Summary
Is learning how to live as a teenage sea monster usually this hard? Is it usually this deadly? Why does the sea call to him in the middle of the night? For Alberto he really doesn’t know. Although to grow up it’s more than being yourself. It means surviving when the world isn’t there for you. And Luca? He’d be there through all that. No matter how dark it gets.

Summary
Il primo anno di università ha comportato molti cambiamenti nella vita di Luca: il trasferimento in una nuova città, ancor più lontana di Genova, e la canonizzazione della sua relazione con Alberto che ormai non è più un segreto. Nonostante la distanza che li divide, l’attrazione fra i due cresce ogni giorno di più. Fronteggiando dubbi e timori, senza realmente sapere cosa aspettarsi, entrambi cominciano a chiedersi quanto ci vorrà prima di compiere l’inevitabile passo successivo. Passo che potrebbe cambiare il loro rapporto per sempre.

[🇬🇧] Luca’s first year of university is also the first year in which his relationship with Alberto is made official. Despite the distance which keeps them apart, the attraction between the two of them grows day by day. Facing doubts and fears, they both wonder how long it will take before sharing the inevitable next step together. And they both wonder how their relationship could become once they make this big change together, which could turn out to be completely different from what they expect and hope to be.Or… my obligatory and (way too much) chaotic First Time!Fic. Set between “L’Ideale del Paguro” and “Effetto Luna”.

Summary
For the first time in a long time, Alberto feels loved. He thinks of Massimo not as an employer but as a father, and Massimo thinks of him not as an employee but as a son. Luca’s family adores him almost to the point of suffocating him. He has several jobs and lots of friends. He’s needed. He’s wanted. He couldn’t be happier.
Well, maybe he could be, if Luca was here. Life would be so much easier with his best friend by his side. Without him, it feels a lot harder. He can still manage, of course. It’s just hard. Hard and lonely. Even though he couldn’t be happier. Really, he couldn’t.
Unless Luca was here.

Summary
«Sai cos’è l’Effetto Luna? È quello che si verifica quando provi a scattare una fotografia alla sua luce durante la notte, magari quando è piena. La guardi da lontano, a occhio nudo, ed è perfetta, luminosa come un faro, forse anche di più. Poi però tiri fuori la macchina fotografica, la inquadri, e tutto quello che ottieni sono le immagini di un misero lumino opaco inghiottito dall’oscurità. È così che siamo sempre stati io e Alberto. Da lontano, a occhio nudo, luminosi e perfetti. Poi, però, quando provi a catturare il nostro rapporto, a concretizzarlo, a farlo durare per sempre, chiudendolo in un libro e a renderlo immortale come una fotografia, ti ritrovi in mano solo la pallida immagine di quello che sembriamo visti da lontano. E non c’è mai verso di farla funzionare. Per quanto ci sforziamo, non riusciamo mai a scattare una fotografia migliore.»
