Summary
“Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.
Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.
“Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”
Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.
Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.
Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

Summary
“You like me gross.” He reaches for Randy’s shirt, and Randy tugs it off easily, lowering himself backwards for Benson to crawl on top of him. Randy smells like citrus bodywash and clean-pressed cotton, like paper and motor oil, and Benson buries his face in his neck and sighs raggedly. “You like me gross, and sweaty, and–”
He’d made fun of him before, but there’s nothing weak whatsoever in the way Randy shoves him to the side. Benson lands on his back with a grunt, and Randy’s on top of him before he can fully get his bearings.
“I like you like this,” Randy says, straddling his hips and grinding down to let Benson feel just how hard he is. “I like you under me, and I like you doing exactly what I want. And yeah, fine, I like you sweaty.”

Benson picks up some day labor work to fund their fucked-up road trip, and finds out that Randy's got kind of a thing for it.Bookmarked by Nitpickled

Summary
Part 1 Complete! What if the Kingdom Hearts series stayed simple? What if there were no in between games, just KH1, KH2 and KH3? What if the story telling and tone of the first game stayed with the series? This is a re-imagining of what the series might have been like if Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3 had followed the story telling style of the first game. Takes please after KH1. The KH2 portion of this fanfiction is complete. Part 2 is in progress.

Summary
If you went digging around in Benson's car, you'd find a bottle of too-warm water that's probably safe to drink from. A spare high beam bulb, still in the packaging. A tire pump purchased almost twenty years ago for a blue bicycle. An even distribution of about thirty napkins. Enough change rattling in the glove box to buy a lottery ticket. He has everything you'd need to keep rolling down dirty roads with no end in sight.
The only thing missing from Benson's car is a gun or two.

Summary
A few minutes can make all the difference.
Benson wasn’t sure what it was. Maybe he spent a little too long on his cigarette, or maybe he took his sweet time loading up his shotgun, but nothing was going the way he planned.
Now it was just him and his fucking pathetic, moldy burger eating, tear soaked, blue-eyed coworker.
All Benson had to do was pull the trigger. His whole life had built up to this moment, and he was fucking hesitating.
Bradley was ruining everything.

Summary
Dennis's words climb back up. "You just… you assume things, you make decisions, you act like you know what's best for everyone—"
Robby's gaze is fixed on him. Dennis's broad shoulders are coiled tight; there’s an angry, pink flush creeping up his neck; his long fingers keep clenching into fists and unclenching at his sides.
"—and you don't even see how fucking condescending that is, how it makes me feel like I'm— like I'm not even a person to you, just some project—"
Robby watches Dennis unwravel under the weak spill of the streetlight filtering in through the window, his curls flashing copper and gold, his voice hoarse and furious and he knows he should calm him down, shout back, beg for forgiveness.
But he can't.
He's never seen anything more beautiful.or: robby comes back from his sabbatical to find dennis whitaker absolutely furious with him. this is, unexpectedly, not the worst thing that's ever happened to him

Summary
“Holy shit,” Santos says. “There’s a baby priest in triage.”
-
Dennis Whitaker, in his last year of seminary, is delighted to be assigned to a rectory in Pittsburgh, and to the hospital chaplaincy that comes along with it. Finally, he's out into the world, where he can be of real use.
Slightly less welcome is Doctor Robinavitch, the senior attending of the ER, who seems to resent Whitaker's presence to the point of deliberate avoidance, even though the man is coming apart at the seams and could clearly use a friendly ear. Still, Whitaker is certain he'll find a way to make the most of the last twelve months before he's ordained.
It's just that lately he's started to have the strangest dreams.
Or: Dennis Whitaker and Michael Robinavitch's lovestruck, sacrilegious year of magical thinking.

Summary
Hope was stupid. Not for Randy, who’d just gotten a little stuck. He’d pull out of this just fine. But that wasn’t everybody. Some people were just fucked. They got pregnant or got somebody pregnant, got arrested, got fucked up. Shit went too south too fast, and there was no coming back. Only hanging on as long as the poor bastards could before the inevitable end.

Summary
“I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”
“If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”
And just like that, the bubble popped.
“I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.
He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.
---
Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.- Language:

Summary
Robby thinks kissing Dennis Whitaker once won't matter. After all, he doesn't plan on being around for the consequences.
But Dennis didn't come looking for a goodbye; just the keys to Robby's house and maybe a few instructions about the plants. Instead, he gets a hug that lingers, a kiss neither of them were supposed to want.
Dennis ends up saying something that makes Robby have a change of heart.
A short story of how Dennis inadvertently talks Robby out of taking his own life. Set in the season 2 finale.

Summary
There wasn’t - there wasn’t anything else for him to do, to stop what was clearly about to happen. He had three options, and none of them were great: stand there, dick in his hands, and watch the horror unfold–like last time, something hissed in his ear, doesn't he deserve it? Don't you, Randolph Bradley?; intervene with his body and get brained against the brick wall, or the putrid nearby dumpster; or grab the rusty, discarded pipe out of said dumpster and swing.

Summary
Listen, normally Benson’s not one to make somebody do drugs they don’t want. But they’re only three hours into the afternoon shift with another five to go, and if Bradley doesn’t chill the fuck out Chris will never stop bothering him. And if Benson has to listen to that all day, again, he is finally going to do something stupid they’ll all regret. It’s easier just to make Bradley take the pills.
