Summary
Giving up on Louis, Lisa turned to James. “Charlie doesn’t have anything planned after exams.”
“I’ve got work,” Charlie repeated unhelpfully as he turned a page in his book, eyes glued to his notes.
“Nothing fun,” Lisa stressed, giving James and Louis a meaningful look. “So, because I’m a great friend, I said I’d help him go on a date after exams end.”
Charlie’s head snapped up at the same time as James’ did, both of them looking at Lisa in abject horror.
Her lips curled into a smirk at their overlapping “What?!”
or, instead of spending her lunch studying like Charlie, Lisa decides to set her friends up on a date (no need to thank her—though it would be appreciated).

Summary
Jon's been going about his life and his schooling the same way he always has — overworking himself to exhaustion and attempting to ignore the phantom pains he experiences (though there's one ache that always takes him out for the day, a blinding pain in his chest just above his heart that doctors have assured him is no cause for alarm).
One late night, while doing work for his literature course, something strange happens. He brushes it off, but when the same thing keeps happening, maybe Jon has to admit there's something going on.
or
Jon and Martin will find each other, no matter where they go.

Summary
Somewhere Else, there is a revelation, and a conversation, and a realisation that has been a long time coming.
***
“God, of course it was burns, of course you got burned, it was an explosion for Christ’s sake, god how could I be so stupid –” he shoves his face into his hands, and groans loudly. Then he rips them away, as his eyes flash with further realisation. “That’s why you cover up all the time?”
“Of course.”
“Why didn’t you say? You didn’t mention it at all in those awkward ‘boundaries’ conversations early on. You just said, ‘obviously me being undressed is a no’ or something and moved on, I thought it was an ace thing!”
“Well I thought it was obvious!”
“It was not obvious, Jon.”
