    Summary

    birds of a feather flock together, or, more specifically: gay kids somehow know and find other LGBT kids to be friends with, even before any of them know they're LGBT.

    this is my take on the 6 bad kids and their 6 journeys with their sexualities - because no two coming out journeys are the same.

    Summary

    And now Riz is thinking about Fabian, and how he got hurt, and how it’s his fault. ‘You didn’t possess Fabian,’ a little piece of him whispers. ‘You didn’t try to drown him,’ it says, and it’s right, but Riz hadn’t stopped it either. It had been his job to watch over Fabian, to make sure he was okay, and Riz had been too busy sleeping to make sure he was safe. Riz thinks about all the ways he could’ve kept tonight from happening, of all the things he could’ve done differently, of all ways he could fix this--

    Which makes him ask, “Can I touch your scar?”

    -

    Riz grapples with being Fabian's best friend, his own feelings and desires, and the realization that they don't have to be exclusive.

    (Or Mac thought too hard about Riz comforting and touching Fabian's scar after Pirate Brawl and blacked out to write 4.1k about it. Spoilers for Sophomore Year Episode 6!)

    Summary

    If there’s one thing that age has taught her, it’s that life is both never and always that simple. There’s always details that make it more complicated. It usually comes down to the same choices, anyway, in the end. Perhaps it’s that certainty, or how fond she feels, looking at her boy, now a grown man but with still so much to learn and experience and live, that makes Cathilda bold. “Which of your friends have you fallen in love with, then?”

    Summary

    Once Riz gets past the initial shock and terror at things changing, there’s a part of him that’s just want. That selfish, greedy part of him that he’s had to learn how to quiet, to stop focusing on the things he’s scared he’ll lose or that he’ll never have when he’s so spoiled with the things he does have now, it hears all the quiet promises in Fabian’s words and wants to clutch it all tight, no takebacksies. He wants to be wanted. He wants to bask in however Fabian wants to express his love the same way that he’s always loved it when Fabian expresses his love. He wants to not be scared of the thought of it. He wants to want it. He might want it? He wants to know if he does want it.

    (Or, discovering your best friend of over a decade is in love with you might bring some confusion, some complications, and plenty of recontextualizing, but it might also bring so much happiness.)
