Summary
"Roman and Patton won't care," Virgil tries not to whine. "Roman would probably want artsy pictures of the lawn and Patton would want to crunch leaves with you."
"I don't crunch leaves," Logan says petulantly.
"Yeah, okay," Virgil says, attempting to shake the mud off his rake. "You nearly knocked me into the road on our first date because you saw a prime, untouched maple leaf just ripe for the pouncing."
Virgil's husband—widely seen as a no-nonsense, highly respected professor with a doctorate—sticks out his tongue. Virgil sticks his out right back.
or: virgil and logan rake leaves and it takes all day. they end up having fun with it, though.

Summary
Some of the fondest memories of his childhood are in the kitchen, with his mother and brothers—learning how to flour a rolling pin, how to roll cookie dough into perfect little spheres, how to lattice pie crust, how to measure and mix and combine and plate, how to make them look as wonderful as they tasted.
Now, it’s just him.
He doesn’t mind it being just him, really. He loves to bake, never mind the addition or subtraction of people to do it with him. The only thing it changes is if he puts on music, if he laughs as often, if he flicks flour off his fingers to stick to shirts like dustings of stubborn snow, if that near-constant weight in his chest lightens a little with the aid of good company to help him carry it, just for a little while.

Summary
It didn’t take very long for the first “oh shit, you’re giving out candy?” to float indelicately from the porch.
“Well, you gotta say trick or treat, but yeah!” Patton said back.
“Oh, right, yeah—trick or treat?”
“Here ya go!”
“Whoa, thanks, man—just one, or—“
“You can take a whole handful, if you want, I’ve got plenty.”
“Fuckin’ siiiiiick, dude, thanks!”
“No problem—happy Halloween! Stay hydrated, be safe, make good choices!”
Roman snorted, and Virgil elbowed him in the side.
“What?” Roman said. “He’s dad-ing random strangers off the street!”
or: the others attempt to tell patton that a college-kid predominant neigborhood won't be prone to trick-or-treaters. they are wrong.

Summary
Really, the fact that the library's haunted was half the reason that he'd applied to work in the library in the first place. And sure, the first time Logan had appeared, Virgil nearly had a heart attack and ran out of the library and had one of the worst panic attacks he'd had in years, but, well. The pay was nice, and he got free coffee from the much-less-haunted café upstairs, and the ghosts really weren't very troublesome at all, after Logan had appeared and apologized for making a fuss and that they hadn't known he'd worked there—apparently they didn't bother the librarians. Logan's pretty boring, ghost-wise.

Summary
Part of the appeal of the carnival—most of the reason Remus wanted to come so bad—was the fact that performers wandered the trails, marked on the maps. Zombies and witches and...
Clowns.
Patton’s biggest fear is clowns. To the point that when he and Patton were playing Knight/Prince Roman and Prince Patton during recess, some people in their grade were just talking about clowns once, nice and friendly clowns without pictures or anything, and Patton had started crying because he was so scared.
So the clown path is to be avoided at all costs.
or: they do not succeed, and how roman handles that.

Summary
“I know,” Virgil says, “I know, I know, but—but I basically have proof, this time, all the other stuff seemed, y’know—creaking furniture and things not being exactly where I remember and whispers in the night, that kind of thing.”
“Proof,” Logan sighs, and rolls his eyes. “All right. What proof is there.”
“It locked me in a closet.”
There’s a brief, thoughtful pause.
“So, like, the ghost is homophobic?” Roman says.
or: the boys try to be ghostbusters. they're not very good at it.

Summary
Patton wraps his arm tighter around Logan’s shoulders, feeling the thick, chunky cable-knit pattern under his hand, enjoying the sensation of Logan’s warmth under the soft, sapphire sweater. Well, technically it’s Patton’s soft, sapphire sweater, but Logan tends to borrow his comfy-wear a lot, and Patton’s definitely super happy to let him.
Patton’s wearing a gray sweater—it’s old, and a little worn-through at the elbows, and stretched out, but it’s practically broken in at this point, he’s not about to get rid of it—and Patton tugs the sleeve over his knuckles, tucking his thumb through the hole he’s worn into it specifically for that purpose, before he reaches toward Logan and makes a grabby-hand.
Logan, obligingly, slides his hand into Patton’s, twining their fingers together.

Summary
He’s done this a hundred thousand million times before. The Imagination is still his realm, still his place, despite the fact that...
Well. Despite the fact that he didn’t feel like him very much, anymore.
But a jaunt into the Imagination could change that. He’ll run around, save some people, feel more like him again. Or, well. The him he’s supposed to be now. Right? Because he’s supposed to be the good part, isn’t he? He’s supposed to be all damsels and dragons and danger, outwitting the enemy and saving the day. That’s him. That’s Roman.
...Right?

Summary
Roman is painfully aware that his fiancé doesn’t put much stock into Halloween.
He’ll drink the apple cider that Roman buys on his grocery trips, and he tolerates the decorations that Roman strews throughout their living room with reckless abandonment, and he partakes in candy, if anyone offers him a piece, though that’s mostly because Logan has a secretly raging sweet tooth that Roman hadn’t even known about until they moved together.
But Halloween itself? Logan will sit with Roman as he passes out candy, but most of the time he’ll read a book as Roman entertains the kids. He’ll go to parties with Roman. He listens to Roman’s pitches for costume ideas (and, later, couples costume ideas) but he refutes most of them and he wears regular clothes or the least effective costume he can—most of the time, he just keeps on the white lab coat he has from work and deadpans that he’s a scientist whenever someone asks, even though he is literally a scientist in his day-to-day life so it’s not like he’s dressing up at all.

Summary
Virgil had introduced him to it, actually, through one of those jokes that Patton never seemed to get—he knows now that it was a joke about Sans, which is apparently pretty popular online. Patton can get that—and had showed him a couple videos of playing through the game.
And when the price dropped to $5, well, it sure was less than a Sims expansion pack, and any game that prides itself on its punnery is a game that sounds fun to him.
or: the world is cold and mean and bad, sometimes, and patton thinks that some video game escapism is far from the worst thing in the world.
