Garraty and McVries, set sometime after Pete asked THAT question. You know. (The one where he asks if he can jerk Ray off. In case you didn't.)

Hank's Walk by Jane Carnall
The Long Walk
This work isn't hosted on the Archive so this blurb might not be complete or accurate.
Summary
Written as a yuletide gift.
Hank Olson begins the walk cracking jokes, insulting the other competitors, speaking familiarly to the Major – the military figure in charge of the Walk. He seems confident and sure of himself. Peter McVries says in conversation with Ray Garraty that he thinks none of the hundred Walkers had fully understood the reality that the Walk does not end until all but one of the boys has been killed – not until the first boy is shot dead on the road.
What makes The Long Walk so intense is the relationships that form between the boys as they walk – strangers to each other (mostly – there are two brothers walking together, though they don't enter this story), friendships and almost-love-affairs more intense than any they could have had in any previous life. The novel focusses on Ray Garraty, who Walks through the novel in a state of almost innocence, down the road with his closest friends dying around him: Hank Olson, whose story "Hank's Walk" tells, has his own focus and purpose, which keeps him going through exhaustion and out the other side: this story shadows and echoes King's novel, looking at the first 36 hours of the Walk from another person's eyes.

Notes
This is an incredibly moving story inspired by Richard Bachman's (aka Stephen King) story, "The Long Walk". This is Hank Olson's POV and the writer does a beautiful job giving him a plausible backstory and reimagining some of the relationships with the other characters based on this.

Summary
Slash, McVries/Garraty. Weird? Me? Surely you jest. Anyway, it's very minor. Hell, even with no warnings, how much can two guys do in a minute and a half?

Notes
This is an alternative take on the end I think would have worked just as well in the original story. It goes to the heart of what's developed between McVries and Garraty.

Notes
Glimpse into McVries mind, particularly with the way he sees Garraty.
