    Summary

    ‘Do you ever wonder what you’re doing here?’ Posner asks.

    ‘At Oxford?’

    ‘Anywhere. What the point of it all is.’

    Posner feels Scripps shift beside him. ‘I don’t think anyone knows the answer to that. God would say worship. Jesus would say love.’

    ‘And what would you say?’

    Scripps falls silent as he ponders the question. Then: ‘I think it’s being with the people you care about. Finding moments of quiet. Looking for beauty.’

    Posner smiles bitterly. ‘I don’t think I could find it if I tried.’

    ~

    Posner navigates adult life and everything that comes with it, both the good and the bad. Thankfully, Scripps is there through it all, in confusingly fluctuating capacities as friend and lover.

    Rated M for some pretty heavy mental health stuff, a suicide attempt by OD (though not in graphic detail), and sexual content (again, not super graphic, but there are sex scenes). Triggers for individual chapters will be in the notes. Please be careful! This is angsty, but I swear it ends happily.

    Title is from As I Walked Out One Evening by Auden.

    Summary

    Love, friendship and the trials of soul marks are never easy to navigate. At eighteen, a name on your forearm can make the world all the more a painful and confusing place.

    Summary

    “Here, of all places,” Irwin says. “You’ve quite an imagination.”

    “As if you didn’t know,” Dakin says. The ghost of a grin surfaces in his voice, slow. “As if.”

    (Or: five drinks Tom Irwin has shared with somebody since he arrived in Sheffield... and the one drink he never got to have.)

    Summary

    In which our boys are transported to the 1940s

    It’s funny, Posner thinks, but in a dozen flights he hasn’t even seen Dover. He’s seen neither Dover, nor France, nor Germany, nor Denmark—all he’s seen is a patch of sky over the heads of Scripps and Dakin when they carve out a minute on a calm section of the route. All the places they’ve been he knows only from his maps: bends in the rivers, city markers, scraps of fields, anti-aircraft weapon stations. Maybe it’s for the best.

    Summary

    Posner is at first convinced that Scripps has disappeared off the face of the earth, and after talking it out with Dakin, he's determined to do something about it.
    Thankfully, Scripps is finally willing to accept some help... eventually.

    Excerpt:

    "Adult life was a lot like drowning, a lot like poetry, he supposed. You never knew how it was going to turn out. Even if you could swim, even if you could write, even if you could file taxes or talk to your friends, you never really knew."
