Summary
“What am I going to do with you?” He whispers against her skin, and Taggie doesn’t know, just knows that now she’s had a taste of this, of him, there’s no way she’s going to let him go.

Summary
Now he ain’t rightly sure what he wants. Just knows that the thought of her all trussed up and pretty getting stabbed on her wedding day, makes his blood boil with the heat of a thousand suns.

Summary
They sit in silence for a while, chewing on Iguana, until he can feel those eyes on him again, searching for something he ain’t got no authority to give. His moral code had fallen to pieces some years ago apparently and he was only just realising it needed to be stitched back together again.
He wants to offer it to her though, nail himself on that metaphorical cross. Offer absolution.

Summary
Her head swivels, and she’s staring up at him with that madness in her eyes again, same as when her mouth was full of his blood, and she’s covered in guts and mush, breathing heavily, and fuck, but she is beautiful like this.

Summary
She wonders about those hands, are they as gentle upon a woman’s body, or does he reserve this tenderness for the animal kingdom alone? Would he soothe and caress, or bend a body to his will, demanding the authority he reaps in every other aspect of his life?
Wandering thoughts, and none likely to help her with the puzzle she is assigned to solve.

Summary
All things crack—the pavement turns to rubble, the glass gives way to shards. It’s just about pressure and erosion; about the passing of time and the burden of its weight. The question of whether the broken thing will be mended, fixed back to repair, is another matter entirely.
All of this is to say: Taggie had reached her breaking point.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
“Have you ever seen a waterfall?” The girl asks. They're sat side by side in the shadow cast by a broken wall, watching as the mutt prances round and round in circles: chasing her own tail, acting a fool rather than the killer she was trained to be.
A oneshot based on the Ghoulcy Prompt account on twitter.
Prompt: Water.

Summary
Arlo simply didn't want a girl because they never really made back what they cost you. You couldn't set them on the mines during the summer and they weren't suited to his 'businesses', couldn't crack knee caps or stand shoulder to shoulder with him, block a doorway and put a fist against a face. They were useless, and he growled as much often enough; gave his girl the name Raylan so everyone would know he didn't have a say in the matter, but it was clear as crystal what his say would have been.
