Summary
“Oliver,” Felix called, watching him bite his bottom lip, eyes dull as he mechanically cleared out an entire row of raspberry Actimals and fat-free Onkens.
Does he think I need to go on a diet? Felix thought, pinching the skin above his waistband with a frown.
“Hmm?” Oliver said absentmindedly, tossing a few Kinder Pingui bars into the basket.
“Be honest, do I look sexy in my Uggs?”

Summary
It had been a long time since your world has revolved around anyone but Felix Catton. He was like that; undeniably, unassumingly magnetic. You'd watched countless fawning, fairweather friends drawn into his orbit, only to be cast out when he eventually got bored of them, but not you, never you. Maybe you were a toy in the beginning, the thing they'd all called you when they were feeling especially petty, but it became clear that Felix has wanted to keep you around.
You weren't a toy, you weren't family, you were a sharp and beautiful tool, too good, too useful to be put down. Your loyalty was rewarded with a life in his shape. Felix was like the sun, and you lived your life enjoying his warmth, and wanting to keep him shining.
And there's something about the way Oliver Quick thinks and talks that you almost recognise. The others call him a toy but the look in his eyes says he's capable of so much more than that. Oliver Quick is not one to be tossed aside either, and you'll do all you can to make Felix see that too.
The three of you; head, heart, hand.
Oliver thinks. Felix feels. You do.

Summary
Limp in his arms in the plateau of a sunset, Felix gathers Oliver close to him, listening to the struggling beat of his heart.
It is then Felix notices, lying just centimeters away, Oliver’s phone is blinking as its power continues to drain. He sees the missed calls of authorities– Oliver must have called for help. A shuddering breath of relief escapes him. Oliver wasn’t trying to run. Oliver was trying to save them.
His brave, smart Oliver. Felix thinks, laying next to him and pulling him close to keep him warm. He kisses the top of Oliver’s head, not caring that he tastes blood in his crown, clinging to him like a lifeline to keep him there with him.
“Don’t die,” Felix begs him now, huddling their bodies together. It’s getting colder out. Even the summer’s heat cannot spare them from the evening chills.
The smoke from the car climbs higher and higher against the remaining crepuscule, soon to be swallowed whole by a starless sky.

Or, they never made it back to the birthday party, and Oliver has amnesia.

Summary
Sort of a look at the summer at Saltburn if Oliver didn't lie and scheme so much. Kind of a what-if on, “What if everyone was friends instead and no one died?”.
Title is a quote from the documentary Grey Gardens. -

Summary
Oliver Quick clearly isn't doing well. When his parents and his acquaintance (Oliver refuses to call such a menace as Michael Gavey a friend) band together to send him away to New York to get out of his funk, how does he recover?
AKA a The Devil Wears Prada AU that's way more fucked up and Saltburn-coded than you knew you needed.

A lump formed in his throat when the sign on the side of the road told him where they were going.

Oliver didn't lie about his parents, but what Felix found was much worse than Oliver let on.
