Summary
Hobie dies when Theo is thirty-five — two years sober from drugs, five years sober from alcohol, and a subjective number of years in recovery from the rest of his life. In his will, Hobie leaves him a letter, the shop, the workshop and the house. Pippa gets a chest of Hobie's old clothes she clutches to her chest and doesn't let go of for a long time. Popper gets a casserole smoothie of all the condolences Theo receives in the coming days.
Life goes on, and Theo tries to go on with it, despite the odds. Boris comes and goes with the tides of the Moon, and like the Moon, Theo's love for him is ever-present, even when he doesn't see it.

Summary
Theo moves to Vegas, and meeting Boris there will become the first step toward his decade-long problem of drug abuse and art theft. But he couldn't help but remember him fondly, regardless, because of the unlikely bond they had shared that Theo could not obtain with anyone else, no matter how much he tried. When Theo's father dies, being on the run with him will cement that bond even further while they're forced to share four walls in a dirty motel room and live off whatever food scraps they can find, and try to make ends meet together. Theo abandons him when he grows sick of waiting for a promise of a better life that Boris was unable to provide for them, and they go their separate ways without knowing of one another for 12 whole years. When all is mended with the painting, post canon Theo tries his best to navigate life with the terrible coping mechanisms he has relied on over the years, and loneliness after calling off his engagement with Kitsey. A loneliness that Boris will help him fix

Summary
Boris gently scooped Popchyk up and cradled him like a baby, raising him up to press their noses together. Kissed the top of his head. “All Vegas in a little dog. How do you kill a thing like that?”

Summary
The more Boris watched them—over the days they came there, it happened at least once every two weeks, he watched the man grow less and less interested in her, in what she had to say. The smiles were less frequent, he’d leave her to dance alone (or even with other people) which eventually surprised Boris. And apparently, his surprise arrived to the young man, standing further away close to the bar, while Boris was sitting at a table against the wall, and he looked at him. His eyes didn’t tell Boris much, other than… an eyebrow raise. Maybe he was asking Boris why he was staring at him like he was the only man ever, but Boris liked to think that it was more like a tempting look than anything. So he smiled. Not big, slow, slow enough for him to see it. He knew he did when he got a smile back—more gentle than Boris, but still tentative.
Or,
Boris sees this man appear in the bar he usually goes to—usually with his wife. They stare into each other's eyes for months until the stranger appears one night, alone, and Boris takes his chance to finally do something about it.Bookmarked by m3wzzs
