Summary
They take their respective meds, and they make dinners, and they fuck like old men, because they are. Nights, they sit out on the back porch they built together and they listen to crickets sing in the creeping darkness as the sun goes down. It’s not like they have anything better to do, not really; neither of them like to travel too far and neither of them want to move to fuckin’ Florida or something so they live a quiet, contained little life and Marty continually feels a little surprised how happy it makes him.
Or: Rust and Marty and life after almost-death.

Summary
The first fight: 1996, more or less a lifetime ago, Laurie slotting her fingers through the wire of the caged dog’s crate and being surprised when he snaps at them. Rust polite and detached up to that point, unreadable until the moment he showed the whites of his eyes and snarled.
The last fight: 2002, a week or so after Rust gets called in to work the box for another county and comes out shaken and shaking, rattled down to his core by whatever the man told him. Pulling back, getting cold and detached again. Laurie putting her hand inside the dog’s mouth just to feel the weight of his teeth one last time.

Summary
“So how are you and Laurie?” Marty asks, just to have something to say.
Rust is quiet for a long minute, pulling half his cigarette down his lungs in that nervous way he hasn’t done so often, like maybe he really had learned a new appreciation for the sanctity of human life, and Marty thinks maybe he’s touched on something fragile. Maybe he and Laurie are fracturing after all, his psycho-intellectual bullshit finally worn her down. The rolling paper crackles softly in the silence between them as the cherry bites lower and lower towards the filter.
“I’m fixing to ask her to marry me,” Rust finally says, and Marty chokes on his beer like he’s had the wind knocked out of him.

A series of peeks into Rust's relationships from other people's points of view. Takes place over the course of 1995-2002 (for now) and is in chronological order, I guess. Enjoy.

Summary
There was an Understanding.
The Understanding was: Her Grace, Lady Sybil Deidre Olgivanna Ramkin, had, on the twelfth of May, married Captain Samantha Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork Watch. It was a very lovely ceremony. There had been cake.
