    Summary

    Sami blinks, and it clicks. He steps forward to rest a hand upon Gunther’s shoulder, kneading it lightly with his thumb.

    “He doesn’t need to hate himself,” Sami whispers. “And neither do you.”

    Gunther exhales through his nose, brushing Sami away. “I don’t deserve the kindness. Other people do. Like Jey. Like…you.”

    Despite himself, Sami feels a smile spreading across his lips.

    “Goddamn,” he says, shaking his head. Gunther frowns.

    “What?”

    “You’re just like Jey,” Sami says, chuckling. “My God, that’s exactly what he would say. It’s amazing. Despite everything, deep down, you two are…exactly the same.”
     
    -

    After a few months rehabbing, Gunther returns to RAW - and now it's Jey who needs him. But when Gunther struggles to reach out, it's Sami who has to get through to them both.

    Summary

    “Well howdy Ellie, how can we help you?” Tommy drawls with a welcoming smirk.

    “I know it's a long shot, and you're busy–busy people but I wanted to ask if I could– I.” God she's bad at this.

    Fuck it.

    She strides over to the more engaged Miller with her file, “here these - these are my most recent times from the Eastern Massachusetts District Championships, and there's others. I placed in all my events in the Boston Winter Classic, and every YMCA championship in the last year.” she harbours a deep breath

    “I'm good, please, Just let me get in the pool and I’ll show you.”

    Ellie is an elite swimmer and Joel is her coach; who will do anything to help her get to nationals, and then probably anything she ever asks of him, because my man is father shaped in every universe.

    (TLOU elite swimming AU nobody but the voices in my brain asked for).

    Summary

    Does it make him lesser, that these advances don’t ignite hunger and flattery but revulsion? That the heat curling in his belly isn’t desire but disgust? Or does it make him greater, that he does not stoop, does not prowl, does not take, like a less scrupulous man might?

    But what does it matter—lesser, greater—when the result is the same? When he is still here, nursing a drink in the dim fugue of a bar too loud, too young, too dizzying with its perfume of cheap liquor and cheaper thrills. When he is still a man past his prime, not the wolf but in fact seated among them, and though he does not salivate, does not sink his teeth into the softness offered up to him, the very fact of his presence damns him all the same.

    Because what else could a man like him be doing here, if not waiting to be fed?

    And then there's you.

    OR

    Desire, when denied, does not disappear. A chance meeting with a stranger becomes an unscratched itch, and Higuruma is nothing if not a man who will torture himself about it.

    Summary

    The Whitaker Farm sits alone beneath an endless Nebraska sky, where time has stalled and God is always watching.

    Michael Robinavitch arrives unwanted and unwelcome, carrying grief and a defiance he knows better than to show. Sent away to be fixed, Michael instead learns how to endure - working the land by day, holding his grief close by night.

    Dennis Whitaker had spent his entire life learning how to disappear into the quiet. Tasked with bringing the sinner to salvation, he instead discovers that there is no true deliverance in a faith built on fear, and no righteousness in a life so suffocating.

    It is within the vastness and the silence of the Nebraska countryside that two lives begin to converge, baring witness to things no one was meant to see, and learning that some winds do not pass through without consequences.
