    Summary

    It’s like they’re enjoying some fantastic beginners luck, but they don’t actually know how the game is played...

    Revised relationships come from the settling dust of unmaking, and Ronan and Adam try to find a balance between grief and joy, love and sex, friendship and occasional hand kissing. They navigate first times and promises and a feeling like magic - even when they're forest-less and wide awake.

    (Pre-epilogue)

    Summary

    The boy who worked the graveyard shift at Brazenhead Books was bird-thin, and pale, and kind of scowl-y. He was always reading enormous dry texts with titles like Tort Law and Alternatives and Intro to Comparative Constitutional Law. He drawled like Matthew McConaughey and the hair just above his right ear never lay flat.

    Ronan was probably in love.

    Summary

    Adam felt sleep try to reach him again. This time its grasp was firmer, persuasive, a black canvas with a carousel of illogical images dancing in muted colors to stun him, until he felt them pick up the pace and swirl faster, and while he was following them, they spiraled into so many wheels. Wheels and wheels and wheels, rotating fast, unstoppable, the word “tamquam” burned on their rims, millions of them in all sizes and shapes and ages, and suddenly pulsating underneath them, the unbearable thought jolting him alert: We haven't even kissed yet.

    -

    Or, Ronan and Adam in the days after the near-apocalypse, cutting themselves on each other and learning how to fit together again.
