    Summary

    He wanted to go home — and not home to a cold, empty house. He wanted to be taken home to somewhere warm and messy and alive. He needed to find Henry.

    ***

Between secret outings to gay bars, an inexplicable fascination with a drag queen, and Henry Oak-Garcia, Darryl is forced to confront desires he thought he’d stamped out a long time ago.

    Summary

    Nick Foster is living the high-octane life of a rockstar, touring the country with his band, slowly cracking under the pressure that fame brings.
    Lark Oak couldn’t give less of a shit about what his former friend is doing. He’s got his own goals, his own problems, his own demons to deal with. He just wants to move forward, without looking back.

    He isn't that lucky.

    Summary

    He recognized what they were doing immediately; they’d taken to huddling for warmth in the Omega Daddies lair and then later on the road with Walter, not for warmth so much as for comfort. They never talked about it when they got home. 

    “We don’t have to,” Nick started. His face was hot with tears, with embarrassment, with shame for how badly he needed this. 

    “We don’t have to,” TJ agreed. He didn’t argue the point, just stretched out on his back beside the twins, arms over his head. 

    “It’s alright, dude,” Grant said softly, hand still extended. “C’mon.”

    The man’s eyes widened, then he nodded, “Sure thing, kid. Story or song?”

    “How about passage?”

    The man narrowed his eyes, “Passage?”

    Lark nodded, “Yeah, I’ll give you the rest of the apples I have and you bring me along for a day each apple?”

    Summary

    “I don’t think he’ll ever forgive himself,” a deep sadness aged Sparrows eyes, “but this guilt is eating him alive, and I’m worried that one day there won’t be anything left.”
    The pair stood in heavy silence. They were united in their love for a man who wouldn’t allow himself to be loved.

     

    Lark's going to kill the Doodler and Nick's going to help.

    Summary

    It takes Henry a while to wake up. Ron tried to shake him awake when Henry’s dad first left, but whatever magic he used to knock Henry out must have been too strong. The bed Henry's on looks comfortable enough, at least. And the ground next to it isn't cold, so Ron doesn't mind sitting here to wait.

    Henry's not doing great, lads.

    Summary

    It had been 25 years since the initial day in September. They’d all grown up already.

    Sparrow had gotten married to a successful woman named Rebecca Swallows and they had two kids together, Hero and Normal. Grant got married to a man named Marco Li and adopted a baby boy they named Lincoln. Nicky had been married to their mutual friend Cassandra Swift for a few years and they had a kid named Taylor, they ended up getting divorced but on good terms. Lark was still attached to Sparrow’s hip but he had a good job at a bar downtown and was helping Rebecca and Sparrow raise their kids. Terry Jr. had married a wonderful woman named Veronica Marlowe and became the step-dad to a kid named Scary,

    things were looking up! The five of them were no longer rotting away from memories of those three dreadful years away from society and their families. Nothing was ever simple, but it was better than before and thats what counts.

    Or that's what they think.

    Summary

    One would think life would get easier for a rock-n-roll demon after the entire planar system was saved and the FBI got disbanded. But Nick had found out he preferred his old, lone-wolf lifestyle over the minefield that was moving forward and growing into a so-called ‘better person’. Healing from the past and all that bullshit was exhausting.

    ~

    Nick moves on. Sort of. Mostly.

    Summary

    Nick bit on the inside of his cheek before he unsealed his lips. “I loved you.”

    For the first time, he was glad he’d never said it out loud before. Because if he had admitted it back in the day, when those inexplicable feelings were at an all-time high, he would have said it softly and genuinely, with stars in his eyes. Now he could say it with a blazing fury that burned hotter than the sun. A renouncement. The cruelest euphemism for I hate you.

    Lark had the decency to look uncomfortable. He didn’t move his gaze from Nick’s injury. Just when Nick thought Lark wasn’t going to reply, he mumbled: “I know.”

    ~

    A reunion, of sorts.

    Summary

    The podcast Dungeons and Daddies, a roleplay podcast that uses the Dungeons & Dragons system to explore themes of fatherhood and generational trauma, includes a complex story arc in which one of the main characters, Glenn Close, is imprisoned and stripped of his title of father. I examine this arc using abolitionist scholarship, arguing that the trappings of the fantasy universe of Faerûn (and the inventions of the players) create a fictional scenario that tellingly represents the extent of carceral power in the “real world.” However, a queer reading of both this arc and Glenn Close’s approach to life and fatherhood reveals the potential of queer defiance to break free of carceral bonds and reimagine life and modes of relation.

    Summary

    "Darryl," he said. "My friend. I – he – I know I wouldn't have held myself together if not for him. I don't know if any of us could have." He'd been put off by Darryl's energy from the start, his determination to take charge, bring the situation under control, carry them all on his back if he had to – and yet, could Henry ever have carried himself through that, let alone anyone else? "I'm sure you could see it already, even just today. He's one of the strongest people I’ve ever met; he got us all through this and he still had room to really care about us. He’s the best dad” – He nearly choked up at those words, but this potential for joy didn’t deserve to be tainted with guilt. “I know I never cared much for him before, but I fell in love with him out there, Mercedes.”

    "I can see it," she said, and kissed the corner of his mouth. "You're radiant with it. I haven't seen you in new love in years."

    Upon their return from the Forgotten Realms, Henry and Darryl each have a lot of things to sort out about their relationships with their wives, themselves - and each other.
