    Summary

    Pirate captain Brando has heard the stories about sirens all his life.

    When a storm damages his ship and forces his crew ashore for repairs, he expects danger, sharp teeth, and every warning he's ever heard in a tavern to be proven right.

    Instead, he meets Wilson.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    "I'm glad I went," Mike murmurs near Will's ear.

    "Had fun?" Will asks playfully.

    "Oh, yeah," Mike stretches sarcastically.

    They stay like that for a little longer than necessary, then reluctantly separate, still looking at each other. Will can't hold the eye contact for long, and turns away, biting down a smirk.

    "Goodnight, then," he breathes out.

    "Yeah. Goodnight," Mike nods nervously and smiles. That same stupid dorky smile.

    OR

    The Party have one last fun summer together before moving away, everyone is alive and happy and in love and stupid.

    Summary

    Wilson paints people without ever letting them touch him.

    Brando makes art like he’s trying to split himself open in public.

    At a prestigious art college where everyone is desperate to be seen, they become unwillingly obsessed with each other - through shared studio walls, sleepless nights, brutal critiques, and the strange intimacy of being witnessed too closely.

    Neither of them knows how to want someone normally.

    Summary

    To survive the stress of senior year, Wilson and Brando begin to write their absolute worst, most ridiculous fears in a notebook that Bran bought on a whim one night.
    It's harmless, fun, a memory to laugh at in future years.

    But then the jokes begin to fade, and raw confessions slowly take their place.
    Wil realises that Bran's anxieties match his own- and that the only thing scarier than the future is staying silent about his true feelings.

    And although he tries his best to explain it
    He still runs the risk of losing breath on empty pages.
