Erasure Poem (or, The Narrator Writes the First Draft of the Rest of His Life) by thenewgothicromance

Summary
Randy almost doesn’t understand how it happened, even though he’s the one who started it. Three weeks ago he’d never had sex with anyone, never thought about doing it with a guy, didn’t think much about doing it at all. And maybe that means there’s something wrong with him, but he’s not stupid—he understands that Benson wants this from him. And if Randy can use that to keep them on track for a little while, maybe Benson will come back to himself. Will shake off the shock, and tell Randy what the plan is.

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.

Summary
It's been five states and two months since the diner. They've only got $68.35 left of Randy's savings, and Benson says, half-joking, “Shit, maybe we should rob a bank.”
“We’ll just pick a bank that deserves it," Randy says. "One that’s run by shitty people.” It catches Benson off guard, because he laughs at him at first. Then he looks again, sees he’s only half-joking too.
“Burgers Burgers Burgers was run by shitty people,” he tells Randy, like Randy can’t still taste the mold in the back of his throat sometimes. “And you worked there.”
Randy shrugs. He never used to shrug in answer to people. It’s impolite, his mom always said. Use your words. She still calls him nearly every single day. He ignores it every time.
“If there’s a me working at the bank, he’ll get over it,” Randy says, and he doesn’t see it at the time, but something in Benson splinters at that.

'did you get enough love, my little dove?' universe by intheskywithamethysts
Fandom The Passenger (Movie 2023)
09 Apr 2026
Summary
A series of stories set in the universe of my The Passenger longfic 'did you get enough love, my little dove?'. While they all take place in the same universe, some stories are pre-canon and can be read on their own!
I've ordered the series so it goes 'main story, mini stories in chronological order, UFO ending (lol)', but read in whatever order suits you!

did you get enough love, my little dove? by intheskywithamethysts

Summary
The mop slapped wetly on the floor and slid across the grimy surface. Benson dug the head into the ground as hard as he could, and a sound like nails on a chalkboard ricocheted off the walls. It was agonizing to listen to. Benson didn’t care. It was the only thing louder than his thoughts.
She’s not sleeping. She’s not sleeping.
The sound of a door being pushed open. Two chimes. Footsteps. Benson looked up.
“Hey, Benson.”
Benson grunted and gave Bradley a nod as he entered. Well, at least he was working with Bradley today.
(canon-divergence: Benson's Ma passes away the night before the beginning of the movie)

My teammate [20M] and I [21M] are straight, but we pretended to be BFs as a joke. Now it’s over and I’m heartbroken. by Smile_Edgeworth for DontStopHerNow

Summary
He can’t date him for real. That would be gay, and they’re not gay. So why does letting him go hurt so much?
…and you know how we guys are, we can be the most heterosexual men on Earth but if we’re wasted we can’t really tell who we’re kissing. Besides, Sam is really great with his tongue too. NOT that I needed that information in my life, of course, but it’s true, and I always compliment a bro when he deserves it.

Summary
Benson’s about to turn and leave until he sees Bradley’s knees touch the sticky tile floor. What in the hell was wrong with this kid? He was so passive he’d lie down in front of a speeding car if you asked him to.
“Chris.”
“What?” He spins around to look.
“You should stop."Bookmarked by strawberryproblems

Summary
The cloth in his hand slid across the mottled, sun-bleached top of the table closest to the window as clattering sounds resounded from the kitchen, almost deafened by a gaggle of teenagers who were throwing fries at each other. Something had been dropped back there, probably a spatula, and for a moment Benson retreated from the confines of the kitchen and approached Donnie at the till. His face was red and angry. He clearly wasn’t as enthused about not being at home as Randy was.
Benson’s eyes rose momentarily. He looked tired, and more importantly, directly at Randy as the cloth stopped moving on the table and all of the breath that had been inside of Randy’s body suddenly vacated that space.
-----
in another time, another place, maybe Randy and Benson would have just liked to clear tables and work the late shift together.

Summary
i.
When he turns his head to glance inside, eyes seeking for something to do without a customer to handle, Benson sees how his hair’s matted down to his forehead under the bill of his cap, sees the sparkle of sweat above his lip. Bradley doesn’t notice him looking, never does, but especially not now as he wavers in his spot in front of the register from the movement. His eyelids flutter a little, and Benson thinks too belatedly that the kid’s gonna eat tile if he doesn’t sit down.Benson looks away, back down to the table, squeezing his eyes shut hard for a second and pressing his thumb to the spot between his brows. The heat’s making his mind run too fucking slow.
ii.
He eyes Benson’s jacket one more time before turning to grab a dishrag and heading back to the counter. He passes by Benson mopping near one of the back tables and, this close, he’d know he was passing by Benson even with his eyes closed. He always smells like what Randy imagines the smoking section of a bar is like.That was the other tell, he realizes belatedly — the green coat smells like musty cigarettes. Rained-through and dredging up to surface all the stale smoke embedded in the threads.

