point of being blackout drunk if others will tell you all the horrible stuff you did?"
"Bojan, there is no 'point' to it", Nace said. "The 'point' of drinking isn't to forget stuff. That's called alcoholism. If you're blackout drunk, that's actual alcohol poisoning."

Summary
"Instead Bojan leaned on Jere and marveled at how the Finn's body just seemed to receive him fully in a way that no one else had ever been able to do and that even he hadn't fully fathomed before. He could just sit here and be a total mess and be loved, how weird was that."
After years of no contact because things were too complicated, Jere and Bojan find themselves under the same roof in Finland. So many things have changed completely, yet luckily others are just as they always were. Bojan is trying to figure out who he is and what he wants, but that just seems like an endless rabbithole of confusion.
"Who said that?" Bojan demanded to know.
"Does it matter when it's true? I'm trying to stop you from sabotaging your life."
"You already helped fuck it up."

Summary
"You can't live someone else's life, Bojan, Jere said softly. "You can only live your own. People will always find fault in us, no matter what we do or don't do. And it's not like you ever wrote straight songs."
"I was pretty good at convincing people I did."
"At what price, though?"
Everything is finally looking up, except for Bojan's career. Jere feels guilty about the way he contributed to Joker Out being in shambles. He has several ideas for fixing the damage, but Bojan remains convinced he ruins everything he touches.
It’s July 2027 and we have come to the end of this four-part fic (there is a Christmas special coming, but the "official" storyline ends here)! The last chapter contains some angst, but also a lot of friendship, tenderness and mush, and I dare to promise you will love the ending!
"Dear boos of all ages and genders,
They told me not to write this, but to babble in vapid press release language, and I said, fuck that. They said, don't tell the truth or no one will ever work with you again. I'm willing to take that risk."

Getting Lucky With an Extra Serving of Nuts (A Christmas Special) by Joymuffin

Summary
“Cognac was one of those alcoholic drinks that Bojan just couldn’t understand, but tonight he was going to let their disagreements fall to the side.”
Christmas 2027 is looming, finally their first Christmas together, but the big question is causing grief. Where are they going to celebrate it? In Finland or Slovenia? And what if the option they choose ends up sucking?
A holiday special set on the No Walk of Shame timeline, but can be read on its own, too. Fairly angsty for a Christmas story (not because something bad happens, but more like people tend to have Expectations for Christmas), yet it all gets better.
