Summary
All of me, huh? Could he do that? He'd done so much in secret for so long, it felt terrifying to drag it all into the light. But for Till? For himself and the chance that this time, maybe, they could be different?
"Yeah."
And then Till looked over his shoulder, caught Ivan's gaze and held it. "Thank you. I know I'm really late in saying it. But I'm also really, really happy that I still have the chance to say it at all."
Till believed Ivan died sacrificing himself for him. Ivan believed Till died in the fiery destruction of the Alien Stage.
And neither knew that the other survived.
Eight years later, Till has settled into caring for the children he'd rescued from the Alien Stage Museum with the help of the rest of the Rebellion, while Ivan continues working to fulfill what he believes would have been Till's last wish. When they're reunited, they have the chance to say everything they should have said once upon a time and to discover the mutual love that once eluded them. But only if they can overcome all the scars that mark them.

Bookmarker's Notes
“ Ivan’s heart has always been just another one of those objects that he would ‘borrow’ from Till to see how he would react when he would return them. It is currently in Ivan’s possession, strictly speaking, but it has belonged to Till from the moment his tiny fists first left bruises in the shape of knuckles on Ivan’s fair skin.”

Summary
“I doubt that so much is written about the mystery of love for it to be as simple as that.” Ivan adjusts how he’s sitting to get a little closer to Till, so that they’re less across from one another and more side-by-side. Till doesn't shift away. “I’d say it’s human to want to be taken care of.”
“Fuck if I know,” Till sighs. “Fuck. If. I. Know.”
“Thankfully, life is about finding the answers, not having them.” Ivan shifts so that their shoulders touch, one of the plastic leaves catching on his cat-ear headband.
(Or: Present-day Chicago, teeming with werewolves and vampires alike. Till, a werewolf, finds a very unlikely friend in Ivan, a vampire.)

Summary
It, at most, was a 30-second ordeal before teachers pushed their way through the crowd and dragged him off of Ivan.
But it felt like forever.
Forever of Till looking for an opening, forever of Ivan's fist pounding at whatever part of Till's body he could make contact with, and when Till finally gained the upper hand, forever of Ivan giving up and hearing his sorrowful cries.

[Three times Till fails to tell Ivan how much he likes him, one time he finally gets it right.]

Summary
Ivan wakes up in a grass field full of red flowers. The air is warm and dry, and Ivan breathes it in, the ghost of rain still running down his face and the image of Till’s shocked face smeared in his vision. A beautiful blue sky looms overhead.
On his left, a boy with gray hair lays beside him, fast asleep. Ivan thinks surely even death could not be this cruel. Ivan swallows as he skims his fingers over the boy’s face.
“Till.” He says, too softly for anyone to hear.
Till stirs, his eyelids twitch, but he doesn’t wake.
Ah.
Ivan wonders which part of this is the bad dream.
