A Patchwork Life by likerealpeopledo | @likerealpeopledo-on-ao3

T | 6K | Hawk/Tim | Hawk & Maggie | Canon Compliant | Origins of Tim's AIDS quilt square | Grief/Mourning | 80s Era

Hawk spends time in San Francisco after Tim's death in order to keep the promises he made at the gala.

The events take place in canon between Tim's death and Hawk's visit to the quilt in October 1987.

It's been a little over a week since I first read this, and I'm still gutted. But in the best possible way. In the way that it will be a piece of writing that will stay with me for a very long time. It was so cathartic and such a beautiful way to process the loss of Tim and honor his memory. I don't really have the words to properly articulate how truly gorgeous this fic is, so I won't even try. We all know how the story ends for Tim, and as you can imagine from reading the summary and tags, this isn't the most light-hearted fic. However, there is very rewarding closure that makes the sad ending a bit happier and so much more fulfilling. This is a fic you definitely have to be prepared for... with lots of tissues. But it will be well worth every ugly tear, I promise! Please take time to read this fic if you haven't already, and be sure to leave kudos and comments when you do!

So simple now by @startagainbuttercup | startagainbuttercup

G | 581 | The Gala Goodbye | Hawk POV | 80s Era

Hawk has loved Tim his whole life too. He's loved him since the minute he saw him smiling adorably on that election night. He's loved him since the moment he felt him writhing in his arms, lost in pleasure. He's loved him for thousands of years, even before he was born. He loved him every second of every minute he spent with him, and he loved him even more when they were apart.

Or, "I have loved you my whole life" scene, Hawk's POV, a lot of overwhelming feelings.

“About what?”

“Same as you,” Lucy says. “About myself.”

Or, Hawk learns about Tim's letter.
