Ever just lie in the comfort of friends who laugh and care and are freely openly themselves so you can freely openly be yourself? That's the shit.
I'm going to keep posting chapters of You&& and other fiction on cohost until it becomes read-only. I'll be moving my fiction onto my personal website, patreon (free), dreamwidth, and tumblr (SFW only) where I will continue to post future fiction, including the rest of You&& and more stories in this setting. Here's where all you can find me online (carrd).

You&& (working title) is a queer novella about when home is other people, including the monsters lurking in the woods. Check out the about page here. You&& is a sequel to Sometimes The Mountain Buries You.
Winter is relative downtime. Basin works more to make sure their car doesn't get snowed in than works extra hours on ranches. Less of their people travel in winter, less of their people come to their cabin to rest and rely on them. The second bedroom houses one consistent guest over the winter who leaves with the thaw and so overlaps their stay with Mark and Ghost's arrival for all of one evening the following breakfast.
The morning's plates are washed, dried, and put away by Mark and Ghost while Basin drops their consistent guest off at the decent town's bus. Mark and Ghost are lounging on the porch when Basin returns. They kick the underside of Mark's combat boots then drop to the porch themself.
"You good?" Ghost asks, offering a can of cider across Mark's chest.
