    Summary

    knap: a crest, a hill; to chip or break by a sharp blow, as flint

     
    Gray found him exceptional. Stroking the boy’s filthy curls off his forehead, he asked, “Do you know what’s about to happen?”

    Declan didn’t flinch, though it took him a moment to swallow his mouth wet again. “Will you tell me who’s paying you? This seems elaborate.”

    Gray shook his head. “I can make you like it, if you want,” he offered.

    Summary

    After, cheeks rosy-flushed and skin spangled with sweat, he’ll wonder why he did this again. He shouldn’t have come here. Not tonight, not last week. Not ever. But right now—Adam’s touch fireworking through him—he can’t bring himself to care. When he gets like this, he can’t think of anything else, head jammed with the memory of Adam inside him; the stretch, the fullness, the wreckage of it all.

    A chance meeting in Boston, years after they broke up. Ronan knew it was a bad idea to fuck Adam. He did it anyway. He’s going to keep doing it anyway.

    Summary

    Part of Ronan was satisfied; he’d succeeded somewhat. Adam had, for once, not blankly stared at Ronan’s unpleasantness like it was a particularly persistent mosquito. He’d been bothered enough to physically react, even if that reaction was only flight. Ronan took pride in his ability to push people away, to make them jittery when in his general vicinity, like he had his very own kind of nuclear blast radius for social interactions. It usually felt good to release some of the rage that burned like a neverending gas leak in the pit of his stomach. And it had felt good to realize he’d said something effective enough to make someone as unflappable as Adam react to it.

    But as he watched his lithe, wounded figure move away from him, the rage flung itself backwards into him. At some point he’d started hoping Adam would stand his ground and push back against Ronan’s abrasiveness, and his subconscious had forgotten to give him the memo.

    Or: Adam and Ronan, over the years.

    Summary

    Two weeks before he’d packed his life into a suitcase and gotten on the first bus to Nowheresville, Adam had stopped returning his therapist’s phone calls. We should work on your emotional avoidance, his therapist had said, and then Adam had started avoiding him, which was poetry in motion, in Adam’s opinion. It was the funniest possible thing he could have done in response to that topic being broached. Adam didn’t suffer with all the grandiosity and aplomb of a saint actively being martyred in a public square; even though he sometimes wished that privilege might be afforded to him. Just once, Adam would like to make a big deal about something. He would like to do whatever the Adam Parrish equivalent was to slitting his wrists or blowing part of his inheritance on a fishing boat just to piss someone else off.

    or: adam thinks he should be happy by now. ronan owns a fishing boat. they meet.
