“Maybe we should wake him?” Buck suggests. “He seems, um. Distressed.”

Summary
Buck wouldn’t be making that face at Tommy, because Buck was straight. Buck was straight and Tommy was straight. Buck had been jealous of Tommy’s friendship with Eddie five minutes ago, there was no way he’d be making that face unless—
Tommy’s hand darted forward, fingertips landing in Buck’s palm, which was upturned on the table, drawing a teasing pattern against his skin. Tommy was giving Buck a look too. Slightly narrowed, intense eyes. Smirk pulling his lips up.
He was looking at Buck like a predator stalking its prey. Buck was blinking up at him through his lashes like he was happy to be hunted.
Somehow, he had convinced himself that it was him and his friendship that Buck was jealous over. That Buck was scared of losing him, and acting a little crazy about it.
He was used to Buck being a little crazy about things— so what?
It had never even crossed Eddie’s mind that he might be the obstacle Buck was trying to get rid of.
OR -
What if the still of Eddie watching Buck and Tommy's first date had actually made it to air? What if Eddie had witnessed their first date?

Summary
“Does it ever make you feel left out?” he finds himself asking when they close the ambulance doors, before he gets the chance to overthink it.
“What?”
“The whole,” he gestures vaguely, “pride thing.”
Chim levels him with a look. “Not really? Maybe on the day of the parade I might get a bit envious that they’re all having fun without me, but that’s just your regular old FOMO. Do you?”
Eddie shrugs.
“Just FOMO, too, I guess,” he lies. It’s easier than trying to explain the whole ‘drowning on the inside of his body’ thing he feels whenever someone so much as mentions it.
Chimney narrows his eyes at him, but the others are starting to wrap up the scene, so Eddie takes the chance to escape before he gets asked something he can't answer.
Or;
Whenever he hears anyone talk about their plans for pride, Eddie gets depressed. He tries to figure out why.Bookmarked by aceguy

Summary
“I— I should get out of your hair,” he says.
Eddie turns to look at him, the movement sharp. There’s a look on his face that looks like he thinks Buck might have lost his entire mind.
“Did you hit your head on something?” he asks drily, like he knows that Buck didn’t. Buck hesitates anyway.
“Uh,” he says ineloquently. “I don’t think so.”
“Then why are you saying things that don’t make any sense?”
in other words, the diaz boys take buck home with them after the tsunami.

Summary
“Dad,” Christopher says in a slow, patient tone as he rolls his chair closer to Eddie. Then, “I didn’t take that quiz for me.”
Somehow, somewhere deep in his bones, Eddie knows exactly what that means. His mouth goes dry, making his reply of, “What?” strained and hoarse.
Christopher tilts his head with a grimace; Eddie fights the bizarre urge to laugh. Christopher sighs and reaches for Eddie’s hand. Tears instantly sting Eddie’s eyes at the contact. I missed you, I missed you, I missed you.
“Dad, you know I’ll always love you no matter who you love too, right?”
Or, Christopher's grandparents find an "Am I Gay?" quiz in his search history.

Summary
“All these years, I tried to,” she says, pausing to inhale. “Set you up, and I didn’t know.”
Eddie’s stomach turns. His eyes are on the road like someone’s glued them open—he’s not blinking, and he grips the wheel a little tighter. “Didn’t, uh. Didn’t know what?”
“Aye, mi Mundo. That your heart already belonged to someone.”
...or, Eddie stops running.

Summary
Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.
But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.
Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.
Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.
Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.

Summary
“No reason,” Neil bluffs. He chews on his cheek. “I just had a question. That’s all.”
“Oh,” Todd replies, a little mumbled. He yawns. “What was it?”
Neil stares up at the ceiling. Carpe diem, and all that, he thinks. The sentiment feels a little too large to carry.
He asks, “Have you ever been in love?”Neil auditions for a play, accidentally reads a poem, and falls in love – not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“Please,” one soldier told Techno over dinner, “The Blood God isn’t going to help you. He doesn’t accept any of the blood sacrifices the generals leave for him, so either he doesn’t exist, or he thinks he’s too good for the likes of us. Either way, it’s best to find a different patron.”
Techno had punched him in the face for that. None of his other comrades ever brought up the Blood God again.
Well, except for one.
“You follow the Blood God?” the new kid said, staring up at Techno with unbelievably blue eyes.
“Yeah,” Techno replied, perhaps a bit gruffer than he meant to, “What’s it to you?”
“Nothing!” the new kid said, grinning wildly, “I love that guy. He gets all the ladies. Hey, we should be friends!”Or: Techno is the last devout follower of the Blood God. Tommy may or may not be said god.
