Summary
“‘Course I’m okay.” Neil smiled peculiarly. “Tonight’s the night.”
“What night?”
He laughed, staring absurdly. “The play. The play is tonight.”
“It is?”
“What’s gotten into you, Todd?” He felt along his forehead for a fever he wouldn’t find.
Todd swallowed and started to bring himself off the floor. “Just had a weird dream, I guess.”OR my timeloop fic where Todd gets stuck reliving the night of the play until he can save Neil

Summary
More than anything, Todd knew this one simple fact better than anybody else - eventually, everyone left. He just needed to wait for the other shoe to drop.
Or 7 times Todd thought that the other shoe would drop + 1 time he realized it never would.

Summary
The classroom a theatre, his classmates the audience, everyone—everyone!—an actor—and he feels an irrational urge, right then and there, to stand up and speak. Something clenches in his chest, and elation hooks a chandelier over the dim, cold classroom lamps, and Neil becomes aware of a yearning, brighter and brighter, that implores him, begs on its knees to speak—and dear God—he wants, and wants, and wants so much that it clenches his hands into fists and his mouth into a line and squeezes life out of him, there to be found yet—and to be an actor, even miles away from a stage, is a prospect as heartbreaking as it’s possible, because now the stage is right in front of him and it’s almost pathetic, is pathetic, how much he wants to feel the words (drip from his tongue, like honey).
—
In which Neil’s father doesn’t let him audition for Henley Hall, but A Midsummer Night’s Dream features heavily in Welton’s literature lessons—and when a performance opportunity rolls around (disguised as Welton’s annual Open House ceremony), it prompts Todd into directing that very same play.
And Neil, of course, wants to act.
(Or: In which Todd and Neil save each other.)
