Summary
“I'm gay.”
He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.
But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.
He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.
in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.

Summary
eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.
except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.
it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.
meanwhile, the world goes on.
(or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

Summary
There’s silence. A period of mourning for what the night could have been.
And then, Patrick says simply, “I’d do it.”
Art frowns, not following, and turns his head to look at him.
Patrick looks back, the picture of innocence, and slowly shifts his gaze from Art’s face to his hips and back again.
Oh.
Art chokes on air, splutters out a disbelieving laugh.
“You’d suck my dick?” He asks, incredulous.
Patrick shrugs. “Already had your tongue down my throat, how different could your dick be?”
-
The one where Art reveals he's never had a blowjob before, and Patrick jumps at the chance to change that.

Summary
“Have you read this?”
Tashi doesn’t raise a brow but she does level him with a look. The look says that if she wanted to exert more than an iota of effort into this conversation, she would raise a brow. “Did you buy,” she drawls, still tapping out a rhythm on her laptop, “a teen magazine?”
“It’s GQ,” Art says. There’s a beat. “Tashi.”

'I fucking want him,' Patrick snaps at Tashi. 'That's it, okay? I always have. You two ruined me for anyone else and then you let him put a ring on your finger.'
