    Summary

    “Okay. If you don't like your wish and you don't like mine, if you had a do-over, what would you ask for?” Ray asks, unimpressed, like this is a dare that he doesn't expect Pete to be able to complete.

    Pete had spent a lot of time thinking about this after the Walk. It’s near impossible not to, really; you’re given the hardest choice you’ll ever make after the most horrific few days of your life, and you have forever to stew in the consequences of it. Pete has been stewing in it, indeed. “Do you really think you can wish for anything?” he asks. “It shouldn’t have been possible to get that kid an elephant so soon, but—”

    “You want a magical wish, then? Like a fucking genie? It’s all hypothetical anyway. Go for it.”

    Their feet move in tandem, like soldiers. The horrible ache in Pete’s stomach has gone away. This is the only time it ever goes away: here, in a dream, with Ray. “Well, I’d ask if I could just go on walking with you forever.”

    ---

    If Pete McVries had another chance, he'd choose a different wish. Post-Canon Garraty/McVries Fix-It.

    Summary

    Ray had sworn he'd been a dead man. His ticket had gotten punched. Three warnings to forty-seven, and he was more than sure that he'd die. He was ready to give it all up for Pete. He trusted him with his idea in taking out the Major. And when Pete was ready to give his own life up to make sure Ray's idea happened, he knew he had to do the same.

    He falls unconscious due to his gun shot wounds, believing that he has succumbed to his injuries. Despite that, Ray finds himself waking in an unfamiliar room and a hazy memory of what had happened once the Walk had ended. The only thing he's sure of? He loves Pete - that wouldn't change. But there was no reason he should be alive, not if Pete was the winner.

    Not until he finds out that Pete's one wish was his life.

    Summary

    Garraty clears his throat, then asks, “What about you, Pete? You got a lady?”

    McVries holds Garraty’s gaze for a moment, intensely, then says, “No, Ray. No, I don’t.”

    Every molecule of Raymond Garraty slows to a snail’s pace. McVries peers at him, dark eyes half-lidded, smiling softly. Garraty feels a little like he’s fallen behind in a race he didn’t know he was running.

    They keep looking at each other, silently, until McVries’s lips quirk up like Garraty’s said something funny, and he lifts his bottle to his lips. 

    “What is it?” Garraty asks. “What’s so funny?”

    McVries shakes his head, still wearing that knowing smile. “Nothing, Ray. Not a thing.”

    Ray Garraty and Peter McVries fuck around, get together, and fall in love. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    "I like it," Taehyung whispers, his voice hushed. He's doe eyed and earnest, leaning over the table once again as nervous fingers wrap around a glass of something that leaves him feeling braver than he is.

    "I like," Taehyung continues, honest and genuine, "the way you sound when you talk about the things you like. It makes me feel like I could grow to like them too."

    Summary

    It's a running gag of theirs―fake proposing in random places just to see what free gifts they'll get. This is what they do. This is their thing. The feelings behind it are not real. At least, they're not supposed to be.
