Summary
It had been a stupid accident. Barely one at all. A brief betrayal from his left knee mid-shower—merely a wobble, narrowly a twist. He hadn’t even hit the ground. Just panicly grabbed the towel rack a little too hard, eyes wide, pride bruised more than anything. Unfortunately Evan had heard the yelp and saw him in that unflattering position.
And that had been the beginning of the end.Or
Buck helped Tommy shower after his almost-fall. Kneecaps might or might not be framed in the process.

Summary
The thing is, sometimes Patrick gets so caught up in paying attention to David that he forgets how good David is at paying attention to him, too.
Which is how he’s taken by surprise when David bolts upright in bed, turns on the lamp, and says, “Patrick, the fourth time we drove by the house was before you proposed.”
Whoops.
a 4+1 (ish) about Patrick and David at the cottage

Summary
“If you’d like to review the full terms and conditions of your deal, you can have as much time as you need to read--”
Eliot shook his head, still not quite used to the way his hair curled below his chin, now, since he hadn’t been around to keep it properly groomed for the last-- however long it had been. God, he hadn’t even bothered to ask.
“You get my deep, dark, never-told secret, and I get the opportunity to try and Orpheus-and-Eurydice Q the fuck out of this place,” he said, cutting through Penny’s bureaucratic power-trip. “I got it the first twelve times.”
“I would strongly advise--”
“I’m ready.”
The corners of Penny’s mouth went up, but it would have been a stretch to call the expression a smile. “No, you’re really not."
The Monster's been defeated, Quentin is dead, and Eliot has a quest of his own--if he can trust himself to complete it. An Orpheus and Eurydice remix.

Summary
He sits down on the floor in front of the three boxes that look to be somewhat water-damaged and tries to remember what they contain. It can't be anything that important since he hasn't needed anything from them throughout all the years he's lived in this house.
He decides to begin with the one that has the most damage to it, one corner of it almost completely withered away by water and mold. It’s a surprise Evan even allowed them in the house.
It doesn’t take a lot to get the box open. He doesn’t even need a knife. The cardboard basically melts away beneath his fingertips.
He looks in and finds himself from thirty years ago staring back at him.
