Technically anything that doesn’t have chapters can be considered one-shots regardless of length so I’m not sure what “good enough for a one-shot” means. They’re all good stories, Brent.

Very true! I don’t know what those comments are about either but I sure have gotten them over the years.

My notes:

This is set in the comics canon, but no need to have read them beforehand to get this. I always like reading fics based on the comics, their dynamics is a bit different, and it results in a new kind of stories. I enjoy the atmosphere in this, the missing each other even when together, and then deciding to do something about it.

"Think about it: the way we look down on fast fashion, food that isn't locally sourced. It's all inverted from how it used to be. It's like, we'll indulge any values as long as there's a big price tag."

"Even if it's true, that this wasn't like Fred, I still don't know if I should be rewarding him with my comfort. To show him that he can do shit like that and still deserve affection."

"'It wasn't you, Fred.' I don't know why I keep saying that. It feels wrong. It's like we're trying to convince ourselves we're not terrible."
