They both deserved to live; they both deserved to see this wretched apocalypse out to the end; they both deserved to live a life free from the chains of endless misery...He just deserved it more... ForewordHello!  This is my first time writing a Markson fanfic, and I admit that Im probably the weirdest Markson fan out there.  I do not ship them with each other romantically, but as some of the best friends Ive ever seen in my life.  So forgive the lack of "guy love" in this fic, and please do not bombard me with complaints about labeling this "Markson" and not following through on the originally suspected plotlines.  I am happy with this fic, and hope you can enjoy it it as well.  Have a great day!
