Summary
“Todd,” said Neil, ever the persistent one, “when are you going to write more poetry?” He tilted his head to the side, eyes quizzical.
“I don’t know. When I find the words,” said Todd.
“You have the words already!” Neil protested. “You just need something to write about.”
“Like what?”
Another moment of quiet, another laser-bright stare from Neil, as if he were trying to beam an answer directly into Todd’s mind.
He eventually seemed to give up on that, and so he said, “I guess… nature. Childhood. Society.” A pause. “Love.”

whoever you are holding me now in hand by celestial_kitty

Summary
Neil Perry was six years old the first time he felt the sting of his father’s cruel words seep like poison into his skin. In a local supermarket in the small town of Wilmington, Vermont that the Perrys called home, the neatly stacked apples on the quaint wooden display were fresh and crisp.
“Rose, what are you doing still holding his hand in public like that? He’s in the first grade now, he ought to start to become more independent. Boys don’t hold their mother’s hands at this age,” he sneered.☆☽☆
Todd Anderson knew all about shame. If there was one feeling that always returned to him like home, year after year as he got older, it was shame. Shame for feeling different. Shame for hardly being able to get a sentence out without stuttering. Shame for being inferior, inferior to Jeffrey.
A mostly canon-compliant DPS story, following the major events of the movie, but focusing more on the inner thoughts of characters (mostly Neil and Todd). Focuses on Neil and Todd's relationship, Todd's issues with anxiety, Neil's issues with depression and not being able to follow his own path.

Summary
Todd is stranger to the churn that crashes around his stomach, tearing down his walls and clawing its way to his heart, whenever he looks at Neil Perry. He simply can't help but allow a small smile to tug at his lips whenever his hand rests his hand on his shoulder for a moment too long.
He is unaware as to what to label his feelings, but, after all, as far as he is concerned, he has all the time in the world to sort it out...right?

Summary
Even at that small age, he knew what his family was like. Learning how to dream himself into different worlds, lives, bodies, how to perfect the art of escapism was the only thing easing the pain of near abandonment.
Or
"What's wrong? What happened?" He asks, voice sleep addled. Later, much later, this is the moment where his life splits up into Before and After.

Summary
Todd wasn't very openly affectionate. Nor was he used to it.
So inturn of not being used to affection, he didn't know how to exactly handle it either.
Which turns out to be a big problem if you're friends with Neil Perry.
