Summary
Sebastian remembers, in technicolor detail, the moment he first saw Alex.
Nine years old, blinking out behind his mothers back at the boy with scraped knees and empty eyes. He remembers the lake-water stillness, the quiet stretching out before him.
This is a story about trauma and healing. About the collapse of the things we thought were true and the re-making of our realities in the image of something stronger.
This is a story about falling in love.
This is a story about re-building Rome.
(Or: a jock and a goth fall in love)

Summary
Alex hates Sebastian – which is great because Sebastian more than returns the favour – and what starts out as revenge fantasy turns into unironic lust, which evolves into unrequited love. Alex gets a job, Sebastian marries the farmer, and both of them lose almost everything before finding each other again. A story of two mutual bullies who learn how to messily grow up.
