Summary
This was it. This was the moment he was dreading for ever since Ruben Pallister moved in with them a few years ago. The moment where he sets Ruben off, and he gets beaten to death for it. He tried his hardest never to make it to this point, to be someone Ruben liked — maybe even someone important to him — and yet here he is.
or
what if Alby succeeded in outing Niall to Ruben?

Summary
Ruben had been the one providing for him all along?
In 1999, Niall finds out that Ruben is out of prison. And not only that, he’s been the one lending him the money all along, unbeknownst to him. Refusing to live in his brother’s shadow, Niall decides he can’t go on like this. He’s going to pay Ruben back. He’s going to be free of his monster’s shackles once and for all. But it's hard to do when Ruben's past self still haunts him.
Or: Niall tries very hard to let go. He can't.

Summary
What if things had gone in a way where Niall and Ruben, instead of being brothers, were forced to play the role of each other’s husbands?
The death of Niall and Ruben was only one of the hundreds of endings Niall had written for the moment he would face Ruben again, after confessing the truth to him in prison.
Now, a year has passed since Ruben was released, and fate places Ruben and Niall in each other’s path once
more.

I know it’s not right—
to spend a lifetime trying to change those who’ve been broken.
And yet, somewhere in the depths of me, I longed for it to be possible.
I longed to find a single point of light in the darkness of someone’s heart and shape it. Even though it’s no one’s right to dedicate their life to making another better… still…
Here, I wanted to write about two men with shattered souls, and everything that passed between them.
These writings are for those who have wished, that life could have taken a different path.-
