    Summary

    After pulling Simon out of guaranteed death, Jack is faced with conflicting thoughts regarding the situation around him on the island, and these thoughts follow him even as they're all rescued.

    Or, Simon tries to tell everyone about the beast, fails, but gets saved after someone recognizes it's him.

    Also I gave Simon a sister cause he low-key needs someone to tell him that it's okay to be abnormally attached to someone

    "Am I allowed to say that I love you?"

    "The pair had this language of sorts, something entirely theirs; pleas were replaced by slow periods of eye contact, and answers were given with each breath they took."
    Essa parte me fez pensar na cena de 'Retrato de uma jovem em chamas' quando a Heloïse pergunta para a Marianne "Todos os amantes sentem que estão inventando algo? Eu conheço os gestos. Imaginei tudo isso, esperando por você" acho que esse capítulo trabalhou tão bem com a ideia do amor como construção de uma linguagem única e exclusiva entre amantes, não um sucessão de gestos padronizados. Acho que o amor queer, jovem e "proibido" é o que melhor trabalhar com isso.

    "Jack had kissed Simon with the same mouth he'd used to laugh at him, had pulled him from certain death with the same hands he used to steal his diary, and that same head of bright hair had laid on his lap as naturally as it had caked itself in 'warpaint'. Jack was so full of conflictions it was a miracle Simon wasn't crazy yet. He was lucky he'd gotten used to the storm early on."

    Uma das minhas partes favoritos! Gosto de como a dinâmica deles foi trabalhada aqui.

    Summary

    “See?” He asks again, quieter now, “Do you see what you do to me?”
    Simon takes a deep and steadying breath. His head feels thick and throbbing. He needs to be brave now. His father used to say he lacked that all the time. He touches the wrist of the hand Jack has over his own, brings it gently to his own chest, his own heart.
    “We must have the same thing,” he says, then.

    Summary

    It’s just another Christmas spent at school for Simon and Jack.

    Snow is falling in sheets outside, while fire crackles to life in front of two boys with too much time to think. They talk about growing up. About what comes next. About who they’re supposed to be with.

    Neither of them are as good at pretending as they think.
