    Summary

    “I won’t ask you to wait
    if you don’t ask me to stay.”

    Francis visits Richard during the holidays every year. Each year ends differently. They cry. They laugh. They smile. But most importantly, they yearn. Yearn for what would’ve been; what could’ve been; what should’ve been— and what will be.

    Loosely based off “‘tis the damn season” by Taylor Swift.

    Summary

    When Francis invites Richard to visit him in Boston, Richard goes without a second thought. Once he's in the same place as Francis again, he realizes how much he missed his friend. And even if they don't get along perfectly, their friendship starts to develop into something more.

    Set during the epilogue, after Sophie breaks up with Richard but before he receives Francis's suicide note, on the premise of "What if Richard came back to the East Coast before Francis was forced to marry Priscilla?"

    Summary

    Francis hopped onto the kitchen island. With dangling feet he said:
    „It‘s easy. Just don‘t forget the olive oil on top of it. In fact, it‘s vital to be always generous with olive oil. In every situation.“

    Summary

    “To be honest with you, I’m going to take a bath and go to bed,” Francis said. Richard hardly thought before saying, “Can I come?” The implication was something Richard realized after he’d said it, and while otherwise he would never willingly invite himself into something like that, it sounded far better than anything he could do alone in his room.
