The Road So Far

Rating E Archive Warnings CNTW Words 103k Era Presence

July 1977. Jimmy is thirty-three years old with nothing to show for it. No beautiful wife. No two-point-five kids. No satisfying, fulfilling career. Nothing to point to a life being lived with any success. His closest friends are Beep, his high school friend turned Hollywood hotshot who supplements Jimmy's burgeoning cocaine addiction, and Robert, his annoyingly British coworker at Swan Song Records.

After Jimmy finds himself unemployed, he boldly attempts to make a change: he's going on a cross-country road trip, and he's taking Robert with him. Burning up the highway, Jimmy struggles to make sense of the mess his life's become and tries in vain not to fall in love with Robert, whose brilliant optimism threatens to break through Jimmy's cynical, hardened heart. As they drive across the United States, strangers become friends, passions are awakened, and lives begin anew.

Five Years Gone

Rating E Archive Warnings CNTW Words 113k Era Physical Graffiti

After the car accident that wrecked his life and left him a widower, Jimmy Page has spent the last five years in mourning. Everything changes when his daughter, Scarlet, begins kindergarten, and Jimmy meets her eccentric hippie teacher, Robert. Robert is a blast of color in the dreary landscape of Jimmy’s world, and Jimmy feels a spark. Ravaged by a tragedy of his own, Robert’s approach to grief is the opposite of everything Jimmy knows. Together, they build a relationship that just might fill the holes in their lives.

That contentment is gone in the blink of an eye, however, when Jimmy receives a mysterious letter haranguing him about the accident and raising the startling question that Scarlet may not even be his daughter.

Jimmy soon discovers the circumstances surrounding the accident have implications far more disturbing than anything he imagined. As his investigation grows, he finds himself uncovering secrets about his past and the people he left there, including the fiancée he lost long ago. But how deep does Jimmy want to dig into the darkness when the results could put his life in jeopardy? And does he have the strength to survive what he finds there?

Jimmy reaches out and takes Robert's nearest wrist between his thin fingers. Robert's skin is burning hot, and he has to feel how frigid Jimmy's own is against him. Robert twitches like he wants to pull away, but he lets Jimmy lay his warm hand over his chest. His fingers splay along the curve of Jimmy's throat where the thrum of a pulse would beat beneath thin, fragile skin. Jimmy is cold and unyielding, like a stone. His dead heart no longer thumps in his chest.

Most days, Jimmy feels like everyone else knows he's a love-struck fool. Like he's constantly fighting to make sure no one sees the surreptitious glances he casts at Robert or how the syrupy timbre of Robert's voice brings a smile to his face. Because no one would trust him if they knew he wants things he can't have, wants things he's not allowed to ask for.
