Summary
Lady Luck is elusive.
For Laurent, luck and good fortune doesn't exist. World would not make itself soft for you. You need to be strong enough to shatter earth itself but not yourself when you fall. Laurent knew that very well.
But things had been changing for him; he was changing, growing. And maybe this was time to change the way of thinking, challenge himself to change the way he was evolving...

Summary
Laurent knew that what he had with Damen was too good to be true, too fragile. They weren’t going to last and for Laurent, half the fun was in predicting which one of his toxic traits was going to tear them apart first.
Otherwise known as "Laurent being a self sabotaging precious bean"

Summary
Trust was a luxury Laurent couldn't afford in abundance. Laurent had mastered the art of letting go where the protection of his heart was concerned, simply because tired, fragile, battle worn things needed extra careful and cautious handling. And protecting himself was no one's business but his own.
Damen was the walking, talking metaphor of 'wearing heart on sleeves'. Privileged upbringing did not prevent him from acknowledging or appreciating real and good things. And he would fight anyone and everyone, even Laurent himself, to give him a chance to finally be with someone who makes his easily swayed heart strong and rooted.

Summary
Damen had learnt how to pick and choose his battles when it came to Laurent.
Nikandros? Not so much. Let's just say patient was not one of his virtues.
So, Damen made himself comfortable and settled in for what proved to be one of those long drawn out Laurent-Nikandros shouting match. Well, Nikandros did all the shouting, Laurent never lost his cool.

Summary
A 5+1 of Ilya and Shane finding their space together.
Can't get the puck to the net if you're always skating backwards, too afraid of taking a hit.
It took them so long to get here and now that they are, they must take the next step -- learn to face other people, emerge from their safe, secluded bubble and let other people in. Push through the fear.

Summary
So he reaches and searches for the prior conversation where he was told about his memory loss and the man beside him. He checks the nooks and crannies of his mind, desperately hoping that it hasn’t failed him. That the effort he’s put into maintaining his intelligence over the years has been worth it because this time, he can be better.
But, he finds nothing.
It’s empty. Blank. Scattered and useless.
Alex looks down at his lap, at his legs hidden by starchy white bed sheets. “I don’t understand,” he whispers, tearfully. “I don’t remember. Why can’t I remember?”
--
or, Alex loses the the last five and a half years of his memory along with any recollection of his relationship with Henry
