TITLE: Conversations With Ghosts
AUTHOR: roseveare
RATING: PG13
LENGTH: ~12,000 words approx
SUMMARY: Nathan's Trouble came back gradually, a little each day ever since he walked alone down the armoury hill and left his heart behind. A few days after he finally awoke with no sensation left in his body, they found the first corpse with aether-smudged eyes.
Now he faces questions he never wanted to ask. Are the Troubles coming back? Is the apparition of Duke seen in Haven responsible for the killings? Can Croatoan's reach extend beyond the walls of the new Barn, and even death itself?
PAIRING: Duke/Nathan, Audrey/Duke/Nathan
NOTES: written for PhoenixDragon in the After Forever post-finale fic exchange: Duke isn't dead, but isn't technically alive, either. Nathan had to make a choice, Duke was not that choice. But he feels haunted and wonders if he made the right one - as attacks on Haven begin by a serial killer and Duke is the obvious suspect, even as he is not really there to defend himself.
This story is set as an alternative to the last ~2 minutes of screentime in the finale; Audrey is still in the armoury, and Nathan is still trying to live his life and rebuild Haven.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, no profit, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Loosing this into the wild is a terrifying prospect. Should hopefully be posted complete in time for the last part to be uploaded for this Friday's Nuke Night on Tumblr.

I can't tell you how relieved I am to finally take this off the editing pile. Like, two and a half years overdue.

Icon has never been more appropriate, given the opening scene.

TITLE: The Choice
AUTHOR: roseveare
RATING: M
PAIRING: Duke Crocker/Nathan Wuornos, Duke Crocker/Dwight Hendrickson
LENGTH: 4,800 words
SUMMARY: Sleeping with the town fixer and the Chief's son was a sweet deal for Duke... until they both found out, along with the Chief and just about everyone else in Haven. Written for dvioletta in Troubled Tales 2015.
NOTES: This is not my usual sort of subject matter, but for some reason this prompt which was pretty much the whole plotline giftwrapped kept coming back to me and one day did a takeover of my brain. I was supposed to be working when the majority of it was written straight through in one morning.
NOTES #2: This is set in some AU where Garland is still around by the time Dwight comes to Our Heroes' attention, otherwise around ~mid season 2.
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, no profit, yadda, yadda, yadda.

This morning I was asked what Nathan's Troubles are now, and thought a reminder was a good idea, so made a quick substitution of the art for this chapter, with apologies to Leonardo da Vinci!
