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.
(Or: the Time Loop fic.)

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!
