Oh, Garraty by Personall
Fandoms: The Long Walk - Richard Bachman, The Long Walk (Movie 2025)

Summary
New student Billy Stebbins takes over Ray Garraty's mind like a parasite.
Garraty loves his girlfriend Jan, and Stebbins is almost everything she isnt, and yet he dreams of him instead.
•••
"Don't tell dad." Garraty had cried once to his mother when he was young, much younger. He'd been caught with a boy, 'caught' but they didn't know what they were doing. Not really. The only thought Garraty had was, don't tell dad. Why had he thought that? Garraty's father never hit him, never shamed him. Whenever he disobeyed, Garraty's father punished him, yes, but never violently, and yet there was this unspoken knowledge that what Garraty had done with that boy was different, worse.
Even with his father long dead, those words echoed in his head. Don't tell dad. He was scared as if still there was this cosmic punishment waiting for him on the other side.

Summary
“The only guarantee you have as a human being is that you’re going to die. It’s up to you if you wanna see the light or the dark of the world before that happens.”

Sixteen and already out of options, Ray is thrown into Youth Rehabilitation, the government’s silent solution for troublesome boys. No trials. No appeals. No mercy. Just a stamped file and a future decided for him.Everyone knows what Youth Rehab does:
It breaks you.
It rebuilds you.
It spits you back out as something useful to the State.Kids go in angry, scared, defiant.
They come out emptied, sharpened, obedient if they come out at all. -

Summary
Ray’s teeth clenched, his boots nudging against the floor as he stood in front of Pete. “Maybe this is home? I mean — Maine, ya know,” Ray shoved his hands in his pockets, "maybe this will be home, man.”
Pete’s eyes crinkled, just the slight uptick of his lips as he nodded along, “Sure, Ray. Maybe this is home.”
And Ray wondered if he’d wake up tomorrow, or the next month, or the next year and Pete would be gone. If Pete can’t be bottled up forever, kept in a jar or on a shelf or in a pocket. If he’s like the passing seasons, home to nowhere and always changing. Yet, the seasons guarantee a return, a promise that with the end of winter, then spring will come. But not Pete. There is no promise that Ray will see him come autumn. When the chapel is finished and the sun begins to set early, maybe Pete will pack up his bags and leave for his next home. That the ache in Ray’s bones can’t be Pete’s home.
Except Ray is not home, not for Pete and not for himself.
—
or, Ray lives a quiet life in rural Maine with his preacher father and depressed mother. Along comes Pete, trying to find a new life to call his own.

I adore you. I adore you. I adore you.
God, he wants to say it out loud. Wants to scream it. He’d carve it into the walls. Into her heart.
I adore you.
But it’s a lazy Sunday morning, and the sunlight is trickling through the blinds in thin golden stripes, scattering soft, dancing colors across the bed he’d shoved up against the window.

Summary
He’d made it 6 months now, half of what Richie asked of him. It was an agonizing test of will. William Stebbins was disciplined, built his whole future on the back of that. Still, he needed that R on his finger, needed Richie to see him on the field and remember that Stebbins breathed only for him, loved him enough to kill, hungered for nothing but his affection.
But Richie wants him to wait, and Stebbins wants whatever Richie wants.
“Maybe,” Richard starts, drawing him out of his memories, “Maybe it’d be okay for you to do it on your next off week.”

Summary
Barkovitch had a natural eye for photography.
He didn’t pay much attention to the so-called rules of the craft, often making his pieces based off vibes and simply what looked and felt right. That philosophy hadn’t failed him so far, he was doing good in all his photography-related classes.
But this next assignment had him a little stumped.
In which a photography assignment reminds Barkovitch of some childhood memories.

Summary
“Yeah, Richie, I’m a freak.”
Harkness looks a little taken aback at the admission, his brow knitting together in surprise. His once-trembling body stills, breath going shallow.
“I don’t pretend that what I do, how I feel is normal. I’m a freak. But here’s the thing, Richie,” Stebbins runs a hand up Harkness’ back, fingers closing around the scruff of his neck, “I think you like freaks.”
