Summary
Oliver’s head falls back on a whimper - the sinewy lines of his neck temptation personified - and Elio grins roguishly as he proceeds to grind with purpose; burrowing into his clean-shaven cheek whilst trying not to spill on the spot.

Summary
“Do you have any idea?” Oliver asks then, one palm spanning bone and tendon as the other sweeps the subtle curve of Elio’s waist; summoning a trail of goosebumps en route to his tailbone. “How beautiful you are?”

Summary
Christ knows there’s no discernible logic to war. They’ve all accepted that. Every life matters, and the best a man can do is try not to brood on those they’ve lost. Yet the memory of those prisoners? Captive skeletons, in the main - nothing but skin and bones and sheer force of will beneath their ragged clothing - was completely fucking harrowing.

Summary
Lew doesn’t question it. Not anymore. Just wonders when the hummingbird-flutter at his core became love, before deciding maybe it always has been, and he was just too afraid to acknowledge it.

Summary
It’s inconceivable that it should end like this. That their bodies - having shared every intimate secret possible - will have to settle for casual acquaintance. They’re on the cusp of a potential everything, but hurtling towards an actual nothing, and as the wall clock continues to tick it's brutal countdown, Elio wants to toss it, smash it: bury it like a tell-tale heart.

Summary
What changed his mind he has no idea, and who kisses who he can’t quite tell, but Elio’s heart soars as he raises up on tiptoes, and it’s all he can do to remember to breathe as they cling to each other in the light of the setting sun.

Summary
'Every tale is a tragedy when viewed in a certain light, but these are our memories, Oliver, laid out in black and white, and should I be destined to share Maman’s fate, I’m wont to ensure that someone, someday, will remember us.'
Five years after his impromptu visit to Dartmouth University, Elio sends Oliver the journal he kept when he was the most hard-done-by teenager on earth. Will the yellowed pages shed a new light on the summer of ‘83? And in the face of such revelations, is it too late to make amends with the man who changed his life?

Summary
“There might be some trouble in paradise,” Louis admitted now to Daniel who was kind enough not to gloat about it aloud. Not that it made much difference with their telepathic connection. The sentiment came through loud and clear regardless.
“Did he cheat on your again?” Daniel asked, not mincing his words. Louis shook his head. “Made you kill someone?” Another shake of the head. “He sucks in the sack and not in the fun way?” Whatever expression passed over Louis’ face was enough for Daniel to figure it out all at once. “Ah. There is it.” He shook his head and murmured to himself, “It always starts in the bedroom.”
Or, the one in which Louis and Lestat get their groove back (aka 'the Maître incident')

Summary
Lestat waits for Louis to continue, and when he hears nothing more, realisation starts to hit.
He looks at Louis’ feet, the back of his ankles pressed against Lestat’s thigh, and places his hand on Louis’ leg, runs it down until it wraps around Louis’ ankle, gently pressing over the flesh, the pads of his fingers stroking the skin.
“Louis,” Lestat says, quietly. “You still have them.”
Or: Louis and Lestat talk about the rocks.

Summary
“That’s the thing, Louis.” Lestat offers him a small smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “I finally understand why you couldn’t love me back. It wasn’t easy to accept, but it’s time for me to be selfless and do the right thing.”
Louis can't stand the silence that follows. “What's the right thing to do, Lestat?”
“It’s time for me to let you go.”
Or: Lestat decides that it's time to part ways. Louis has a problem with that.

Summary
Louis thinks, as he looks to Lestat to find him already gazing at Louis, that the house is not the only thing that has endured damage and survived. This love that they have for one another—this irrational, doomed, feverish, beautiful love—withstood the test of time and all the tragedy that came with it.
Or: After the reunion, Louis can't let go of Lestat just yet. These are the hours that follow.

Summary
“Wait.” Louis’ hand shoots out to grab his wrist, sending a shiver down Lestat’s spine. It’s the most they’ve touched in years, and his hand clenches in anticipation as he waits for Louis to continue. “Will you tell me more about your past?”
Lestat hesitates. It’s not that he wants to hide anything from Louis, fuelling suspicions that he’s deliberately keeping things from him, but there are memories that are too painful to remember, much less to be spoken out loud. Promises made to keep his knowledge to himself lest he starts a chain reaction of devastating events.
“Please,” Louis says, and his eyes seem to beg for something. “I want to know you. All of you. Will you help me understand?”
Or: Lestat allows himself to be vulnerable. An open and honest conversation ensues.
