    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    GREYWAREN SPOILERS

    Sometimes endings are endings, but sometimes they’re just middles and the real ending is very, very far away.

    Or, the days between the last chapters and the epilogue of Greywaren

    Summary

    There's something terrible escaping the dreamscape, and a ley line winking out. There’s a magician at Harvard and a dreamer in the wild. The world has shifted, and nothing is as it should be. The dreamers are hunted and their dreams have fallen asleep. Everyone wants something: the sweetmetals, the Zeds, the ley line-killing orb. The long-elusive Greywaren.

    The end of the world.

    Ronan Lynch just wants to live. He just wants to know what’s real. And Adam Parrish might be the only person who can help him find the answers he’s looking for. If they can find their way back to each other, they just might be able to forge a new world for dreamers and dreams alike.

    This is Adam's story, which, of course, is also Ronan's story—an alternate Book 3 of the Dreamer Trilogy, beginning with Adam's missing perspective through CDTH and MI.

    Summary

    They’re in what Ronan has come to think of as their bedroom, lying down on what Ronan has come to think of as their bed, surrounded by toys from Ronan’s childhood and countless dreams that had been his father’s, countless dreams that are his. Adam might not live here, not officially, but there is a pile of books of his on the desk, one of his potted plants — a barely grown Coleus in a small ceramic pot Maura gifted him as a graduation present — on the windowsill to soak up the sun, drawers in the closet with half his clothes mixed with Ronan’s. His gloves set upon his shoes in the mudroom.

    Ronan opens his eyes, and finds Adam already looking back.
