    Summary

    Fic title from The Leanover by Life Without Buildings

    A look through the years at how actual filmmaker Matt Johnson and actual composer Jay McCarrol continually attempt to stuff their ever-evolving relationship back into its platonic confines.

    -
    “Hey. Stay still.” Jay said, very matter-of-factly. He rested his head down once more, and actually closed his eyes. There was something serene about it, something that made Matt feel more comfortable somehow. Here, in the closest he’d ever come to sex so far, he was under no obligation to perform. No eyes were on him, no cues were being taken from him, not even the gaze of the guy who had his fucking dick in his hand would rest upon him. Matt knew Jay was too high to have done that intentionally, but part of him wondered whether it was a subconscious choice. If he really did know Matt that well, to know that he wouldn’t be able to let go of himself with an audience.

    Summary

    “What? You don't wanna become a man tonight? Or…make me a man?” He's yelling over the music, the mechanical sounds of the arcade. Jay genuinely wants to die.

    Summary

    Jay can't dodge this one. Mrs. Johnson is turning seventy-five and she wants her entire family to spend half of December together. They've rented two massive cottages in a fancy winter resort four hours north of Toronto. Maybe, maybe, if he and Matt weren't getting married, he could duck out of it. Maybe if fifty thousand dollars weren't being dangled above their heads, he could whine and mope his way free.

    But Matt wouldn't hear it.

    "You're going," he said.

    Summary

    Matt is caught with a locker full of guns before he’s able to shoot anyone. He’s expelled and his family moves to the other side of the city, where he starts at a new school. He’s been banned from watching movies, creating movies and basically doing anything that would bring him joy.

    He’s also not meant to contact Owen, but if he happens to find a boy in the music room that just happens to remind him of Owen, that’s probably okay. That’s probably healthy. There’s no rules against that.

    Summary

    As Jay wakes up he realizes he had the same dream again. It wasn't identical, but it was in the same unkempt house with the sun setting through the front window, at the same piano. And the man who ruined his life yesterday was wearing a really, really stupid hat. 

    ---
    Matt and Jay are stuck in a cursed world where they never met. Jay is a corporate jingle writer, and Matt is a hedge fund manager about to liquidate his office. They don't remember their real lives, or each other. They have a lot of soul searching to do before they can escape.
