Summary
“...Hi,” was all that Oliver managed to let out. He had lost all control of his limbs and heartbeat. All the movement he could not direct to his body was concentrated in his chest, palpitating, burning, to the point he thought it was about to explode.
The owner of those deep, familiar, wrinkled eyes stepped out on the threshold. Wide gaze, lips parted, black curls – with some precious gray threads in between – falling over his forehead. The resemblance was uncanny, his reaction left no doubt, but Oliver still couldn't believe his eyes. Not until the man finally spoke: “...Oliver?”
After convincing Filippa to support him in his search, Olivers eventually finds a very much alive James Farrow. He needs answers; and, most importantly, he needs him. -

Summary
“What did she say?” he asks.
Meredith sucks her bottom lip again, uncharacteristically hesitant. Though Oliver only reintegrated about a week ago, he’s already noticed Meredith’s edge, sharper than ever. She knows her worth, and Oliver guesses, without having asked, that Meredith hasn’t simply climbed the ladder; she’s clawed her way up. “She’s wondering if you’re returning for the reunion. Dellecher. Classes 1996 to 1999.”
Oliver freezes up. “Go back to Dellecher?”
Or: Right out of prison, Oliver joins the rest of his Dellecher year for the alum tradition of returning for a week, and someone unexpected shows up. (You know who it is.)

Summary
Oliver had almost no recollection of the rest of the Christmas masque, slipping in and out of awareness just long enough to get his hands on a drink or to engage in brief pleasantries with onlookers hoping to congratulate him on his performance. He didn’t dare attempt to find James, worrying what else may befall his troubled mind if his eyes crept their way along James’ face once again that night. He also desperately tried to avoid Meredith, but she snuck her way into his mind and filled it with ugly, hot flashes of guilt.
He got blackout drunk before James could keep her company in his mind.
Or: Oliver ends up having a nice little chat with Alexander and Colin after the Romeo and Juliet performance in regard to his strange feelings about James. They help him realize that, maybe, his feelings aren't 100% platonic.

Summary
𓆩⟡𓆪 When the shock of seeing James in the middle of the night on the porch with a duffel bag at his feet—completely unexpected but far from unwelcome—had slightly worn off as I led him inside, through the living room, up the stairs, to my room, I realised how utterly insane this situation was. James was here, with me, in my family’s house. James, of all people.

That bedroom scene with James and Oliver, just as it starts in the book... but it proceeds differently.
