    Summary

    Ellie doesn’t know how long it’s been. She’s not counting.

    Time keeps going between every second feeling like hours, and every hour feeling like seconds. The sound of the snow crunching beneath their shoes is starting to feel like torture. And Ellie is zoning out.

    Or, Ellie’s breaking after Silver Lake. Joel is trying to put the pieces back together.

    Summary

    Jean Moreau signs his contract with the USC Trojans and wonders how on earth he’s ever going to survive the next two years of his life.

    Only, when Jean gets to Los Angeles, he starts to realize that what he’s doing looks less like surviving and more like living, and this new life he’s building is something he’ll fight like hell to hold onto.

    Healing is the hardest thing he’s ever had to do, but he’s got a messy, spectacular team at his back, friends who are slowly turning into family, a city that’s starting to feel like home, and something that's shaping up to feel a lot like it might be love holding him together while he assembles a person from the broken pieces of his life.

     

    Or: a look at Jean's first year with the Trojans and his slightly rocky path to recovery, rewritten.

    Summary

    On the third Thursday of every month, Jean walks seven miles across town to visit his sister.

    This is the deal that he’s struck with his sister’s foster—no, adoptive now—family. They used to claim that he could visit whenever he wanted, and it used to be Jean’s ability to sneak out of the Moriyama’s home that limited the frequency, but of course the Master had figured out where he was going, and now for years they’ve had him in their ear, telling them how Jean is unstable and disruptive and getting into fights and doing drugs, and of course they don’t want Elodie around that. She’s had a hard enough life as it is, and her good-for-nothing brother is just going to bring trouble and pain. But that won’t stop Jean from showing up, and so this is the deal that he had to make.

    Jean will take whatever time he can get.

    Summary

    Jean thinks he should’ve known. He was never meant to have this. The sun is coming through the blinds in warm slits that spread across the floor of the living room and Jean’s sitting on the couch with Jeremy at his side. Their thighs are pressed close together and Jean tries not to think about it but he can admit when he fails.
