Summary
He could feel the pounding headache, the burn in his lungs and his organs failing him one by one.
But he couldn’t think about any of that.Thinking meant slowing down. And slowing down meant dying.
He had to keep walking, until he was the only one still walking, their winner.
Then they would all see him for what he was: the best. Better than all the other boys.or: Barkovitch and Parker are the last ones walking in the Long Walk.

Summary
Gary groaned into his pillow, and ignored the look that Rank had shot his way. Two fucking hours of his life wasted on going through online dictionaries just to learn that Parker introduced himself like a normal fucking human being.
He had figured it out, he could close the laptop, forget about it all and go to sleep. But… He could also go through the fingerspelled alphabet, just in case Parker needed to spell something to him again. It would be easier that way, that's all. It didn’t mean anything more.
He didn’t close his laptop until he had all the letters of the alphabet memorized.
or; gary barkovitch finds one person on campus who doesnt immediately hate him and he is determined to change that. even if it means learning a new language

Summary
He remembered the gunshot.
He remembered dying. He had died, he was sure of it. How was this possible? Was this his life rewinding itself, some montage before his death?
But it didn’t feel like a memory. It looked so real. He was there.Then, the guards barked their orders. The Major gave his speech. And the Walk began, exactly like it did before.
What the fuck?
Stuck in a time loop, Collie Parker didn’t expect to find himself watching Gary Barkovitch. He definitely didn’t expect Gary to look back.

Summary
‘Olson told me that when him and his wife said their goodbyes when he left home for the Walk, they said each other’s Words. That’s when they both knew he wasn’t coming back.’
‘Oh shit.’Everyone had the last words that your soulmate will say to you tattooed on their skin from the moment they were born. Some people had a long streak of words, something memorable. Sometimes it was Words that could point them in the direction of their soulmate, to make finding them easier. He only had one word, and it was his name. Ray. Written in a neat handwriting above his heart.
Or: Ray Garraty falls in love in a place where only one person can make it out alive.

Summary
Zoro has the right idea, but his execution could use a little work.
Wherein Zoro thought his declaration in Baratie was a confession, Luffy thought he was just really devoted.
Mostly canon-compliant, post OPLA. Luffy-centric.

Summary
Jim thinks he's one of the few people trapped in this town that genuinely likes Jade, and even he doesn't like him a lot of the time. Tabitha was the one with the growing soft spot, and he suspects Tian Chen likes him more than she lets on in English. For the most part, what he and Jade have is the shared failure that was the radio tower, coupled with abject loneliness and the numbing boredom that comes with being trapped within walls that are undeniably there, and yet also worryingly non-existent.
Boyd once referred to something as the edge of town, and Jade made maybe three new enemies in record time by theorising that the looping concept of the roads disqualified them from having an edge at all.
OR, Jim is Schrodinger's widow until Tabitha comes back and opens the box.
