Summary
There was no life altering event causing a lapse of faith; just a slow and steady distance from Dema’s empty grace as if his bones were rejecting the idea that Clancy was someone worthy of having something to believe in. That he was somebody who deserved to hold faith in a structure that would absolve him of whatever he does wrong, over and over and over and over. And by the time he had been smeared for his third time, he knows he’s past the point of no return.
Ultimately, he thinks that’s why the Bandito rebellion doesn’t work much for him, either. There’s too much overlap between a torch and a vial; each holding a person on the other side that’s trying to offer a solace that you don’t want or deserve.
or; a salvation and a penance all found in the torchbearer

Summary
He’s not an idiot. He knew what he felt at twenty-two, and he knew at twenty-eight. He knows at thirty-six. Josh used to shake with it when he was younger; the intensity of the feeling. It was the only thing he had—pressed together in the back of a van trying to keep warm, playing shows, creating; all of those were Tyler. It all went back to him over and over again. Being in love with Tyler was crucial.
They both settled over the years; what was burning between them not necessarily dimming down, but evolving. It matured with age as they got older and found themselves building families. There will always be a part of Josh that’s twenty-three and in love with Tyler. Looking at him now still feels like looking at the sun.
or; in latin america, tyler and josh can't sleep

Summary
Eddie loads the metaphorical gun, cocks it. “I would’ve found my way to you. That I'm even more sure of.”
Buck is burning. That’s the only way he can describe this. Eddie says something like that, and then Buck will end the call, and he’ll crawl into Eddie’s bed in Eddie’s house and stare at the patches in Eddie’s bedroom wall that he helped Eddie patch up, and he’ll pretend like this isn’t going to kill him. He’s entirely convinced he’s going to die before Eddie ever crosses the California state line again.
He digs his own grave. “You sound confident for a guy who doesn’t believe in fate.”
“Nah, it’s not fate. It’s us and pure determination.”
or: eddie moves to texas. buck moves into his place. he holds his breath for the one hundred and twenty one days it takes for eddie to make his way back home.

Summary
Alex doesn’t know if it's his tone, or something in the air, or the fact Alex is calling him when he’s just right up stairs, but he can tell Henry feels something is wrong immediately.
“Alex, what's wrong?”
He cringes, whether at himself or the pain, he’s not sure. “Okay, so don’t get mad.”
“Alex–”
“I need you to come outside.”
He can literally hear Henry’s blood pressure rise. “Why?”
“Okay, so like, I broke my arm.”
“What?!”
or; alex breaks his arm on a trampoline

Summary
Tyler looks up at him then, it’s cold out here, but their proximity to the fire has sweat dripping down Josh’s face. His beanie is off, and his curls are now so long they’re curling above his eyes. Years ago, if Josh’s hair was this length, Tyler would've done something like brush it out of his face. Even with the mix of emotions he’s feeling right now, he fights the urge.
“I’m not sorry for what I did to get you here. I mean– okay, I am sorry for that, because I know it hurt you, or it’s hurting you right now. But it was necessary. But what I am sorry for is not protecting you like I should've.”

Summary
He remembers one year, around Christmas, his mum had told Alex a story. Something about how when Henry was younger, around eight, he wrote a letter to Father Christmas where he asked for a leather-bound journal and a holiday to East Wittering so that he could gaze at the sea.
Alex had laughed, “Yeah, that checks out,” he said.
The rest of them brushed it off and moved on from the story, but Henry remembered feeling oddly comforted by it.
That’s still you, he thought. Everything you’ve been through, and that’s still you.or; henry feels and henry loves.

Summary
It goes like this, these past couple months:
Josh calls Tyler every other night. Twelve in the morning in Columbus, which means nine at night for Josh. He would know, he has Los Angeles saved in both the weather app and clock app on his phone. It’s whatever, it’s not a thing.
His phone lights up at 12:01. He swipes.
or; "Joseph described the drummer as his "center of gravity" - and revealed he'd recently decided to move back to Ohio so the band could live in the same town again."

Summary
“Wait!” Alex yells, “Let me guess.”
Henry flushes and shuffles a bit. “And how would you manage to guess the flavor of my chapstick?”
“Well I was gonna just ask to see it and put it on myself, but you thought something different,”
“I did not-”
“Oh, you totally did. I don’t blame you, I’d think about kissing me too-”
or five times alex tastes henrys chapstick, and one time henry tastes it on alex

Summary
Robin was staring at them both wide eyed before Steve was walking out the door, her expression now pointed at just Eddie. “Uhm, what the fuck was that?”
Eddie held back a smile, “What was what?”
“Don’t be stupid, what the fuck was that?”
“What, you’ve never seen a guy kiss his friend on the cheek before? Are you against friends showing affection?” Eddie teased, running his tongue along the rubber spoon again, he was having so much fun with this.
Or; Steve and Eddie had really wanted to tell Robin, they swore, now it's just too fun to mess with her.

Summary
Steve’s eyes caught Eddie’s hand holding the spoon, the usual green hue on the ring’s stone now a dark red.
Red?
He had pissed Eddie off by inviting him to a movie?
“I didn’t mean to piss you off.” Steve said flatly.
Brown eyes flickered up to his own again, “You didn’t piss me off.”
“Okay.”
“I want to go see a movie with you.”
“Okay.”
Fucking red. Steve had never had a favorite color, but he now decided that whatever it was, red sure as hell wasn't it.
-
Or; 5 times Steve completely misinterprets what the colors of Eddie's mood ring means, and one time he finally gets it right.

Summary
But Eddie didn’t get it. Steve didn’t need to calm down. He was feeling. Like Eddie had said, that’s what mattered. It hurt, it was choking him and it was suffocating him and it fucking burned, but it wasn’t nothing. It wasn’t static and the constant feeling of a black hole sucking in his chest. It hurt. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt.
Eddie peeled Steve back off his chest, cupping his face in his hands. “You’re so good. You’re good.” he said, his voice stern, but Steve could hear in his voice that he was hurting, too.
