    Summary

    The first time Alec sees a pride parade, he doesn’t know what it is.

    It isn’t the big NYC Pride March; it’s a small parade. Or, at least, Alec will eventually realize it’s small for New York. 

    He never finds out whether the march is completely impromptu or a gathering of a few different neighborhoods or even something else entirely, but on a steamy June day three months before his fourteenth birthday, Alec stands alone, partially hidden in the mouth of a Brooklyn alley, and watches six hundred rainbow-garbed mundanes dance their way through the streets.

    Summary

    “I… understand what you’re going through-“ he started cautiously, and Ellie couldn’t help the bitter little laugh that escaped her.

    “Oh, you understand?” she bit out like a cornered dog, pulling his jacket tighter around her as her skin crawled, remembering David’s touch, his sickening grin, “Some fucking freak tried to rape you too?”

    Joel didn’t answer, meeting her eyes steadily, and Ellie’s throat closed up.

    “No…”

    Summary

    “You’d better hurry up, mate, or all the good ones will have gone.” Fred leaned back and crossed his arms over his chest, clearly thinking that he’d now exceeded his allowance of brotherly wisdom for the day.

    “Who are you going with then?” Harry asked suddenly. He looked between Fred and George, a thoughtful expression on his face.

    Harry asks George to the Yule Ball because it’ll be a laugh and he’s in dire need of one of those. If George can continue to keep his crush under wraps it should all go swimmingly.

    Summary

    Taylor broke up with Chad halfway through his three-day freshman orientation with an email that read more like he was being fired than broken up with.

     

    Which leads to late night phone calls with Ryan Evans, begrudgingly watching musicals and somehow sharing lunches with his new frenemy Sharpay.
