Summary
What do you think when you see Scott Smajor?
Strangers would see a pretty face. A charming smile and twinkling eyes, perfect hair, and the charisma to match it. It would be no surprise that he was voted "most likely to be a model" in high school.
Those who had seen him perform would look at him and remember talent. Talent too good for a community theater, even if it had the best department in the entire sprawling city. Or maybe they wouldn't see Scott, but rather one of the roles he had played and given so much life to.
His fellow classmates would recall his wit and social intelligence. The top psychology undergraduate in the school, full of potential. His silver tongue that could talk him in and out of every situation, the way he always knew what to do, the way he can stare you down and seem to read your soul.
His friends would look at him and think of his kindness. The way he would drop everything in a moment, the way he would sacrifice his happiness for their own. They would remember their past experiences with him fondly, and look forward to more to come.
When Scott Smajor looks in the mirror, all he can think about is how much he hates the person he sees.

Summary
“They can’t know. No one can ever know.”
Just two boys battling their inner demons, eventually finding solace in one another.
A story of the pressure of expectation, of friendships deeper than blood, and of the kind of love that saves you… just slowly.
A slow-burn fix-it fic, full of introspection and multiple POVs from friends and foe alike.
Mostly canon-compliant… until it isn’t of course.
Title from Walt Whitman’s “To You”.

Summary
Whispers from students are heard, cheers in their subpar ranks, in the knowledge that they’d at least reached their half-baked goals. Rin isn’t like that; if he cannot be first, then why celebrate meaningless things? If he is not the best, then there is no cause for excitement, no reason to be gratified in his minor achievements.
There will always be someone ahead of you, someone you have to destroy, someone you have to prove yourself to.
Or: This is the unravelling of Rin Itoshi in a high school academic setting

Summary
Main series completed, now mainly extra post-story fics :)
~
The Codfather’s loose shirt is gone now, and while Scott certainly hadn’t expected that level of muscle definition, that isn’t what he’s focused on. Jimmy’s torso is littered with scars. They’re all over, some large and others tiny, some an aged white and others a shiny red. He gapes at them, confused—what had happened? Is the sea really that dangerous? He knows Jimmy’s clumsy, does it justify this?
“What happened to you?” he blurts out, and Jimmy turns to him, face a picture of confusion, before his eyes follow Scott’s gaze. Comprehension dawns and his face closes off.
“You know how it is,” he says coolly, and Scott is pretty sure he does not, in fact, know how it is.
