Summary
Sparing a glance at Quinn, who is busy fixing her own drink, Cole’s gaze suddenly catches on a familiar figure donned in rustic patterns– and oh, he needs to get much drunker much faster.
As if he hasn’t been tested enough tonight, in a stroke of misfortune worse than being struck by lightning, in walks the elusive Ruston Vance.
Actually, Cole would prefer to be struck by lightning. At least he’d be out of here.

When these woods sigh by Under_the_red_beenie

Summary
What if Clown In A Cornfield wasn't a slasher.
Kettle Springs is just like every other sleepy small town in the Pacific Northwest, everyone knows everyone and nothing bad happens here, that is until Victoria Hill goes missing one night. Cole Hill is wracked with guilt from that night, the night he let his sister walk into the woods and never come out. His father blames him he knows, but between Victoria and his mother's terminal cancer his father's odd distance is the least of his concerns especially when bodies start turning up and the entity he sees might not be just in his nightmares.
Quinn Maybrook didn't want to move across the country to a small town but her mother and father insist this is a good thing, the fresh air and small town will be good for Mom's recovery and Dad's anxieties, so Quinn's making the best of a bad situation. The longer she stays in Kettle Springs and the closer she becomes with the locals the more she realizes something here is wrong and if she can't figure out a way to stop it, something in the woods will take them all, including her and her parents.

Everyone has moved on, Quinn is missing and hasn’t been traceable in years, Rust is still living in town and became a farmer after the land was dirt cheap, and Cole is a powerful US Senator for Missouri.

Suddenly, Cole has to go back to Kettle Springs for August recess and has to confront the past he left behind. Who’s still left in the town, Cole doesn’t know. But when he shows up and the shitshow that is Kettle Springs is worse than he was told, he needs to help the town that ran him out all those years ago. Do people even recognize him anymore?

Summary
Ruston Vance was never ashamed of who he was, even if it meant not having friends, walking to school alone, and skipping parties.
Rust would have shown Cole Hill what it meant to be loved. It’s a shame Cole never let him.
He would never be able to escape his voice—hoarse and uneven, awkward yet strangely warm.
What would the younger versions of Rusty and Colton think now, knowing they couldn’t look at each other without their chests burning, without their hands feeling unbearably empty?

Summary
"This wasn’t a reunion, they’d be back to not speaking in the morning, but this wasn’t nothing either. This was the reality of what it meant to be connected to Cole Hill. This was the puzzle, the unclean cut, the memory foam of their young bodies collapsing back— rejoining. Being together like this wasn’t difficult, it was the parting that came unnaturally, that took effort, every day since freshman year. It was why Rust had been so hesitant to open this door again. But he knew. They both knew. When they closed this door three years ago, they left a part of themselves on the other side."
Cole and Rust coping with the depth of their connection, while being too young to understand it.
A prequel to "In The State I Am"

Summary
"This was so different. It was wincing, fumbling. Cole flinching when Rust’s calloused fingers brushed against the column of his neck, Rust’s returned bristles at every touch to his burnt skin. This was nothing like before, when they were young and fearless, too reckless with their bodies to be shy— hurt. Too new in their sexuality to fear it. This was tentative, silently figuring out what scared them between breaths, between kisses."
Cole and Rust's continued attempts to rediscover what it means to be close, nine months after being hunted.
Set between books one and two.
