    Summary

    He pictures the funeral sometimes.

    He pictures someone he doesn’t know saying Viktor’s name wrong. He pictures screaming in public. He pictures stealing the ashes and keeping them in a protein powder container because it’s the only vessel big enough. He pictures lying in those ashes like a widow bird. He pictures baking the ashes into bread and feeding them to pigeons in the park.

    He pictures swallowing them himself.

     

    Or: When Viktor chooses a quiet death, Jayce learns how to love him to the edge of the end and carry what’s left through the sad art of letting go.

    Summary

    Being in love with your best friend isn't exactly an easy thing to do, especially when he's turning into everything you hate.

    Gerard had been my best friend ever since I could remember but things were becoming more strained between the two of us by the day. I think if it was not for me being so helpless infatuated with him, my devotion to him would have been buried a long time ago. His new friends had snatched the boy I was in love with from me long ago, and buried him deep under this arrogant stranger.

    Summary

    Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.

    Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

    Summary

    “Be honest with me,” Alex says, all of a sudden walking towards Jack. Jack's pulse spikes, and he retreats until his back hits the wall. Alex crowds him in. “Am I the worst thing you’ve ever done?”

    Jack swallows hard. “You’re not so bad.”

    “That’s not true and we both know it,” Alex says lowly. “Am I?”

    Jack bites his lip. “Yeah. No question.”

    And the best. I think you’re somehow both.

    Summary

    But more than that, Alex knows that the more people he tells about the breakup, the more real it becomes. Once it’s real, it’s unfixable. Alex is holding onto hope, tragically, pathetically, like a sailor on a stormy sea grasping for a plank of his splintered raft, like somehow that will magically transport him to shore, where everything will be okay.

    He’s starting to think he wouldn’t recognize the shore if he saw it. All he knows is ocean and rain.
