    Summary

    When Mr. Keating asks his students to write a poem about a powerful feeling they’ve truly experienced, Todd panics: he has no idea what he could possibly write about. Lost and frozen in front of the blank page, he ends up searching for inspiration… with Neil.

    Summary

    Achilles, the sun casting its last rays around his head like a halo, resplendent and aureate.

    Achilles, the soles of his feet flashing pink as he sprints across the beach.

    Achilles, slender fingers plucking the strings of his lyre, eyes green like fresh pressed olives. His cat's smile.

    "Guess what I'm thinking about," he says.

    The robin that flew over our heads but a minute past. The dream he had last night of a ship with purple sails, its prow slicing the waves of the Aegean sea. The wooden amulet that hangs about the augur's neck. This and this and this.

    "I'll be the first hero to be happy," he would tell me years later. "You're the reason."

     

    A collection of all the scenes we didn't get to see in The Song of Achilles. Follows the timeline of the book.

    Summary

    Him and Sonic. They weren’t a thing – they never had been – but they also were not not a thing. That was where it got confusing.

     

    Or, Shadow navigates the practicality of being demiromantic the hard way.

    Summary

    “Why did you break into my house at…” he glances off to the side to look at the clock, “almost half past four in the morning? Do you have a death wish?”

     

     

    Sonic shrugs. “I may have a death wish but you have an open window. In the middle of a storm.”

     

     

    “You ran here in the middle of a storm,” Shadow points out and Sonic can't really argue with that.

    or: Sonic can't sleep so the next logical thing to do is to break into Shadow's house.

When Jayce Talis becomes one of Viktor’s regulars, things get more complicated from there.
