HIFargoWeek Day 1 - Anniversaries

Dead Boys: Oneshot | 3.1k words

“The anniversaries are short-lived, but they come back around at breakneck speed.”

On the anniversary of Elron’s death, the Gerhardts hold a family dinner in his honour. It doesn’t quite go to plan, as conflicting opinions on war, the world, and who should be sat at that table, lead to a heated argument.

HIFargoWeek Day 2 - Backstories

Drop It, Doe Eyes: Chapter 1 - April 23rd, 1975 – 00:31

Jethro Sprang was always drawn to the Gerhardts, ever since he was saved from a bully by their youngest when he was ten. He didn't expect that, fourteen years later, he'd be saved by that boy yet again. This time, from the Gerhardts themselves, as he found himself in a dark alleyway, drenched in someone else's blood.

HIFargoWeek Day 3 - Characters With Zero AO3 Works

A Promise Made In Blood - Oneshot | 1.7k words

In the harsh Winter of 1973, an important deal goes horribly wrong. Someone has to pay the price, but Dodd's way of delivering it rubs Blake the wrong way. It's no real promise at all, if it's made in blood, but he knew the Gerhardts would disagree.
