    Summary

    Hayden has loved Shane Hollander for years, not romantically, not in ways that crossed lines, but in the steady, unshakeable way best friends do. Shane was there for the life Hayden built with Jackie, there when everything fell apart, and there afterward, when grief made even breathing feel like work.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been part of that orbit too: Shane’s husband, sharp-tongued and observant, loving in ways that are louder and fiercer than Hayden ever expected to need. Where Shane offers quiet constancy, Ilya offers insistence, on joy, on honesty, on not disappearing into loss.

    What begins as shared responsibility, school pickups, late nights, standing in kitchens that still remember Jackie, becomes something more fragile and more deliberate. No one is trying to replace what Hayden lost. Jackie’s love remains woven into their lives, into the children they are raising together. But grief shifts, and the space it leaves behind makes room for something new.

    Together, Shane, Ilya, and Hayden learn that love can expand without erasing the past. That family can be chosen, reshaped, and rebuilt. And that sometimes the deepest connections are the ones that have been there all along waiting to be named.

    Summary

    ''Hey,'' Roy says, dipping his head to catch your eye, his chest touching yours; easily, naturally, like you share the same gravitational field. ''What’s up?''

    You open your mouth to deflect, to ask what he means; ready to paint on a beautiful smile that’ll blind him and force him to avert his gaze.

    You mean to do all of that, but instead you say:

    ''Have you ever read Faust?''

    Dick realises he's in love and has a minor crisis about it.

    (Title from Ode to Masturbation by Ocean Vuong.)

    Summary

    Some things in life you just take as they are. Gravity. Oxygen. The sun coming up every day. Buck-and-Bucky.

    Things change at the camp.

    Or, actually, that's not quite it.

    At the camp, things expand.

    Summary

    “Truth spell,” Merlin said. “The sorcerer from earlier, the one in the woods. The dust he threw over us.”

    “You should go tell the others,” Arthur said.

    “I can’t.”

    “Why not?”

    “I’m under the spell too.”

    Arthur raised an eyebrow. “And you’re in the habit of lying?”

    “Yes,” Merlin said helplessly.
