    Summary

    Inside Matthews & Sons, Charles had to take a moment to orient himself. To the right, shelves of tools and the curled forms of tractor and lawnmower belts. To the left, household cleaning supplies and small necessities like pencils, thumbtacks, and cup hooks. Just next to the store’s center aisle was the register. It was situated atop a massive U-shaped counter with a glass display case full of dusty old pocket knives and knickknacks. Bird houses and weather vanes were hanging from the ceiling beams behind the counter. Some of them appeared to be handmade. The shelf nearest the register was filled with canned goods that had near-identical printed brown labels from some place called ‘Susan’s Kitchen’. A soft thumping noise drew Charles’ gaze back down, to where a dark gray dog with black spotting was lying on a buffalo-plaid printed bed. He had his brown eyes trained on Charles and his tail was smacking a steady rhythm against the floor.

    Modern/90s AU: The Matthews-Van der Linde family own and operate the feed store in Valentine, Montana.

    Summary

    Charles had been running from his soulmate for years. Arthur never wanted to believe in soulmates.

    They'd never tried to find each other, never communicated since the string between them appeared. That was, until one lonely, fateful night, Charles decided to tug on their shared string. On the other side, still healing from Mary and Eliza and his son, Arthur is reminded of a soulmate he'd long since forgotten.

    It's all up from there.

    ── ⋅⋅⋅ ──

    In short, two idiots play tug-of-war with their soulmate string, unwanted feelings develop, and somehow everything turned out just fine.

    Summary

    The heavy bass is making the oil-puddles shiver. Arthur leans against the wall, watching with a lazy eye as the puddles of filthy, iridescent water dance. Lines of neon jittering across their surface, pounding in time with the music, some garbage iridium synth track with too many drops that makes the whole alley vibrate, reverberating in his cyberware.

    It sure as shit ain't good music, but the club is eating it up. Arthur supposes he should just be glad that he's not inside. He leans back, fitting his cigarette to his lips. A slow drag in, and then out.

    Arthur holds his cigarette out - offering.

    Eyes flick his way, glowing gold in the dark. His companion tilts his head, a silent refusal.
