Summary
So fine, maybe she lied. Maybe Gee’s not into Pencey as much as she’s into Frankie instead. Maybe the first time she went to see them she hung creepily by the bar with her jaw on the floor, wondering if it was normal to feel butterflies flying so low, or if it was possible to have a heart attack just from awe.
Or, gee is a bit of a mess, but frankie’s into it anyway

“There. Starting now, 3 out of 5 days a week you come here, you make dinner and then you go home. 500 a day, plus whatever you were getting for the pool cleaning.”
Gerard thinks his jaw drops. “What?”
or, all Gerard planned on doing this summer was cleaning pools, somewhere along the way things change

Summary
(Of course, that high goes away later that night. When Terry comes home and Mickey realises it’s really difficult to get eyeliner off completely. He gets knocked around a bit because guys don’t wear makeup. And he doesn’t touch the eyeliner again.)
He doesn’t stop going to gigs though. Cheap ones. And from there it all seems to spiral.
or, mickey's into punk music and ian's the best person he's ever met

Summary
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,” Frank mutters. He can feel the crucifix burning against his chest. “I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in.”
He can feel those eyes on him.
“Matthew 25:35.”

Summary
Because it’s wrong and it’s dangerous, and messing with guys on the DL has always been his MO but this is different. This is having hot, crazy sex with a guy that’s got to clamp a hand over his mouth. Being all too careful not to leave marks just in case someone else can see. And Mickey feels bad. He has to feel bad.
But he’s been fucking his sister’s boyfriend for well over six months now, and he can’t seem to get himself to stop.

Summary
But there’s something in him, something being cradled by that hand on the side of his face, that’s simmering slightly. Curtis has green eyes. Familiar and green and looking straight at him. Their legs are pressed together because they’re sitting slightly too close. And he’s warm. In a sterile fucking room, he’s far too warm.
Just like that, Mickey’s kissing him.
or, doing porn isn't that bad when there's a cute guy there too

Summary
Maybe it’s his fault. He’s the one that punched a guard straight in the face the moment they brought him in. But in his defence, if someone’s going to force him out of his cell and hurry him into a shuttle, just to tell him he’s got to get on a spaceship, then yeah he’s going to lash out.

Summary
It feels tingly—shotgunning, for the first time. Like their lips can part and the high he’s getting is only second to the feeling of lips ghosting over his own. Breath melding, noses close to knocking at the side.
It’s going breathless and not being quite sure how to deal with it. Because he’s not a teenager, he doesn’t lose himself just because a guy wants to be this close. But then Ian’s kissing him, and those stupid thoughts all shut up.
or, they're older and they're stable and yet sometimes, mickey still finds it hard to ask for what he wants

Summary
Aeons for his eyes to focus. Years before his torch settles. But he stops and he stares and–
Oh.
Oh.
Because outside of his house, slipping through the night, wreaking havoc and then rummaging through his bins, is not an animal at all. It’s a man. A very human-looking man.
Or, taking in the guy stealing from his garden is the stupidest thing ian’s ever done

Summary
It’s anticlimactic, really.
But after a week of watching this guy, watching him upload every 2 days, jerking off to him like he’s addicted. He wonders if he can ever go back to normal. It’s a vice.
Still, whatever. It’s not like he’ll meet the guy. He’s allowed his addictions.
or, ian's an idiot, and mickey kind of likes that

Summary
“Yeah,” Mickey asks, just as slow, as quiet. “What did you lie about?”
It could be anything. Something private, something old. He turns his head to watch the breath that fans over Ian’s lips. Sees him sitting there, like a statue, marbled and cold. And he wonders, just fleetingly, just for a moment, a slither of one—if even—whether or not Ian understands how pretty he is.
Or, mandy’s wedding introduces mickey to the guy he’s sure will ruin his life

Summary
She takes his gaze—studies it, notices little changes when she shouldn’t. Penelope remembers the pocket where he keeps his flask, his favourite biscuits when she pops in for tea. She learns to cherish Colin’s laugh, brazen, bold, because the one he shows to her is always different to the one he lets slip to yearning mama’s, cold Lords, and their uptight daughters.
And that is why, a year later as she stands by the hedge of the gardens, quiet as she always is, the laugh that Penelope hears tumble from her loves’ lips seems far too cruel to even be real.
or, penelope's quest to find a suitor
