Chapter Text






































Dan Moriarty leads a dull, numbing existence as a night-shift clerk at a gas station. Fleeing a troubled past he refuses to confront, his days blur into a monotonous cycle of work, sleep, weed, and a painfully unfulfilling relatioship. Everything remains suspended in that gray inertia- until one night, on the vast, silent plains of Kansas, he meets a stranger at the gas station: an older man, kind in demeanor, with a sadness that seems to linger just beneath the surface.

The main characters are obviously inspired in Arthur and John, but they are so radically different that I decided to make them my own original characters, and I would love to be known outside this fandom, but i'm aware that tagging this as john x arthur would give me much more reaching. Anyways. Enjoy :3
English is not my first language nor im american,so i have no clue how does small talk works irl. Also, Dan has a heavy southern appalachian accent and I've tried my best to do it in a natural realistic way, but again, my mother tongue is not english so have that in consideration
