  5. Summary

    This is a companion to the "Lollie" stories I have written. It takes a look at points in the past and future that fall outside of timeline of the current story. These are all one shots, and I'm going to post them in the order that they were written, which is non-linear. There are seven stories in all.

    Summary

    This story follows the book universe (both CMBYN and Find Me) for the most part, with a few nods to things that happen in the film. So the date is 2005, 18 years after the summer of 1987. Elio is a concert pianist, living in Europe, and Oliver is an associate professor of Classical Studies at Columbia, in New York City. Oliver and Elio are estranged, having fallen out of contact after Elio’s visit to Oliver’s university three years previously. They meet once again on a cruise in the Aegean Sea. They also meet a number of other people—all original characters for this story—with whom they interact in a variety of ways. These individuals may be “minor” characters, but they are very important to Oliver and Elio.

    Summary

    The story is set between London and France during WW2. Elio is Jewish but Oliver isn’t, for plot reasons. There is an initial relationship between Oliver and a male OC, which I will keep short and sweet, and without which Oliver and Elio wouldn’t be able to meet.
    The story was inspired by Charlotte Gray, but many things have been changed for obvious reasons.
    There will be angst because we are in Nazi-occupied France and Elio is a Jew, but I guarantee that the boys will have their happy ending.

    The usual warnings apply: the characters are not mine, I don't own anything but my own reinvention of their story.

    Summary

    I tried to keep my footsteps quiet as I approached 06, where I knew he was. Or, where he had said he was.

    I took another deep breath, I wouldn't let nerves get in the way. With any luck Ambrose was experiencing the same things I was.

    "We should go somewhere."
    I looked up from the tea Ambrose had handed me. "Don't you think?"
