Summary
The stars above wink at them, a breeze cuts through the pasture, the world seems to have slowed down just for the two of them.
Josie sighs again.
"I'm gonna skip town before I ever marry anyone. Go somewhere no one knows my face, pretend to be a cowboy. Cowboys don't have to get married."
She feels more than hears Annabelle laughing softly at that.
"Gonna take me with you, right? Gonna put me on the back of your horse, ride off into the sunset with me?"
As soon as she speaks it, Josie knows that she wants nothing more.

Summary
"John." Alice's voice has taken on that iciness John has been hearing way too much of these past few months. "Don't get snippy with me. It's not my fault he had to grow up here."
John swallows the bitter taste creeping up the back of his throat.
She's right, of course. The only reason it took so long for them to move was John's own attachment to his hometown. Even if it is loud and crowded and way too expensive.
He's silent for a moment, at a loss for words.
Recently it seems he's forgotten how to talk to the woman he loves.
---
All things in canon point to John and Alice's marriage going anything but well. So I had to write a fic about it.

Summary
And so it has sat, untouched, in a small, nondescript shoe box atop his wardrobe for almost a decade now. Mostly forgotten beneath the tides of everyday life, but pulling at his conscious in those darkest and stormiest nights when his wife next to him had long fallen asleep.
Now the sight of it, with its embossed spine reading "Memories" in a swirly, delicate font and the frayed stitching along its edges, makes his hands tremble.
"What are ya lookin' at, Dad?"
"The past."
---
The day after the events of The Creak In The Attic, John and Junior reminisce about the past.
It's short and sweet and sad. I am giving this man so many issues.

Summary
“If-” he started lowly, “If you’re worried this will change things, that I’ll become like them, that I’d ever-” His voice broke, so he tried again, “That I’d ever-”
Kian shushed him. His eyes flicked up to Rand’s. “Hold still. I’m trying to make you look like someone who doesn’t kiss boys behind the bleachers.”---
After Kian got beaten up at school for wearing makeup, Rand goes looking for him. What happens next will shock you.
Or, I wanted to write gay people and accidentally made it deeply upsetting.

And from who do you think all my rage was learned? by SpaceDustMantis

Summary
Grian is still for a moment before she groans and turns to lie on her back. Joel stares at her with heaving breaths, face distorted in a furious grimace, and Grian stares back, pain and shock written across her features, but not surprise. Never surprise.
“One of those days then?” she bites out through gritted teeth.
Joel doesn’t grace her with an answer as he strides across the cramped space and over to her in two steps and digs the toe of his boot into one of the gaping wounds left behind by his bullets.
Grian screams. Joel’s rage roars and purrs with satisfaction.
“Is that-” Grian groans, “Is that really necessary?”
“No,” Joel says, and digs his shoe deeper.
---
Joel is angry. Grian is a prick. What else is new?
This is part of an incredibly self indulgent Hermitcraft/Mechanisms AU. Nonetheless this can be read as a standalone even without any background knowledge.
