    Summary

    Saying goodbye was always difficult.

    The minute Elio was in his arms, Oliver never wanted to leave him. Never wanted to leave his warmth, his smile, his love. He sure as hell didn’t deserve Elio but he would do everything he could to prove himself to the younger man, to do whatever he could to be worthy of Elio’s love.

    Sequel to: keep me by your side. You don't necessarily need to read the first series but it probably would help!

    Summary

    Oliver and Elio, between chapter 2 and the epilogue of Daring to Desire You.
    Just a few snapshots of their life together.
    I have now seen the film, so there will be more references to it than in my previous work.

    Summary

    It was night and they were lying together on the berm, listening to the sounds of the town sleep. Elio couldn’t believe how far they had come and what had happened in the space of a year. And he was happy, scared of what the future might bring, excited and so, so very happy.

    “I’ve been happy here,” Oliver echoed his old words, “I think they should be: I’m happy here, with you and wherever we go next.”

    “Wherever we go next,” Elio repeated and then they were kissing and the woodland creatures turned away for the scene was far too intimate for another’s gaze to witness.

    Summary

    Oliver woke to Elio curled up next to him.

    He smiled to himself and stroked his cheek, watching as his younger lover’s eyes fluttered and then opened. The smile that graced Elio’s face made Oliver’s heart jump. Despite morning breath, he leaned forwards and kissed Elio right on the mouth. Elio’s small moan melted against his lips and tangled his hands in Oliver’s shirt, feet wrapping their way around the older man’s.

    “You’re beautiful,” Oliver whispered against Elio’s lips, “when I went home, all I could think about was how I love these lips, love these eyes and these thick, long eyelashes. How I crave to hear your voice, talking about books or music. How I wanted to spoil you and look after you. How much I missed you. God, how I missed you.”

    Elio blushed and buried his face in Oliver’s neck, “I missed you too.”

    Summary

    Elio stood next to his father and watched as the taxi pulled up front of them. The months following Oliver had rolled on by, even his visit at Christmas, or rather, Hanukkah, seemed miles away.

    “I might be getting married in the spring.”

    “I can’t do this.”

    “I’d love nothing better than to take your clothes off and at the very least hold you. But I can’t.”

    “Then maybe you shouldn’t stay. They know about us.”

    He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

    He couldn’t do this. Not now. Not ever.

    Summary

    “Why don’t you want me?” he asked, sounding more like a whimper, tears clouding his vision again, they threatened to fall and that they did, his body shook as he forced himself to try and stand, to get away, to escape.

    “What do I do? Why does she get to have you?” Anger and sorrow all mixed into one. He tried to move, but Oliver’s arms tightened around him.

    “I do want you. I want you so much. I can’t stop loving you,” Oliver whispered, cupping Elio’s face again. “I want to kiss you and hold you. I want all of it. All of it again and more.”

    Summary

    ...down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well.

     

    Elio saw them on his walk to his first lecture of the day.

    Two young men, probably around the ages of twenty and twenty-four and suddenly he was back in Italy, back in the place he had called home for years, watching the sunset and the sky become an explosive array of purples and pinks and reds with a taller man standing beside him, smoking cigarettes, leaning against the balcony. He was back where it all began, where he’d first felt love, of a different kind, of an obsessive, all-consuming and heart-wrenching power that had taken hold of his body and mind and hadn’t let go, not even these years later.

    Summary

    His birthday celebrations came and went in a fanfare of food, presents, hugs and kisses. He had enjoyed it, there was no mistaking that but the hole in his heart made it difficult for him to really lose himself. Sure, the alcohol helped and the dancing and the singing until dawn while fireworks went off in the sky, lightening up the heavens like a messy paint pallet of watercolours, but the creeping loneliness and sorrow of losing him was still fresh in his mind.

    He was getting married.

    When Oliver had come back to visit to tell them the news, Elio had fooled himself into believing that perhaps their relationship would continue where it left off. But after that messy, desperate kiss and Oliver saying, “I can’t do this”, his heart had dropped into the depths of his stomach and the sickness he felt with every waking moment, the pain and heart wrenching awful feeling that soon Oliver would no longer – if he ever was – be his.

    Summary

    I adored this book, but the ending was very hard to digest. I have decided to write my own (happy) ending, because a love like Elio’s and Oliver’s deserves a happy ending with a vengeance.
    I have added more time-related references, but kept political ones to an absolute minimum. It’s more about music, food and the feel of the era.
    You will see that at some point the characters go to San Francisco. That part is only referred to, because I have never been there so I didn’t want to write rubbish. I also decided that Vimini should live, because I love her :)
    The story is narrated, like the novel, from Elio’s POV.
    There is quite a lot of explicit sex, but it’s loving and always consensual. If you do not enjoy M/M sex, please do not read the story (or the original book).

    Aciman is a genius and I am not, so please forgive my inadequacy. It is all intended as homage to a book I loved rather than an attempt to improve on it.

    Last but not least: I have mixed the book’s and film’s references, but I have only seen the trailer as the film is not out yet. If you have seen it, please forgive the errors. I wanted to publish my story before I could be influenced by Guadagnino’s masterpiece.
    Enjoy!

    Summary

    He writes out into the ether, going through towns and lovers like a vagrant, always looking for a hint of that breathless happiness they knew for a few short days in Rome.
