Summary
Fifteen years after Benson’s killing spree, the world has moved on. The state police claim he’s dead, and no one besides Randy has ever disagreed with them.
Freshly divorced, dissatisfied with life and staring down the barrel of a mid-life crisis, Randy realizes that for him, there’s no moving on without knowing – he needs to find out what really happened to Benson, no matter how painful the truth may be.

Summary
It’s been almost twenty years since Benson Roche was sentenced to carry out four life sentences at G.H. Lemoine Correctional. Twenty-one since he had murdered his and Randy’s coworkers on a cool and bland January morning, since he had beaten Elliot Sheppard to death in the middle of Bill Snyder Elementary’s parking lot, had taken Miss Beard hostage only at Randy’s insistence he not kill her, had shot Marsha at the end of her shift at the Kutzburg Diner. Twenty-one years since he had forced Randy to drive around town with him for hours, laughing at him, maybe believing it was with him—driving around and never once trying to leave town, intent only on curing Randy of all that made him the most pathetic 21-year-old he had ever seen. Twenty-one years since he gave Randy the small white divot scars on either side of his shoulder that still twinge now and again in a flutter of permanently-confused nerves.
Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s captor. Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s only friend in the world, if only for a day. Since he had created the clean and even division of years in Randy’s life—Before Benson and anno Domini nostri Benson Roche.
In seven months, he'll be eligible for parole.

Summary
Benson walks slowly, like he’s not about to drag Randy into the worst day of his life, like he’s not about to set off a chain of events which will lead to Benson lying still and bloody in a dirty parking lot.
Randy wants to vomit. It feels so real.
(Or: the Time Loop fic.)

Summary
Jack says, “This woman was struggling with her sex life, now hosts a king and queen night for her and her husband. It’s this- this once a month thing where they treat each other like, you guessed it, a king and queen. It’s one sided for a reason, they do it for connection and such. Showing each other their love and appreciation.”
Robby nods. “Sounds healthy.”
At that, Jack outright grins. “Yes, doesn’t it?”
“Do you want me to host one for you? Is that why you’re telling me?”
“Not quite what I had in mind, brother,” Jack says. “I was hoping to host one for you.”
At that, Robby goes still.
