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.

Summary
“Make some room, big guy,” Arthur grumbles as he shuffles over to stand at the edge of the bed, staring down at Charles with faux annoyance.
Charles just shakes his head.
“What, do you want me on top of you?” Arthur laughs, hefting one knee up onto the bed and prodding at Charles’s thigh, trying to make space for himself.
Charles looks at him for a moment, then reaches up, arms open wide, in an unmistakable gesture that says, yes.

Summary
“Herr Strauss,” Arthur greets, teeth gritted, plastering a fake smile onto his face. “How goes your money lendin’ business?”
“Ah, Herr Morgan.” Strauss turns on the rock, beady eyes swivelling around to peer up at him behind his spectacles. “It’s going swimmingly. As I like to say, Herr Morgan, there exists not a debtor who is unable to pay, only a debtor who is unwilling to pay. A little prod is all that is needed!”
Arthur sighs. “Okay,” he says, ready to confront the inevitable. “Well, do you need me to… prod anyone for you?”
“Ah! Not right now, Herr Morgan, not right now,” Strauss says. Arthur looks at him, confused. “As I said, swimmingly! I gave Herr Smith a list of debtors a few days back and he’s managed to get the money from all of them. Efficient work, that man does, though that leaves none for you, I’m afraid.”
── ⋅⋅⋅ ──
In which Arthur dies, lives, and almost dies again at the shock of it. And he swears that this time, in his future, he will not make the mistakes of his past.
And little does he know, he's not in this alone.

Fantastic series, would absolutely recommend a full read-through. That being said, Bottom!Charles is my kryptonite and this fic is the infamous Lex Luthor/Clone!Superman red kryptonite scene. It's pinned me down, beat the shit out of me, and told me to call it daddy. The emotional vulnerability, the humor, the back and forth, the LOVE. Just. Fuck me, what a good read.

“Hi,” Ed says from the doorway.
“How did you find me?” Izzy stares at him, takes him in like it hasn’t been only two weeks- then remembers himself and turns back around to cutting up the fish.
"You don't even like tuna," Blackbeard says, infuriatingly. Izzy longs to get his fingernails into his eyeballs for being right.
