Southern Gothic Jogan, where Logan's in town to clear out his newly-passed grandfather's house, and meets Julian, this ridiculously attractive man that the rest of town is polite, but wary around, and no-one will tell Logan about him except that he's "sweet, but quite a bit of trouble" and that Logan should stay away from him.
yes please
The reason for this is that Julian and Adam were married I never have issues of homophobia in stories because it makes me upset so I avoid it, and Adam was very obviously abusive.
But You Don't Just Divorce (clutches pearls)
so Julian killed him
fuck yes
And pretty much everyone just kind of ignored the fact that Adam disappeared because he was a jerk, but Julian still didn't put up with it and accept the treatment, which they kinda side-eye because backwards southern town.
So they're polite because he didn't do the D-word, but also.
you know
He killed his husband
