    Summary

    After discovering that the Takada abduction was a trap designed to get them killed, Mello and Matt fake their deaths and flee to a tropical island under the deeply unfortunate aliases Clive Bananas and Percival Mango.

    Near thinks he has removed two dangerous variables from the Kira case.

    Unfortunately for him, the variables are alive, sunburned, armed with hotel Wi-Fi, and assisted by a violent goat.

    Summary

    Matt takes Mello to a cold, empty beach the day before Takada’s abduction.

    What starts as a detour becomes a conversation they have avoided for years: God, guilt, survival, love, and whether something can still matter when there may not be an after.

    Summary

    Mello blowing himself up and losing half his face wasn’t even the stupidest thing he’d ever done. You’d think he and Matt were trying to outdo each other, given how often they nearly killed themselves.

    It started pretty early; they didn’t wait until they were brainless teenagers to risk their lives on bets and shenanigans.

    Summary

    Matt owns Doctor Rock, the best independent vinyl record store in late 80’s London. He has extensive knowledge of what he sells—everything, really, even if his preference is 70’s music. He’s passionate, nerdy and couldn’t dream of a better place to be than behind his counter or scouring garage sales for gems that will end up either in his personal collection or on a shelf in his store. He’s got some regulars, and he feels happy every time a newcomer becomes one.

    Mello might become one of those, as he steps into the store for the first time and leaves with a few records Matt recommended and a crush on the owner. He’ll come back for sure, maybe not just for the music, especially since he’s a metalhead and a pure product of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, and he knows nothing about 70’s music. But he’s ready to pretend…

    I've been approached by a (legit) publisher to turn it into a novel, and will be doing that.
    I apologise to my readers for the abrupt stop, but I'll keep you informed about this, if it comes to fruition 🙂

    Summary

    The prize: Mello, singer and guitarist of Mind Pollution, the million-dollar rock star who sells out arenas, tops charts, and leaves fans screaming and swooning.

    The contestants: nineteen hopeful guys and one Matt, who mostly came for the paycheck.

    It’s reality TV. It’s supposed to be fake. But things are about to get very real.

    Summary

    Mello wasn’t simply hot; he looked like the kind of fire I’d repeatedly roast myself with even after getting third-degree burns. With a smile.

    He needed to get it off. The leather, I mean. I was pretty sure at that point that Mello naked was still better for my sanity than the hell his new clothing tastes were putting me through. Mission: get the leather out of the picture.

    Summary

    Mello took a moment to register the smell slowly reaching his nostrils as the elevator's small size concentrated it around him and Halle once the doors slid closed. Mello took a deep breath through his nose, realising it came from Lidner’s clothes. He turned to her, her alarmed expression giving her away as she realised that Mello had put two and two together. Mello's mind went, in exactly four seconds, from being reminded of Matt's cigarette smell to understanding that the bitch's face could only mean one thing.

    The air was knocked out of her lungs when Mello threw her violently against the cubicle's wall.

    “WHERE IS HE?” Mello snarled, twisting her arm and making her cry in pain.

    Halle knew better than to deny. But that didn't mean she would give in so easily. “He doesn't want to see you.”

    ———

    Near entertains the lie, keeping Matt working for him with the belief that Mello died after abducting Takada. Mello, a shadow of himself, thinks that Matt died that same day, shot multiple times. A drunken decision and Mello suddenly takes revenge on Near just to numb the pain... and finds Matt in a condition he didn't expect.

    Summary

    “I hope you’re not… recoiling, Mello.” Matt’s voice is low and breathy, and Mello shivers. Matt knows Mello is already on edge, but he takes it slow. Excruciatingly slow. Mello’s in a moment of love-hate excitement, when lust is strong enough to take over play, but he doesn’t want to give in. Not now. The night is barely starting, and they won’t misfire.

    It’s more than mere interest Mello has in guns. It’s a twisted fascination, a kink, and it’s all too easy for Matt to use it to his advantage. Mello’s willing to share his passion, and Matt is game for the terminology that will bring Mello to his knees. Mouth open.

    In which Mello and Matt use a corny gun-related sex talk, because it gets Mello hot and bothered.

    Summary

    Matt is a dorky photographer, relentlessly trying to crack this blond model’s irascible surface with his silly jokes. Still, Mello pushes him away so nastily every time that Matt starts to wonder what lies behind the attitude.

    Especially since the lens reveals more than meets the eye, and Matt begins to see the light through the cracks. Matt’s sincerity and simple take on life might be precisely what Mello needs to reconnect with his humanity.

    Summary

    "Promise me, Mihael, if we get separated, we'll find each other no matter what," I whispered, idly grazing the strings of my guitar.

    "If I can't find you, then you'll have to become a freaking rockstar and be on every music channel, so there's no way I don't find you, Mail," Mihael replied, and I knew that behind the apparent joke, there was a promise.

    I didn't need to see his face to know he was dead serious. I just wish it hadn't been a prediction of our future...

    Best thing I have ever read.
    Great character development, even the side characters are good. They carry the story forward without taking the spotlight; this is peak storytelling. There is love, humor, grief; my heart keeps breaking then being mended, only to swell and break again.
    The story is beautiful, believable, and THIS IS A FUCKING FIVE STARS NOVEL!!!

    Summary

    The guy has the nerve to call him, not allowing the customary wait before Mello skates back in black leather Richelieus to his table. The marble floor doesn’t squeak once under his soles. He doesn’t even care to speak English and takes the order in French. The redhead doesn’t flinch, and he has a smirk that Mello would love to rip off his lips and feed him for lunch, with a side of French fries, of course.

    Mello is a very, very French waiter at Café de Flore, Paris. Pissed, with a sharp tongue, and no patience for that British redheaded tourist who’s eyeing him like he’s on the menu.

    Summary

    And there he was, pressing the accelerator, with Takada in the back of the truck. It was now only a matter of minutes, or maybe seconds, before he joined Matt, and that was probably the moment he would pray the hardest for something to exist after life, so that he might be granted eternity with his love.

    Mello reflects on Matt's death, from the moment the love of his life dies under bullets, to his own death by heart attack.

    Summary

    And the aftertaste is bitter, yet so sickeningly sweet. It has nothing to do with Mello's chocolate addiction. It's just that Matt feels simultaneously happy like he's never been before, and so sad he could cry. He realises this aftertaste will stay forever now. But forever is exactly one hundred forty-six minutes long, and he swallows back his tears.

    Matt gets a taste of Mello's love, and decides to fail the plan, because he wants more. He wants to live. And Mello does too.

    And it's you at the end of the line, with open arms — all at once the beginning and the end, the departure and the arrival, running to meet me even though I feel you are firmly anchored to the ground. All at once, the barrier before the cliff and the rock tumbling, causing me to fall; but you fall with me, slowing the fall, halting the fall, until we reach home, until you hit home.

    Summary

    "Hey, Mister Obata!" the small creature called out, jumping out of the case the artist had just drawn, and standing on the desk. Takeshi's eyes opened wide. This couldn't be real; he had probably fallen asleep while working, and he was overdoing it lately—damn schedule and deadlines.

    But the tiny person looked at him with pleading blue eyes, despair and pain reflecting in them.

    "Mello! You took him away from me! Why did you leave me behind?" The sobs were heartbreaking, and Takeshi suddenly felt a lump form in his throat.
    __________

    Weird story where Takeshi Obata meets his characters and fixes a terrible mistake.
