    Summary

    What if Basil had encountered Dorian some years before he was set to go to Paris? What if there was the potential for reconciliation?
    --
    Warm fingers, calloused and strong, found Dorian’s forearm. They brushed only briefly—they would not dare do more. For a moment, for just a moment, Dorian felt a decade of carefully curated insouciance tremor.

    Summary

    Basil has been in love with Dorian since they met. So when the boy starts to question himself, Basil takes his hand and leads the way. Dorian can't help but wonder what his own attraction to the artist implies and takes his curiosity with innocent means, ones that push Basil to do the unthinkable.

    Summary

    My life will never evade the novelty which he brought me. Every poem ought to be about him. Every novel should tell of his kindness. I would write them all. An ignorant child, blinded by unwarranted affection for a poor boy who wanted to be an artist.
