Summary
Grantaire moved to Berlin five years ago. He's happy, he gets to be a painter, he has a group of friends whom he adores, he's a well-adjusted adult living his dream life. The best part is, he still keeps in touch with all the Amis. They visit regularly and call often, they didn't stop being a presence in his life just because he's not in Paris anymore.
There is only one person that hasn't visited. For years, it formed a hole in his chest. After some time, he realised he may never fill that hole, but that maybe that was okay, that he could let bad things happen to him and not get stuck in misery. That he didn’t have to let life happen to him just because of the boy he fell in love with at 18.
So when he saw the text at the top of his phone screen he had to steel himself on the pavement and rub at his eyes to make sure he was seeing right. He didn’t feel like the lovestruck 18 year old he was when they met, or even like the hurt and resentful 23 year old he was when he left. He just felt the cold breeze, and half-stared at his phone.
Enjolras [17:03]: Hello Grantaire, it's Enjolras. I will be in Berlin next week - do you know any good hotels around the city centre? Thank you.

Summary
“Is someone dying?” Elliott asked in a monotone, concealing the fact that he was quite glad to have a visitor. “And if so, why did you think I was the best person to call for help? Willy is right there, and he’s far more equipped to handle emergencies like that.”
“No one… dying…” Leah panted. “There’s a-”
“Did you run all the way here from your cabin?” Elliott interrupted. “You look terrible.”
“Yeah, I needed to tell you as soon as I found out-”
“What, did Lewis finally make his relationship with Marnie public? I hope he knows that their ‘secret’ fling is neither secret nor a fling.”
“Will you-” Leah spat, with an irritated huff. She covered Elliott’s mouth with the hand that wasn’t holding herself up on the doorframe, literally shutting him up. “Shush!” She took another few breaths. Elliott’s mouth quirked into a small grin. He quelled his immediate desire to guess something else and let her get the words out.
“There’s a new farmer living on Old Man Allen’s property!” Leah blurted out, her voice a fast continuous stream that was punctuated by a stupid grin. “And he’s hooooooot!”

Summary
“Did you know,” Sam murmured, fighting off another bout of drunken giggles. “Did you know you have fire opals for eyes?”
Sebastian’s lips had fallen into a withering glower that only deepened at his words. “My eyes aren’t some gemstone,” he scoffed, feeling his face heat rapidly. “If anything, yours are frozen tears.” Sebastian weighed the next sentence in his mind before saying it aloud. What the hell, he decided, Sam probably wouldn’t even remember this conversation tomorrow.
“They’re the exact same pale, icy blue as your eyes.”
Sam's eyes lit up with recognition. “The one on your nightstand?” Oh. Sebastian wasn’t sure what to even say to that. Deny it? Admit that he loved sleeping beside the stone that reminded him so vividly of his best friend?
OR:
How Sebastian figures out his feelings for Sam, oblivious to the fact that his best friend is attempting much the same thing. Also: why frozen tears are a loved gift for Seb (and no, it's not because he's emo).Bookmarked by orpheus_will_sing
