Summary
“You can’t change the game, McVries. This is what has to happen.”
“I don’t want to change the game,”
The time for lofty aspirations was over; it was every man for himself,
“I just want you to try and help Ray. Take him to a hospital, try and make him better. You can use my winnings for the bill, I don’t need them; I only need him.”
Or Ray survives The Long Walk, and Pete goes through it as they both recover

Summary
With the benefit of hindsight, she cursed herself for how obvious it should have been; the long stretches where they assumed he was busy but never knocked on his closed door to check, the fact he seemed to be around no matter what time of night and the way he never seemed truly comfortable with any of them.
“Yelena, it’s not your fault.” She looked at him skeptically, and Sam doubled down, “Whatever you think you did, it was likely the straw that broke the camel’s back, with all he’s been through.”
“I should have known something was wrong,” Yelena’s voice had dulled, and she let her head tip forward until her forehead rested on her knees, talking to the floor, “He did not spend time with any of us, always alone, and it should have been so obvious he was suffering but we did not see it. So blind, when he was so kind and we did nothing in return, not even check on him. Maybe this would never happened if we had just been a good team.”

Summary
“I saved us.” He whispered breathily, a man possessed, and Swansea couldn’t help the fear that spiked in his chest. Had the latter really lost his mind?
“Curly-“
“I did save us, I did!” He cried, like Swansea had disagreed with him, “I saved us, and it should have fixed things because she doesn’t have to be scared anymore!”
“It’s alright, Curly. He ain’t gonna hurt her now.”
“I fucked up.” Curly continued, deaf to Swansea’s attempted reassurances, and the older man continued towards him, “I couldn’t do anything. I wasn’t good enough to stop any of it. I thought I could-“
Curly’s voice broke.
“I just wanted to get out of here.” Finally, his hands withdrew, and Swansea was left face to face with the younger man’s pitiful expression. Great scratches trailed down his cheeks, red and inflamed, disguised by how reddened it was by tears. He looked at Swansea like he was seeing through him, eyes not quite focusing, “I just wanna go home.”

Summary
“Curly? Can you hear me?”
He blinked and realised he’d been spacing out. She’d tipped her head trying to make eye contact, raising a hand in an attempt at alerting him.
“Ah, sorry. What were you saying?”
“I was going to ask how your friend’s death has made you feel?”
“Uh…”
Under normal circumstances that wouldn’t be a hard question. Sad, angry, depressed, scared, you name it, but those tended to be the cases where the death had been out of your hands, unexpected or inevitable or just plain tragic. But Curly had been judge, jury and executioner, the one to decide Jimmy’s fate, the one to hold the gun and the one to mourn him once the deed had been done. No emotion Curly could feel regarding Jimmy felt correct, every avenue an opportunity for ridicule or judgement.
Or, Curly goes to therapy, the fic

Summary
It rains in King’s Ditch the day Barbara Jean Barkovitch dies.
The rain does not come gently. Storm clouds bloom like thick smoke from the east before rushing forward and swallowing the sky over the town whole just to crack it back open in a thunderous storm—a downpour of biblical proportion, Baker might say. Gary doesn’t know what that means. He don’t go to church no more—ain’t gone in a long time, really, not since he was a boy. And even when he did go, Gary never sat and listened to the sermons. He never read the bible or learned the hymns. He was always restless in the pews, itching for the second he’d be able to burst through the churchhouse doors and be set free again. Gary doesn’t know heads or tails of no biblical shit, no, but he knows a real bad storm when he sees one. He’d have to be fucking blind not to. Water cascades down from awnings and rooftops to flood the streets and gutters, running off the road and soaking soil thawed from the spring. A deluge runs down from the mountain to the valley like a cleansing river, washing clean the streets of King’s Ditch.
Gary Barkovitch wishes it would cleanse him, too.

Summary
McVries tells him about meeting Ray when he’d only just meant to be passing through Freeport. He casually asks Stebbins if he believes in soulmates while he’s elbow-deep in the ceiling, and when Stebbins freezes stock still on the ladder, he only laughs that easy laugh of his and keeps on describing their meet-cute like he wasn’t really expecting an answer anyway. It’s a sweet story. Romantic, at least in the way McVries tells it.
It’s the kind of story that twists Stebbins up in places he didn’t even realize could get knots until his smile looks like it hurts. It was love at first sight. McVries doesn’t ask if he believes in that, too, and Stebbins is grateful that he doesn’t have to stutter out an answer that he’s not entirely sure he knows.

Summary
Collie is all for helping a wounded animal. But why, out of all the social rejects, did Ray decide that Gary Barkovitch was the perfect foster pet?
Just give him a chance.
This sounds like about as good of an idea as putting out food for the stray cat that won't stop coming back around. But someone else is feeding Barkovitch the scraps, so it might be in Collie's best interest to get this blonde feral beast to stop bearing its teeth at him every time he's around.

Summary
“Barkovitch and I are fucking,” Collie blurts out to Ray nearly as soon as they slide into one of the campus cafe’s booths.
Ray blinks. “I said, ‘the barista did a great job with the coffee today’, and you just responded with that.”
