    Summary

    If Will were here, things would be different. Mack still wouldn’t have looked at the menu, but Will would’ve known what he wanted. Mack wouldn’t have had to talk to the waiter, instead leaving it all up to Will, who always knew exactly what was best for Mack.

    If Will were here, Macklin would be eating a regular chicken parm right now, while stealing some bites from Will’s plate. They would order lava cakes afterwards, getting two spoons and one plate and a side of vanilla ice cream on the side.

    Mack would be laughing the whole time, actually talking and engaging. Talking with his hands. Forgetting to sit up straight. Forgetting to monitor every bite. He wouldn’t be waiting for approval.

    But Will isn’t here.

    --

    Macklin Celebrini has spent his whole life doing things the right way: eating the right foods, making the right choices, saying the right things. At family dinners, he doesn’t even look at the menu anymore. He looks at his dad. But when Will is around, things shift.

    Summary

    When Jack Drake’s business trip gets canceled, he is forced to stay at home while the legal kinks get worked out. He’s not used to having a teenager underfoot, so it’s only rational that he’s a little snappish around Tim. At least, that’s what Tim tells himself each time his dad’s idea of discipline gets harsher.

    Bruce had told him to take a break from Robin in order to spend some time at home with his dad, and Tim can’t say no to that. He knows Bruce is probably glad to be rid of him for a short while.

    And he can handle discipline. This is a Tim Drake problem, not a Robin problem anyway. There’s no need for Bruce to know anything.

    Things get a little muddled when an injured Jason Todd crawls through his bedroom window.

    Summary

    Will has a tendency to fall in love with things the way only boys raised on promises of paradise and unbearable guilt can, unknowingly and devastatingly complete.

    He sometimes wonders if wanting something can ever be clean, if desire and goodness can ever coexist inside his body. He tells himself that it doesn’t matter anymore, but maybe he’s just learned to lie so convincingly he starts to believe it.

    Because the guilt always comes back in the end, it claws at his chest, while the fear settles low in his stomach and panic makes it hard to breathe, and it all just leaves his heart aching like a wound that never heals.

    But then there’s Mack, who makes Will want to break every rule he’s ever been taught.
