    Summary

    Ser Hal, a paladin of the Green Knights in service of the Temple of the Lantern, finds himself on the road with Barry, a messenger from the Halls of Justice. Attraction comes quick, but so does misunderstandings. They encounter a mystery along the way, and try to solve it with the eventual help of lord Bruce and his guard ser Clark. The mystery leads them northward, where a conspiracy waits for them all.

    (note: This is HalBarry-centric. Bruce and Clark comes in by chapter 17.)

    Summary

    Back in 1989 Hal and Barry had a brief but unforgettable teenage romance, kept secret from most people and never meant to last. Years later, after several major events shake up their previously stable adult lives, they reconnect, hoping to rekindle their once strong friendship - and maybe the romance too.

    Summary

    Justin steels himself. He shakes his head. “Last words don’t mean anything. No more than anything else. I’ve said all there is to say.”

    “Well, I haven’t,” Richard says, and there’s a clatter as his gun hits the floor. Justin tries not to flinch. He fails. Richard grabs his face, and experience has taught Justin not to flinch from that. “I got one or two things left on my bucket list.”

    “That’s not how this works. Glory or nothing,” Justin says stiffly.

    Richard’s forehead hits his. It hurts a little. He brushes back Justin’s hair with gentle fingers. “We’re already dead.”

    (An AU where instead of going to Lisa's, Justin goes straight to the bluff.)

    Summary

    They had been kissing in secret for almost nine months. It’s 1992, of course they couldn’t be open about it. Especially not in high school. That’d just be like begging to be beaten up.
