Summary
"Mike remembered now. Remembered one of the throwaway lines from a letter not so long ago so acutely he could almost see the scrawled words out in front of him. Will was painting. For a girl.
A girl.
A girl who he deemed important enough to spend hours thinking about, whose image colored every stroke on that canvas. A girl significant enough to have him clutching that paper like it was a part of him. A girl.
Mike was totally and irrefragably fucked. "
or:
What Mike Wheeler was really thinking in the moments where he behaved like he didn't think at all.
Title taken from The Stupidest Boy by 12 Rods.

Summary
It wasn't that Adam listened to the comments from other Aglionby boys about "the brain and the brawn" or took any of their gold-plated opinions into account.
It was the fearless, almost insubordinate, nature of Ronan's rolled up sleeves. Two handprints encircled his wrists, a deep violet, darker than any mark Adam had ever seen. Gansey sported a matching color on both palms, as if he'd dipped them completely in paint.

Summary
“No reason,” Neil bluffs. He chews on his cheek. “I just had a question. That’s all.”
“Oh,” Todd replies, a little mumbled. He yawns. “What was it?”
Neil stares up at the ceiling. Carpe diem, and all that, he thinks. The sentiment feels a little too large to carry.
He asks, “Have you ever been in love?”Neil auditions for a play, accidentally reads a poem, and falls in love – not necessarily in that order.

“Should we draw up a contract?” Knox jokes, sitting up a little straighter in his chair, a burst of confidence coursing through him.
Yeah, he’s going to help Todd romance the hell out of Neil.
[Knox and Todd make a pact: by the end of fall semester, Knox will be with Chris and Todd will be with Neil. If only life and Charlie Dalton would stop getting in the way.]

Summary
My dearest beloved,
It is with great relief that I finally write to you. I think it doubtful for my words to ever reach your ears, but spare me this chance to lend you a piece of my thoughts — and only a piece, for I must write with caution lest I be discovered.Neil, amidst his own internal emotional conflict, accidentally stumbles upon letters Todd had been writing in secret to an unknown recipient. Neil (an idiot) continues to intrude on Todd's privacy by reading each new letter in secret, continuously agitating over their purpose.

Summary
“D’you ever consider I did it on purpose? I am a bit of an attention-seeker, you know.” Perhaps Mike is drunker than Will initially thought.
“What?”
“How else could I get the chance to talk to you alone?” Will feels like the air was just knocked out of him. Of course Mike is joking, but there’s a hint of truth to the statement. He was looking for ways to get Will alone. Will isn’t sure whether this information excites him or terrifies him.
“You’re nutty,” Will says, physically shaking the worries from his head.
“Maybe so,” Mike says, “but it worked.”
A collection of moments between cowboy Mike and saloon worker Will as they start to understand what they want in life. Story set in the Red Dead Redemption universe. Byler Big Bang 2024
