    Summary

    When Lydia Deetz, a professed loner, moved into her new apartment, she hadn’t expected to become friends with almost everyone else living in the building... and she definitely hadn’t predicted that after only three months of knowing him, she’d be marrying her sleazy but magnetic guitarist neighbor so he could add her to the cushy health insurance plan provided by his day job.

    But, hey– you gotta do what you gotta do to get free therapy!

    (Lydia and Betelgeuse are neighbors who get way too close, way too fast and speed run their relationship- while simultaneously not realizing that the other one is actually sexually attracted to/in love with them and not just making a long series of inappropriate jokes.)

    Summary

    “Ray, baby, wait—“

    “Stop!” Ray screams, so loud his voice cracks. “God, f-fucking stop it with the ‘baby’ crap! You know, you m-m-made me — you made me think — I thought we were O-O-Orpheus and Eurydice, walking out of hell, you know?”

    “Ray,” Pete says helplessly. “I don’t know what that means.”

    His big, dumb cow eyes are mean with tears. “The poet,” he shoves Pete in the chest, “and the f-f-fucking corpse.”

    Months after the Walk, months of recovery, and Ray brings Pete breakfast in bed. Things spiral from there.

    Summary

    The moments after the Walk had officially ended, when Ray had fallen to his knees after hauling Pete up and urging him forward, when the Major had stood beside Ray with his pistol pointed at the back of his head, two other soldiers with carbines pointed at Ray’s gut, his brain had stopped working. He had heard Ray receive his final warning, the numbers as much a physical wound as his ruined body, and had screamed, “Wait!”

    The Major had looked at him, cocked his head in curiosity, his expression unreadable behind his aviators. Ray, sprawled like a broken thing across the wet asphalt, forced his head up to peer blearily at Pete from beneath his hair, but Pete had continued, unperturbed. “I want my Wish! I’ve won, he’s got his ticket, and I want my fucking Wish!”

    Summary

    When Ray tells the story, he'll tell it like this: he wakes up, he starts walking. He walks right back to Pete.

    Of course, it’s not that simple.
