    Summary

    “Is that really why you're single? You're afraid you'd let your partner down?”

    Ilya took a sip and tried to battle the urge to be honest, but it was useless. He had developed an Achilles heel, and it came with beautiful brown eyes that were currently piercing straight through his soul.

    “I think I am single because I have fun being single,” Ilya started with the easier part of his answer, and he saw Shane nod. That part was expected.

    Ilya took a shaky breath before he admitted the rest. “And I have not met anyone that I wanted to be with, enough. One time, maybe. But was not possible.”

    ***

    Shane and Ilya stop hooking up during their rookie season after their secret is almost exposed. Six years later, Scott Hunter comes out and changes everything. Ilya and Shane decide to forge an unlikely friendship as they navigate the league, coming out, and Scott Hunter's annoying queer group chat.

    And they accidentally fall in love, obviously.

    Summary

    She’s dead, and I’m alive.

    Someone knocked on the wall behind him, so as to not startle him.

    “You’re not inside,” Mr. Tumnus said, and Edmund glanced over at him, guilt turning in his stomach, and turned back to the sea.

    “I think I might prefer the quiet,” he admitted.

    Or: The Witch is dead. Narnia has entered its golden era. But her evil deeds still haunt Edmund, far more than he realizes.

    Summary

    He was a ghost amongst his family, he thought to himself. Everyone praised Peter, how handsome he was, how tall he was. Everyone fawned over Susan, the oldest girl, how beautiful she was, how demure, how well spoken. Lucy was the baby and she played the part well, to no fault of her own, she was doted on for how cute she was, how darling, how precious and precocious. Lost within the mix was Edmund, the second born son. He wasn’t handsome or tall like Peter, and he wasn’t the baby like Lucy, he seemed to just fade into the background.

    __________

    I wrote the Edmund-centric fic that I wanted to see in the world. This fic centers around the trauma that Edmund suffered at the hands of the White Witch in Narnia (canonical and non-canonical), his relationship with his siblings, his relationship to the world around him, and his journey growing up as a gay kid in 1930s-40s England and Narnia. This is the first of what will be a series, each fic focusing on a different part of his life. This one will focus mainly on little kid Edmund and Narnia Edmund. There is some heavy content, so check the tags, I will also put appropriate trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter.
    I hope you enjoy!
