    Summary

    Confirmation bias: the human tendency to search for, interpret, and recall information that aligns with our existing beliefs, while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them.

    No matter what Grace tries to tell him, Simon is very sure that the man is divine in nature. It just makes sense.

    ~~~

    Simon winds up in The Enclosure, naturally. Grace is super down to have human company on planet Erid, but he really wishes someone would have given him a little bit of warning first. Especially about Simon’s religious cult upbringing — if he had known about that, he maybe could have planned a better-worded greeting that wasn’t basically, “Be Not Afraid.” He really set them up for failure with that one.

    Summary

    Summary

    Coming out as gay had been supposed to be the easy part.

    He wanted to date. He really did.

    Just… not people he knew.

    Which sounded weird, even inside his own head.

    But the truth was, Luca couldn’t remember ever looking at someone in his real life and feeling that spark people always talked about. That moment where attraction, which was already hard for him, shifted into something deeper. Something that made you want to lean closer instead of pulling away.

    or

    Luca doesn’t feel the spark. He never has. It’s not that he is incapable of loving. He loves so much and so fiercely. Just the romantic and sexual part of love can be… hard for him.

    Ilya and Shane don’t know anything about the worries that keep him up at night, but they took him in nonetheless, aware that he needs someone to look after him, while missing his family so much it’s killing him.

    Enter Elijah Young.

    (Summary changed on 16.3 cause the first one sucked.)
