Summary
Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.
But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.
Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.
Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.
Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.

Summary
“‘Course I’m okay.” Neil smiled peculiarly. “Tonight’s the night.”
“What night?”
He laughed, staring absurdly. “The play. The play is tonight.”
“It is?”
“What’s gotten into you, Todd?” He felt along his forehead for a fever he wouldn’t find.
Todd swallowed and started to bring himself off the floor. “Just had a weird dream, I guess.”OR my timeloop fic where Todd gets stuck reliving the night of the play until he can save Neil

Summary
Magnus and Alex decide to go to a pool in Hotel Valhalla (where the einherji swim to the death, of course). On the way, Alex has a lot of thoughts and feelings about her boyfriend.
Short excerpt: "The way Magnus was looking at her, a bit shy with a light blush on his cheeks, was such a stark contrast to the guy from before who had called her a freak, that it made Alex‘ heart do a small leap in her chest."

Summary
He was trying to hold back the rest of his tears, but it didn’t stop the snot he had running down his nose. As gross as Magnus should look, he still looks ethereal, just broken and beaten. Alex hates it. Hates seeing him like this. Hates that it was all caused by him.
