    Summary

    Scott is in a slump. He’s in a slump and it’s annoying. He’s tried everything: running extra drills; going back to basics; increasing his cardio interval training; changing the way he tapes his stick; daily affirmations; and, in desperation, following a YouTube tutorial to learn to juggle, hoping it would further hone his hand-eye coordination. (It didn’t.)

    So when he complains to Carter, and Carter says he definitely has a solution, he is ready to listen.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane have overcome one of their biggest hurdles and finally admitted to each other that they love each other. Yay! But love is an emotion nonetheless, and can bring up other, less positive ones. Ilya doesn't expect to be dealing with them after Shane says he loves him. Because that's a happy moment.

    Right?

    Summary

    He feels fizzy, fizzy, fizzy, like a soda can that’s been shaken and cracked open. There’s so much pressure building inside his chest that he can’t possibly keep it all inside. He laughs, just a quiet giggle at first, and then it becomes something louder. Something brighter. Something that bursts out of his chest and cracks through the echoing silence in the bathroom. He has to cover his mouth with his hand to stifle it.

    Shane feels happy. Truly, deep down to his bones, happy.

    He almost can’t believe it.

    (Or, the first night at the cottage.)

    Summary

    The problem was that the new object of his affection was Herbert West. Not that he was a man as Dan had had more than his share of experiences with them. Not that they were roommates and hooking up would make this awkward. No, Herbert was more likely to reject Dan outright for lack of interest in sex at all.

    And he was also the literal definition of a mad scientist, his pursuit to conquer death all consuming. Herbert simply did not have time for anything else.

    Summary

    Jim's five the first time he coughs up a flower. Years later, he'll think that it was a long time coming.

     

    For those who aren't aware (because I'm not sure how common the Hanahaki trope is): Hanahaki is a fictional disease that entails flowers blooming in a character's stomach and/or lungs as the result of unrequited love. Typically, the character either finds love that is requited or succumbs to the disease and DIES.

    This is Hanahaki with a twist.
