Life, Stilled, by Match (PG)
Fandom: TWIN PEAKS
Pairing: Cooper/Truman
Author on LJ: unknown
Author Website: unknown
Why this must be read:
Most fics focus on the outré aspects of life in Twin Peaks: the many illicit activities (drugs, adultery, prostitution), the outbursts of violence, the supernatural events. By contrast, this is a quiet, reflective story in which Harry Truman contemplates the price and possibilities of life in a small town. Brokeback Mountain fans, this one’s for you:
Harry can see himself twenty years on, when his lanky frame begins to collapse into itself. He'll be the one hunched over a fifth warm-up of coffee at the Double R, seat facing away from the window. The caffeine won't make him alert; instead it'll keep him drugged-up and slow, rattling through a life that's both more and less than he hoped it would be.
