____________________________________
He couldn't let it go on like this. It was brutal. It was more than brutal, it was absolute hell on earth. Mama hadn't spoken to him in... well, weeks. And Barclay hadn't spoken either--it was mutual.
Mutually assured destruction.
But they kept exchanging glances. They would lock eyes and then quickly look away, pretending nothing had happened. One thing was clear--each was waiting for the other to approach. Neither could stand the silence. But they both thought that silence was what the other wanted. At least, that's what Barclay had gathered. And he hoped that his assumption was correct, because he currently stood outside Mama's office, waiting for her to come to the door. He had decided to take the first step.
He was going to repair their friendship, if it was the last thing he did.
The others at the lodge still didn't know the truth about what was going on. Aubrey suspected something was up, and she had asked Barclay multiple times, but he just avoided the question. Everyone had noticed that Barclay and Mama weren't talking, but no one knew why. They had their theories, but many were surprisingly off base.
Mama opened the door, eyes widening at the sight of Barclay in the doorway. She looked tired, she'd been losing sleep--probably because the full moon was just around the corner and they had no leads on the abomination. She stiffened, standing up straighter. "Can I help you with something, Barclay?"
"I think it's time we talk." Barclay didn't ask for entry into her office, he just went inside, slipping past her easily. He wasn't going to let her get away. Not this time. Not after everything they had been through together.
Mama closed the door, clearing her throat. She didn't look at him, instead facing to the side of her office and choosing a stagnant section of wall to stare intensely at. "So talk."
Barclay sighed, running his fingers through his hair. "Mama, I-God, I hate this. The not talking. I know I messed up but I never expected--I never wanted my relationship to come between us, you have to know that."
"I do know that, Barclay." Mama slumped slightly and turned, finally facing him. "And I... I know I messed up too. I shouldn't have gotten so upset. I was just," she pulled her hair over her shoulder and pulled at the ends, "I was scared. For my friends. For the lodge. For you..."
"I know. I didn't mean to put you in that position--but I did, and I'm sorry. But Joe--Agent Stern is a good man. By now I think he's proven that, right? He hasn't told a soul, and he's even respected the privacy of everyone here--he hasn't asked me anything about the lodge or other Sylvins or even about Sylvain in general. He's waiting until you are all ready to let him in." Barclay stepped forward, pleading with Mama. He needed her to understand.
Mama laughed slightly, but it was a sad, forced laughter. Bitter and strained. Like she was laughing at herself. "Yeah, I noticed when the FBI didn't come pounding down our door that... I was wrong about him. About you and him. About everything. And for that, Barclay, I am truly sorry." Mama stepped forward as well, and she held out her arms. "I just... fuck, I want to hug and make up already. Can we?"
Barclay smiled and pulled Mama close. "All is forgiven."
Mama wrapped her arms around Barclay with some difficulty, and there was no mistaking that the hug was awkward and strained from the sheer difference in height, but it was perfect.
"I missed this." Barclay breathed.
"This?"
"Us."
Mama smiled and nodded. "I did too."
Stern got up from the couch with a start as Barclay opened the door to what was now effectively their apartment. He held a bottle in each hand and had a crazed expression on his face. His hair was standing in several directions, as he had clearly been running his fingers through his hair repeatedly with worry. "Did it go ok? I have Champagne for yes and whiskey for no. I'm prepared either way." Stern held up the bottles helplessly, and Barclay couldn't help but laugh.
He tried to hide the smile on his face, but couldn't. "Break out that Champagne."
Stern visibly relaxed as he set down the bottle of whiskey and walked up to Barclay, giving his boyfriend a large hug. "I'm so happy to hear that. I know how much Mama means to you."
"I'm glad you're glad because she wants to talk to you. About, well... lots of things. Maybe a healthy dose of threatening. Make sure you keep my secret and all that." Barclay kissed the top of Stern's head.
"Whatever helps her sleep at night. Although I really won't tell. I'm not stupid." He looked up at Barclay. "Does this mean I'll finally be let in the loop?"
Barclay shrugged. "Its not not on the table."
Stern grinned. "Good enough for me!"
"But I won't promise anything." Barclay ran his fingers through Stern's hair in an attempt to fix where it was sticking out.
Stern shrugged. "That's fine. I wasn't expecting them to trust me right away. I figured I had some groveling to do first."
"Groveling?"
"Oh, trust me, I'm fully prepared to grovel. On my knees and everything."
Barclay laughed. "I don't think Mama wants that. Just a simple oath will do the trick."
Stern rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine. I'll take an oath. Because this is the 1400s."
Barclay pulled away from the hug. "You know what I mean," he noted playfully.
"Yes, yes. I will promise to Mama that I won't say a word. So, when should I be expecting this chat?"
"Dinner. Tomorrow night. Expect all of my friends to be listening in but pretending not to."
Stern's lips pulled into a grin and he nodded. "You got it."

