Wade Wilson is a mess. Between a failing career, a midlife crisis, and a therapist who smells too much like lavender, he's barely holding it together. But when Logan - a powerhouse of distilled rage and Adamantium - finds himself crashed on Wade's couch, the "mess" becomes a goddamn catastrophe.
For three weeks, it's a domestic war zone of broken furniture, failed job hunts, and enough sexual tension to jump-start a dead universe. Wade wants to talk; Logan wants to drink until he forgets Wade exists. Wade wants to be close; Logan wants to put three claws through Wade's ribs just to get some personal space.
But when a moment of raw, brutal violence in the kitchen spirals into a kiss that tastes like copper and desperation, the game changes. Logan flees, retreating into his own silence and a prehistoric flip-phone, while Wade keeps the light on, one obnoxious text at a time.
"Love Is a Four-Letter Word (And So Is Fuck)" is a slow-burn, high-velocity exploration of two broken men who don't know how to be "okay." It's a story of the annoying devotion meeting the lethal resistance. It's about the messy, bloody, and beautiful reality of falling for the one person who hates you as much as you hate yourself.
[PG18, strong language, alcohol, sex, violence, and terrible, very terrible humour]