Summary
There wasn’t - there wasn’t anything else for him to do, to stop what was clearly about to happen. He had three options, and none of them were great: stand there, dick in his hands, and watch the horror unfold–like last time, something hissed in his ear, doesn't he deserve it? Don't you, Randolph Bradley?; intervene with his body and get brained against the brick wall, or the putrid nearby dumpster; or grab the rusty, discarded pipe out of said dumpster and swing.

Summary
After locking up, the question bubbles out of Benson’s chest like a belch, bleach flavored. The store key’s still in the lock and for once the exhaustion in his bones has beaten out the shrieking air raid sirens that've been howling in Benson's skull since his childhood. So Benson just does, no forethought or deeper examination involved. Allows himself the mercy of not looking too closely at why he’d ever think getting Bradley liquor loose and pliable would end up well for either of them.
“You wanna go get a beer?” A pause, the store key halfway turned into the locking position. He flicks it over the rest of the way to avoid having to go back inside and rearm the security system. “You old enough to even fuckin’ drink?”

Maybe Benson doesn’t know exactly where he’s going or how long it’ll be before this whole thing reaches its inevitable, bloody conclusion, but he knows he’s taking Randy with him. (Canon divergent from Miss Beard's house)

Bookmarker's Notes
Amazing building off of Canon, everything is still logical for whats happening and adds to the story so much. It's so amazingly in character and wished I had read a bunch of scenes of them fucking nasty or jorking it to dreams and fantasies - that being said i love and respect the authors wishes and why they chose not to include that given the whole deal. Also ty sm kevi whoever you are because I like this plausible happy ending sm more lmaoo , devastated this is the only passamger fic by this author rip

Summary
There is a big difference between a trans man exploring his identity/sexuality through fanfiction, and a cis writer misrepresenting what it means to be FTM. If you're a cis writer with the best of intentions, I hope these guidelines and resources will assist you in improving your treatment of trans men.
Chapter 1: Writing Guide, FTM Anatomy.
Chapter 2: Gallery of Trans Men.
Chapter 3: FTM Media Recommendations.
Chapter 4: Racism in Trans Headcanons.This guide was originally posted on my old account, which has since been deleted due to transphobic comments, including threats of violence. I have posted it again anyway, because I take this matter very seriously. Do not repost, copy, or in any way plagiarise this guide. But please feel free to share a link to it, so that cis authors can improve the way that they depict trans men. I have tagged characters which are discussed in the guide, and are therefore relevant. If you encounter this guide while browsing those tags, that's why.

Summary
“Hmm,” Allison says, cocking her head as Andrew looks out the window again. Neil watches Andrew for another moment before Nicky calls his name, rounding them all up to head for Starbucks. Allison looks over her shoulder as she follows and notices that Andrew is watching Neil walk away. He’s got the same indifferent expression on his face as always, but it’s enough that he is looking to spike Allison’s interest. It’s a shiny new thought, a curiosity, a colorful circus performance of an idea — it’s just what she needs to cut through the fog that’s been rolling through her mind all morning.
Andrew’s eyes flick over to hers, still unbothered, but Allison can’t help but feel like she’s got one over him this time. She smiles wide at him, and he immediately turns away.
Allison falls in step with Matt at the back of the group, throwing an elbow into his waist. He looks down at her in interest, a reliable partner in gossip-crime. She smirks at him.
“How about a new bet?”

Summary
He spins in the colorful carnival teacups of life. Everything he touches is electric — the zap! zap! zap! feeds something to his core. Or maybe it sucks something out, making him feel weightless, letting him fly above it all. Andrew doesn’t like heights, but it feels so fucking good to soar that he doesn’t even care. He’s feather-light, he’s worry-free, he’s so fucking empty that nothing matters at all. Nothing matters, everything matters, everything is so much, everything is nothing, Andrew doesn’t matter—

Summary
“I want to see him,” Andrew decides.
“They won’t let you,” Wymack tells him.
Andrew grits out, “They don’t get to decide that.”
Wymack’s eyes never stop searching him. “They do.”
Andrew can’t look at anything. He sounds awfully, condemningly and absolutely indifferent. “They don’t get to decide he’s dead.”
“They did,” Wymack says.
A hospital has never been so fucking quiet.
Or Neil dies in Baltimore but doesn’t quite leave. This a look into the complexity of Andrew’s trauma, grief, and psychosis that manifests itself as the undying ghost of Neil Josten. Reality and sanity are fragile concepts that Andrew isn’t too concerned about anymore; not if it means never letting Neil go, again and again and again. He made a promise, after all.

Bookmarker's Notes
Literally one of the most painful reads I've ever read, I'm not usually a just angst no comfort type but thr concept was really interesting to me and damn. This shit hurts.
Dozens of wicked lines I could highlight but one that I actually remembered to note was:
"If I didn’t hate him the way I do, I’d have to love him. What an awful thing to do to myself, no?"Again, so many others but I was just so stuck in reading I couldn't remember to write them down.
