    Summary

    When Kevin Price started university, there were three things he was absolutely certain about:
    1. He'd get his degree in Economics and get a well-paying job in Sales, so he could buy a nice big house and settle down.
    2. After university he'd find himself a wife to go live in said house and start a family with.
    3. Kevin knows his place in the world.

    After getting roped into a Shakespeare play by his best friend and two overly enthusiastic theater kids, there are three things that Kevin is not certain about in the slightest:
    1. Is becoming a Salesman just because his dad always told him he's good at telling people what they want to hear really the only way forward?
    2. Why is he so sure he'd suddenly become interested in girls when he never was before?
    3. Kevin knows jack-shit about fuck-all. He's a boy playing a girl playing a boy, who is starting to have feelings for another boy, and who might be a little more comfortable with the whole "gender is performance" thing than he ever thought possible.

    Summary

    Nosocomephobia
    nos·o·co·me·pho·bia
    Intense fear of hospitals

    In weeks to come, Connor would never know how he managed to get changed, scrub most of the make-up off his face and not have a complete breakdown in the cab on the way to the hospital. It was very rare that he thought about anything other than Kevin these days, but he couldn’t help but replay the last week in his head, because it felt like he had been getting better. He hadn’t missed a day of work in weeks, he’d been going to college and therapy and laughing and smiling and he hadn’t had a breakdown during sex for at least a month.

    Just that morning, he’d made Connor breakfast in bed and kissed him that little bit longer before he’d left for work. In hindsight, that had just been his goodbye.

    Summary

    On February 21st, 1943, after over 24 hours of labor and the near death of both mother and child, Marvin is born at 1:21:34 AM. He is small and struggles to breathe and the nurse tasked with caring for him prays he’ll make it through the night.

    There’s water in his lungs, you see, fluid he has to hack out to survive. Officially, Marvin starts to breathe without problem on Tuesday afternoon, beginning to cry and not refraining save when he passes out for short, fitful rests.

    Really, he never stops coughing, never stops drowning. The fluid in his lungs is slowly killing him from the day he is born, but Marvin doesn’t die here. Not yet.

    First, he grows up.
