Summary
It's been five years since Frank saved Amy's life. In a sense, he's settled down again. He lives in a tiny, anonymous apartment above a New York corner store. Most nights he works construction adding and subtracting buildings from the New York skyline. Other nights he still dons the bullet-proof vest with the skull on it to dish out his particular brand of justice.
His existence would be a lonely one if it weren't for the woman working at the corner store who slowly finds her way into his thoughts and the routine that keeps him (somewhat) sane.

Blew me away. I could not stop reading this. It's such a compelling story. So beautifully written and well thought out that it doesn't even matter that it's unfinished.

Thegoodbutter writes so beautifully and I absolutely couldn't let this fic go. Read it twice back to back. 10/10 pure perfection.

Summary
Bandaged, ill and close to death, notorious outlaw Arthur Morgan is delivered to the rural home of Miss Kathryn Vallier in the dead of night. Propriety and morality dictate that neither can act on the undeniable pull they feel towards one another despite the difference in their ages and stations. But when circumstances send them fleeing across the country together, the loneliness and wildness make it much harder to respect the lines drawn in the sand.

Complete with all the modern amenities I love in a fic: discussion of literature, music, fashion, and travels. Oh and don't let me forget the New Girl references!!! Amazing characterizations, lots of plot and lots of smut, and very realistic descriptions of feelings. Love, love, love. The secondary ginger rose is chefs kiss, too!
