    Summary

    A pining Trevor is pretty good at hiding his feelings. He has been for years, it's just easier that way; but one day at a lonely strike after another failed performance, an insecure Chris asks too many questions and feelings spill over. Trevor's strange symptoms grow worse over the course of their next show, while the two men try to navigate the new underlying rockyness to their relationship.
    ..."He thinks too much. That’s his affliction. He thinks and sketches and dreams and plans and every so often everything he thought about so hard crashes down onto his head and nearly breaks his neck. It takes a lot out of him, every time they fail. That’s why I try so hard to keep things going, even as they crumble, even as they implode- the show always reaches curtain call."...

    Summary

    “All right, Chris?” Trevor said quietly, keeping going with the circles. Chris’s hands were soft in his, a little warmer now than they had been before.

    It took a second for Chris to register that Trevor was speaking to him. He blinked his eyes open, slowly, like a cat waking up from a long nap. “All right,” he said at last, the softest Trevor had ever heard him talk. His eyes had gone vague, staring at their interlocked hands. There was a half-sliver of a fond smile on his face.

    It was then, and only then, that Trevor finally realized: he recognized that look and that tone of voice and that smile.

    He didn’t really have the luxury of fully processing the concept that he had just (accidentally) (platonically) dommed his boss, ex-flatmate, and current crush object effectively enough that Chris was visibly out of it from having his wrists tied. From the looks of it, you’d think hardly anyone ever touched Chris kindly, or told him that he was doing a good job—

    Oh. Yeah. Christ. That made sense, then.
    ***
    In which Trevor accidentally doms Chris, and everything spirals from there.

    Summary

    Ed, with his bare feet and windswept hair and free spirit and saltwater crystals clinging to his skin. He says things, uncustomary things, that Stede’s mother would faint at the sound of. He’s different from anyone Stede has ever spent time with--he dances under streetlights when he’s had too much rum, he smokes funny cigarettes that make him go all flushed and affectionate and giggly, he has homemade tattoos and the most beautiful mind. Not to mention his eyes, brown and doe-like with twinkling stars sprinkled in them, with which he looks at Stede like he’s someone of importance.

    Summary

    Tony-winning director Edward Teach is tired of the grind of commercial theatre.

    So when an unknown actor named Stede Bonnet buys an abandoned theatre in Brooklyn and founds The Revenge Theatre Collective, with the claim that he’ll bring a new musical to Broadway within the next year, the temptation to escape boredom is too good to resist.

    Things do not go as planned.

    Summary

    Tim’s jaw tenses and there’s fire in his eyes as he slams his hand down on the table. “I’ll have you fucking know, I already have a goddamn boyfriend and if I wanted to go camp in Arizona for a week I would do it with him. Frankly, I find you borderline repulsive. The only reason I came here today is because-” he clamps his jaw shut tight and Jason feels something slimy inside of himself.

    -

    Jason Todd has been in love with Roy Harper since he was a kid. They never dated, not technically, and now Roy is getting married. Jason hasn't seen Tim Drake in about four years and yet when he lies about having a new boytoy, Tim's name is the first to come to his mind. Now they're stuck pretending to like each other on a camping trip straight from Hell.
