    Summary

    In his head, Jon keeps a list of all the things he likes about Daisy’s safehouse. Sometimes, the list is all that’s keeping him sane. Every time something happens that threatens to drive him up the wall, he pulls out his little mental list, and goes through it item by item, and suddenly the bad things don’t seem very bad at all.

    There’s the scenery, for one. There’s the old-fashioned design of the cottage, sometimes annoying but mostly just charming.

    And then, of course, there’s Martin.

    Jon and Martin get settled in Scotland, and settle into their relationship in the process.

    Summary

    Dear Jon,

    It feels ridiculous to write a letter to someone who doesn’t exist.

    It feels ridiculous to suddenly invent an imaginary friend when you’re past the age of thirty.

    It feels ridiculous to hurt for someone who’s not real.

    Here I am, though. A lonely, pathetic, thirty-one year old bloke who works in a school library and writes shitty poetry and doesn’t have any friends, crying and writing a letter to another bloke who doesn’t even exist.

    *

    Or, Martin Blackwood has led a perfectly normal, mostly blameless life for thirty-one years. Right up until the morning he wakes up with memories he didn’t have yesterday and some bloke called Jon living rent-free in his head.

    Summary

    Martin,

    I know you'll never read this. I know I'm writing to a version of you that no longer exists. It hurts to think it, still. The fact that you're gone. But I'm writing anyway, because I miss you, more than I can put into words.

    And because I saw you today, for the first time since I arrived here.

    Martin is intrigued by an attractive new customer who comes into the coffee shop - especially when that customer has a strangely intense reaction to seeing him.

    Summary

    “Have we met before?” the other man says, scrutinising him closely. “You’re from here? From London? Where?”

    “Firstly,” Martin tells him, ticking off his fingers, “no, I’m not. Secondly, fuck off am I telling a stranger where I live. I have lived in London long enough to pick up that much, at least. Thirdly, who are you? And how do I know you?”

    “I—“ the man says, frowning. “I don’t know either. But I know you.”

    -

    Somewhere else, through a train window, Martin spots a familiar face.

    Summary

    Jon doesn't have a date for the Magnus Institute's Summer Solstice party, and he's being very normal about it. So normal in fact that he decides to go online and find someone to pretend to be his partner for the night. Fortunately (?) he finds a guy with a surprisingly compatible problem.
