Summary
Henrietta Jubilation Featherbottom knew something about legacies. She was a part of the most award winning lineage to ever grace chickendom. She’d raised a whole brood of blue ribbon birds, and she had Hayden to thank for that. Any affront to his honor was an attack on her own good name.
Hayden didn’t seem to mind the other farmer, though. He even let the interloper join game night. He broke the news to her over a bowl of popcorn, as if it was only natural to include this fraud. “Used to be an adventurer before settling down here. Imagine the stories!”
An adventurer indeed. Sounded like a rootless, chickenless existence - more of a rogue than a farmer, if you asked her. When their new guest arrived, Henrietta clucked with all the derision she could muster.
I offer you chickenfic in these trying, uncertain times. Enjoy :*)

Summary
“Fancy seeing you here,” Ben said. His smirk said it was anything but – he, at least, had known about their living arrangements for the year.
Bea counted to five again. “It’s one in the afternoon.”
“Not my time,” Ben said, and he slurped his beer loudly. Even three floors down she could hear the rattle of the beer in the can through his straw.
“Yes, true,” Bea said. She put a hand on her hip. “So, they let you back into the country, hm?”
“Low blow,” Ben said cheerfully. “A lazy shot. But yes, I am here, yet again. You may lavish me with your post-summer tidings.”
“I’m going to key your fucking car.”
“I’ve missed you, too, Bea.”
