Summary
"It’s so easy to play him, there’s not even that much coercion involved. If he’s got a good enough reason, Ray’s gonna do whatever he tells him to. They’re all going to win if this goes right—Gavin, Ray, his mum, John, Pat, Sonia—everyone profits, everybody wins. He just has to pull this off and they’ll all win."
Things go down the drain. We know what happens now.
*
Continuing on from Swallow, although it could be read standalone should you wish to.
A note on the narration: there are two threads here—the first told in reverse chronological order, the second (italicized) in regular order leading up to Gavin on the rooftop. Because I like to have fun.

Summary
"He’ll become a better liar. It’s all practice and necessity. For now he still needs that kernel of truth that makes it convincing, that gives him a thread to cling to when he’s lost.
He’s silent afterwards, all through the rest of the meeting, which isn’t unusual for a first timer, he’s told later. He’d say more, really, he could come up with something, and no one’s kicked him out yet.
He can’t quite get out of the dark, is the problem."
William tries to find a mentor as he's on the cusp of joining the academy and carrying out his plan, ready to give what he has to.
He does.
Lawrence fools himself into believing he's found what he's needed since he crawled out of that room.
He has not.
*
Told in vignettes and not entirely in order. This isn't really a shipping fic, but, you know. Exploring dynamics and all that. They're too hung up on other people. I love him but Lawrence is not a great person. Things are overall bleak.

Summary
"The others left the living room once it got clear what was going on, and he doesn't think anyone noticed him lingering but if they did he doesn't really give a shit. Every trip can be the last and Pat could take him out tomorrow and weep at his funeral next to his dad if the guy bothers showing up, no one gets out least of all him and he's never been able to quit anything once he's had it."
Gavin joins in on Ray and Tiffany after setting them up with each other at his party, knowing he's seducing Ray to the role of a pawn in the same cesspit he can't crawl out of.
He can't stand it.
*
A short character study of Gavin at this moment and beyond, without a happy ending.
