    Summary

    It’s funny what twenty or so years will do for a lowly sinner like Boyd making birthday wishes while the fire department put out the bonfire they’d started

    Summary

    Boyd says, “Good evening, Raylan,” all soft and solicitous, and Raylan for once does not seem to mind that particular tone. He just straightens up, cracks his back, stretches. Anyone else might look lackadaisical—despite how hard Raylan is trying, he still has the tight-shouldered, set-mouthed look of a boxer rallying himself for the next round.

    “Been a long goddamn day,” Raylan says. “Thank God it’s over, huh?”

    Summary

    Tim takes him out for drinks.

    Always, this is how Raylan thinks of it. Even when Raylan initiates, slides up alongside Tim’s desk as deputies are starting to shuffle home for the night, leans on it and pretends he doesn’t like the squint-eyed, not-quite-irritated smile Tim turns upward at him.

    Even when Raylan says, “Beers at Shooter’s?” and Tim says, “Make it bourbons, and say you’ll drive me home.”

    Even when Raylan pays, and keeps his wits about him while Tim goes a little lax beside him, even when Tim keeps fucking smiling like he knows what Raylan’s all about.

    Even when Raylan drops him back at his apartment and returns the sloppy, ironic salute Tim offers as thanks—never a hand shake or a clap on the shoulder. Tim doesn’t touch him, maybe doesn’t touch anyone if he isn’t bending their elbow behind their back to cuff ‘em. Tim keeps his hands to himself.

    (And maybe Raylan thinks about that, too. About how deliberate Tim is with all of himself, about what it would take steer all that strange, careful deliberation somewhere a little more reckless)

    Summary

    Four years of Loretta McCready.

    ---

    “I got a whole lot of admiration for you,” Teena says. “Strikin’ out your own path—I heard how you stood up to Boyd and Markham too, always thought you must be somethin’.”

    Loretta ducks her head a little. “Didn’t know any other way.”

    “You’re a Harlan girl, you know plenty of other ways,” Teena tells her, “and they all end up someplace grim.”

    “I got no guarantee whatever I’m doin’ now won’t end up someplace grim too,” Loretta admits. “None at all.”

    Summary

    “You ever heard of doors to nowhere?” Tim asked the skin of Raylan’s stomach, sucking softly and letting it go before it got pink. “Doorframes left over from otherwise demolished houses, the last bits left standing.”

    Summary

    When Raylan receives a letter from Boyd, everything changes.
    Not because it‘s their first contact in years. Not because Boyd tells him he is being released from prison before the end of his sentence. But because Boyd gets out of prison on compassionate release. The coal dust has caught up with him for good, he claims. Raylan isn‘t sure what to believe.

    So he has to make sure his favorite criminal really is a dead man walking and not planning one more coup. That‘s all. That‘s why he turns up on his day of release. No other reason.

    Ok maybe there is, but neither Raylan nor Boyd want to admit it.

    Until they both realize that a ticking clock in the background might just be their last and only chance at a window of togetherness.

    (Takes place after the original series finale and ignores primeval)

    Summary

    Tim’s wind up is theatrical. He lifts his leg fully off the ground, pulling his knee up and doubling in on himself. But the heater when he lets that thing go is enough to make an audible whistle. One that’s followed by the starburst of shattered glass. “What the hell was that?” Tim is squinting into the dying light and out into the dappled shadow of the trees. He was aiming for nothing, that much was obvious.

    “There’s an Oldsmobile parked about five hundred feet out.” Raylan points without looking away from his book, right down the line where Tim threw his fastball. He doesn’t have to see Tim to feel him wince.

    Summary

    When people asked what it was that made Raylan realise that Tim was the one, he told them that it was the way that Tim always made sure that the bed was made. It was the schmoopy kinda deal that people expected, and made people laugh right on cue.

    The real moment of truth, the one that not even Tim knew about, was that morning that Raylan went to put on his old horseshoe ring, and it didn’t fit.

    This is the story of Raylan's horseshoe ring, and the time it has spent on, and off his finger over the years.

    Summary

    Maybe he misses the feeling of fucking someone he works with. Maybe he just wants to see the straight cowboy bend a little more his way. Tim tries not to dissect his psyche anymore than the government mandated sessions he’s been summoned to.

    Summary

    Tim starts showing symptoms early in the weekend, but it's mild enough that he successfully passes it off first as allergies and then as a head cold until Tuesday morning, when he shows up at the office a little after eight thirty — practically late by his standards — looking like death warmed over.

     

    Or: Tim gets sick. Raylan worries, in his own way.

    Summary

    The first one is a joke. Or at least Tim assumes it is. He can't imagine any other reason why Raylan would see fit to buy him an obnoxiously large bouquet of flowers and then leave them on his desk for the whole damn office to see.

     

    Or: Raylan starts leaving gifts for Tim in the office.

    Summary

    The prequel to such a sucker for a fixer-upper.

    ---

    “You sit here,” Loretta says, and when she comes back, she’s got two cups of coffee. Tim can smell the whiskey in the one she gives him and he figures she must’ve learnt how to care for somebody that's drunk too much the night before. Of all the things, that makes him feel the worst.

    “Thanks,” he says, and he spends a good long while staring into the coffee before he swishes it around his mouth and then drinks it.

    “I got a proposal for you, Marshal,” Loretta says.
