Summary
The silence made him think that Kendall wasn’t even listening to him. But when he squinted, trying to get his eyes accustomed to the darkness, he saw his eyebrows twitching. It was suddenly clear that he was suffering. He swallowed harshly and patiently waited for an answer.
He then felt Kendall tilt his face upwards, and he held him tighter in response. He was surprised, however, when their eyes met, to see his expression shift from one of suspicion to a sincere smile, “I’m okay, Stew. Really. It’s okay that I like drugs more than you… as long as you like money a bit more than me. Heads and tails, man. The same coin.”
———
30 years of Kendall and Stewy on-and-off relationship. -

Summary
“I was looking everywhere for you! I was almost scared that I was here all alone!” Satoru caresses his neck, almost too touchy, as if he’s trying to figure out if he’s real or not.
“Why are you here? You don’t belong here,” his voice is muffled by Satoru’s high school jacket.
“Why shouldn’t I be here?” Suguru can practically hear the kindness in Satoru’s voice: “You’re the only person I want to see.”

Summary
“I don’t think my brother could survive losing another kid,” he said quietly.
Maria frowned, “I didn’t realize it was that serious between them.”
He laughed, “Oh, that’s because you didn’t hear their very father-daughter shouting match that they had back in autumn.”
Or: pre-canon, canon and post canon from Tommy’s point of view. Lots of brotherly love, angst and good uncle Tommy <3

Summary
Yusuf couldn’t help but snort, drawing Nicolò’s glare.
“It’s not funny,” Nicolò said over the burst of Yusuf’s laughter. “I don't see why it’s only happening to me and not to you.”
“God loves me more,” Yusuf said quickly, as he had many times before.
In the early days of their friendship, Nicky and Joe stumbled across a family in need of their particular brand of help.
Technically a prequel to Driving Lessons, but stands alone.

Summary
Nicolo Genova, or Nicky to his American friends, is just trying to get through his PhD program. He's writing his dissertation on Post-classical homoerotic poetry, but he cannot find anyone who speaks an extinct dialect of Arabic so he can translate a famed love poem by a little known poet, al-Kaysani.
Strangely enough, his friend knows a professor on campus who can translate the poem. What starts as a simple request for assistance on his dissertation blossoms into something that Nicky -- shy, reserved Nicky who abandoned his plans for the priesthood months before ordination -- had never imagined for himself: true love.
What he doesn't know is that Dr. Joseph Jones (his handsome, erudite, kind, lovely Joe) is harboring a secret too large for anyone to believe -- and that secret might just cost them everything.
