    Summary

    But, as he stretched out his hands to play the first D-flat major chord, Elio felt a pain shoot through his thumb on his right hand, sending the pain reverberating up his forearm.

    “Shit,” he said under his breath, hoping none of his classmates passing by his door would hear.

    Just stretch it out, and try again. He thought to himself. And he did.

    Summary

    This is the story of that kid from elementary school that Elio met fifteen years later at a seedy gay bar on the outskirts of Rome. More than that, though, it's the story of Elio, seven-eight years after Oliver. More than anything, it's the story of Elio after everything.

    Summary

    Oliver is still not quite sure what had made him come here tonight, whether it was a feeling of nostalgia, or a misplaced sense of hope to somehow pick up where they had left off all those years ago.

    Summary

    Oliver is a soon-to-be professor for Archeology. On his trip to the Mediterranean Sea in the summer of 1983 he just wanted to research about the myths of ancient times. Not in his wildest imagination had he believed to find himself drowned into a dreamlike world, enchanted by a beautiful siren called Elio.

    Elio is held captive in the mystique world of Circe.
    Centuries passed and not a single soul withstood the dread of his songs. But when a young archeologist dives into the depths of Elio´s cavern, their worlds collide.

    Can Oliver break the ban of the sirens?
    And will Elio find true love in a twisted time?

    Summary

    It weighs no more than the first package when Elio holds it to his chest. It weighs a thousand pounds when he tears the paper down the middle and a letter card falls out.

    "The lead singer killed himself a few years ago. He was the first person I ever knew who died, though I didn't really know him. Music has a way of doing that; making you feel like you're creating a family from loose sheets of lyric paper. For a long time, it was the only thing that felt real. It was the first tape I ever loved. It belongs to you.

    Oliver."

    Summary

    On a July evening in 1954, Elio Perlman sets down a kerosene lamp in the spare room of his family’s beach bungalow in Montauk. Everything is ready for when the train will bring in their summer guest. Will this Oliver from Chicago, an aspiring photographer, get bored in the simple fishing village that is so close to Manhattan but has none of its lures? After all, all they ever do here is read, write, and go clamming. Oh, and swim naked.

    “Do you think one could be happy here?” He glanced back at me and I didn’t know where the question had come from, but it felt like a morsel of something I’d wanted when I’d brought him out here. I nodded, then again. “Yes.”

    Summary

    The concert may have been one night only. But the relationship it rekindled might just last the rest of their lives. These are snapshots of the Lives of Elio and Oliver from that night forward.

    This is a collection of one shots based off of the universe of my other fic, One Night Only. Read that one first, or things might not always make a ton of sense.

    On a (possibly permanent) hiatus starting... now.
