Summary
“I don’t have anything, if that’s what you’re looking for,” Theo says. “I’m clean.”
“So am I. Remember how I said? Can stop anytime, no problem?” Boris raises his hands, palms towards Theo, fourteen years old again, free-handed on the BMX down the slope of Desert End Road, Look, Potter! No hands! “See? Clean. Boom, like that.”(Two years after Amsterdam Boris shows up on Theo’s doorstep in New York and he hasn’t had a hit in twenty-four hours.)

A more realistic depiction of withdrawal in that it's fucking gross, but it has a sweet end (little to close to hlme with the withdrawal tho....)

Summary
Several years after Amsterdam, Hobie is woken up in the middle of the night by Theo stumbling home with his friend Boris. A snapshot of their relationship from Hobie's POV.
"Hobie watched, somewhat in shock, as Theo, who in general eschewed any forms of physical affection, particularly he’d noted, with other men, leaned in close to Boris, the two of them sharing a long moment of eye contact, Theo looking grave and Boris faintly amused, before Theo sighed and lay his head down to rest on Boris’s shoulder."

"Boris." He whimpered uselessly. Boris said nothing. Theo couldn't see him.
"I gotta piss." He said softer, his face reddening at the embarrassment of saying it out loud.
Boris laughed.

Summary
“Boris,” Theo says without thinking, “do people think we’re dating?”
“Sure,” Boris replies, “happens all the time. Probably because we’re both gay. Anyway, do you want vanilla ice cream to go on top?”
Or: Boris “fuck-me pumps” Palikovsky and Theodore “gay and homophobic” Decker realize that, as the two worst people on the planet, they’re pretty much made for each other.

Summary
y did you do that, he types out to Boris, meaning why did you kiss me and why are you reminding me about it, why aren’t we ignoring it like usual, then deletes it and slams back the rest of his drink with extreme prejudice so he doesn’t have to remember what his best friend tasted like. He tasted good. Fuck.
thx 4 the tix, he texts, frowning hard.
💋, Boris replies.
Theo just about throws his phone at the wall.

Summary
Blisters have begun to form on my hand from gripping the bag's strap too tightly. The sign is in gold, just four steps in front of me. The hard part should be over- leaving my father, taking the bus, finding my way here- but the stairs leading to the golden letters seem impossible to climb. The concrete below my feet has a magnetic pull, dragging me down into the earth.
What is he doing in there, so close I feel I’m breathing again into his neck? He could be having a nice night with the old man, one I will undoubtedly ruin. Or perhaps he’s miserable, and the sight of me will set him over the edge. I still see the most likely outcome being the painting promptly ripped out of my hands and a door slamming in my face. I gnaw at my thumbnail, my leg trembling, wanting to bounce up and down in my shoe. Just go in. Just go in.
Quickly, so I don’t have time to stop myself, I run up the steps and start rapping at the door.

Summary
He is sitting on my bed, the one that used to be Welty’s, looking oddly small and young amid the tangle of cigarette-scented sheets. His black coat still hangs off his thin shoulders, and his heavy, European-looking work boots tap in time against the scuffed wood floor. It makes my chest ache indistinctly. I want him to take them off, to lay down here with his bare feet and torn skate shirt, go right back into talking shit and rolling blunts as if we were 16 in Vegas again.

Summary
“And how did you come across a particularly sloppy Renoir reproduction?” Theo can’t help but ask as Boris gestures at the bartender for another two shots and smirks when Theo says reproduction. Even if Boris struck Theo as the art type, a fake Renoir is not the sphere of work that Theo could imagine Boris’ collection to be.
Boris ticks a thumbnail against the side of his glass pensively. “Friend of friend gave it to me. A gift of sorts. One of my associates suggested I get it looked at by professional.”
“And you found me,” Theo finishes for him.
Boris holds his hands out, palms up, and replies, “Small world, no?”
[Or art restoration expert Theo Decker finds himself slowly pulled into the high risk/high reward world of art forgery at the hands of his old classmate, Boris Pavlikovsky.]

Summary
Boris looks no different than when Theo saw him last: same glittering black eyes, cynical twist of the mouth, hair falling in his face. In more ways than one, it feels as if the past eighteen months have been a dream, Theo only awakening now Boris is here.

Bookmark Notes:
after mrs. barbour's death, boris comes to stay with theo and kitsey. an ill-advised tryst and reflections on the past follow. an incredible read. beautifully written. so full of detail and feeling. a really pleasing complexity to the character dynamics, a kind of fumbling humanity, moments of sadness and joy and comfort. the whole narrative is shaped so masterfully around these compelling visual details - a scar, a shoe, a book, a blanket. it folds so effortlessly into canon. an absolute feast of beautiful writing. thoughtful, detailed, just an incredibly satisfying read.

Summary
You think you could chart the whole scarred expanse of him: dime-shaped black mark above his collar bone, birth mark. Neat circle at the crook of his left elbow, cigarette burn (his father’s). Neat circle at the top of his right calf, cigarette burn (his). Shiny-white gash inching its way from his stomach to the waistband of his underwear, appendix removal. (You’d had to call the ambulance.) There are new additions, but you’re so sure he would tell you everything about them if you asked that it already feels as though you know where he got those scars after all. He would offer you the story of his body like saying grace before supper.

Summary
“What shall we do, then?” Boris asks, a smile on his face.
“Do we have to do something?” Theo asks. He smiles in return— more muted, uneasy.
The streets only get busier when the holidays close in. Tourists, visiting families, traveling businessmen. But the crush of bodies swarming the streets of New York doesn’t make Theo feel anonymous or invisible. There are only more people around to observe him, waiting for a slip.
“Of course,” Boris says. His smile inches further up his face, knocked crooked across his cheeks. “Would be a waste not to. Is our first Christmas back together again.”

Summary
He keeps thinking about it when he gets back to New York. Every time Kitsey tries to talk to him through increasingly strained smiles he thinks about it and his ears start burning, and he has to look away.
While Kitsey goes home and breaks the news to her mother, which Theo tries not to think about, he goes home and thinks about Boris instead. He tries not to think about Boris either, but those fragments, orange and blue, won’t leave him.
He takes pills for two, three, four days in a row, for the black and dreamless sleep they bring him.
And yet, he’s still he thinking about it three weeks later, when Boris shows up at the shop again.
