    Summary

    When the Long Walk is interrupted by a wave of rebels who all charge the road with their vehicles, the seven remaining walkers are able to scramble their way to safety by stealing a van from one of the drivers that was gunned down. So begins a new type of long journey for all of them…

    —

    Or, the fic where Olson misses his wife, Baker tries to keep everyone from dying, Barkovitch tries to be a better person, Parker is keeping more secrets than he lets on, McVries and Garraty try to figure out what they are to each other, and Stebbins learns that there might actually be a worse form of torture than the Long Walk, and that’s being stuck on a 3000+ mile road trip in a cramped van with six of the most unhinged people in the country.

    Summary

    Article 1 of the Constitution of Soulmates: All human beings, regardless of their race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status, are born with a soulmate who understands their language, dialect or idiolect, even without any previous contact with it. This ability applies only to speech and doesn’t concern literature, films, songs, or other written and audio forms. 

     

    In a world where everyone has a person who understands them perfectly assigned by some divine power, Gerry Barkovitch doesn’t even understand herself. She will have to, though, if she wants to preserve her friendship and gain something more.

    Or a genderbent walkers au where no one dies, but Barkovitch is still a mess.

    Summary

    ╔═════ -ˋˏ *.·:·.♡.·:·.* ˎˊ- ═════╗

    Affect: Restricted range. Congruent with stated mood. Brightened notably when discussing sisters and future plans. Warmest affect observed when discussing Gary Barkovitch.
    Thought Content: No suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, or intent to harm self or others. No obsessional thinking noted. Delusional content present (see History of Present Illness and clinical notes throughout.)
    Perceptions: Patient denies auditory or visual hallucinations. No evidence of perceptual disturbance during interview. (Note: Patient describes "hearing" Barkovitch's voice, but upon exploration, this appears to be metaphorical/remembered rather than hallucinatory.This is more consistent with an internalized attachment figure than an auditory hallucination.)
    Cognition: Alert and oriented to person, place, and time. Memory appears intact for both recent and remote events. Attention and concentration adequate.
    Insight: Severely limited regarding the central presenting issue. Patient demonstrates adequate insight in all other domains.
    Judgment: Adequate in all areas except those pertaining to Gary Barkovitch.

    Collie set the beer down. "You know what my type is."

    Billie's heart began beating so fast she was scared it might burst through her chest entirely. "Do I?"

    "Don't play dumb. It doesn't suit you."

    "I'm not playing anything."

    "Yes you are." Collie leaned forward, elbows on the table. "You've been playing all night. With that guy. With me."

    "I don't know what you mean."

    "Billie." The way Collie said her name made her stomach flip. "Why did you do that?"

    "Do what?"

    "You know what."

    Billie looked away, at her hands, at the table, at anything that wasn't Collie's face. "He seemed nice."

    Summary

    When Gary Barkovitch invites two other Junior Hockey League players back to his room to smoke after the championship game, the night unfolds in a totally unexpected way. What's even more unexpected is the ripple effect that night has on the next eight years of his life as he navigates sex, love, and loss in the NHL.
