Summary
Shane McMahon keeps being drawn back to visiting the NXT Performance Center by one of the wrestlers who catches his eye: a young AJ Styles.
This is a prequel to Room 117, trying to flesh out how AJ and Shane got into that room together. I looked into how the NXT Performance Center works, a little, but forgive me for what I’ve got wrong.
Twink AJ is brought to you mainly by this vid of him with Vince Russo in early TNA, and
this one of him at CWF.Series

Summary
“What’s your name then, Bartender?”
“Who’s asking?”
Aaron smiles. “Well, me, I guess, the bloke you keep pouring pints for?”
“Robert,” he provides.
“Robert,” Aaron enunciates, liking the sound of the name on his tongue. “Tell me, since you’re a bartender and all, what is the meaning of life?”
“You adhering to stereotypes now?” Robert questions with a sly look in his eye. “You know bartenders aren’t qualified to be actual therapists?”
___
Or: Aaron meets Robert one day behind the bar at The Lonely Badger, and the connection between them is practically instant. For a man who prefers to let people go rather than let them in, it's utterly terrifying, but still, he can't stop pursuing him. When he finds out who Robert really is, and that their connection goes even deeper than they ever thought possible, what started as a drink across a bar forces them to break free from the ghosts they've both kept hidden away.

Summary
Working at the garage is both worse and better than Aaron had expected. He likes working on cars, and starts to get the hang of it pretty quickly. Ryan's alright too, he’s a laugh and doesn't make fun of Aaron when he doesn't know something.
Robert, on the other hand, is a bastard.
