    Summary

    Todd is stranger to the churn that crashes around his stomach, tearing down his walls and clawing its way to his heart, whenever he looks at Neil Perry. He simply can't help but allow a small smile to tug at his lips whenever his hand rests his hand on his shoulder for a moment too long.

    He is unaware as to what to label his feelings, but, after all, as far as he is concerned, he has all the time in the world to sort it out...right?

    Summary

    When a grief-stricken Todd Anderson moves to New York City, he plans on keeping his head down. He’s in no state to do much more than write, study for grad school, pick up a part-time job, read poetry, stay numb, and carry on.

    That plan begins to unravel the night he stumbles into a bar called The Dead Poets Society, a dim, welcoming place that hosts open-mic nights, poetry slams, and live music.

    It’s owner, Neil Perry, kind, caring, charismatic, carrying deep scars of his own, offers Todd a job. Slowly, Neil and his eccentric circle of friends begin to draw Todd out of his shell in a way that once felt impossible.

    Friendships, art, and a kind of care Todd has never quite known how to ask for begin to soften the edges of his broken heart, and for the first time, he allows himself to imagine a future he never thought he’d be permitted to have.

    But grief has teeth, and it isn’t quite finished with him yet.

     

    A Modern AU about grief, found family, and learning how to live, and love, after trauma

    Summary

    Once Neil gets to about page 6 when looking over his play, he feels his eyebrows furrow. Now, obviously since the play was about the Poets as a whole, there wasn’t really a main character. There would be a more prominent character in each given scene, but Neil made sure to avoid making himself the one who narrated and directed the entire story.

    But once he was about halfway through rereading what he had so far, he realized that every character more or less revolved around one Poet in particular. Every scene managed to include the character, there were always in-depth descriptions of what he and his facial expressions looked like, and everyone either went to him for help or obviously valued his opinion highly.

    Neil had named the character William, and he was realizing now that he had included a surprising amount of descriptions about this character’s blond hair, blue eyes, and unassuming but devout personality.

    Oh shit, Neil thinks to himself, I accidentally made Todd the main character.

    Or in which it's 1960, the Poets' senior year at Welton, and Neil's writing a secret play, his magnum opus, but there's just one problem: Todd keeps getting in the way.
