Summary
eyes drawn one way, memory another
Sometimes you look next to you, and you see red before you see Reki. It’s those moments that you hate most: the steady drip of reminiscing, the flash of panic before your head stills at the reminder that nothing could have happened. You’re still in school. Nobody is injured here, least of all him. Least of all you. Your head clings to the truth with stubborn fingers made white with tension, but your heart (silly, fearful thing that it is) fears anticipatorily.

Summary
Langa thinks it’s strange, sometimes, that he doesn’t dream. He knows that he can, it’s just not a frequent thing, and sometimes he wakes up with impressions and fleeting thoughts, but not the full experience, not a world to leave behind.
Reki dreams, though. Reki dreams about skateboarding, and girls, and the end of the world probably. Reki dreams in bursts. Reki dreams about Langa.

Summary
They are not made for each other in the traditional sense, what they had been before and what they are now don't fit enough to make it worth it. They end the way they start, with only the ocean to bear witness.
(they are creatures of habit and habits are hard to break).-

Summary
“I can already hear you getting tired, man,” Reki replies as something rustles on the other end of the line—a blanket by the sound of it—and Langa imagines Reki crawling into bed, probably propped up against the wall because it’s way too early for him to even consider sleep yet.
Not Langa, though, he can already feel sleep coming for him, just like Reki said. Barreling toward him like a high-speed train, sped up by the warm, cozy blankets wrapped around his body.
Not yet, he thinks, willing his eyes to stay open just a little bit longer. Not yet.

Or: Langa tries to stay awake until midnight to wish Reki a happy birthday.

Summary
“Reki—“ Langa’s just about to share the joke when he realises Reki isn’t facing him or the video.
“And I said I had my first kiss then, too?” the other boy says, staring at his shoes, kicking a rock.
“Yes.”
“What if I said that was a lie?”
Langa thinks about it for a minute, what if, what if. “I’d believe you.”

Summary
It's been a year since Prince Langa smiled. The queen offers a reward to anyone who can fix that. Reki would give it a try, but he's pretty sure being the one who broke the prince's heart disqualifies him.
“You’ve been quiet. Are you jealous?”
Reki lurches up. “Jealous of what?”
Miya’s brow angles impossibly higher. “Of all the attention the prince is getting?”
Right, of course. That’s what anyone would be jealous over. “I just don’t believe it. Prince Langa isn’t…” he waves one hand, frowning, “...like that.”
“Ha,” Miya crows. “Like you’d know.”
But he does. And Reki thinks: I could do it. I could make him smile. I’ve done it before.

Bookmark Notes:
i still have to get around to their other works, but i can’t NOT take a step back to simply admire this one.
this authors writing style is a mastery of pacing and conclusiveness. and i think it may be one of my favorites altogether. it’s the type of writing style that makes you feel *whole* after reading it.
aside from how natural the character dynamics feel, from hilarious banter, to deep talks that are subtle in their delivery, dialogue that is striking, insecurities that are so present and normal it aches, there is a blunt, weighted feel to it that is so so nice. just the punctual voice of it. simplicity in speaking tags and incredibly precise use of action tags. conclusiveness in how the characters navigate through each emotion, something derivable from each reaction, from every statement.
and as for the mastery of pacing itself, i think i have yet to see a style that flows so well as this one???? god because not only is there a flow and such a nice one at that, but there’s no drag or rush. literally everything about it feels *just right* i swear to god it was like in perfect tempo with my own anticipation, the writing itself having absolute control over my reactions like the author just *knows*. and despite how jittery and excited i was while reading i didn’t feel the need to skip ahead like i sometimes can’t help from doing because i was so so immersed in the story??? and invested in every single word too!! i just couldnt look away!!!
AND THEN as for the fic itself- my heart strings were pulled in every which direction omg.
ALSO BONUS FOR REKI’S CHARACTERIZATION. JUST. YES. SO SO GOOD. there’s a very very specific reki characterization that i love but cannot describe for the life of me and this contains it so i was on top of the world while reading this.

gosh. this author’s writing is so soft and radiates comfort. and this series is one of the first renga works i ever read since getting into the fandom. way to put the bar in the sky.
with every story you can see just how much renga care for each other, how easily they fit into each other’s lives, how they can always rely on one another when they’re struggling. and it’s the little ways they comforted and understood each other that melted my heart, the blunt and repeated thoughts and worries that were so incredibly realistic. this is truly hurt/comfort for the soul.

Summary
Now that he was paying attention, Reki realized that he’d been selfish his whole life. He prayed—late at night, after everyone else had gone to bed—that it wasn’t too late to fix things.
