    Summary

    “I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.

    “Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.

    ~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

    Summary

    Robby really hadn't meant for any of this to happen.

    There was a bassline throbbing distant in the house, the buzz of a party on the floor below, and yet the room they were in was dark, quiet, private. The only light was the dim glow of a lava lamp on the dresser directly in front of where Robby was sitting, the purple wax erupting into oozing globs every time he glanced at it, and it illuminated two things: one, a giant tapestry of The White Album hung behind the dresser; two, the bobbing head of the man between Robby's legs.

    Or, grad student Michael Robinavitch's already stressful life is made more stressful by the appearance of undergrad Jack Abbot in his life.

    Summary

    “Well, if you’ve never tried it, that’s all the more reason to come camping with me," Jack says. "It’s less than a two-hour drive, it’s great for hiking, and my tent fits two people.”

    Robby looks amused. “Are you going to protect me from bears?”

    “If I have to,” Jack says, which is better than the more inappropriate, if equally true, I would take a bullet for you. “So, is that a yes?”

    Robby’s dark eyes dart, briefly, to the floor, then back up to meet Jack's gaze. “Do you really want me there?”

    Or: Twelve hours after Robby leaves on his sabbatical, Jack’s phone buzzes with an incoming call. Jack spends the next few weeks bullying Robby into staying in his guest room, then staying in his tent, and then just staying, period.

    Summary

    "Can a ghost haunt you if there's no body to prove they're gone?"

    Grief is just a room you learn to live in. For eight years, Dennis made it a home. He painted the walls, rearranged the furniture the way he liked it and he left the door unlocked just in case. For whatever came next.

    Eight Julys ago Michael Robinavitch walked out of the Pitt, got on his motorcycle and never came back, and each one since has been a reminder of the anniversary he couldn't mourn and the start he couldn't escape—new interns, new students, new faces filling the same old halls. Not his, never his again.

    Then John Carter walked through the door.

    And Dennis realized he'd never actually decided if he wanted to move on. Move out.

    Title based on Sufjan Stevens "John My Beloved"

    Sequel to "The Driver, the Shadow, the Hearse". I strongly recommend reading it before starting this.

    Updates bi-weekly, more or less.

    Summary

    Some things break before they can heal.

    For the first time in his life, Andrew Cody has something worth losing.
    Pittsburgh offers the promise of stability: a home, a routine, and Michael. But healing proves far less straightforward than either man expected. While Michael returns to a hospital that demands more than he has left to give, Andrew finds himself trapped between the person he was and the person he’s trying to become.

    The closer they grow, the harder it becomes to ignore the fractures running beneath the surface.
    Because love can offer shelter.
    It cannot erase grief.
    And when the pressure finally becomes too much, something has to break.
