Congratulations.”

Summary
You turn around, and Carter is on his knees. Cheeks flushed a florid pink, hands sweaty and clasped in front of him like the moment before Sunday prayer, looking at you like a lamb begging off its slaughter.
Carter miscalculates and acts before he thinks, or, alternatively, ends up exactly where he can't admit he wants to be.

Summary
Being The Drunk is easier than being a man who lost his brother only a year ago, a man who doesn’t know how to mourn the nephew he never really knew, a man who feels like he’s inhabiting the skin of a stranger most days, who feels more monster than man, who maybe isn’t a man at all. (Gender and grief make a confusing tangle when you can’t recognize your hands either way.)
Sir Toby & grief, in 7 parts.
