    It's not an illustration per se, merely a visualization of two characters if they were girls.

    Summary

    Playing the piano was, in origin, a way to keep out of the muck of things. Unfortunately for Scripps, the muck of things is impossible to escape.

    Summary

    ‘Do you ever wonder what you’re doing here?’ Posner asks.

    ‘At Oxford?’

    ‘Anywhere. What the point of it all is.’

    Posner feels Scripps shift beside him. ‘I don’t think anyone knows the answer to that. God would say worship. Jesus would say love.’

    ‘And what would you say?’

    Scripps falls silent as he ponders the question. Then: ‘I think it’s being with the people you care about. Finding moments of quiet. Looking for beauty.’

    Posner smiles bitterly. ‘I don’t think I could find it if I tried.’

    ~

    Posner navigates adult life and everything that comes with it, both the good and the bad. Thankfully, Scripps is there through it all, in confusingly fluctuating capacities as friend and lover.

    Rated M for some pretty heavy mental health stuff, a suicide attempt by OD (though not in graphic detail), and sexual content (again, not super graphic, but there are sex scenes). Triggers for individual chapters will be in the notes. Please be careful! This is angsty, but I swear it ends happily.

    Title is from As I Walked Out One Evening by Auden.

    Summary

    "Saturdays were never normally this relaxed. Posner was never normally so relaxed either, for that matter. But for once in his fucking life, the words for this confounded essay were flowing smoothly and he scribbled away, discovering links in his words that fit better than a hand-crafted jigsaw.

    Maybe that was just the effect Scripps had on him."

    Or: Scripps' very presence is a balm to Posner's tortured soul. Perhaps, when the need arises, he can return the favour?

    Summary

    He thought he wouldn’t sleep, but it was easy actually, deliberately not thinking about Jim’s body, about Jim’s bruised eye, about the feeling of their bodies colliding after the punch, Jim’s hands on his shoulders. Was this how it would always be, trying to find their way to each other and finding the way blocked by themselves? He'd only know with time.
