Summary
Ford had never been fond of tutoring. It wasn’t the subjects that got under his skin, but the incessant distraction of students fixating on his six fingers. Their fascination was more annoying than entertaining. Still, he needed the job to cover the rent for the apartment he shared with his roommate, Fiddleford, and he was determined to finish his multiple degrees. It was a necessary part of the journey.
Then, his next mentee turns out to be his own brother.
Who he hasn't seen.
In almost 3 years.

Summary
For as normal as Stan had hoped things would be over the next two weeks, he quickly realized he was wrong. Very wrong. It was almost like Ford had never met him before, like that awkward first time in the library where everything between them felt strained and distant. Ford was cold, snippy, and kept to himself. Sure, it was finals season, Stan and Fidds had practically resorted to pleading with Ford to eat—at least a bowl of cereal, for crying out loud—and Ford just kept scribbling equations on the damn windows like some kind of madman.
But what really stung was how Ford seemed dismissive whenever it came to anything involving Stan directly. Any time they were one-on-one, Ford brushed him off, gave half-answers, or flat-out ignored him. It was like he was trying to avoid Stan, and it didn’t help Stan’s current state of mind. Every night, he went to sleep only to have that incident in the bathroom replay in his head. It haunted him. Worse, sometimes those dreams took a frustratingly... vivid turn, forcing him to wake up and take care of…things.
Like today, for example.
