    Summary

    “Do we get second chances in this life, Todd?” Neil asks him like he expects a negative answer. Todd doesn’t give that to him.
    “Yes. We do. I know it.”
    “Do you?” Neil grins, playfully elbowing him. “Did you at least wait to take it? That second chance? Until the world was more peaceful? More kind?”

    Ten years after the death of Neil Perry, Todd Anderson wakes up with a second chance.

    Summary

    Neil knew, better than anyone, that Todd Anderson was special. Ethereal, even. He was warm and earnest and gentle in a school that, most days, was more excrement than excellent.

    It should have come as no surprise when someone else seemed to come to that same realisation.

    It was fine. Todd deserved the recognition. Neil wasn’t jealous.

    Not at all.

    Summary

    Eddie's eyebrows shoot up as high as they can go. His heart is beating a rabbit rhythm against his chest. The floor below him crumbling into an abyss. He’s in free fall here, utterly helpless to the onslaught that is Steve’s confession.

    Drunk confession.

    The reminder does nothing to soften the blow when he feels calloused fingertips on the corner of his eye. “And your laugh lines, I don’t know anybody who has them. Not as deep as yours.” Steve’s fingers drag lower, to his cheeks, and brush against the scars on his jaw. “Has anybody ever told you that you laugh with your entire face?”

     

    OR a reverse 5+1: The one time Steve drunkenly confesses all the things he likes about Eddie and the five times Eddie tries to fluster him with said attributes.

    Summary

    It works. For a little while, it works pretty fucking well. It isn't ideal, it never will be, but it's what they need and it's working.

    So of course, something goes horribly wrong in what was meant to be a fool proof plan to gently extricate himself from Todd, even though it feels like peeling off his own skin. Todd starts initiating contact with him. In small ways of course, same as how Neil had done when they first met, but the roles are reversed and Neil thinks maybe he doesn't have to die to reach his special place in Hell, he's already living it. 

     Todd is...surprisingly touchy. Neil is...not quite coping.

    Summary

    On the night of the play at Henley Hall, after Puck turned back into Neil Perry, Todd Anderson felt an odd sense of foreboding as the car rolled away...and made a choice.
