Summary
Rust was a heavy smoker since his late teenage years, and he picked up his liking for Camel Blues from the first woman he ever cared about.
He knew she was the one part of his ‘programming’ that he would not be able to deny himself: memory of the feeling, longing for the grim days when a shred of light made it worth living.
Lust can morph into love. Love – into resentment, but care… Care will remain the same.

Summary
Lorraine and Rust were married, once. They still are, only it doesn't feel that way anymore.
The year is 1995 and she's followed him to Louisiana. Not by his request, not by hers. More by the shackles of an unspoken agreement.
A big game of pretend and neither of them are very good at it.

Summary
After the interrogation, Roland has to collect himself. Alone. Leaning over the dingy bathroom sink of the station to remind himself how to breathe again. Feeling deep down that he’d broken something held sacred to him. Tom’s trust. And even more, maybe even his love this time around.

Summary
He rose on his knees a little, trying to find her big round skull in his view before lining up again. It wouldn’t be difficult; she’d been sniffing around their cabin since the development of a new quarry a couple hundred miles north began. First just drying meat, then the mean little cat Travis kept for mice. Sometimes their laundry. He’d shot sparrows with the Grant brothers in the summer and rabbits since he was nine, could hit a deer as it sprang away from thirty paces, hooves kicking leaf litter, this was easier than hitting a tree.
Be Rust, be born out of small-town tragedy and now you follow calamity like a migratory bird. No one knows the orange glow of suffering over the horizon better than you.

Summary
I am a 28 year old felon with no high school degree, and a dirty old van one year younger than me painted like Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. I can play anywhere between the ages of 20 and 29 depending on if i shave. I’m a line cook and work late nights at a bar. If you’d like to have me as your stictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you, to torment your family, I’m game.
(Marty meets Rust for the first time on Thanksgiving. On Craigslist.)

Summary
Follows the plot of season 1 of True Detective but with Wednesday characters.
Wednesday and Enid Sinclair solve crimes together and probably fall in love.Disclaimer: I added the warning for rape/non-con but I want to be clear that I will not be depicting that, the plot alludes heavily to it so I tagged it, but I will not write the acts of that.

Everyone is trying to be normal, by a definition that no longer exists, and if they can't manage that, by a new definition that's just as incomplete and mutilating as the old one.
In a world where a lot of people work better in Alpha/Beta/Omega triads, Maggie is willing to be proactive to save her marriage, Marty will give anything a shot at this point, and Rust is through with everyone's illusions.

Summary
The handful of times it happened, they fucked with the lights off, Rust on all fours, sometimes on his belly, ass tilted up to meet the cradle of Marty’s pelvis. It was about getting off Marty told himself. Maggie was still refusing to see him and things with Lisa were over, so where else was he supposed to get off but inside of Rust’s taut narrow body?
