    Summary

    "If he really thought about it, though, losing Ronan wasn’t like losing a kidney at all. It was more like losing a lung. It was more like losing his mind. But Adam didn’t let himself think about that— he had gotten very good at compartmentalizing."

    adam copes with ronan's disappearance. featuring: a contemplative walk around a deserted college campus, daydreaming at a house party, a dorm room ritual, and lots of repressed emotion.

    Summary

    Post war, Lance struggles. He struggles with his career, his relationships, his overall self-fulfillment. Let’s be honest: not really news. Lance is the king of struggling; he’s mastered self-doubt backwards and sideways and in six different galaxies. There’s just one thing that comes easily for Lance: arguing with Keith.

    When they reconnect after a year apart, Lance finds that his perspective on his oft-combative, always awkward, mullet having teammate has shifted. He questions their relationship. Their history. Himself. Luckily, if you have questions, there’s always one place that has the answer—

    Especially if that question is ‘Am I the Asshole?’

    Summary

    It felt irresponsible to leave.

     

     

    He had willed the thought away, and breathed in the sleep-sweat of Ronan’s neck instead. He thought about the scratch of Ronan’s jaw, and the soft fury of his mouth. He thought about how far into the drive his first exit would be. He thought about Opal, who had hidden herself in the enthusiastic buttonbush that grew alongside the house; she had taken to crouching there whenever it looked like Adam and Ronan were doing things related to Leaving, and had gnawed an entire branch clean. She watched them as they swayed and whispered, and Adam had thought she would stay in the bush and not come see him at all, but he was wrong: at the last minute she had been unable to stand it, and had burst out to wrap herself around his legs.

    It was impossible to leave them.

    He had gotten in the car.

    Adam leaves for college, and realizes he has no idea what comes next.
