Summary
Conversations with Todd used to be long and purposeful, now they are short and filled with emptiness. The crackle of a landline, instead of the crackle of a voice.
OR; one late night when his wife is asleep, neil is missing his high school lover and they have an awkward call filled with unspoken words.

Summary
Wilson is an expert on precision but sometimes it's not really a good thing especially when someone from his past shows up, catching a glimpse of freedom he once longed for.
Will they both risk it all for some game they lost years ago or will this be something else entirely?
In other words, affairs, drunken confession, and possibly more stuff these idiots will go through.

Summary
It is quite the feeling when your (very new) best friend gets a crush, and maybe even has himself a date, without telling you first. It's a separate and wholly more intimate one when you yourself have a crush on that friend.
OR
Todd Anderson sees Neil with a girlfriend and goes (nearly) batshit crazy about it.

Summary
Love was the law and religion was taught, I'm not bought.
Todd has always been told what to believe: in God, in order, in silence. But nothing prepared him for how love would feel when it arrived like fire — in Neil’s laughter, in the quiet moments that said too much, in the forbidden thought that maybe he was never meant to live a life made of rules.
Then Neil died, and all Todd was given were "thoughts and prayers," as if faith could stitch a wound like this. He can’t pray anymore. He writes poems he’ll never read aloud. He keeps seeing Neil in the stars, in memories, in the breaths between stanzas.
This is a story about what’s left behind when the boy you love dies believing the world wouldn’t love him back.
Of guilt that feels sacrilegious.
Of grief that burns.
About a kind of love too pure for the world that condemned it.Tell me the fable where we got a happy ending. Please.
