Summary
Ray Garraty inherited his dad's bookshop before he passed. Now, it's only him and a few friends keeping their cozy corner of the city together.
Peter McVries is in the position he was always told he'd inherit: the head of his father's book business, bringing big book department stores to everyone, but hurting the small family businesses like Ray's The Shop Around the Corner.
Ray and Pete hate each other. Users shopboy and NJ152, however, can't stop thinking about each other.
AKA Ray and Pete in the movie You've Got Mail (1998)!! (or for those unfamiliar, small bookshop owner Ray, corporate bookshop owner Pete, and they meet on the Internet!)

Summary
Pete barely manages to get by as a hustler in Portland, Oregon, or really, wherever he takes himself. Some days, he wakes up somewhere he only vaguely can recall he didn't go to sleep at. He deals with it with drugs, the old rich men on dark avenues, and with Ray.
Ray finds himself in largely the same circumstances. Hailing from disinterested parents, more focused on their own social-climb than their son, Ray took to the streets. Call it rich boy rebellion or whatever you want--at night he's either beside Pete under a streetlight, or picking him off the ground.
Pete wants to find his family. He brings Ray with him. They go to Idaho. Whether they admit it or not, they're both the only thing propping each other up as they each make their own journeys of discovery.

Summary
Takes place after the long walk in our fav AU where Pete wishes for Ray to live.
While Ray and Pete were on top of each other during The Long Walk… what happens after without any cameras, audience, or pressure?
Or: slow burn! Ray and Pete as they figure out living together, recovery, and trauma after the long walk. At first, they are both unexpectedly awkward around each other outside of the walk, but after living together for some time, both men realize what they had on the walk wasn’t just forced proximity or circumstances, but a bond that goes beyond just being friends

Summary
In the fifties, somewhere south of nowhere,
a vampire wakes up in a stranger's fields, half-dead and wholly lost,
a cowboy takes him in.
