  2. Summary

    "This ruined puzzle is beige / With the pieces all face down /So the placing goes slowly / The picture's of anything other than it's meant to be

    But the hours, they creep / Patterns repeat / Don't be concerned / You know I'll be fine on my own / I never said, "Don't go."

    I've written a note / It's pressed between pages / That you've marked to find your way back / It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"

    But what if the pages stay pressed / The chapters unfinished / The story too dull to unfold? / Does he ever get the girl?

    This basement's a coffin / I'm buried alive / I'll die in here just to be safe / I'll die in here just to be safe

    'Cause you're gone / I get nothing / And you're off with / Barely a sigh / I never said, "Goodbye."

    So I've written a note / It's pressed between pages / That you've marked to find your way back / It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"

    But the hours, they creep / Patterns repeat / Don't be concerned / You know I'll be fine on my own / I never said, "Don't go."

    Don't go"

  3. Summary

    "Then came the blank years." One paragraph, we get one single paragraph in the book about the nine years Oliver and Elio didn't speak. Two years of scattered letters/calls and then nine years until Oliver visits B. and Elio's parents call him in America to tell him. I'm filling those nine years with ficlets to get over the fact that so much time passes, that so many things must happen that we just don't know.

    Summary

    “Alex?”

    Oh. Okay. Henry is a lot hotter in person. Like, way hotter. That should be illegal. He’s probably breaking the laws of physics or something. Alex is pretty sure one of Newton’s laws is along the lines of “an object cannot appear more attractive in person than in a photograph.” Yet, here Henry is, looking like a Greek god so, what does Newton know? He died a virgin, anyway.

    “Hi,” he says because apparently, Henry’s attractiveness melted his brain, and he no longer has a functioning vocabulary. How the fuck is he supposed to live with this guy? He’s going to flunk out at the end of the first semester because seeing Henry every morning will make him forget everything he has ever learned about Constitutional law. This is ridiculous. Alex isn’t even gay.


    In which Alex meets his new very attractive roommate through Reddit, downloads Grindr, and discovers some things about himself and his roommate in the process.

    Summary

    The thing is, soulmates are incredibly rare. As in, only around five percent of the population have one. So, most people get married and settle down and build lives based on regular love, shared goals and desires, and all that good stuff. Soulmates share a soulmark that burns into their skin the moment they meet. It alerts them of who the other person is and lets them know that they have found their other half. That they are one of the five percent.

    The problem with this rarity is that most people get married and start lives with people they are not destined for. This creates problems for those who meet their soulmate later in life. Which is how Alex has found himself happily married to a wonderful woman named Hannah and meeting his soulmate the moment his palm touches that of the new writer her publishing firm has just signed.

    OR

    Alex is happily married when he meets his soulmate, Henry Fox.

    Summary

    Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.

    Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.

    Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.

    Summary

    Really, it was Lena’s fault. She’d been the one to demand a video when Eddie had finally caved and sent an SOS to the group chat asking if anyone was willing to trade.

    “Is anyone interested in trading jerseys with me? Preferably for a smaller size,” Eddie had said because knowing his coworkers, one of them would’ve been a smart ass and gave him an even bigger size. “I ordered an XL because I’m usually a XL but… the way it fits makes me look like I’m fucking one of the players.”

     

    Eddie wasn't trying to go viral. He just wanted to trade his jersey. But then something called Booktok got involved.

    Summary

    He needed to breathe.

    He’d been in enough pain in his life to know that.

    So, Buck, taking all the experience of growing up alone and seeking the attention even if came at the price of a broken arm or a skinned knee did what he knew would help.

    He exhaled slowly and melted into the table.

    “Good boy,” Eddie said and all of Buck’s thoughts went silent as the buzzing that had been under his skin stopped.

    Everything stopped.

    Everything went still.

    And Buck felt real for the first time in such a long time.
