Summary
There was no life altering event causing a lapse of faith; just a slow and steady distance from Dema’s empty grace as if his bones were rejecting the idea that Clancy was someone worthy of having something to believe in. That he was somebody who deserved to hold faith in a structure that would absolve him of whatever he does wrong, over and over and over and over. And by the time he had been smeared for his third time, he knows he’s past the point of no return.
Ultimately, he thinks that’s why the Bandito rebellion doesn’t work much for him, either. There’s too much overlap between a torch and a vial; each holding a person on the other side that’s trying to offer a solace that you don’t want or deserve.
or; a salvation and a penance all found in the torchbearer

Summary
He’s not an idiot. He knew what he felt at twenty-two, and he knew at twenty-eight. He knows at thirty-six. Josh used to shake with it when he was younger; the intensity of the feeling. It was the only thing he had—pressed together in the back of a van trying to keep warm, playing shows, creating; all of those were Tyler. It all went back to him over and over again. Being in love with Tyler was crucial.
They both settled over the years; what was burning between them not necessarily dimming down, but evolving. It matured with age as they got older and found themselves building families. There will always be a part of Josh that’s twenty-three and in love with Tyler. Looking at him now still feels like looking at the sun.

Summary
Eddie loads the metaphorical gun, cocks it. “I would’ve found my way to you. That I'm even more sure of.”
Buck is burning. That’s the only way he can describe this. Eddie says something like that, and then Buck will end the call, and he’ll crawl into Eddie’s bed in Eddie’s house and stare at the patches in Eddie’s bedroom wall that he helped Eddie patch up, and he’ll pretend like this isn’t going to kill him. He’s entirely convinced he’s going to die before Eddie ever crosses the California state line again.
He digs his own grave. “You sound confident for a guy who doesn’t believe in fate.”
“Nah, it’s not fate. It’s us and pure determination.”
or: eddie moves to texas. buck moves into his place. he holds his breath for the one hundred and twenty one days it takes for eddie to make his way back home.

Summary
Alex doesn’t know if it's his tone, or something in the air, or the fact Alex is calling him when he’s just right up stairs, but he can tell Henry feels something is wrong immediately.
“Alex, what's wrong?”
He cringes, whether at himself or the pain, he’s not sure. “Okay, so don’t get mad.”
“Alex–”
“I need you to come outside.”
He can literally hear Henry’s blood pressure rise. “Why?”
“Okay, so like, I broke my arm.”
“What?!”
or; alex breaks his arm on a trampoline

Summary
Tyler looks up at him then, it’s cold out here, but their proximity to the fire has sweat dripping down Josh’s face. His beanie is off, and his curls are now so long they’re curling above his eyes. Years ago, if Josh’s hair was this length, Tyler would've done something like brush it out of his face. Even with the mix of emotions he’s feeling right now, he fights the urge.
“I’m not sorry for what I did to get you here. I mean– okay, I am sorry for that, because I know it hurt you, or it’s hurting you right now. But it was necessary. But what I am sorry for is not protecting you like I should've.”

"The bloke said something just the same as you did, about floating off unless tied down, or maybe it was the other way around, getting tied down to float off, y'know.”

Summary
For one second, John lets himself imagine it.
He’d grab – no, he’d cradle Paul’s slim fingers in his own, and pull him closer until he could feel the heat of his body. Paul would look down at him, through his infuriatingly long lashes, and his mouth would be slightly parted. Not in surprise, but with a smile. When their lips finally touch, Paul would sigh into the kiss happily.
Or: Paul is not very affectionate. John is fine with it, since they're not a couple, or anything.
