    Summary

    Robby is fifty-four years old after PittFest and trying really hard not to come to terms with the fact that he is trans, even if it means destroying himself in the process. Jack is having none of it. He will love Robby no matter what, thank you very much.

    There is a terrible feeling in her guts. Dread has settled there like a voracious tick, and the more it grows, the more faint she feels.

    Jack knows. Jack knows. He saw the boy in the mirror. The boy who has stubbornly refused to go away since PittFest. She tried to get rid of him. She really did. She tried so hard, but the more she tried, the stronger he became. Now, she can’t look in a mirror without seeing him. It doesn’t matter what she is or isn't wearing, he is always there. Watching. Judging. Reminding her of everything she is doing wrong.

    But at least, he was her secret. Not anymore though. She is certain Jack saw him. And she is certain this is the beginning of the end. Nothing will ever be the same.

    Summary

    For the most part, Robby likes living alone.

    He likes the quiet of the mornings, drinking coffee with a book on the porch and nothing but birdsong to interrupt his peace. Likes the space, both mental and physical, likes cooking himself a meal or hogging the blankets knowing he won’t get in anyone else’s way. And when loneliness starts to creep in, he reminds himself what happened with all the people who’ve tried to walk that path with him before.

    For the most part, Robby likes living alone.

    …Except when all three of his fucking horses get loose at once.

    or

    when lonely cowboy robby's hot ranch neighbor jack comes to the horse rescue, robby falls head over heels almost instantly. slowly, neighbors blossom into friends blossoms into a quiet, heated, eternal kind of love.
