Summary
Neil Perry fails his suicide attempt but manages to kill the larger part of himself. He gives up completely and follows his father's wishes to become a doctor. He manages to fast-track his education and graduates from med school a few years earlier than anticipated. After receiving a residency position at a hospital in New York he is convinced by a coworker to attend the local Shakespeare festival. The last thing he expected was to recognize Horatio.
"He stops for a moment, hand hovering just centimeters from Todd’s face. He closes his eyes and allows himself to feel the crushing, burning weight of the yearning he has carried, feels it buzz in his fingertips, heart pounding with anticipation.
And then Todd closes the gap and brings Neil’s face to his and everything collides in the most perfect way. Like molecules in a star, he is shattered and fused and rearranged all at once, becoming something new and strange and volatile."
