    Summary

    Clint blinks at his phone in surprise. He has a text from… Bucky?

    Opening the phone, he realizes he has a selfie from Bucky.

    Why does he have a selfie from Bucky?

    Which isn’t to say it isn’t a very good selfie - it is. It’s a very, very good selfie. It’s all bedroom eyes and carefully mussed hair and bare skin and what appear to be expensive sheets, and that same look Bucky gives him when Clint slurps his coffee straight out of the pot like the uncivilized shithead that he is.

    The look has never been sexy before now.

    But softened by dim light and a lack of clothes and fucking bedsheets, well. It’s sexy now.

    Clint has no idea why it’s been sent to him but-

    Wait.

    Just above the selfie from Bucky is a selfie to Bucky. Of Clint. The same selfie he’d sent Natasha-

    Oh.

    The same selfie he hadn’t sent Natasha because he’s sent it to Bucky instead for some inexplicable reason.

    Summary

    His mom told him it would be better. The city was small, but lively. The school had great reviews. And there was a church with a kind pastor who was already willing to help them get settled in. Naim wasn't sure if he believed her.

    That was until he met Ryan Whelan. A free spirited boy whose laughter made the room light up. Maybe this town wasn't so bad after all.

    Beautiful movie - I left the theater wanting more though, so I decided to write this :3 It's basically just gonna be a full rewrite, adding onto the beginning and ending more.

    Summary

    Mitski's song "Cats' explores the relationship of bonded pairs, two cats who rely so heavily on each other for comfort and security that shelters refuse to separate them for their own welfare. Oftentimes, this severe codependence comes from a shared trauma. Ryan and Naim are these bonded cats.

    OR

    After barely surviving the entity that stalks them, Ryan and Naim make their next steps as they travel to Sydney for safety: finally, enjoying each other's presence in the meantime.

    Summary

    “So, what now? We keep catching coaches from shithole to shithole?”

    A mosquito pricks Ryan’s neck and he smacks it away. He thinks about the weight of Naim’s head on his shoulder on the bus, the tinny melodies emitted by cheap earphones filling the space between them. Remembers how settled he’d felt, how uncertain yet still oddly calm, having only the vaguest idea where he was going but being sure about who he was going with. He looks at Naim. “Maybe, yeah.”

    /

    Ryan and Naim keep going.
