    Summary

    Lestat is stuck. He feels directionless in a life that has become increasingly more predictable day by day. However, after Lestat meets a handsome stranger at a wedding, he finally feels ready to move forward. Which is ultimately impossible considering that Lestat is trapped in an infinite time loop, forced to relive the same day over and over again.

    Summary

    The review is gonna be good. Don’t worry about that.”

    “Don’t tell me not to fucking worry.”

    Carmy bristles, steps back a bit. “I’m doing this shit for yo- for-for all of us. I told you this was how it’s done, you said you wanted to do this with me—"

    “That’s when I thought you actually saw me, Carmen. When-when you listened to my ideas and took my opinions into consideration. I’m not your babysitter and I’m not your fucking yes man. You don’t have any fucking idea what it’s like to be me in this industry for even a day. This is it. This is all I have and you’re ruining it.”

    **********

    outside ever, carmy and sydney have the conversation they've both been avoiding. one conversation paves the path for more. and more.

    Summary

    “Art.”

    You whip off your sunglasses to look him squarely in the eye.

    “I can’t spend the rest of my life feeling like I’m coming in second place to my best friend. Can you?”

    ---
    This is the story of how you and Tashi Duncan become best friends in college. Or more so, the story of how she had chosen you to be her best friend.

    If only you knew then what a dangerous thing that was—to be chosen by someone like Tashi.

    Summary

    Carmy’s never really felt this way before. Never really felt this close to a person before. He can see everything she can see, but only when she wants him to. They figured out that this was something they could control. And it doesn’t matter much because he tells Sydney everything anyway. What was bugging him at school, what Natalie has been in his ear about lately, even panic attacks he can’t seem to explain to anyone else. Sydney understands. She always does.

    **********
