    Summary

    David reflects. Joe reacts. Somehow they make a life out of it.

    --
    This is really and truly a *VERY LONG* comfort piece. A very, very long comfort piece, maybe even a psychological profile of their relationship. There are so many (fantastically written) tragic stories on here involving these two, and I love reading those, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to make one that was devoid of any and all heartbreak.

    Summary

    “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to fucking bitch me out.”

    “Hullo, Paddy. You’re looking well.”

    Or perhaps he simply looks like the version of him Bill used to know – clean shaven and sun-blasted – and maybe, after all this time, there is a kind of comfort in that.

    --

    Or: after one of David's hiking trips ends in disaster, Paddy and Bill would be glad if they never crossed paths again, only to run into each other years later.
