    Summary

    The 20-60-20 rule in photography, popularized by photographer Paul Nicklen, is a time-management strategy for photo sessions designed to ensure technical success while fostering creativity. It involves spending 20% of the time getting "safe" shots, 60% creating experimental images, and the final 20% taking high-risk, creative, or "magical" shots.

     

    Or, their progression through each stage, and how it's okay to break the rules.

    Summary

    "He's mine," is what he says, voice whiny and pathetic and eyes full of sorrow as they move to Nick. Matt's his. Nick's his. They're not meant to smell like anything besides the nest that Chris makes in their bed every night. They're not meant to smell like strangers.

    Summary

    “What are you doing?”

    Nick waits a full thirty seconds for a response.

    Nothing.

    “Matt?” he pushes.

    Still nothing.

    Leaning out of Matt’s room, Nick calls out, “What’s wrong with him?”

    Within a few seconds, Chris slips into view, hand stuffed into a bag of chips and eyes annoyed. “Nesting,” he answers with a huff.

    Summary

    “Fuck me,” Nick murmurs, arching up until their bodies align. Matt rocks down lazily, grip on his thigh tightening for a brief second before slipping up under his knee to coax it high over his hip. “Please?” he whines when the boy doesn’t respond. He’s aching for it, to feel Matt sink into him. Has been all night.

    Groaning quietly, Matt rises enough that their lips break apart. “You sure?”

    Nick scowls. “I wouldn’t ask if—”

    Matt huffs a laugh, shaking his head as he cuts him off with a kiss. “Just checking. You don’t usually let me,” he reminds, and while true, it does little to dim Nick’s irritation, at least until the boy adds, “But I will. Fuck, don’t even have to ask, Nick.”

    Summary

    “Look, can’t you just show me?”

    Matt raised an eyebrow. “Show you how? Do you want me to kiss you to demonstrate how it’s done?” He said sarcastically.

    “Actually, that’s not a bad idea,” Nick said thoughtfully.

    Matt blanched. "I was joking!"

    After a disastrous first kiss with his boyfriend, Nick went to Matt and begged his brother to teach him how to kiss. Although initially reluctant, Matt eventually caved and agreed to help Nick on the condition that they never spoke of it afterward.

    “Do you regret it?” It was a quiet, unsure question. The most serious Chris has sounded in ages.

    “What are you talking about?” Matt asked, rubbing his eyes.

    “Don’t play dumb Matt. You know what I am talking about.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t quick. It wasn’t innocent. It was deep, slow, deliberate. Chris felt the heat of Matt’s palms pressing into his skin, the way his fingers curled just slightly, grounding him, like he wanted to feel him. He felt Matt’s lips moving against his, soft but firm, coaxing him, pushing further. His tongue—fuck, his tongue—brushed against his, tasting like beer and something inherently Matt, something Chris had only imagined in his worst, most secret moments.

    Five moments. Five times Matt could’ve stopped it, could’ve questioned it, could’ve told himself it was all in his head. Five times where Chris pushed just a little further, blurred the boundaries just a little more, until the space between them barely existed. Until Matt exploded.

    The thin, almost imperceptible lines between needing love and being in love with someone, someone you can't love freely. It’s the quiet tension that lingers in the heart, a feeling that exists in the space between desire and impossibility.

    Summary

    Nick knows his brothers support him wholeheartedly. There's not a homophobic bone in Matt or Chris' body. He knows this.

    But sometimes, Nick is reminded that as loving and caring as they are, there are just some things that they'll never understand.

    It's not their fault—Nick would never expect them to have the radar he does for detecting hatred. He had to develop it as a survival skill. Had to make sure he could sus out a homophobe without ever asking any direct questions. They didn't.

    But fuck, is it hard being the only one who sees some things.

    Or:

    Nick deals with casual homophobia. His brothers learn a thing or two.

    Summary

    “Matt, fuck. Fuck this whole thing. You think I’m not comfortable with you? You’d be the first person I would tell this to, if only this wasn’t about—”

    A pause. A shaking pause. Their eyes locked, and their hearts sank.

    Matt breathed in, “Chris, I think I deserve an explanation, if this is about… me.”

    Chris gulped. God, it was audible, and his Adams’s apple went up and down in a second.

    “It’s about us.” he admitted, weakly.
