    Summary

    On March 14, 2000 a baby named Roman was born in a small hospital in America. Four minutes later, his mother dies, leaving her son alone with his now adoptive father.

    This is not that story.

    On August 14, 1995 a baby named Remus was born in a small hospital in Yemen. Four years later, his mother leaves, taking her son with her to the United States.

    This is also not that story.

    Three decades later.

    Summary

    A plant, much like friendship, doesn’t grow in a day. To grow, a plant requires the right nutrients, proper soil conditions, and correct lighting to grow to its full potential. Even with this perfect balance, not every plant makes it. A friendship is much more delicate, and a lot more complex.

    Or: How exactly did Roman and Virgil become friends?

    Summary

    Roman was gay.

    And he knew that. He had known that since he was a child.

    Which was why at thirty years old he was struggling so hard with his identity.

    Because Roman knew he was gay, it had never been a question. But he wasn’t sure if he was a boy.

    ~

    This is for any and every person who has ever been in a closet, whether it was by force or by choice, regardless of where they are on their journey.

    Happy National Coming Out Day.

    Each and every one of you is amazing.

    Summary

    "Virgil" was not a name Deceit was expecting to hear ever again. So when he did, he was admittedly surprised.

    But it couldn’t be the same person, right? Sure, Virgil was an uncommon name, but there were close to 8 billion people on the planet, it wasn’t like the Virgil he knew was the only person who had the name. Plus, Virgil was dead. It didn't matter anyway.

    Virgil was dead. It wasn't worth wasting time over.

    Virgil was dead.

    Wasn't he?

    Summary

    Mindscape High School was pretty lax as far as most schools go, but it did have exactly three unspoken rules that everyone knew by heart.

    1. If you didn’t have somewhere to sit at lunch, English teacher Mx. Virgil Torres’ room was always open.

    2. The pink glitter that still covered the majority of the arts wing was absolutely 100% drama teacher Mr. Roman Prince’s fault and you shouldn't let him tell you any different.

    3. Algebra teacher Mr. Patton Hart and chemistry teacher Mr. Logan Bright absolutely loathed one another.

    No one really knew when or how said feud started, but it was nothing short of entertaining.