I want to see Barclay turn into Bigfoot, and when Stern walks into the kitchen, Barclay goes “I’m a furry that’s why I’m wearing this suit haha” as a last minute attempt and Stern has to accept his boyfriend’s weird habit even though he’s not a fan.
Barclay has to deal with everyone including Mama making fun of him for a month before he loses it.

Summary: Barclay and Stern go on a trip to the Bigfoot Capital of California 
Author's note: I’m obsessed with Sternclay at the moment. 
Link to AO3 
____________________________________
“Alright, back up, back up. Just a little more. Perfect!” Barclay snapped the picture as Stern grinned for the camera, posing with a statue of--you guessed it--Bigfoot. 
“Barclay, come over here! You should take a picture too!” 
Barclay laughed as Stern tugged on his arm, bringing him close to the statue. “Why? I hardly need a picture with myself.” 
“It’s for the memory! Besides, wouldn’t it be a great picture? Bigfoot with Bigfoot!” Stern motioned to the statue, grinning all the while. “It will be perfect for the scrapbook I’m making.”
“Shh, not so loud, Love,” Barclay teased, poking Stern on the nose. He blinked. “Wait, did you say you’re making a scrapbook?” 
Stern shrugged and held his phone up high, snapping a picture of the two of them. “That’s right. I wanted something to remember this trip by, so…” 
Barclay chuckled. “Why not just make a photo album?” 
Stern rolled his eyes. “That’s no fun.”
Barclay shook his head. “I can’t believe you.” He wore a light-hearted smile, and chuckled softly at his boyfriend. Ridiculous as always, this one. 
Stern grabbed Barclay’s wrist and pulled him toward the museum. “Come on! Let’s go inside!” There was a glimmer in Stern’s eyes--an excitement that was easy to place. After all, they had come all the way out to California for this place. It was Stern’s way of “getting to know” Barclay’s past or something--which was silly because Stern could always just ask. 
“You know most of the stuff in there is totally fake.” Barclay trailed behind Stern, playing the skeptic. Although it was true. A lot of the things in the various Bigfoot museums were not real pieces of “evidence.” Maybe a couple of the footprints, a hair sample or two at most… But those were hard to get. 
The couple entered the museum, greeted by an old woman who smiled and welcomed them in. She stared up at Barclay for a moment in awe--but Barclay was used to that, due to his size even in his human form. 
“Ooh, Barclay, look at this!” Stern tugged on Barclay’s arm, pulling him over to some supposed casts of Bigfoot’s feet. “You think these are real?” There it was again--that childlike excitement. 
Barclay shrugged. He knew Stern was asking seriously, but he didn’t want to draw too much attention. “Who knows.” 
“Oh, those are real. They were taken right here in Six Rivers National Forest. It’s said he lives up there. People come from all around to find him.” The old woman from the front desk suddenly popped up behind them, causing Barclay to jump slightly in surprise. 
Barclay shifted awkwardly. Well, at least people were way off about where he lived. What would they say if they knew Bigfoot was a cook in a small town in West Virginia?
Stern’s eyes sparkled, and his attention was fully on the lady in front of them. “You don’t say? How many people go out there, would you say?” 
“Oh, I couldn’t tell you. But there are quite a few who go hunting in those woods.” She turned her attention to the casts Stern and Barclay had been looking at. “It’s said that his feet are at least 14 inches long.” 
“Hmmm I’d say it’s more like 17,” Stern noted absentmindedly. 
Barclay shot Stern a look, but it was lost on the man who was too busy being hunched over the display case, inspecting the “artifact” in front of him. God, Barclay was dating a huge nerd, wasn’t he? 
The woman looked up at Stern in shock. “Have you seen other evidence?” 
Stern looked at the woman, shocked at first, then realized he was probably being very suspicious. “Oh, no, I was just guessing. Those are some big feet.” He said, motioning to the casts. “So, you hear any good stories about Sasquatches in these parts?” 
A master at deflecting. Barclay expected nothing less from his FBI honey. He smiled and shook his head. Well, at least his identity was safe. For now. 
The woman launched into a long, detailed account about some little kid who was saved by a “big hairy man” in the forest, and all the while Stern was glancing at Barclay like ‘was this you? Did you really do this?’ which Barclay had no answer to. Hell if he could remember. He wasn’t all that careful back that, but it sounded like something he might do. After about an hour in the museum with Stern pulling Barclay around asking about the authenticity of different pieces of evidence, the two left for their motel. Bigfoot motel. It was almost a little embarrassing. Barclay wasn’t sure he liked being the center of attention like that.
“So, who’s next on your list? Mothman? Should we pay him a visit?”
Stern laughed. “Don’t be ridiculous. At least Bigfoot has actual evidence.” 
Barclay pursed his lips and walked forward, hands in his pockets, and said nothing. 
Stern blinked. “Wait, Barclay, is Mothman real.”
Barclay walked forward, still not saying anything. 
Stern ran to catch up to Barclay, an edge to his voice that couldn’t quite be placed. “Is Mothman real? Barclay! Hey!”
