Summary:
In the glow of the lighter, watching it dissolve in the pit of the spoon, Rust’s profile is put together like something handsome drawn only from memory, the connective tissue slightly off, lines configuring without anything soft or warm in it. Marty wants to touch that cheekbone. Hit it, maybe. Find out if it’s really as unyielding as it looks.
— the night after Ledoux, Marty and Rust each seek out a different sort of release.

just stumbled upon ground to break while looking for my nightly bedtime story and holy fuck it rocked my shit by god I don't think I'll be going to sleep anytime soon. the way you write. makes me want to eat those two old bitches like they're twix chocolate bars
i ALSO want to eat those two old bitches like they're twixes so you're in good company. so pleased you enjoyed it it was such a fun one to write — i loooove outsider perspective but audrey isn't just an outsider, she's got such a delicious weight to her as a foil to both marty and rust (i may or may not have a parallels gifset in the works...) which makes her impressions of them so loaded. the whole idea came to me fully-formed while i was trying to sleep one night and then i typed it out and it was 11.5k. the power of rustmarty truly

In the realm of reality, Carcosa is better known as Fort Macomb, a 19th-century brick fortress that once guarded the waters of Chef Menteur Pass in New Orleans. Fort Macomb, originally known as Fort Chef Menteur, then Fort Wood, was completed in 1822. (The Americans had just fended off the British in the Battle of New Orleans and figured a few extra forts around the place couldn’t hurt.)
Fort Macomb saw some action during the Civil War — Confederate soldiers camped there until the Union captured New Orleans and took the fort for themselves. In 1871, Fort Macomb was decommissioned and has sat idle ever since. Crumbling, overgrown, and battered by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Gustav, it is too hazardous for the public to visit. But just hazardous enough for Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
The Real Location of True Detective’s Carcosa, Fort Mccomb
