    Summary

    After his first year at UCLA, Wilson is going back to Georgetown Texas, his hometown. He is working at a boatshop for the summer, and his coworker there is no other than his childhood friend, Brando, with whom WIlson always had a strong and unique bond. When they were kids people said that they were "two ends of the same stick". While the both of them grew apart in the last few years, the circumstances of this summer lead them to being briefly in one another's life again, as old wounds reopen and a new kind of connection forms between the 2 boys...

    I want this fic to be as canon compliant ( the canon being the mv for this song, vodka cranberry and caramel music videos and some things cone mentions in his songs) as possible, so i'm trying to respect the timeline of the summer that conan has set !

    Before I start, I want to state that, while the character of Wilson is strongly inspired by what -as a conehead- i know of conan gray's life, this is by no means a conan gray fanfiction. It is a fic about the characters of brando and wilson, which conan introduced in the music video for this song. Just wanted to clarify that :)

    This will be kind of a long fic, I plan to update it like twice a week :)

    Summary

    Wilson and Brando spend years circling each other: best friends, almost something more, then nothing at all.

    Whenever one of them reaches out, the other is already fading back. Brando finds his courage just as Wilson begins to heal, and Wilson steps toward him only when Brando has retreated into a safer life.

    College and adulthood brings new cities, new people, new chances to move on, and yet they keep finding each other at the wrong time.

    Their story is a quiet ache, a half-cold coffee in a sunlit kitchen, a lingering hope that maybe someday their timing will finally be right.

    Summary

    Six months after the birth of their beautiful daughter, Sadie, the idyllic life Wilson and Brando built is cracking under the pressure. While Brando has seamlessly slipped into the role of a confident, hands-on father, Wilson is silently drowning in the relentless demands of new parenthood, overwhelmed and feeling like he's defeated by the new asset in their life.

    Tangled up in the new baby, looking for a new house and Wilson dealing with the loss of his sister, they've hardly found time for themselves as more obstacles seemed to fall in the way of their closeness like their careers and milestones. They thought this'd be all they'd ever wanted, but they've never felt so apart with no idea how to fix it.

    A story about love, loss, and letting yourseld be cared for by the people that love you.

    Summary

    Summer 1995. Every year, Wilson Favre trades his home in suburban Texas for the salt marshes of Brittany, France, where he spends his days sketching birds and helping his grandfather harvest salt. But this summer, the quiet rhythm of the seaside is broken: a Hollywood hotel tycoon arrives with plans to build along the coastline, leaving the village uneasy. As the only fluent English speaker in town, Wilson is pulled into the commotion when he’s asked to help the businessman’s son, Brando, learn to sail.

    Brando Anderson is everything Wilson isn’t: dashing, dazzling, the kind of boy everyone on the beach seems to orbit—be it giddy towngirls gazing from afar or sturdy surfers clamoring for his handshakes. Wilson, used to living on the margins, knows he shouldn’t hope for more. Yet, as the summer heatens, the boys grow closer, choosing to bask in each other’s blinding light—regardless of the possibly imminent sunburn.

    Summary

    The Thornfield's and the Scott's have always been close, ever since Mary Thornfield met Laura Scott back in high school all those years ago. However, their sons, Wilson Thornfield and Brando Scott, never seemed to get along.

    Wilson always found Brando to be loud and obnoxious.
    Brando always found Wilson to be too quiet and snarky.

    And every year, like clockwork, both families go to the woods for their yearly Christmas getaway.
    One week, one lodge, two families.

    Brando and Wilson usually have an unspoken truth to stay out of each other's way.

    However, on the night that the adults go out to town for their annual night out, a snowstorm hits, preventing them from driving back. Cutting out the phone signals. Locking the boys inside.
    Together.
    With no technology.

    And secrets begin to unravel, truths get brought to life, and the hatred that guarded the boys slowly began to melt in front of the flickering flames.

    Summary

    Settling into their new home should feel like a fresh start, but Wilson and Brando quickly learn that love doesn’t pause just because life gets bigger.
    With Brando filming on location and Wilson diving into a new album, the distance between them becomes more than miles. Wilson’s new found peace gets tested when he befriends Lola — a sharp, talented musician fighting a lawsuit that drags him into the spotlight in ways he didn’t expect. Meanwhile Brando battles old habits, new pressure, and the secret fear that being publicly himself could cost him everything he’s built.

    As wedding plans tangle with career chaos, rumors in the press force Brando to face truths he’s run from, and Wilson begins to question how much weight two people are supposed to carry alone. Brando and Wilson will have to decide what their future actually looks like — and what they’re willing to risk to get there.

    A story about love under pressure, found family, and the courage to build a life together when the world keeps trying to rewrite the script.

    Summary

    "a wishbone never breaks even"
    -----------------------------
    Sometimes I just want to be a bird in the sky.
    Free.
    Singing everyday. Birds don’t have a care in the world.
    But most of all, flying.
    I can’t imagine what it feels like. The exhilaration as you soar through the air, dipping and diving, the air rushing past your wings, ruffling your feathers.
    I’m sticking my head out the car window, the wind whipping my hair everywhere, relishing the cool air hitting against my face. This is the only thing close to actual flying that I enjoy. In planes or helicopters, I’m trapped in a small space, nowhere to go, as imprisoned as a bird in a cage.
    I usually feel like a bird in a cage.
    Brando’s sitting beside me, driving, smiling at me like I’m something precious. I’m used to people looking at me weirdly– expecting it, in fact. But Brando doesn’t do that. He doesn’t say anything mean when I’m talking about things I enjoy, like birds or flying. He doesn’t laugh when I say I can get drunk on only one vodka cranberry.
    Sometimes I feel like he’s my only real friend in this cruel universe. It’s just us two against the entire world.

    Summary

    This is the second work in a series!

    The summer after graduation hums with heat and quiet possibility. Long drives through the backroads, lazy afternoons by the lake, and the soft sound of someone's laughter carried on warm wind. Brando's learning what it means to have something you're still too scared to name, while Wilson's learning that love can be both a comfort and a risk. There are wishes hanging from rearview mirrors, secrets kept behind half-smiles, and moments that feel like they might never end. Until they do.

    Because summer is going to end eventually and with it every stable thing they've ever had gets flung into uncertainty.

    Will everything that they are be enough to save them from what is to come?
