    Summary

    It’s been two years and three months and the sight of Marianne across a crowded room is still enough to stop him in his tracks.

    As an act of lockdown self-care I wrote a hopeful coda to Normal People. It is set two years after Connell leaves for New York.

    Summary

    “Ow, shit!” Wymack exclaims, retracting his arm. There's a slight burn on his skin. Neil stands, frozen, feeling like time itself has stopped. But if it had, then Wymack wouldn’t be moving in his direction and -

    The pan clatters to the floor, and Neil is several feet away before he realizes he’s moved at all. But suddenly, he’s half-lying on the floor. He stares at his arms, thrown up in front of him as if to protect him, and on the other side of them is Wymack, looking down at him as if he’s just seen somebody die.

    ---

    Or: a Fox family dinner goes awry, and Neil struggles to come to terms with his own instincts.

    Summary

    “What did you mean, ‘we’re not friends anymore’?” Will demands.

    “Oh god,” Mike says faintly, because he can’t think of a single other thing to say.

    “It’s Will, actually,” Will says. “Or maybe you forgot that in the five years since you last bothered to speak to me before you sent me this.”

    He unfolds his arms to brandish a crumpled envelope in Mike’s face, and he knows without even looking at his own handwriting on the front exactly what it is.

    (or, the summer after all his friends graduate from college, mike writes will a letter to say goodbye. predictably, nothing about this goes as planned.)

    Summary

    Alex was the most irritating person Andrew had ever met, with his easy compliance, stupid face, and suspiciously well-thought-out plan for running away after accidentally killing a rotten Soc, but Andrew kept finding himself by Alex’s side anyway.
    -
    Alex (or Abram—the secret name the boy whispered to Andrew one night) is the new kid at Andrew's school, and Andrew is partnered with him for an English project about The Outsiders: Andrew and Abram have to come up with a runaway plan that would work out better than Johnny and Pony's. They think the project is utterly pointless at first, but it turns out to be a lot more useful than they ever would have expected when, less than two months later, Andrew and Abram find themselves with blood on their hands.
