Yeah, so…I have become a liiiiittle obsessed with Justified over the last months.
Particularly with the mess of a ship that Raylan/Boyd is.
And uhm. I tried not to write about them.
I REALLY FUCKING TRIED.
But that idea stayed stuck in my head and uh, so…I wrote a thing.
The first 5 chapters are finished and I just uploaded the first one at AO3.
Enjoy, I guess? If anyone wants to read this.
You know I won‘t let you get away
SUMMARY:
When Raylan receives a letter from Boyd, everything changes.
Not because it‘s their first contact in years. Not because Boyd tells him he is being released from prison before the end of his sentence. But because Boyd gets out of prison on compassionate release. The coal dust has caught up with him for good, he claims. Raylan isn‘t sure what to believe.
So he has to make sure his favorite criminal really is a dead man walking and not planning one more coup. That‘s all. That‘s why he turns up on his day of release. No other reason.
Ok maybe there is, but neither Raylan nor Boyd want to admit it.
Until they both realize that a ticking clock in the background might just be their last and only chance at a window of togetherness.

Me, one year ago: „This story will only have ten chapters.“
Me, today: *uploads chapter 30*
Joke‘s on me, I guess.
