Summary
Assigned by Joyride Magazine to cover the grand opening of a grotesque Las Vegas casino, Frank Iero finds himself groveling toward Nevada in the midst of a mid-life burnout with a ten-thousand word copy due on deadline. He has a rental car, a twelve pack of beer, and a bad attitude.
And then he meets a hitchhiker on the side of the two-lane desert highway. A tour-de-force, an artist-turned-drifter, the total fucking enigma that is Gerard Way piles into his Mercedes and off they go. Of course Frank's willing to give them a ride. Of course they're breezing into Vegas with the very same goal: To Look At Art.
Will they ever get to the galleries and card tables, slot machines and stage shows?
Unlikely. They can't even figure out to share a bed.

Summary
All Frank ever wanted in life was to find a hot Dom to love and cherish him and maybe pay all of his bills while they are at it. But things just never seem to work out in Frank's favour, and not even a cute comic book writer and a hot lead guitarist can change that, can they?

Summary
A beat thuds from the stereo, so heavy it rattles the coins in the well of the passenger door. The crease deepens in Vi’s cheek until the smile breaks through, and when they’re back on the highway with the wind thundering through the open windows, sun on her skin and her hair cutting across her vision so that Vi comes to her in flashes of white teeth and black glasses, in arms shifting to the sixth gear, her voice full and loose as she sings, Caitlyn stops herself from closing her eyes around the moment because she can already see herself years from now running her thumb over this one like a worn photo from a wallet and she doesn’t want to be there yet, in the future where all of this is behind her — she wants to be here, now and in it, in the possibility that it could go on forever. Like asphalt, like sun.
*
Oklahoma, 1996. Vi's a storm chaser, and Caitlyn's just along for the ride.

Summary
"There’s a horse, tied by his halter to the rails while a farrier works on his shoes, and Ellie watches him as she scrubs. He tosses his big head whenever the woman beside him moves too quickly, straining against the tether. Its shocking that it doesn’t break under the raw power of his movement, but the bonds stay strong, and no one is hurt.
And it's like something clicks into place."
Or:
Almost five years later, Abby and Lev end up back in Jackson, as the world begins to close in more and more. Their arrival comes as a shock, and not without opposition.

****UPDATED VERSION RELEASING 07/08/25****
"Dina brought the button-up close to her face, slowly closed her eyes, and deeply breathed in the lingering scent.
It smelled like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all shared in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she had watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story, about whether or not love can ever find it's way back home through hurt and loss.
Complete.

Summary
“You know…” says the woman lightly, swirling her drink, “usually when someone buys you a drink, the typical response is ‘thank you.’” She keeps her eyes off of Ellie, a half-smile brewing on perfect lips. A tease. Bait.
“Oh,” Ellie says intelligently, before clearing their throat, “Right, uh. Th-Thank you.” And then, “S-Sorry.”
“I’ll forgive you, but just this once.” The woman turns to them then, smiling fully and brightly. Ellie smiles back, practically against their own will. “I saw you from across the bar. You looked like you could use some company.”
“Am I that obvious?” Ellie asks sheepishly.
“Only a little,” the woman says with a little shrug and wrinkle in her nose that suggests to Ellie that’s not quite true.
--
After a long and exhausting work week, Ellie gets dragged to the dyke bar by Cat, and goes home with a girl that buys her drink.
(or, Ellie and Dina (attempt to) have a one-night stand.)

“I’m always amazed at how you’re not kidnapped or dead in a ditch. Your luck is almost annoying.”
“What can I say?” Vi grinned with that casual leaning shrug. “God is a woman, and She thinks I’m hot.”
Vi and Cait are coworkers on the second season of their hit show. Their characters onscreen have great chemistry and are popular with fans, but the actors themselves? Barely get along.
Until they have to.

Summary
After their last and only remaining ranch hand retired, Caitlyn was obligated to pick up some of the duties until they found someone. Since they stopped being a boarding facility, Ranch Kiramman was pretty much a one person operation for the daily maintenance and care of the animals.
So now here she was; sitting in her office caked in dust and sweat, looking at the only resume she’s gotten in the last two weeks, while her bones were pleading for a hot bath and a nice dinner.
She’ll have to do, she thought.
_
In a last attempt to save her mother's beloved horse ranch, Caitlyn wants to turn the boarding facility into a sanctuary for old horses. However, her last employee retired and her only option is an ex-con from the Undercity.

Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
