    Summary

    "I—no, scratch that, how—how? How are you here?"
    "I took the bus," Quinn said simply, as if he wasn't defying the laws of the universe as far as Oliver understood them. Which... okay, to be fair, he didn't really understand them all that well. Maybe that was a little concerning, considering he kind of made half of them.

    In the two years it takes for him to catch up after everything, Oliver learns a lot about waiting. He also learns a lot about Quinn, and himself, and how to keep going. It all just happens to be a little out of order.

    Summary

    Benjamin’s jaw fell at the sight of me. I swallowed.
    “Benjamin,” I nodded quietly. “Can we come in, please?”
    He was silent, but stepped aside to let us by. Everything was just as I’d left it, minus Ellie’s things. A guy with a yellow and blue raincoat sat in my old office chair. I recognized him as Oliver Todaro, Benjamin’s old high school friend. I smirked a bit. What was this, a high school reunion? His eyebrows shot up when he spotted me, but he stayed sitting. Benjamin shut the door, and I turned to him. He had an apple in his hand. I decided I just needed to say it.
    “Do you know you’re dreaming?” I asked.

    Isabelle practically ran out on Benjamin when she found out he'd cheated on her. What she hadn't considered was whether it was really him.

    Summary

    "Hi," Jasper thought, the voice bewildered even when not spoken aloud. Quinn blinked—wow, he hadn't done that in a few decades. Felt weird.
    "Hey," he replied. His voice sounded somewhat off. Maybe it was because he hadn't had a conversation since 1987. More likely had to do with the fact that this wasn't his voice. "This was not the plan."
    "There was a plan?"
    "No."
    "Oh, okay."

    Jasper finally meets his roommate.

    Summary

    “Is that just our thing now?” Oliver asks, barely holding back his laugh. “Everyone and their mom just assumes that we’re a couple?”
    “Apparently.” Jasper laughs too, out of sheer disbelief. It is a little funny how many times it’s happened. Though, and he won’t say this out loud, it’s a little confusing why.

    Or: five times people thought Jasper and Oliver were dating, and one time they actually were.

    Summary

    It's hard to run away. It's hard to do anything, really, when your mom controls the whole world.

    Or, "She told me to leave and never come back, so I found someone who gave me a way out." A glance at how Quinn found that someone.

    Summary

    "I've never had a sleepover."
    Jasper keeps his eyes to the screen, running his hands up and down the worn fabric of the quilt, its star pattern slightly faded over the years. His lips quirk up into a smile. "You probably already knew that," he realizes, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. "Which Jasper fact is that one?"

    There's a lot that Jasper wants to say, even though he won't. There's a lot that Jasper wants. It's easier to watch Lumbersweats with Quinn, instead.
    (Plenty of things are easier with Quinn around.)

    Batman drawings, red crayons, and conundrums. It's a very eventful morning for Oliver in second grade.
    Oh, and Isabelle. There's also Isabelle. Hard to forget about that part.

    Summary

    "Did you know that 41% of marriages end in divorce?"
    Ryan kept his eyes on the TV screen as he wondered, not for the first time, what the fuck his brother was talking about.
    "So?"

    A glance at Ryan and Alex, before James.

    Summary

    "Do you ever miss it?"
    "Kind of. I don't know." A beat passes. You find yourself speaking again, unprompted. "I think I just miss being normal."
    “No one is normal.”
    “Other people are normal. Trust me, I know.”
    “And you miss that? Normal people?”
    It's a loaded question. You try to imagine a world where you could have both.

    New friend, same brother, strange dreams. Elliot's very abnormal summer before his (delayed) senior year.

    Summary

    There's a tentative new normal, almost, with what they're doing. Benjamin would call it good, or even nice, if it wasn't still an objectively, stupidly, terrible idea. He should make more of an effort to stop this before it blows up in both of their faces. He should have a sliver of self-control so that this doesn't go too far. There's a lot of things he should do. None of them include Quinn climbing onto his lap and Benjamin pulling him closer. He does it anyway.

    Or, Quinn and Benjamin find a creative solution to their fighting.

    Summary

    “Wanting sex doesn’t make you a creep,” Quinn says slowly. “I think wanting sex is a pretty base level thing, honestly.”

    For all of Benjamin’s unwillingness to get to this point, he answers back swiftly. “I know that. But I kind of made up everyone here? And I know that’s really…shallow and that they’re all real full-fledged people with their own internal lives and dreams and none of them know that about me and they can consent without it being coercion, but it stresses me out anyway. It makes me feel weird and I can’t stop myself from thinking I dreamt you anytime anything starts happening, and it’s a bit of a mood killer.”

    “You didn’t dream me.”

     

    or: Benjamin and Quinn start sleeping together. Neither of them expect what it does to them.

    Summary

    I literally just shifted the Whole Foods conversation to where they're eating pizza. It amused me to do it, and the Whole Foods pizza really is a spiritual experience.
