    Summary

    "Thomas!” Alexander screamed, hands reaching out for anything, anything at all to grasp onto. He felt many foreign hands doing the same and he was drowning, his mind begging Don't leave me here, don't leave me alone—

    Suddenly, fingers intertwined with his, roughly pulling him forward. Alexander’s first instinct was to fight this stranger, though he heard “Mr. Hamilton?” in that familiar, Southern drawl and was immediately put at ease. His shoulders relaxed as he came face-to-face with a very confused looking Jefferson.

    Summary

    “This is our first Christmas together as a couple—do you know how embarrassed I’m gonna be if Chandler gets me somethin’ real expensive and I gotta give him, like, an orange?” S2. Inexcusable fluff to the highest degree.

    Summary

    “Yeah right,” Joey muttered, the humor fading as quick as it came. “I’d need to learn how to kiss a guy first.”

    Chandler blinked, unsure what to do with that. His brain immediately went down the familiar sarcastic avenues, reaching for the punchline, but they all felt too sharp against the honesty in Joey’s tone. For a fleeting, ridiculous second, he wondered if Joey was hinting at something more, before immediately shutting that thought down. No way. It was Joey. Joey.

    “Okay… so?” he said finally, leaning back against the couch, trying to keep his tone light. “What do you need from me? A pep talk? Fake boyfriend résumé?” He forced a small laugh. “A mint?”

    He waited for Joey to laugh with him, to bounce the bit back, to give him that easy grin and make it safe again. But Joey didn’t. He just stood there, shifting from foot to foot, hands fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.

    The silence stretched.

    “Yeah…” Joey started, voice lower now, careful. “I was kinda hoping... you’d, you know... help me practice.”

    Summary


    “Ever since I moved in, I’ve been looking at the gentle yellow glow from your window whenever you’re up late at night. I just thought that… all this time, you’ve been staring at the green light across the bay. I never thought you’d look back and see me.”

     

    Gatsby blinked in awe at my sentiment. It was as if it had never occurred to him that he could be the light for someone; that he would be chased instead of chasing; the pursued instead of the pursuer.

    At one of Gatsby's parties, Nick drinks a little too much and goes looking for Gatsby. Nick's feelings come to the surface under the liquid courage and while Gatsby gently stops a drunk Nick from advancing, the next morning, Nick learns that his feelings weren't as one sided as he thought.

    Summary

    “Do you play?” he asked, genuine curiosity coloring his voice.

    This was where I erred. I knew full well that I understood how to play pool, albeit only through fumbling attempts in my college days, blurred by the influence of cheap booze and low lights, but nonetheless, I knew the game as much as the average man. There was no reason for me not to give him such a simple truth, but my traitorous subconscious and its fatal longing for that which I shan't easily admit in writing had different plans.

    Against my better judgment, I replied, “No, I’m afraid I haven’t.”

    When Gatsby asks if Nick knows how to play pool, Nick plays the fool in hopes that Gatsby will give him some hands-on instructions. Nick gets his wish... and more.

    Summary

    “...Jack?”

    In a way, it was painful to look at him. All that light, all those colors, that smile…could a person be radiant? Too bright, too brilliant. It was like looking at the sun, but - the sun forced his eyes away. Ralph just made him want to look longer.

    What was he wanting, right then? He wanted something so, so bad. He could feel it inside, pulling at him. What was it?

    “Jack, you can let me go now.”

    Jack started, snapped back to reality. “Oh.” He let go immediately, as if Ralph had burned him. He did feel warm, was almost certain he was blushing. He grinned again. It was unsteady this time. “Ha.”

    “Ha,” Ralph echoed.

    A conversation at sunset.

    Summary

    He thought he’d hidden these feelings from himself, stowed them away in some dark corner and learned not to think about it. But the second Eddie peeked in from around the corner at the Jade and looked at Richie with those big, limpid pools of Christmas Orphan meets Bambi, and started rambling about gluten and cashews, it all came flooding back into focus. Richie has loved Eddie so long that it’s become an ache that goes beyond reason.

    Summary

    “Hi, Pugsley. I’m—ah!”

    Eugene had barely extended his hand before he jerked it back with a sharp yelp. A stinging jolt ran up his arm, leaving his fingers tingling. It took him a second to realize what happened — Pugsley Addams had electrocuted him.

    The kid just stood there, grinning like it was the funniest thing in the world.

    “Electricity. Cool.” Eugene muttered with forced enthusiasm, rubbing his palm on his blazer as if that would erase the static buzzing in his nerves.

    Summary

    Pugsley Addams was used to being overlooked.
    In a family that celebrates the spectacularly strange, his own brand of "weird" never seemed overly abnormal.

    Eugene Ottinger was used to being ignored.
    In a school full of outcasts that praised its heroes, he still managed to be the boy no one noticed.

    Thrown together by dares, disasters and everyday school life, the two boys stumble into something neither expected:
    Friendship, Bravery, and maybe even the kind of closeness that makes being overlooked and ignored feel a little less lonely.

    or

    In a world that forgets the quiet ones, two boys find something loud enough to matter.

    "He deserved the world, Jay did. He deserved much more than an average bondsman. Nick supposed that conviction was part of what kept his fingers on these keys; Jay should know what kind of man he was so he could be rid of him once and for all.

    “In truth, I do not know how to phrase this in a way you will find acceptable. There are many words for men like me. The kindest, perhaps, is homosexual.”"

    Nick writes Jay a letter. Jay, in turn, reads it, and comes to Nick's doorstep with a few quick questions.
