    Summary

    I wondered where he had been after the war. Suddenly, without even realizing it, I was interested in his interests. I wondered if he was secretly unconventional.
     

    Gatsby keeps having this dream where he dies and is sent back in time. It makes him look at Nick Carraway a bit differently.
    Or, the potential of the American Dream.

    Summary

    Aaron feels like a rubber band at the best of times. What that means is that he goes from stretched and taut and too much to snapping at a moments notice, emotional impact made with whatever has caused his most recent panic. It's leftover stress from childhood needs permanently unaddressed. It's maladaptive, is what it is. Aaron is a rubber band, when he should have been water. He snaps and breaks instead of flows.

    At his father's murder trial, Aaron doesn't leave a single thing out. He breaks down on the stand, nine years old and traumatized, while Martin watches and his father yells, and he cries and stutters over what it was like to hear his mother's neck snap as a room full of people watches on.

    Summary

    Jay sat in his grand bed, sunlight peaking through his windows at him. He curled up in the covers, his brow furrowed.

    "And I-!" He said, cutting off and sighing as he continued to speak to Daisy. "Who am I kidding.. it's terribly lonely."

    Gatsby had it all together. Gatsby put on a lavish facade of excitement. He put on a smile that seemed to understand everything. A true Oxford man, an extravagant and rich bachelor.

    This was not Gatsby in his bed. This was Jay. Jay was broken and alone. Jay found it hard to smile, and found it hard to cope with seperation. Jay gave up Daisy and has resigned himself to his palace-like home ever since.

    ...
    Maybe he'll call Nick.

    Summary

    It had been five days since the incident at Gatsby’s poolside. Five days since he was shot in the shoulder by Wilson. Five days since Daisy abandoned him. Gatsby wasn’t thinking right. He was so far in his chasm of depression, with seemingly no little light to guide him out. To guide him back to land for air.

    Or, Gatsby lives Wilson's attack, and slowly falls in love with Nick

    Summary

    I saw the mattress, and its terrible burden, I saw the blood swirling in its wake like red ink into water. I think I even saw the wound, dark as a shadow beneath one splayed, pale hand.

    But I didn’t process it. It wasn’t possible.

    Gatsby, for all his mystery, for all his solitude, for all his terrible melancholy, was so viscerally alive. To see him floating there, eyes shuttered, fantastically communicative hands limp on his chest...

    It was anathema. It was unthinkable.

    Summary

    Nick never ended up going to work that day. His gut told him something was wrong, extremely, extremely wrong. He never usually acted on his more frenzied impulses, but Jay Gatsby was enough to set him in motion for something as banal as a feeling. He'll alway be grateful for that.

    Summary

    "Hello again, old sport," as if that charming smile—the one he'd given him on a foggy morning as he'd drawn him in for a slow kiss—wasn't enough, he rasped out that stupid nickname he'd use for everyone. That stupid nickname that had turned into my love, but now-
    Nick cleared his throat and finally found his voice, "It really is you." His eyes were searching Jay's, looking for any indication that whatever they had had wasn't yet over. That there was still a chance he could bring him in for a kiss and would't instead hear I'm sorry. It's over now. I need to return to my girl, like he had that last time.

    Summary

    Fireworks erupted. Scattered spectacles of colour and sound embellished the air, neon facsimile of war. Gatsby shuddered. The towering walls of his own home weren't enough to protect him, nor the blankets he yanked tight to himself, a shield of cotton and linen. Nothing was.

    Summary

    "“I got a letter from my parents. They want to meet you.” He was initially going to build up to that topic, but there was something about Jay’s softer expressions that managed to lower his guard until he’d divulge anything.

    Jay’s face stilled for a moment, and Nick braced for the worst until he heard a laugh. “Well, alright then. I don’t see why not.”

    “Really?”

    Jay’s smile was infectious. “Yes, really. I’m not an honourable man, but I think I can pretend for a day or two. Let me get everything sorted out with Meyer.”

    Nick reached up and tugged on Jay’s tie, pulling him closer. “You’re plenty honourable to me.”"

    Early on in Nick's relationship with Jay, his parents send him a letter saying they want to meet the new addition to his life. A bit apprehensive, the pair visits Carraway house. It goes... surprisingly well, actually.
