Summary
“Ah, he just ran off somewhere. It'll be fine, son.” Dutch waved a dismissing hand.
“I’ll go find him,” Arthur grumbled, replacing his scarf with a small huff, "I guess."
Dutch laughed, the kind that probably meant something but that Arthur was not going to pretend to understand. Some untold truth, a subtle irony, and for a second Arthur felt he could understand it. Then he pushed the thought aside and marched outside.

“I'm bein’ friendly! You looked down, amigo. I just want to help a brother out, yeah? Get you back in your rhythm.”
“… Dutch asked you to, didn't he?”
Javier rolled his eyes, “What? No.”
“But you don't like me.”
“I like you plenty.”
“No, you don't. I ain’t stupid.”

Summary
The Marston family has a new tradition that begins on Tuesdays thanks to their daughter.
It felt like the days passed too quickly, but every Tuesday his little girl trotted to find her daddy and hide away from sewing duty. No one could blame her. Though, Abigail usually did most of it, Ruthie hated it nevertheless. She hated sitting still and she hated being quiet and she hated anything that wasn't fun. Though, John didn't know what was quite so fun about learning to read—he had hated learning himself.

Summary
"I am tryin' to save us. Why can you not understand that?"
"You are tryin' to damn us."
Silence was the only thing breathing between them. Dutch stood behind Hosea, somewhere that the old man didn't care to look. This wasn't the first time this argument had come about, it wouldn't be the last. Since that Micah Bell had joined nothing felt right. It had all gone to hell. Hell in the form of a man closing himself off from everyone but the devil himself.

Summary
"Whatever candor that they had before felt as stuck and murdered as anyone who had gotten in Micah's way these last eight or so years. Dutch didn't flirt, he didn't grin, he didn't even chuckle like he used to. The fancy talk died some time ago, and Micah's hands suffered for it."

Summary
"They usually come with a little ribbon 'round the neck," Karen explained, the words coming out bright and laced with a contained hilarity that kept threatening to spill over into actual laughter. She rotated the rabbit slightly, as though displaying it from multiple angles was important. "But I didn't think you'd want some little raggy ribbon. Too ordinary. So I got one of them little boas—" She gestured at the lavender fluff with one finger. "—'cause you're all fancy, ain't you? Figured your rabbit ought to be too."
Molly looked at the rabbit.

Morbell body swap. Visceral angst, dysphoric character study, switching points of view, dicks.

This is so good! I love the way the "wrongness" between them is explained, being in someone else's body. I also love the long-term effects >:3 I just don't have the words, it's so delicious!!!

OH how to describe this? It's so good, so worth the read. Every chapter leaves me waiting for the next and so much of this is just stuck in my brain now. There's this fine line (for me) of disturbing to addictive ratio that will keep me reading through even the most uncomfortable moments and this story nails it! The prose here is just so good I can't put it down. Another beauty. Fav depiction of Colm O'Driscoll and Micah Bell! Love how it ends 💚
