    Summary

    “You okay?” Mike asks him. 

    Will turns to look at Mike. The light of the TV is projected on the side of his face, bathing his skin in greens and oranges. Sometimes Will feels like the secret to digging himself out of the wreckage of his childhood is hidden in Mike. There are days when the only thing that can dull the sharp pressure of grief in his ribs is Mike’s presence at his side; steady, thrumming. Will knows the day when he will have to detach himself is coming fast, but here in this basement, where nothing has changed in over a decade, time seems to have come to a screeching halt. It’s just the two of them, sat in the last place they were innocent together.  

    “Yeah,” Will whispers, “I’m okay.” 

    or; The Party's senior year of high school, in ebbs and flows.

    Summary

    “You want me to come with you on the holiday that you specifically booked for you and your girlfriend?”

    “Yeah. Okay.”

    Summary

    A ten year old Erik watches as Wilhelm cries.

    Their nanny telling him that it’s not fair to eat the carrots but not the broccoli is the source of his tears. To a ten year old crown prince who is being raised to carry a nation, he thinks it’s a stupid thing to be upset over.

    Sometimes things are unfair, that’s why you try to make it better.

    It’s what he tells himself, anyway. It makes the idea of being king just a little bit better.

    But when he watches Wilhelm’s small hands clench into fists as he sniffles, trying to get his eyes to dry, Erik decides that maybe little Wille doesn’t need to be so strong.

    Or, in which Erik has sort of known all along, but doesn't die. A story over time.
