    Summary

    The guy laughs—a warm, low sound, caramel-sweet. “You really don’t remember anything?”

    “Not a blip,” Bdubs says. “Wait, I didn’t get your name. What’s your name?”

    There’s a second when Bdubs thinks he won’t answer—he just looks at Bdubs, and his eyes go strangely crinkley around the corners. Then, he says, “Etho. I’m Etho, Bdubs.”

    Bdubs has amnesia. But that's not going to stop him coming to some extremely rational conclusions about the state of his own heart.

    Summary

    And yet, it occurs to me now that we can never run with out lies indefinitely. Sooner or later we are forced to confront their darkness. We can choose the when, not the if. And the longer we wait, the more painful and uncertain it will be.
    Tomasz Jedrowski

    Etho isn't even that drunk when he finds himself tugged to the club's bathroom by a pretty stranger. There is a wall behind them, and Etho tries to stop himself from thinking about how many sweaty people fucked against it before them, the same night. He wonders, dizzy with anticipation, if they are going to add to the tally.

    This, he thinks, his mother will never know about.

    Summary

    Staring at him feels personal, like peering in on a memory he doesn’t know he had. He should know this moment, this feeling, this man. He should recognize that deep, bone-aching pull inside himself that leaves him cemented in that stool, that nags at him that maybe, after all this time, he’s finally ended up in a specific place for a specific reason. There’s plenty of things he’s been waiting for— a sign, a reason, a why— but this?

    Bdubs licks his lips. “Do I know you?”

    A private smile. Even through the mask, Bdubs can see it. “Not yet.”

    “But I will?"

    Or; Bdubs jumps through time. Etho outlasts it.

    Summary

    The awkward kid standing in front of him has to be, what, twenty five? Twenty six, tops. Hardly a kid at all, really, but Jeez, does Bdubs ever feel like an old geezer looking at him.

    “Etho?” he says experimentally.

    The kid blinks over at him owlishly. “Bdubs?” he says and, yeah, that’s Etho’s voice alright. Quiet and unsure, and softer than it’s been in years, but definitely, definitely Etho.

    As sculk contamination puts the future of Season 10 in doubt, the situation gets more complicated when an Etho from 2013 lands in the hermits' laps.

    Summary

    Bdubs has big brown eyes and tan skin and sure, yes, Etho likes that. He likes Bdubs. That's not new.

    But now Bdubs is wearing cologne, and Etho likes it maybe a bit more than he can keep to himself. That is new.
