Summary
"Give. Him. Back." Each word was a command and a promise of retribution should he not be obeyed to whatever being had torn his spade from his side.
Or
What if Alex had a do-over.

Summary
"You're the first, okay?" Nigel tells Alex, like this is supposed to mean something to him. "The first."
It does, Alex realizes. Nigel was untrusting of others, quiet and shadow-like for a reason. He knew he didn't fit in with the other kids and it wasn't intended to be because of quirky reasons.
Nigel Colbie was unsettling, he was a loner because he preferred it and it was safer that way. He did not know how to handle the idea of companionship. He found interest and fascination in what others found disgusting and off-putting. He did not entertain the idea of playing docile, caretaker wife and kindhearted, nurturing mother. He was not capable of love. He was obsessive and observant of what he was interested in and his sights were locked onto Alex, because Alex threw himself in the cross-hair and now he cannot escape the scope.
~~~
Or, the Forbie relationship is forced because their fathers meddle too much and still believe in arranged marriages and believe that their sons would be good for each other (match each other's freak too well) and there's nothing that either of them can do except get to know each other, while still playing their fucked up mind games. *swoon*

Summary
It's the fourth sniffle that breaks the almost deafening silence of their dorm room and Alex sits up, about to fling his pillow at Nigel, who is directly across from him.
"If you don't go blow your nose, I will smother you to death, Nigel," Alex hisses as menacingly possible, despite that his voice does crack from misuse due to sleep.
The sniffly lump that Alex can vaguely make-out in the dim moonlight that filters through their curtains, doesn't move.
~~~
Or, Alex has a whole (gay) crisis bc he thinks he might actually care about Nigel and (maybe needs to use the Internet for some self-discovery) that he likes it when his mentally eel roommate is dependent on him.

Summary
Alex wasn’t much of a believer.
So when he met Nigel Colbie—a creature of gospel, somebody who kept a rosary in his pocket and a cross necklace under his uniform—he had been so incredibly confused that the only way he thought of to react was claws out.Or
They have it out nasty style.

Summary
(A continuation from where the movie leaves off, with Alex on the train after stealing Susan’s skull.)
Nine months after Susan Mueller’s death, Alex Forbes is now eighteen years old, in Year 13, and on the run from the law. As he tries to fill the roll left vacant by Nigel’s absence while avoiding being arrested for grave desecration, an improbable series of coincidences, crime, and lies ensues.
(I will update the rating and the tags, especially the relationship tags, as the story progresses).

Summary
(…) Alex thought this kind of life—mud and cold, animal blood, isolation—would drive him mad in a matter of days. But it hadn’t. It was quiet. Rational in its way. The patterns of the woods, the tasks of survival. It made more sense than anything else ever had, especially the suffocating madness of school. Out here, he just had to keep them alive.
Their days bled together.
Nigel took to the house like he’d been preparing for it his whole life. Their shared bedroom looked like a Victorian playhouse for the dead—lace curtains, candle stubs, pressed flowers between pages of anatomy textbooks. His dissecting tools were neatly laid on a repurposed spice rack. There was always something drying on the clothesline out back—Nigel’s laundry, yes, but also the odd wing, tail, or jawbone wrapped in cheesecloth.
Alex, for his part, spent most of his time reading or watching the mist move across the moor through the tiny, warped glass panes. He smoked too much, kept the ashtray by the bed, wrote in a small black notebook about nothing at all—just lines and half-formed thoughts.
Nigel told Alex once that he didn’t believe in God but thought whatever they had might be worse, and more beautiful. (…)

Summary
‘His lips would not bend to kiss her. He wanted to be held firmly in her arms, to be caressed slowly, slowly, slowly. In her arms he felt that he had suddenly become strong and fearless and sure of himself. But his lips would not bend to kiss her.’
‘With a sudden movement she bowed his head and joined her lips to his and he read the meaning of her movements in her frank uplifted eyes. It was too much for him. He closed his eyes, surrendering himself to her, body and mind, conscious of nothing in the world but the dark pressure of her softly parting lips. They pressed upon his brain as upon his lips as though they were the vehicle of a vague speech; and between them he felt an unknown and timid pressure, darker than the swoon of sin, softer than sound or odour.’
“In your absence dear brother, a child was born: a child with your face and dreams so loud I could not help but interfere.”
In which Dream’s imprisonment ends a few decades earlier and Desire decides that’s simply not good enough.
In which Dream sees himself in one young Nigel Colbie. -
