Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Past Cookmann; current Mavid-on-the-rocks; current Dandy friendship
Summary: Sometimes, you don't get them back.
Word Count: 3600
Warnings: Rated for language. Adult situations and the continued aftermath of broken scenes. Oh, and Papa's being a bit of a horse's ass here, sry.

Disclaimer: Real people exist with these names; but these folks here are fictionalized characters, and not directly intended to represent the actual persons mentioned. Any similarity between the fictional version of the persons portrayed herein and the actual persons is somewhat intentional, but as far as I know, none of this ever happened, except in my mind. Dammit. (Unless it did, and then it's strictly a coincidence.) TL;DR? Fiction, don't sue.
Notes: This follows Safe in the Hard Lessons universe. There are two more fic bunnies in this arc; after that, I'm not sure if this series will continue.

Those of you interested can find the previous chapters here: Broken Trust | Safe | Scenes

Cheerleading, hand-holding, and all-around general awesomeness c/o celticfish -- as always, as ever. ♥ Thank you, bb, for your flailing enthusiasm when I mentioned finishing this storyline. :)

Notes: IDEK anymore, I swear... I guess you could call it backstory for "Broken Trust" and a follow-up to "Safe"...

Starts in the near-present, regresses into the past, and ends in the immediate present -- sorry if it's confusing, but that's the way it came to me. *shrug*

III. Spring is set in 2008
II. Summer is set in 2007
I. Winter is set in 2006
...And the fall (Summer, again) is once again 2008.

Also? I have no idea how this damn thing got so long -- Winter just got away from me completely... *facepalm*

( And it's all right if you stay with me tonight, until the rain passes by... )
