Summary
Thank yous were said to Bunny, and he bowed like he was a talk show host walking off stage – see you next time, folks! – and Camilla stepped forward in his place, box in hand, standing at the head of the grave plot and glancing down into the earth.
“Put him in, little lady.” Bunny motioned with his head towards her and put a hand on the small of her back.
She nodded, crouched, and lowered the box into the hole. -

Summary
Julian Devorak & Asra Alnazar were both born to run.
They could never let go of each other, and they both knew it. They were a day drink.
Parts of them would be forever intertwined; they would always carry pieces of each other with them, no matter how far away from each other they ran. To Nopal, to Nevivon, they would always keep each other close.

Summary
As Cal took a short beat to fully recover from the multiple punches both boys had thrown, a slow, entertained grin stretched across his fair complexion, like an apex predator baring its teeth at its competitor. He was quick, almost too quick, as his mind jumped back into asserting control over Andre. But he didn't want to respond to him, since actions speak louder than words.

Summary
I had come to learn over the course of the last few months that affections such as these were not a linear matter, but instead were a complex, winding sort of thing that travelled between everyone in all directions, and were as casual and easygoing to them as any other aspect of friendship. This final piece of the puzzle made clear the reason for so much of their secretive, withdrawn manner towards me – not of a dislike of my character, nor a distrust of me, but because there was something very unusual about the intimacy that flowed between them all that necessitated such clandestine behavior.
Or, in which Richard spends a tender moment with each member of the Greek class.

Summary
"After all, what are they if not two fools orbiting the same bad habits? The scars on their skin sneer up at them with the answer carved in each matching, branching fractal."
In the middle of a stormy night, they contemplate loss. One of them is more used to the idea, and far more afraid of it than he can ever say to the other.

So We’ve Had Our Iliad by WhyDoesEverythingHappenSoMuch

Summary
It’d started with one of his monologues about Plato and Greece and all the glittering bits of knowledge about an age long passed. He’d told me of Achilles and Patroclus, a place he often started when he wasn’t sure how to ask me to bed. I would have taken a simple, “shall we.” I would have gone at a nod, a gesture.
That morning, still blurry with sleep, he poured a cup of earl grey and told me of the scholarly debate surrounding two warriors and their nightly arrangements. He’d never fully been able to make his point, circling back to Plato whenever he came too near to voicing his actual desire.--
In which Henry is interested in flipping their usual roles.
