“Son. You were…good.” The word good seemed foreign to his tongue, and distasteful, but his tone sounded less venomous than Neil had expected. Instead, he sounded tired. Resigned, almost, like he was done fighting. “You were really good.”
In which Thomas Perry learns to let go, and Neil Perry lives happily ever after.
Seeing Neil in his play, his passion and his talent, changes Mr. Perry's mind. This is the conversation they have after the show.

Summary
It had been anonymously published. The poem. He'd made sure of it, insisted even. Made it clear that he wouldn't let them publish it at all if they didn't. Had stayed firm, even when they complained and reminded him of how much money his name alone generated after so many years. When they finally relented and eventually asked him why?
He simply said; "The ones I wrote it for will know it's theirs in a heartbeat. All I need to is share it."

Summary
"Pulse now under control, and once more in the headspace to feel sure of himself, Todd lets his eyes skim over the man at the front of the theater. The dim house lights bathe his features gently, highlighting his sharp cheekbones and bright smile when he turns to speak to the director, who's sitting beside him. Todd hums, thinking, very privately, that the man had a nice profile, handsome and strong. His smile seems self assured and warm, cutting through the darkness blanketing the theater and making Todd pause for an embarrassingly long moment.
'He wouldn’t even need me if he were on stage,' Todd thought, 'he would light up all on his own.'"A fic in which Todd, now head of the lights crew at a small New York City theater, finds himself falling head over heels just days before opening night.

A Todd le gustaba observar.
Sus manos solo se sentían verdaderamente suyas cuando estaban entrelazadas para rezar, con las rodillas clavadas en el piso y el pelo sobre la cara.
Ultimamente habia estado observando la espalda de su compañero Neil más de lo que le gustaría confesar, y las rodillas le dolían cada vez más. -
