    Summary

    New Orleans, 1933.
    Vincent Whittman’s assignment (punishment) seems simple enough: recruit Mr. Alastor Hartfelt, the city’s famed radio star.
    But his trip derails the moment he meets the man dressed in a smile too sharp, with secrets too deep, and a presence that hums with something far beyond him.
    One broken ritual binds them for decades, pulling them back to each other again and again, to the one soul neither can quite break away from.

    Summary

    Moving in with Wade was categorically not a regret. In fact - not that he was ever going to let himself admit that to Wade’s face - this was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. But of course, he was moving in with Wade fucking Wilson who, as much as he had grown on Logan throughout their bizarre adventure, was still a human tornado. Sometimes it was really hard to remind himself how glad he was that Wade had called after him.

    They hadn’t really had an exact conversation about how long Logan was expecting to stay. Wade’s words on that first walk back to the apartment had been “Stay as long as you need - until you get sick of me, honestly!”

    “You think I’m not already there, Bub?” Logan had joked with a wry smile.

    ---
    Logan has decided he's going to try and not fuck it up this time around. He's going to be grateful for the second chance that Wade gave him when he met (kidnapped) him in that bar. He's going to be a good dad to Laura, and a good roomate and friend to Wade. Which means he is absolutely not going to let himself take Wade's joking flirting seriously, and he categorically won't get in the way of Wade and Vanessa. Even if the selfish part of him wants to.

    Summary

    While most of the events he and Jay went through were horrible, Jay was always able to make things fun. Somedays when the two had finished editing the latest entry; Jay would drag Tim outside of whatever hotel the two were staying at to watch the sunrise.

    God, what Tim would do to have those mornings again; No matter how much he would despise being up that early, he would do anything to enjoy those mornings with Jay again.

    So here Tim sits, on the steps outside his apartment in the early morning; After being woken up from another nightmare of his partner's body. Gazing upon the sun slowly making its way up as birds begin to sing in the near distance.

    Humming a gentle tune, Tim pads his thumb across a very familiar hat; The hat is covered with small tears and dirt stains from the number of tumbles its owner had taken. Though no matter the number of stains and tears in the thing, the amount of love and care in it overtook the damages.
    -----
    After the events of MH Tim moves out of state in an attempt to allow himself to heal, yet is struggling when a familiar spirit decides to make himself present within Tim's home.

    Summary

    “The Angel of Death, the ferryman of the Styx, the terror of the western seas. One of the most feared captains ever to sail, and yet, I have to wonder… how did a man like you end up all on his own? We searched the area where you were found—not another soul in sight. So,” He fixes him with a long look, allowing the silence to hover like a dark cloud, the words rolling off of his tongue with all the venom and smugness he can muster, “—tell me, Philza. Where is your crew?”

    OR: Technoblade is a naval captain, and Phil his unwilling prisoner. Somehow, they manage to come out of it as friends in the end.
