    Summary

    “D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.

    “What?”

    “How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.

    “You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.

    “Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”

    A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024

    Summary

    Will smiles encouragingly at him, swiping his tears away and kissing his forehead again. "Let's make a deal, okay?" he murmurs, voice low and full of a bittersweet sort of hope. "If in five years we're both doing better, and we're not dating anyone else-" Mike blanches at the concept of dating anyone else, of Will dating anyone else- "we can try again, okay?"

    Five years sounds like a terribly long time. In five years, Mike will be twenty-three. He'll be done with college, will have a career, could be living anywhere in the world for all he knows, and the same goes for Will.

    But five years is a whole lot less than forever, so Mike will take it.

    In the summer of 1989, Mike and Will fall apart. Five years later, they fall back together.

    Summary

    The man’s hair is dyed purple and there’s a piercing in his ear. He looks exactly like the kind of person that would’ve had Geliy shooting back liquor in a fruitless effort to give himself the courage to ask for his number. The piercing is on the side that suggests that, maybe, if Geliy did somehow manage to find the courage, the man might have said yes.

    It’s a fantasy within a fantasy, though. In reality, the man would say nothing. His mouth is a mess of wounds and wires, blood and metal sealing his lips together. Geliy sucks in a horrified breath as he hides his face against his legs.

    or,

    Coat Guy helps Wireface remove his wires.
