    Summary

    Aaron doesn't register the first symptom.
    Or he does, but he doesn’t think much of it, his mind foggy with pleasure, his forehead pressed against the wall, nails scraping the raw timber. There’s just the slightest itchiness in the back of his throat, surely caused by the cold winter air and strained shouts Aaron has been trying to swallow down unsuccessfully, his voice echoing in a freezing space of the barn.

    aka

    It's 2015. Katie is alive, Robert is getting married, and Aaron is quietly dying.

    Summary

    It’s over. It had taken a while, but it’s over. The police had found Mackenzie, and both he and Aaron are recovering in hospital. They’ve still got a long road left to go, but they’re alive, which is the most important thing. No one really knew where John had gone off to, but with the amount of police presence in the village and the surrounding areas in the days after the whole thing went down, everyone assumed he had done a runner and was probably somewhere on the continent by now.

    Typical, Robert thinks. John had always been a slimy one, just slippery enough to not get caught, so it doesn’t really surprise him that his brother had avoided police capture. But he comforts himself with the fact that he would never have to lay eyes on John ever again, and is perfectly fine with forgetting he’d ever existed to begin with. He already had a complicated relationship with one brother, he didn’t need another one.

     

    After the gorge debacle, Robert is ready to move on from everything related to his so-called brother and pull the tatters of his life back together. Unfortunately, things have never been that simple.

    Summary

    Aaron has only seen Robert wear overalls once before, a decade ago, and the sight of him was enough to have Aaron kickstarting their tumultuous affair all over again, falling back into a cycle that he’d never thought would end. 

    He’s ten years older now, more mature and settled and a master of self-restraint but fuck. 

    He wants Robert. 

    And nothing good ever comes from that.

    Summary

    "I tell you what." Robert breaks the silence of Aaron's thoughts. "If you don't find anyone off one of these websites, I'll go to the wedding with you."
     
    "And what do you get out of it?" Aaron defensively asks, not buying a word of it.

    "In return, you let me hide out here whenever I need an escape plan." There's that winning smile again, all teeth and plump red lips with just the right touch of genuine behind it. It sends a rush of warmth through Aaron's body, which had him fighting back a smile of his own as his lip started to twitch.

    "Deal."
