Summary
Five moments in Larry and Cynthia's relationship, four before Connor was born, one after he died.
(EDIT: this was once a one shot about a pregnancy scare but now it's more like a collection following a vague storyline. They're fluffy I think)

Summary
Heidi was tired. She was so fucking tired, and it hurt so much, she just wanted to sleep. God, she wanted to rest, just for a few hours. But every time she closed her eyes she saw Evan lying broken and crumpled in the hospital bed, and when she put everything away there was nothing to think about other than how she'd failed as a mother, so here she was, at three in the morning on her fifth consecutive cup of coffee, googling “cheap caskets” and trying to forget who it was for.

Summary
Cynthia woke up to a pain in her abdomen, and her first thought was that period cramps sucked. Her second thought was that she shouldn't be having a period.
(Aka I love Cynthia but causing fictional characters pain is fun)
(Aaka the mobile tagging system sucks and it's five am have fun)

Summary
A late-night phone conversation. An eavesdropping father.
“OK, yeah. It’s late. I can pick you up on the way to school tomorrow if you want? Yeah, OK…Love you too, Ev.”
Larry heads to bed, mentally churning through every “Ev” name he knows – Evelyn? Eva? Evangeline?
Cynthia rolls over as he climbs into bed, and slurs out a sleepy “It’s late.”
“Ev,” says Larry. “Ev, who’s Ev?”
(Or: Connor's in love. Larry's clueless. But trying.)

Summary
Maybe Connor woke up the day after his 27th birthday to find things aren’t as they should be. Or maybe Connor has appendicitis, a high fever and is on a lot of pain medication. When reality has a tendency to get strange, how can you really tell?

Summary
In another life, maybe things would have gone differently. Maybe this summer together would have had some magic effect on us that gave us both enough strength to keep living.
The one where Connor really does write his suicide letter to Evan, but it's not the letter from the play.

Summary
Admittedly, Zoe hadn’t really paid attention to Connor’s handwriting the last few years. The note could be years old. She isn’t even sure Connor had handwritten anything lately. He had mostly stopped doing his schoolwork years ago. Stopped interacting with everyone.
Mostly just spent his time getting high and torturing his sister.
But just like Zoe thinks she’d always remember that Connor’s favorite book as a kid was "Where The Wild Things Are", or how he would always laugh when she would jump off the sofa trying to be Wonder Woman, she’d always remember his handwriting.
Connor had left a letter for her.
