They’re tired. They’re tired of fighting this unrelenting monster, of being separated from their children, from each other. They know this has to change soon. Looking at each other in the gray light of dawn, they both know that this is not sustainable anymore. Something needs to happen, or they need to make it happen, or they need to let Gilead win, just to survive.
Nick and June deserve this
“It was the time when they loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other mortal trails, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore.”
From Love in the Time of Cholera (Nick’s favorite book)

Summary:
June finds herself unexpectedly slapped across the face with brutal reality. Struggling to deal with her fluctuating emotions, she spills her guts to a warm-eyed stranger. In return, he lets her peek behind his calm and composed façade at his unfathomable truth. With their masks off, they should feel small and vulnerable. But instead of embarrassment, they find understanding. Instead of shame, they find acceptance. Instead of doubt, they find connection. Where will it take them? Will they be ready to close old chapters and deal with past fears, able to accept what the other has to offer?
A Nick and June AU.

This was triggered by the season 5 trailer. I wrote it down in one afternoon because June’s shoulders are bare and you can’t convince me otherwise. So here’s this one little smut biscuit for ya.
June and Nick meet in a cabin in no-man’s-land.

I wasn’t really planning on adding to this story yet here I am. I’ve typed this companion piece from Nick’s perspective a while back, but only now finally felt like finishing it. It’s canon-divergent from 402, but really only in regards to how Nick arrested June, so the events that followed in S4 played out the same.
Max once said in an interview that Nick is starting to burst at the seams, that the reality of Gilead is weighing heavily on him. And I guess not having June there factors into his state of mind. So this is my take on that.
