Summary
"Neil feels something in his chest light up. Like a firecracker or an atom bomb or something else that could self-destruct at any moment. It aches in a dangerous sort of way.
'God', Neil thinks to himself as he follows Todd into the house to help him with boxes. Why had he thought being roommates with Todd was a good idea in the first place? He’s going to suffocate on these feelings; they’re getting too wedged in his windpipe. 'God, you lovesick bastard, you’re so, so stupid.' "Or, alternatively; a modern day university AU in which Neil lets daddy issues prevent him from telling Todd how he feels, Charlie doesn’t know how to knock, Meeks and Pitts are the only characters with brain cells, and the Neil Perry Support Group is born.

Summary
“They can’t know. No one can ever know.”
Just two boys battling their inner demons, eventually finding solace in one another.
A story of the pressure of expectation, of friendships deeper than blood, and of the kind of love that saves you… just slowly.
A slow-burn fix-it fic, full of introspection and multiple POVs from friends and foe alike.
Mostly canon-compliant… until it isn’t of course.
Title from Walt Whitman’s “To You”.

Summary
“What’s he doing here?”
Todd had thought he was talking to Cameron, but Charlie, sunglasses pushed up into his auburn hair, was looking at him. The music boomed through the speakers; the room hot with sweat. Neil’s eyes were burning the side of his face.
Don’t say anything stupid, he thought.
“I carried a watermelon.”
Laughter, hilarious and wonderful. Neil held onto Charlie’s shoulder as his body shook. Eyes, coffee-warm and alight with joy, locked on Todd’s. He took a step forward, held out his hand. “Do me the honour?”
Don’t say anything stupid, Todd begged. You can’t dance.
Neil winked at him.
And Todd did not know how it happened, could not remember making the decision that his body took for him - just felt Neil's fingers wrap around his as he grasped his hand.
“Yes.”Or: Todd never goes to Welton. It's the summer of 1963 when he spends his holidays at Kellerman's and meets the boy who'll change his life.
