    Summary

    -'They sat silently together for a while. Mathias watched Lukas, and wished that he could somehow stop watching him. Even just looking at him seemed wrong – seemed unbearably, unspeakably intimate. He blamed Lukas for being beautiful, for choosing this town over the thousands of others he could have picked. He blamed himself for not looking at the road that day, for being too weak to stop his suppressed attraction from rising monstrously inside him.'-

    Life is rarely easy and never perfect, as Mathias discovers one summer’s day, when he knocks the most beautiful young man he’s ever seen off his bike, and rediscovers the feelings that he thought he’d conquered years ago. Angsty romance, inspired by the Everly Brothers song of the same title.

    Summary

    Two men, two centuries, one name. In 1830, Mathias is a jaded novelist battling a laudanum addiction, hiding a secret and trapped by hypocritical society. In 2013, he's a lonely children's author struggling to find his path in life. One will fall for a captivating creature of the sea, the other for a troubled man who seems not quite of this world, an illustrator whose pictures show far more than just the story.

    Summary

    During an average summer in modern day, the Nordics meet up in the countryside for a long vacation to relax together. However, with hundreds of years of history between them, old memories get dredged up, both bad and good.

    Sendlingur og Sandlóa is a story about perspective, of loss and longing, the temperamental nature of both life and human relationships, and family.

    (Aromantic asexual Iceland, queerplatonic SuNor and EstFin, romantic DenNor and SuFin. Centered around DenNorIce as a family unit but includes other relationships as well. And honestly, even though this is my intent, you can freely interpret the relationships however you see fit and I actively encourage you to do so if you'd like.)
