    Summary

    It was the toothbrush that did it, placed in the little fish holder Elio’s mother had given him during of their trips back to Italy. The two toothbrushes sat right next to each other, carelessly tossed there the night before, as if they were not now going to cause Oliver to shake right out of his skin at the sight of them. It was a metaphor, it had to be, the two pieces of plastic resting together, a cosmic sign of cohabitation.

    Summary

    Oliver browses through the options for summer internships at his professor’s office. One particular listing catches his attention.

    The boy was smack in the middle of the picture, the center of attention. An only child. Could be entitled. Bratty. Insufferable. And yet—

    Summary

    A year after getting back together, Oliver takes Elio to Paris for Valentine’s Day. The main draw of the visit is the new set of Renoirs that Elio’s favorite museum has acquired, but they also run into a surprise face: Michel.

    Elio and I exchanged a look. A world in his eyes, all mine. It told me that any ruffling of feathers in the middle of the Monets was unnecessary, because I’d already won the prize before the game had even begun.

    Summary

    Fifteen years later, Elio and Oliver end up having an affair.

    ”I’m dating a harpist,” Elio says, smoking by the Roman balcony with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
    “You are?” Oliver asks from the bed and tucks his arms leisurely under the pillow. He’s stretching on top of the mussed-up sheets, naked and sated.

    Summary

    Elio could barely finish his sentence, that Oliver had already crushed their mouths together.

    He cupped Elio’s cheek, pushed him back a little more to make sure he was hidden from view. He kissed him, deep.

    “Oliver..”

    “I don’t want to stand in that room and watch pictures of that creep.” Oliver kissed him again. He pulled him to himself. “I’d much rather do this.”

    Summary

    “Now, listen,” he said, looking up at his older lover with his best come hither expression. Half-leaning on top of him, Oliver rolled his eyes teasingly. “Right. Your rules.”

    Elio nodded. “My rules. No touching me.”

    “You’re asking to tie my hands to the bed. There’s not much risk of me touching you that way. Not that I’m happy about it.”

    Summary

    It’s not Elio’s fault that he has so much pent up anxiety. He’s always bouncing or moving in some way like a restless puppy with endless energy. Except it's really because he's so nervous all the damn time.

    Oliver hates it. Hates that Elio is anxious and hates that he draws so much attention to his hands. Whether he’s tapping them on the table or chewing his nails, sometimes he picks at his skin, or just shakes his wrists, he draws too much attention to his hands.

    What's worse is how Oliver keeps thinking about grabbing onto them.

    Summary

    Fifty miles, that’s how much the distance is between them. Elio has measured it in the map of the area that he received in his orientation package. Fifty miles. An easy day trip, if he had a car or if Oliver had any idea that Elio lived there.

    Little glimpses of the in-between years and of Oliver’s return to Italy. Meanders alongside canon, crossing paths with it at certain points and diverging from it at others.

    Summary

    Elio has a residence playing piano at a luxury hotel in Paris and one night, in the middle of his Bach, a familiar face walks in.

    I have to keep myself from rushing through my set. I make my fingers stay on the keys even though they yearn to wrap around your nape and to press along your jaw. They want to lace between yours and pull you out of this room, out of this shiny hotel and into the Parisian night.

    Summary

    What if Elio had accepted the dinner invite to Oliver’s house in New Hampshire?

    Eight chapters, eight narrators, one happy ending.

    The lace curtains stenciled patterns on the wall as Micol took a discreet peek at the scene outside. She stilled, ice water freezing her veins. The guest that had charmed her all evening with his music and the sparkling conversation, was now caressing the jaw of her husband and Oliver did nothing to stop him.

    Summary

    It's day five and Elio is only a kid.

    They barely talk anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem, Oliver thinks.

    I'd like to try and draw your face
    But it's like pulling a sword out of a stone
    I'd like to try and live in your eyes
    And dream until we get tired

    Summary

    "I was thinking," Elio sighed, making himself more comfortable in the crook of Oliver's arm. “I was thinking that we could go have a picnic tomorrow.”

    “A picnic?”

    “Yeah, by the berm. Would you like that?”

    Summary

    “What are you doing?”

    “Having fun? What do you mean!” He shrugged “You seem to forget I'm a teenager, Oliver.”

    “Sai esattamente cosa intendo Elio, smettila.” You know exactly what I mean Elio, stop it. Oliver grabbed the collar of Elio’s shirt and pulled him in and whispered in his ear. Which caused Elio to spring back and look around and make sure nobody else saw this situation that was going on between the two. Thank god nobody was staring.

    “You’re gonna get us caught.” He stumbled back and tried to get away from Oliver, grabbing another drink off the table nearby to Oliver. “Oliver, you can’t be jealous. We aren't together.”

    Oliver groaned. “Go back to flirting with your men, El.”
