Summary
If they didn’t want him drunk at work, Marty reasoned, swirling the glass and watching the whiskey cling to the sides in that way that always put him in the mindset of maple syrup—of Saturday mornings when his father got out early for work and it was just him, his mom, pancakes on the stovetop and the sun turning the crummy kitchen linoleum gold—if they didn’t want him drunk at work, they shouldn’t have had him at a bar.
===
It's the early '90s. Marty is (mildly) undercover, investigating a case and pounding whiskey and panicking about the steady, settled, regular-type life he swears he wants. Rust is (deep) undercover and wondering if he remembers what it is to want. By chance, they meet.

Summary
Post Carcosa, Marty's thinking about undomesticated animals and fatherhood and hair dressers. He's got a mission and a shower chair and he thinks maybe Rust trusts him more than he should.
[read as a one shot / only technically a prequel to Names of endurance, Names of devotion]
Skull of a full-grown man's much bigger, got more surface area, more hair than a little girl's head does. He tries to eyeball it, guesses, smears sweet smelling goop around for a while before combing his fingers through. No tangles. He is proud. Then again, his fingers are big, meaty, might be missing knots, hands might be clumsy no matter how much care he puts into this. Good thing he bought one of them wide tooth things, just in case.
"Are you--that a comb?" Rust asks.
"Shut the fuck up," Marty says.
