    Summary

    "You're quicker than I thought," he says, backing into the stall.

    "I'm not -"

    "Whatever," Kavinsky cuts him off, and drags him in.

    Summary

    It takes a few more tries for her to speak, and she does it curtly, her arms folded behind her back and her face stern. “Well. I happen to live in a house full of psychics.”

    He nods, confused. “Yes?”

    “A house full of people with the gift of divination, especially in, uh. Close quarters. So you can imagine that privacy isn’t too easy.”

    Summary

    If Gansey could figure this out, he thinks, he could probably figure out all the other mysteries in the world. But there are some mysteries that there are no books to guide you into, and there are some stories that can't be told except by living them.

    However, he did have to consider this: Adam Parrish was his own personal story, and only Adam decided how it got told.

    or:

    This friendship is too intimate for some but just right for others.

    Summary

    Lifting himself just enough to be heard, Robby shook his head. “It’s not like that, Jack. No evidence needed.”

    “It sure as hell looks like it’s like that,” Jack said, his anger bleeding through despite his best effort to keep himself in check.

    Robby looked directly at Jack for the first time since Jack had arrived. His eyes held a mix of shame and pain, and Jack was furious at the thought that somehow Robby thought he had to excuse the person who’d done this to him. But before Jack could say as much, Robby rocked him to his core by saying, “I asked for this.”

    Summary

    It’s the spring of ‘97 when Michael Robinavitch is dragged into a gay bar for the very first time.

    When he meets Jack Abbot there, the two of them are on the cusp of radically different futures: Robby is about to begin his residency, and Jack is leaving for the army. They know better than to get attached - know the timing is wrong, the goodbye inevitable - but something tender takes root anyway. Through every deployment, Jack thinks of Robby more than he ought to; through every failed relationship, Robby wonders about what might've been.

    Years later, when their paths cross again at PTMC, the past resurfaces — and though they’re older, more jaded, and scarred in different ways, they find themselves pulled towards everything they left unfinished.
